Fragrance information:

Iris Prima Penhaligon's — a 2013 fragrance that needs no introduction. A feminine fragrance from the wood, musk, and floral families. It was created by perfumer Alberto Morillas. Part of the Ladies Fragrances collection, available as eau de parfum.

The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. A subtle fragrance: the longevity is low, which suits its gentle character. Country of origin — the United Kingdom, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The scent of Iris Prima unfolds as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Penhaligon's is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.

The accord architecture is built around these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Powdery, Leather and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Low suggests confident staying power.

In the top tier you detect invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot and Pink pepper.

When the opening settles you notice Iris and Jasmine holding a opulent floral direction.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Floral and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Balsamic, Leather, Gourmet and Wood.

Taken together Iris Prima sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible
2
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
