Aqua di Parma, experienced in production of chic fragrances very popular in high society, has denoted its renaissance with, among other things, eau de toilette Iris Nobile. The new EDT has perfectly fit into the company of renowned fragrances such as Aqua di Parma Colonia (1916) and Profumo (1930), with relaunch of which Aqua di Parma has entered the new millennium and turned over a new sheet in its history.

Iris Nobile was created in 2004 by reputable master perfumers – Francoise Caron and Francis Kurkdjian. It was first created as eau de toilette. Classically elegant and feminine delicate floral fragrance is opposing the briskly-aromatic Italian style of the house; however, its moderate rhythm reveals the ambitions of beautiful floral fragrances of the past century.

Iris Nobile opens with luminous fresh citrusy notes of orange, mandarin and bergamot, followed by anise. The beauty of the iris flower is accentuated by the whole floral chorus of orange blossom, ylang-ylang, tuberose, mimosa and woodsy cedar nuance in the heart, among which the orange blossom is the most persistent companion. The floral bouquet only accompanies, and not at all overlays the beautiful iris solo – delicate-retro-romantic, with a trace of aery powder.

Eau de Parfum Iris Nobile was created in 2006. Besides the general resemblance, the fragrance has become deeper and more intensive, a bit darker and slightly sweeter. The citruses, so dominant in the original, have now been given a marginal role – the focus is on iris, and it has become more accentuated. Besides amber and vanilla, the base now includes oakmoss and patchouli that bring in a dramatic chypre note. EDT was launched as a summer fragrance, while EDP makes a great match to fur.

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.

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'd like to review this, but this is another perfume I can't smell... i.e, I apply, get a whiff (which I like) and then it disappears. I apply more, have another nice whiff, then bye bye scent... I don't know why I can't smell certain perfumes on myself, ah if only I actually paid attention in my chemistry class :-(

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.

Sweet iris powder.

I knew I wouldn't like it before I sprayed my wrist with the tester--I could never smell like this and be at ease....But even in my distaste for the sweet powdery floral type of fragrance like this (which reminds me more of a 19th century queen than a classy dame of 70 years ago), I can recognize that Iris Nobile is very well-made.

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 as 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.

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.
