Iris Médicis
Iris Médicis by Parfums de Nicolaï is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with galbanum and carrot seed, moves into orris butter, orange blossom, neroli and violet and dries down to sandalwood, leather, vanilla and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
Heart
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
