Given the trend
for top-loading fragrances – that is, attempting to lure customers with
attractive head-notes alone, it is very gratifying to come across a modern
perfume with a base as thoughtfully composed and enjoyable as Iris Nazarena’s.
Initially green,
even cucumbery, Ralf Schwieger’s creation quickly takes a fruity iris turn. Far
from the cold, metallic dampness of, say, Iris Silver Mist, the titular orris
note here is developed into a comfortingly sweet, powdery accord that has some
distinct apple/pear nuances. The woody facets of iris are then elaborated with
the wonderfully soapy, floral sandalwood tones of Osyrol while an ambrette
driven musk complex provides fruity continuity.
