Pierre Guillaume Paris Iris Oriental 14 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Pierre Guillaume. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Iris Oriental 14 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously clever iris, a complex dance of warm spice and elegant floral that's surprisingly divisive. Some find it a masterpiece, others a bit muddled or not 'iris enough'. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and complex, warm notes make it too distinctive for a typical office environment. However, its elegance and subtle sensuality are perfect for dates and formal events, while still being versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.

About

Iris Oriental 14 opens with a dry, almost incense-like woodiness, quickly joined by the warm, aromatic kick of cardamom. The iris here isn't powdery or lipsticky, but a silken texture that weaves through honeyed sweetness and a touch of vanilla, eventually settling into a subtly smoky, woody base with hints of kyara wood. It’s a sophisticated, ever-evolving scent.
