Iris Porcelana from Ex Nihilo, created in 2022 by Dalia Izem, is a clean, woody iris. Wood and flowers lead in equal measure, with a green edge and soft musk around them.

It opens with violet leaf, which gives a crisp, slightly cucumber-like green freshness. In the heart, iris brings its cool, powdery, almost lipstick-like softness, and rose adds a gentle floral warmth that rounds it out. The base is smooth and understated: cedar gives a dry, pencil-like wood, sandalwood a creamy softness and musk a clean, skin-like finish that keeps the iris close.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, and the trail is split between intimate and moderate, so it stays discreet. It is voted for spring and then autumn, and strongly for daytime. Worn by anyone, it suits the office, daytime meetings and anyone who prefers a refined, powdery scent that sits close to the skin.

Iris Porcelana — unisex fragrance by Ex Nihilo (released 2022). Top notes: Violet Leaf. Heart notes: Iris, Rose. Base notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Cedar. — Parfica open fragrance database
