Ex Nihilo Iris Porcelana EDP

Description

Ex Nihilo Iris Porcelana Eau de Parfum is a modern, elegant take on classic iris pallida, created by perfumer Dalia Izem and released in 2022 as part of the brand's Initiale collection. Inspired by delicate French porcelain, it opens on green violet leaf before settling into a powdery iris-and-rose heart over a soft musk-sandalwood-cedar base: a quiet, intimate "second-skin" scent rather than a loud statement piece.

Performance

• Longevity: Mixed by design. Several reviewers report it fades to a close skin scent within a few hours, while others find it surprisingly long-lasting; expect roughly 4-7 hours depending on skin chemistry.
• Sillage: Intimate and close-to-skin. This is an understated, "second-skin" iris rather than a room-filler.
• Projection: Personal-space from the first hour onward.
