Iris Palladium
Regular price $ 245.00Not 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.

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.
