Description: The luxurious and exclusive Acqua di Parma brand proudly unveils its first perfume made especially for women: Iris Nobile, showcasing the iris, traditionally considered by Italians to be the noblest of blossoms. The iris was Catherine de Medici’s favourite flower, an essential ingredient in ‘The Queen’s Fragrance’. The rich and voluptuous scent of iris can be powdery, floral, or even out-and-out woodsy, and there lies the charm of this new creation, faithful to the celebrated Italian brand’s spirit and know-how. A delicate and precious perfume, fit for a queen.
