Iris Palladium
Not your grandmother's iris, Iris Palladium by Les Eaux Primordiales is a silky-smooth approach to precious orris, with the creamiest sandalwood and a just-sweet-enough amber-vanilla finish. An updated classic with a touch of gourmand.
From Les Eaux Primordiales
IRIS PALLADIUM represents a rare combination of flower and precious metal. Opening notes of iris and cardamom reveal all the mystery and power of this blend. Like a silk scarf, this smooth fragrance diffuses warmth and sensuality over every inch of skin. A base of woody, vanilla-like sandalwood brings delicacy and emotion to this unique olfactory mechanism.
From Arnaud Poulain
I really wanted to highlight the classic collection in this new fragrance. For me, these somewhat autobiographical compositions evoke similar emotions to the happy, innocent memory of first love. Designed as a second skin, IRIS PALLADIUM is a bold blend of classicism and modernity.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Interesting fragrance. I purchased a sample a few months ago, tried then and liked it. I tried it again today, and I am enjoying it again. On a sample card, the purple flowers and sharp cardamom really stand out. But on my skin, the fragrance is much softer. The iris and violet lay down a creamy, powdery cushion for the lavender and cardamom to softly lay in. As the iris and violet begin to fade, the benzoin and vanilla begin to peak through, with the woods and amber supporting them softly. Because the cardamom, vanilla and woods are predominate through all or part of the fragrance, this is definitely a unisex scent. But in my humble opinion, I appreciate the balance of this fragrance. This is not a beast, but it does last and it has a very nice projection.
Very pretty. The iris is noticable without leaning grandma, love the smooth creaminess from the sandalwood. I agree with the other reviewer, very similar to gris charnel but I think I like this one more.
To my nose is in that Gris Charnel olfactory DNA.
Great iris woody scent
I got a sample. Unfortunately, it won't spritz so I have not been able to use it.
