Carolina Herrera 2020 EDP
Iris Empire
Carolina Herrera Iris Empire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Nelly Hachem-Ruiz. Iris Empire opens with Davana and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Iris and Violet, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Leather, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Carolina Herrera's Iris Empire carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.
This is a seriously divisive potion. Some find it a 'masterpiece' and 'gorgeous', while others are left cold by its earthy, lipstick-iris punch. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you love a complex, sophisticated interpretation of iris, you might just find your new obsession here.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its potent projection and dense, warm accords, particularly the iris and leather, make it a bit much for an office setting. However, its complex and luxurious nature makes it a perfect fit for a romantic date night or sophisticated formal events, especially in colder weather. It's too rich and heavy for casual or sporty wear.
