Ex Nihilo Iris Porcelana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Dalia Izem. Iris Porcelana opens with Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Ex Nihilo's Iris Porcelana carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

A divisive scent for some, a delicate delight for others. Iris Porcelana walks a fine line between a clean, ethereal floral and a synthetic-leaning, overly sweet iris. It's a 'your skin but better' vibe for those who love its soft, powdery embrace, though some find it lacks punch for the price.

Its soft sillage and clean, understated character make it perfect for the office or casual wear where subtlety is key. While elegant enough for formal settings, its delicate nature means it might get lost, and it's certainly not suited for sport. Many reviewers highlight its suitability for daily wear, office environments, and even spring daytime.

About

Ex Nihilo's Iris Porcelana opens with a fresh, almost aquatic violet leaf, quickly ushering in a distinctly powdery iris heart. This isn't a bold, waxy iris, but rather a gentle, airy interpretation, softened by a subtle rose. The dry down settles into a clean, musky sandalwood base with hints of cedar, creating a refined, transparent floral experience that evokes vintage cosmetic powders or even porcelain itself.
