Our verdict on Iris Nazarena: Favourite

This is a truly magnificent Iris, dark and brooding, with a sophisticated earthiness that transcends gender. While some find it challenging and say it leans mature, for many, it's a masterpiece of understated elegance and quality. Definitely a "must-try for any Iris lover."

About

Iris Nazarena opens with a bold, earthy iris, underpinned by fresh juniper. As it settles, a rich, realistic leather emerges, intertwined with a touch of clove spice and delicate rose. The drydown is a deeply sophisticated union of vetiver, warm woods, amber, and a smoky incense, creating a dry, rooty, and subtly musky finish that lasts for ages.
