How to choose a fragrance for a first date

Brioni Iris Exquis is a Brioni fragrance released in 2025 as part of the Les Extraits de Parfum collection.
This unisex extrait de parfum was created for those who appreciate understated expression, impeccable materials and modern Italian elegance.
The name Iris Exquis perfectly captures the character of the release: at its heart is noble iris, presented not as powdery sweetness, but in a drier, spicier and more textured style.
For Brioni, a brand with more than seventy years of history and a reputation as a legend of Italian taste, this perfume continues the tradition of impeccable restraint.
It does not strive for a dramatic effect. The composition feels composed, clean and luxurious, gradually revealing new facets on the skin.
The fragrance was created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner and Michel Almairac, whose distinctive styles helped unite floral softness, spicy coolness and suede-like depth.
From an olfactory perspective, Iris Exquis belongs to the floral and spicy families, although its character extends well beyond these definitions.
The opening feels fresh and slightly sparkling, then the composition becomes softer, drier and more powdery-woody.
The iris here is neither fragile nor romantic: it takes on a confident, almost graphic character that works equally well in a feminine or masculine style.
The fragrance's distinctive mood comes from the interplay of spicy, citrus, floral, leathery and woody nuances.
As a result, Iris Exquis is easy to imagine in the wardrobe of someone who prefers quality fabrics, clean lines and details noticed only at close range.
The fragrance is suitable for the office, business meetings, city walks and relaxed evenings, especially in cool weather and during the transitional seasons.
The sillage of Brioni Iris Exquis is considered subtle: the fragrance stays close to the skin and does not seek to fill the entire space.
This makes it a convenient choice for situations where delicacy, personal comfort and a lack of intrusiveness matter.
Its close-to-the-skin character does not mean the scent is dull. At intimate range, the composition reveals more nuances and appears especially refined.
For application to the skin, the "walk into a cloud" method is suitable: it creates a soft, even aura without becoming overwhelming.
One or two sprays are enough for clothing, as fabric may hold the fragrance longer than skin.
Other concentrations of Iris Exquis are not listed in the available data, so comparing this release with Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum versions would be inaccurate.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes of Iris Exquis open with black pepper, verbena, and violet. The spicy accent of black pepper adds energy to the opening, while verbena brings a fresh citrus nuance.
Violet softens the opening and connects it to the main floral accord.
The heart of the composition features iris and carrot seeds. Iris creates a distinctive powdery floral base, while carrot seeds emphasize its dry, earthy, and slightly spicy character.
Patchouli and suede emerge in the base, creating a calm woody-leathery finish with a soft, tactile depth.
