James Heeley Iris de Nuit is an Eau de Parfum. Iris de Nuit opens with Angelica, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. James Heeley's Iris de Nuit carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one. While many adore its ethereal, melancholic beauty, some find it too green, too rooty, or just 'meh'. It's an iris for those who like their florals with a side of earth and introspection.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Iris de Nuit opens with the green, slightly herbaceous whisper of angelica, leading into a heart of powdery iris and dewy violet. The unusual carrot seeds add an earthy, rooty nuance that sets it apart from typical florals. As it dries, a soft cedar and warm amber provide a subtle, lasting depth.
