Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile Acqua di Parma for women

EDP: This was barely detectable at first, like tap water that just dripped off of an iris, but eventually I was pleasantly surprised with one of the most beautiful, unique, elegant fragrances I have encountered.

Iris Nobile blooms on my skin and develops stronger and stronger with time but never becomes overpowering (unless the orange blossom starts to get bossy like it sometimes does). It is a sensual iris-ylang combo with only a slight edge of powder adding some femininity. There is also something in Iris Nobile that smells of sweaty, salty hair but it never crosses the line into animalic territory (although if it did, I wouldn't mind). It reminds me a little of Putain des Palaces but more refined and with better lasting power.

The entire composition eventually smells like a well-blended chypre instead of a purely iris-based scent.

Quite beautiful in hot weather, the icy iris has an opportunity to warm on the skin allowing sweeter notes of orange blossom, gardenia and mimose to shine radiantly.

Unbearable in cold conditions, clinically cold and oppressive, depressing even. A dreary iris dominates, like grey clouds covering a blue sky.

I have had an on/off relationship with Iris Nobile EDP for some time now.

The bath and body products are mediocre in that they don't truly represent the evolutionary capabilities of the EDP. Cool citrus notes blended with frigid irises sit flat on the skin, they do not warm up regardless of the season.

The perfume is a keeper, reserved for humid days only when I need a quality floral aroma around me to keep me calm and centred in an often uncomfortable heat.

I ordered a spray sample of this based on ecstatic mentions of this fragrance on the discussion boards. I should have looked on the notes listed for this and recognized that the high register of powderiness is perfume doom for me. The initial spray brought a very pretty scent which quickly faded to powder that was completely gone in well under two hours. This is a gorgeous perfume, but apparently my chemistry blasts the poor darling into oblivion. The scent is definitely a good one for hot weather, if it works for you. I recommend you invest in a sample and try before buying. I expect if this works for you, it will work in a memorable and very pleasing way.

Am i getting something gamey in the base- maybe civet? Someone mentioned musk. Definitely ripe. I was enchanted by the top notes of this, but it's tinged obscene after several hours.

I'm not sure how iris is supposed to smell like, and based on reviews, this isn't quite an iris perfume. The most prominent notes to me are orange and tuberose. More orange in the EdT than the EdP.
This is one of the rare cases when i like the EdT more. It's fresher, softer, brighter, very natural smelling. The EdP is heavier and it smells slightly synthetic to me compared to the EdT. I do like the EdP as well, just not quite as much. There's something in the drydown that makes me go "meh", maybe it's the oakmoss and patchouli combo? For everyday use, the EdT is perfect.

I bought it because it smelled amazing on someone I used to work with. I didn't have the same luck, but it made a great bathroom deodorizer!

The EDP smells like powdery iris and tuberrose but also balmy neroli that is not listed. Moderation in sillage, I'm not sure about the longevity. It almost reminds me of a new car smell. I like it!!

First of all, english is not my first language, and I think I cant review this as good as like to ;)

I just got sample of this today (edp). I Ihad high expectations for this. But at the beginnig it was letdown.
Now I have wear this a few hour, and its getting better all the time :) I just want to sniff it all the time.
I think its gentle, beautiful, feminine, sensitive...

But I have to say, that I hope it would have more sillage and lasting power. Otherwise than most of people here says :o
Its very very close to my skin. Maybe its just me and my skin.

I would buy this, if it was cheaper. Now its just too expensive for me. So I'm going to buy samples for now and then.

it's a lovely perfume, but not for me. i liked it at first, but after it dried it was a little too cloying to me. very white flowerish and powdery. while i loved the powdery part of it, the big tuberose and what seems like other white flower notes were a little bit too much for me. it actually got stronger on me as it dried. nice for the right person. it lasted about 4 hrs on me. my sample will be enough.

The EDP is a warm, complex, and heady creation that really impresses me with its elegance and character. I'm new to iris perfumes so my basis for comparison is non-existent, but I had expected it to be a big powder bomb at some stages, which thankfully it was not. Gently powdery and very beautiful. The white florals (tuberose, ylang-ylang and orange blossom) are prominant throughout. The dry down is a voluptuous, earthy mixture of amber, vanilla, and cedar--I couldn't find the patchouli or oakmoss there--which lingers for many hours. Wearability is great; I would wear this day or night as long as I applied with a light hand. Long wearing, 12 hours and up on me. This is going on my wish list. Love it!

I have only the body lotion which I apply after a shower and its waftiness and freshness is soft and divine especially in warm weather. I haven't smelt the EDP or other versions but now I will find them and see if they are just as gorgeous. The body lotion has the fresh iris, a touch of citrus, something like cool lime with a breeze, a subtle background of gardenia and a gentle whisper of tuberose. very classy and suitable for all occasions. a man would smell outrageously edible in this too.

This was not what I was expecting. Iris Nobile I had hoped to be a more luminous version of Hiris, an iris scent with a little more kick. This however has entirely too much.
My first thought was 'What is this white floral monstrosity??' It's not actually a monstrosity of course, but it is certainly not what I would call an iris scent. I got citrus and anise in the opening then tuberose and orange blossom and they overpower everything else.
It slowly grows gentler, but never do I feel any powder or iris. Very nice projection and the staying power is doing very well, which is apparently very good for this line of scents. Not what I wanted at all.

Got EDT and EDP, a present. They smelled a lot like each other on me, musky and flowery, but the flowers weren't 100% the same. And all's good about it, but it is not my scent, not my scent at all.

Um. Okay all I can say is gun cleaner, it smells like gun cleaner and old lady hair spray(aqua net). Sorry this is not for me.

I have the EDP and wow this is so amazing. I had a sample years ago and remembered loving it so I recently bought one and its just as amazing as I remember. I can't get over though how identical it is to Britney's Curious, I have both and can't tell them apart. One of my top favs for sure. I am gonna put this away and wear it for spring.

The EDP is citrusy iris, super!

My first review was on the edt. I just sampled the edp and now I understand. The EDP is warm, comfy, floral, and spicy while I the EDT is a bit generic.

This fragrance is quite the chameleon on me- each time I wear it, it smells differently- unusual for me-

On first impression, the opening citrus notes seemed very dominant and bracing, placing it firmly in the unisex category- completely drowning out the iris, unfortunately-

At times, the heart is off-puttingly indolic- but not always-

Orange blossom becomes prominent in the base, and I find this to be the most pleasant phase- I smell musk too, although this note is not listed here- however, the fragrance is categorized as a floral woody musk...

The warmer I am, the better it smells- which I've noticed often happens to me with orange blossom notes-


I'm guessing that my sample is the original rather than the reformulated version, which is supposed to be heavier on the iris and lighter on the citrus-

Decent sillage and longevity- 10+ hours is pretty good in my book-

Opening is disapponting with a very spicy bergamot-mandarin note, but fortunately fades away quickly, then earthy soapy iris with amber at the background comes along, but this phase also fades away quickly (unfortunately this time), after this point it is a very close to skin scent, and you can barely feel it :(( I don't get the anise and the other florals, it is a 7 out of 10, if it comes to iris I find infusion d'iris more appealing..

I am a female in my early 20's, and this is a very elegant perfume to wear amidst a sea of tween perfumes. There were days when I absolutely loved how beautiful it smelled on me, and then there were days when, as another reviewer said, the ylang ylang made me nauseous. I very much liked the creamy drydown, but overall this fragrance is too sweet for me to wear everyday. I would have to be in a particular mood to be extra, extra girly. I bought the bottle, then returned it and opted to get a few samples of it for when I do feel in the mood.

I prefer Colonia, and also have Mirto di Panarea, as they are much lighter for me.

The following review is reffering to the E. d. P.

Elegant and well balanced a classical luminous fragrance more than an "avant garde" creation. Though iris is the main theme, many other ingredients are involved like Bulgarian rose and jasmine (in the opening) a gentle touch of peach even though not declared in the piramid above, noticeable especially during the dry down while it turns into a lovely powdery fragrance. Personally I prefer even a little more invention - when possible - BUT I see that the especially good ingredients here employed make the charming fragrance that it is and ingredients make always a difference! Good sillage, it reminds me the vintage Paco Rabanne E. de Calandre....but probably mine is just a fade memory. Very good persistence, even better than I thought. Whenever real iris is involved prices are always looking towards the sky... so if you are sure to leave it where it is, at least, think about a gentle introduction because it worth. I cannot suggest when to use it, I've tried it twice during the last three days (february) and I think it could be right for winter, probably also for the middle seasons, but I can't say without "evidences". Very good - in a different but interesting manner - either on a male skin or a female; on me it's perfect (another temptation!) but...every skin speaks a different language.
Another way to "do" perfumery. Definitely.

This has a very beautiful and showy opening but I wish it lasted longer on my skin. I actually feel I could overlook that as while it does last it smells great.

It dries down to something pleasant but not amazing. This for me is all about the start. There is also a little soapy action going on which I don't mind as it is fairly subtle.

A nicely done perfume and well worth a try for any Iris lovers!

Despite being labelled a feminine fragrance, there is little doubt in my mind that this can easily be worn by either sex. The opening few minutes are perhaps the only indicator of it being a feminine scent, with the dense floral accord providing a rich and exotic beginning. Despite its name, the Iris content is never dominant, it merely remains as a constant throughout the lifespan of the fragrance, and its presence gives it a wonderfully natural impetus. The drydown is simply sublime, a light, powdered finish, garnished with high grade vanilla. It has a subtle and suprisingly long existence on my skin, maintaining the delightful blend of light accords that it worked so effortlessly to achieve. This would be ideal for clement days in Spring and Autumn, when the heat is less of a factor. Along with Colonia, Acqua di Parma have produced another meisterwerk with Iris Nobile.

Rating: 4/5 Excellent

This review is for the EDP.
This is a nice Iris scent. I'm surprised there's this many notes because it's actually a pretty simple Iris scent to my nose anyway. (I do detect the cedar though, adds to the earthy natural smell of this)
It's powdery and slightly sweet as Iris should be. Very convincing flower scent, very natural- like I simply rubbed flowers on myself. Like picking flowers after it had rain perfume. Sometimes I feel it's too soft but if I tried to cover this up with another perfume it will not let me ;] It's close to the skin in a way that is very comforting and snuggly. It's the pleasure of having naturally beautiful scented skin.
*thanks to melbritt24 for the sample :]

I need to do another review on Iris Nobile edp! Because believe it or not, it went from a kind-of-dislike to.. a love! I've noticed my nose has started to tolerate irisses a lot more lately than at the beginning, and I also do think... It's probably the weather. I've smelled this in warm weather, but combined with sun and sweat this smells a bit odd and as I said earlier, mediterranian-bathroom-ish. But now in wintertime, it really blossoms on my skin! It's hard too describe what it is all about besides the iris, but I really dig the warm woody edge it has to it (and cedar always seems to smell musky on me!). Fresh, warm, powdery, floraly, woody, elegant, it has it all! Very very nice (for winter)!

This is an absolutely lovely fragrance, which happily straddles two of my favorite genres, animalic chypre and white floral. Imagine Songes with a drop of Femme and you have this (EDP). I don't, however, detect a significant Iris note. I do get it in the mid phase, reminding me of the Iris in Ferre and others.
This is a beautiful, rich and elegant perfume but it isn't remarkable or strange. It is sexy, though and I would be happy to receive a bottle of this for Christmas!!

I like EDT, it's light, crispy, perfect for summer, EDP smelled like different perfume alltogether.
I also have Iris Nobile body creme, which I tend to use even more than EDT. Body creme gives me feeling,besides moisturizing so well, that my skin smells naturally so beautiful, it's like my own skin scent. It makes me feel wealthy.
I would use light hand with Iris Nobile, it can easily overwhelm you (and others around you).

Never before have I encountered the enchanting world of iris in this way. The flowers are profoundly beautiful to look at but due to their lack of a noticeable aroma they have failed to engage me... until now.

Iris Nobile is hauntingly different to any other perfume I have ever smelled. This perfume makes a statement. An idealized bare-bones declaration about the humbling beauty of iris.

It's deliberate, quirky, abstract and eloquent.

I place Iris Nobile among other lofty single flower tributes like Diorissimo's stirring homage to lily-of-the-valley, and Guerlain's moving Meteorites honoring the intangible spirit of violet.

Interestingly the heady notes of tuberose and orange blossom are calm and composed on my skin. Conceptual iris leads throughout the entire pilgrimage.

The gardenia note cleverly carries the whole composition. On the skin it morphs into what my nose perceives to be an earthy iris sensation.

My fondness for Iris Nobile grows each wear. I am slightly infatuated with it to be honest. Actually, consider me officially besotted.

I, just this past weekend, received carded spray samples of BOTH the Iris Nobile EDP and the EDT *bows deeply to ElenaLondon*...and here are the differences (as shown on the cards) between the two:

EDT: "An elegant floral fragrance-transparent, fresh and crystalline: IRIS, STAR ANISE, ORANGE BLOSSOM and AMBRETTE CRYSTALS."

EDP: "An intense floral fragrance-sensual, sophisticated and long lasting: IRIS/ORRIS, YLANG YLANG, PATCHOULI, VANILLA and OAK MUSK."

To me (at "firsniff") the EDP is definitely richer, thicker and more heady, sexy and deep...while the EDT (while remaining a "true" iris scent) is sharper, more "active" or energetic and spicier (after it dries down). I shall review BOTH of these "Ladies" (separately) VERY soon...

I do believe that the "for HER" AdP scents are actually more "me" than some of the men's releases are: (Cipresso di Toscano excluded) Iris Nobile EDP and Magnolia Nobile EDP, for example, are both well-constructed clean but complex florals with a touch of mystery and exotic spices, and marvelous dry downs that LAST!! My skin normally DEVOURS flowers like magnolia (or sours them!) but here they are amazing and long lasting (in either concentration)!

Kudos to Acqua di Parma! Your perfumes are as wonderful as your Colonias...maybe better! *winks*

VERy true about the couture couture similarities!!!

Very strong gardenia as it dries down. I was surprised when I discovered that but I can see other reviewers here also detect the gardenia. Lovely top notes but then come to the "gardenia" stage and the scent isn't so lovely any nore. The opening reminds of Couture Couture.

A strong and tenacious Orange Blossoms and Tuberose fragrance laying on a Gardenia base. The Iris in this composition it's just a side note that shows up in the middle phase but it's never dominating and remarks its presence with a barely perceptible voice. A well crafted EDP but somehow less, and no match for Iris Bleu Girs, Iris Silver Mist, Iris 39 or Iris De Nuit.

Lovely but absolutely mislabelled and a bit (just a bit) stereotyped.

Rating: 6.5-7/10

This one is a nice scent but it's nothing for me. If you are into Iris, then this is a good choice.

Strong sweet scent of giant Iris. Quite sweet on me. An anise note which sometimes comes forth. The cedar note comes out only eventually. Orange blossom comes out more in humidity. Superbly blended. Certainly noble.

To prominent Ylang note for my taste. It made me a bit nauseous. I dont like white flowers in a perfume coz they always makes me woosy. Its a very strong perfume also so try before you buy

Iris Nobile EdP - Makes me feel like a really rich girl. This one is a favourite. Deep, sensual and very woman-ish. I love all the notes in it and a really like the basenote with amber and vanilla. Longlasting - on my skin 6-7 hours. This one is exspensive - and I tried Burberry London EdP - which I find to be really similar but a little bit lighter than this gorgeous one. Iris Nobile is worth every penny in my opinion.

Härliga Iris Nobile EdP. Får mig att känna mig riktigt rik och flärdig. Djup sensuell och superkvinnlig doft som sitter i många timmar på huden - på mig mellan 6-7 timmar. Detta är en "dyring" och jag har även provat Burberry London EdP - som jag tycker är ganska lik denna - lite mjukare, liten aning blekare men härlig. Iris Nobile är dyr men värd pengarna, tycker jag

This is one of those scents that could use a separate listing for each - the EDP and EDT. They are very different, IMO.
I tried the EDP first, and it IS deep and rich. It's funny, though - at first, it seemed pure spun sweet powder-air. I had to wear it for a few days before I got a deep damp-earth vibe. Iris Nobile strikes me as a stunning, wintry, glowing-without-heat composition that manages to be earthy and ethereal at the same time. It is 'sweet', but not in an edible way at all.
As for the EDT, the image is of a grove of birches at the edge of a meadow in early spring. A human man is trying to teach a nymph how to make a fire. She copies his movements, but instead of sparks, she creates sparkling crocuses and snowdrops. The EDT also is sweet, but younger, more optimistic and wetter.
Both absolutely gorgeous, and well worth a sample, if not more.

Iris nobile (edp) is definitely very mediterranean. Kind of creamy but fresh, very strong... It really reminds me of organic olive soap! The way the 'bagno' (bathroom) would smell in a lovely italian villa. I think it's nice for 50+ women to smell interesting and elegant, but not for me. I absolutely don't hate it, but I don't really like it either. I think I would prefer it as a candle though.

EDIT: sometimes I really don't understand myself! Why did I make that remark on the 50+? It doesn't make any sense. I'm still on the mediterranean bathroomcandle opinion though, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to smell it on a 20 year old too (still not on me!).

I LOVE the Acqua de Parma scents, from the unisex cologne that both my parents wear, to the new(er), floral notes of Iris Nobile, it lasts, it's distinctive, it's a great little scent, both as the EDP and as a room candle. Excellent Stuff.

Bottle worthy for me. There is a soapy element that I like and dislike at the sametime. Yet I can't help to think ooooh spring breeze in my freshly lilac washed hair. I like that!THANK YOU TRAX.

I've been sniffing all the iris-centric perfumes that I can get my nose on and happened upon a sample of Acqua di Parma IRIS NOBILE. Wow, I'm impressed. I may even be in love. Part of my surprise no doubt is due to the sheer fact that this is a perfume (edp, actually), not a cologne. Somehow I had been laboring under the misconception that a house called "Acqua di Parma" only traded in colognes, or watery "eaux". Not so, I am happy to have discovered!

IRIS NOBILE is a thick and rich, complex and layered iris perfume with a fantastically fine woody-iris drydown. I have to say that, next to this, Prada INFUSION D'IRIS does seem pretty boring--as some perfumistas have lamented. (Of course, that's fine with me, since if some did not like it I would never have acquired my big, beautiful bottle in a swap!)

This composition is closer to HIRIS, although it's true that the carroty, earthy facet of IRIS NOBILE is much less prominent. The anise adds thickness and depth. I do believe that this is a noble iris perfume, one of the best around. The quality is top-notch (yes, I'd compare it to Frederic Malle), and this composition is completely unisex. Iris lovers: do not neglect to give this gem a sniff!

************************
Addendum: having now glimpsed at The Guide, I have "learned" that, against all olfactory evidence, IRIS NOBILE is *not* an iris but a gardenia perfume! Whatever. (Perhaps chocolate smells like lobster, too...)

The first half hour of Iris Nobile EDP was all about impressions for me.

Dark soil, chopped root vegetables, dill weeds, earthworms, feet, pepper, the smell of steel shovel turning earth in the cold morning (all good). And then, an organic metallic smell, like blood and saliva (bad *bad* BAD!).

Thankfully this transforms itself into a cold, inorganic metallic base to the spicy powdery iris arising out of the ashes.

From here on in, it is all beauty and nobility. Cool, intoxicating, perfectly balanced, a little spicy, a little salty, a little floral, impossible to describe accurately. Very much worth trying.

The last adp i sampled had this persistent lemon note which ruined a beautiful composition... thankfully iris nobile does not contain a heavy citrus note. It's subtle, powdery and oh so pretty. Would be wearable at work as well.

Yes!!!
I could trade half of my perfume wardrobe for a bottle of EDP, so much so I am making evil plans how to obtain one in a month... Damn the economic rundown!
Anyway, to be helpful here- I can describe the EDP as a very soft and rich scent, very much creamy and fresh at once, round and full of vibe! I prefer the EDP to the EDT, as the latter is a little stripped down in a way, but it is probably a good choice for the hot weather. Imagine Shalimar without the vanilla and a little more fresh and mature, that's how it sounds to me. I think it is what the name promises- Iris Nobile! I LOVE it as well!

YES! Yes,yes,yes,yes,yes!!!! This is IT!

I found my signature-scent at last.

(I'm talking about the EDT by the way..)

First I smelled it on paper and it was love at first sniff!
I instantly knew this would match my chemistry, so I bought it without even trying it on my wrist.
When I came home I sprayed it on me and here I am...just being happy...

This is such a sophisticated scent without being bold. This is a nobile one indeed...no 'nouveau riche' here...

Each note invites the other notes to linger...:"Too fresh? Here's a little powder.." "Too warm? Here 's some refreshment"
Just as it comes and goes....

It's a journey through scents I'm having, wearing this one.

LOVE IT!

Be sure to try both the EDP & EDT before you decide to purchase. Because these 2 are completley different fragrances. The EDT is lame and very light. While the EDP is a real magical stunner! So get the EDP - it's the only way to go with IRIS NOBILE! ;)

I just love this scent of Iris. I have tried the EDT and Iam willing to try this fall the EDP.

The EdP is like a child of Faubourg and Allure. Herbal, dry, but gentle and smooth at the same time. The opening notes are very strong, but it nicely settles down to a close-to-the-skin-scent.

I had high expectations. The noble Iris didn't let me down: Who could turn down a classy, simplified beauty? I felt as if I were metamorphing into a real flower during the first minutes. :)

Such a downright scent stripped off of any unnecessary distractions. Very well done. In its sophistication Iris Nobile doesn't suit everybody (including a tomboy like me).

I really like the subtle anis note. It's a peculiar note choice but seems to work well! The bottle is also very stylish, oozing dignity and prestige.

A very translucent, transparent iris flower.For such many notes it is a very simple, non complicated scent.Easy to wear, good for those who don`t like to wear perfumes but fell like thy are obliged to....and for hot climate, too.

This Iris smells like iris. The other iris fragrances I've tested usually remind me a sweet carrot. This one reminds ma an iris flower. Not bad at all, iris fans will like it )

This edp reminds me of when you first lay your eyes on someone you find to be extraordinary beautiful. You just can't get enough of looking at that person. You feel embarrased that you have that urge for it but still you need to study the looks of that person. And then quite soon it's suddenly all gone. The spell is broken. And the person that was "so incredibly beautiful" is just another ordinary person: good looking but nothing more. That is Iris Nobile edp to me. A crush for a few days but then nothing extraordinary: Just another well crafted fragrance. Very strong with delicious ingredients, a bit linear and then a bit monotone. A beauty, but a monotone beauty.

I got samples of both the Edt and Edp after I had a dream about this perfume. A very life-like dream where the name, Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile, clearly manifested itself. So, obviously I thought that "This is the one!" ;) It's not.

The Edt starts off with more citrus than the Edp and it's weaker with less staying-power. I much prefer the Edp and even though I don't feel like it's really something for me I have a suspicion that it might grow on me if I gave it the chance.
For such a gentle scent I find it to have remarkable staying-power. With gentle I mean that it's a soft, subtle perfume. It smells clean but also warm. Iris Nobile bemuses me, on the one hand it's soft and barely there, one the other hand it's got some serious flowers, the heady kind. In Iris Nobile they're mellowed down but they are still there making the scent quite... rich. Which might be why I still like it so much, even though it doesn't quite feel like my kind of thing.
I think this is a great scent for most occasions and believe I'll get back to it when the weather gets warmer.

hmm never smelled something from this brand but i would like to! the bottles look a bit like a nailpolish bottle xD

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. An iris based fragrance at its prettiest.

Iris Nobile is so very feminine and subtle. On the skin it becomes incredibly natural and soothing. This fragrance smells as expensive as it is worth, a delicate and interesting blend of notes which is in no way synthetic or loud.

I find that this fragrance could suit any age group, it's versatile and suitable for all occasions, all seasons.

The drydown is my favourite aspect of Iris Nobile, the powdery iris and vanilla blend is to die for. However, this fragrance is divine from beginning to end.

Lasting strength of this fragrance is excellent, well worth the money in my opinion. One of the prettiest florals I've ever come across and certainly worth all the rave reviews. Iris Nobile gets the thumbs up from me.

I like this perfume - whene a smell this perfume i imagen wonderful girl>>

This is a beautiful Iris but can't beat "Iris Poudre"

This is a perfume of utmost elegance. You cannot go wrong with it because it is never overwhelming and leaves you fresh. I own the Eau de Parfum, and I love it. It is long-lasting, thus perfect for even a warm day in spring. It underlines the strong personality of a modern mature woman.

I tried the EDT, which is fairly soft and lasted only a couple hours on my skin. The powdery iris is very much evident and it's carried through the fragrance by an almost minty citrus and sweet vanilla drydown. I found it an interesting fusion of the older turn-of-the-century classics I've tried and the more trendy new ones, but I don't know if I'd buy a whole bottle just yet. I'd like to try the EDP version first.

Great and very elegant fragrance. I cannot agree on a possible overdose of the Edp, it´s not that strong in my opinion and experience.

I have the EDT version and it`s lasting power is not so good, but it still smells very nice. Actually I can smell only the iris....
A soft and sophisticated scent for all ages.

I really wanted to like this, as I love Prada's Iris. However, on me this was very one note. And sadly that note smelled a lot like Jean Nate! Yikes. Not for me.

I honestly didn't know what I was getting into by buying this perfume. It's bold & mature & long lasting. It's a lovely scent.

Iris Nobile has very noble name. It's strong, powdery and smells of iris very much. At first, the top notes and heart notes smell just like the Latvian perfume Intrigue N.1 which I left at grandma's. That one was extremely powdery, a killer scent.
Iris Nobile is real retro scent. It can seem very old fashioned to light, sweet perfume lovers, anyway this one has character and very noble personality.
Then after hours it goes more into sweet side. It has chypre feeling to it too. I was like love it, like it... oh, I own 1 like that! It's worth the price, because lasting power and sillage also is very good (I tried EDP).
Bottle is nice, minimalistic with a taste.
I'd recommend it to strong mature women or for those who aren't afraid of strong personalities.

Perhaps it's the Ylang Ylang or the bergamot and tangerine, but this smells very aggressively perfume-y on my skin and very little like iris. Sort of comes across synthetic and shouting. Zoka is right: go easy, if this works for you. For me, it just doesn't work at all. Blame chemistry, I guess.

Intoxicating mix of tuberose, ylang-ylang, mimosa and a touch of iris. Very nice rounded fragrance, not for a shy person, but not quite so loud like Piguet Fracas. For me it's in the same category like Guerlain Mahora... I think it is better suited for a special occasion or evening wear.

What a lovely scent! It starts light, calm and powdery and there are charming jasmin and tuberose notes in the heart. I'm not very fond of tuberose in fragances because I don't find any scent to be similar to the real flower, but tuberose here is cozy and subtle, a scent very familiar to me (in Spain it's easy to smell the "galán de noche" -tuberose- in gardens in the evenings).

I don't know which one I have smelt (EDP or EDT) but I think it was EDT and I loved it. It's in my wishlist.

there is a big difference in the smell between edt and edp. edp is more sophisticated

I admire this perfume, it's one of the most beautiful perfumes based on iris, which is sweet, powdery, refined, so Nobile ;o)

I don't mind it being strong. I hope the anise is used lightly or you hardly smell it!

Be very careful with EDP it does not allow strong dose because it can kill surrounding people. EDT is a bit softer.

I would like to try the edp version, but will it mostly smell of anise? It's a note I'm not in love with.
