The Character and Concept of Pardes
ICONOfly Pardes is a unisex eau de parfum with an oriental and gourmand character.
This is a rich, multilayered composition for those who love expressive fragrances with a noticeable presence and an unusual blend of fruity, green, woody and balsamic nuances.
The fragrance was created by the French perfume house ICONOfly, whose history grew out of the worlds of glossy media, haute couture and visual culture.
The brand was founded in France in 2009 and gradually developed its own style, in which perfumery feels like a carefully conceived image — striking, bold and memorable.
How the Fragrance Unfolds
At the opening, Pardes Eau de Parfum impresses with a juicy fruity-green accord: the freshness of apple meets the tart facet of pomegranate, the floral transparency of grape blossom and the distinctive botanical nuance of mandrake.
As a result, the opening does not feel simple or sweet — it has coolness, a slight bitterness and an intriguing spiciness.
Then the composition becomes softer and deeper.
Dates and fig add a velvety fruity sweetness, henna highlights the dry green nuance, while walnut brings a warm, slightly creamy texture.
The result is a full-bodied fragrance: its gourmand nuances are balanced by natural and slightly mysterious accents.
Pardes was created by Alexandre Helwani. In the base, the composition takes on a noble resinous-woody depth: the dryness of cedar meets myrrh, oud and spikenard.
The finish is warm, rich and long-lasting, with the character of oriental perfumery and a beautiful gradual fade on the skin.
Sillage and Wearability
Pardes has a very strong sillage, so it unfolds best in cool weather, in the evening and in situations where a noticeable fragrance presence is appropriate.
It is well suited to a walk, a formal occasion, dinner or an atmospheric event when you want to emphasize your individuality and leave a striking impression.
As this is a rich eau de parfum, it is best to start with one or two sprays on the skin, for example on the wrists or neck.
One light application from a distance is enough for clothing: the woody-balsamic base can last especially long.
Its intensity depends on the temperature, skin type and fabric, so it is convenient to increase the dosage gradually.
Who Pardes Is For
Pardes is positioned as a unisex fragrance and unfolds with equal interest on women and men.
It will appeal to fans of fruity-woody compositions, oriental motifs, resinous bases and unconventional green accents.
This is not a quiet everyday perfume, but a distinctive olfactory image with noticeable energy and a rich development.
If you enjoy rich fragrances with fruity softness and dark woody depth, you may want to explore The Spirit of Dubai Majalis next.
It also carries an oriental mood and is a good choice for continuing your exploration of expressive fragrances with pronounced sillage.
