One of the Best Mother's Day Gift Ideas in Manhattan: ACQUA DI PARMA 2010 Iris Nobile Limited Edition Bottle

With the pride and sophistication of a beautiful woman, the iris confidently surrounds itself with its velvety scent.  The aristocratic and sensual chypre fragrance with a precious and limited edition bottle, etched with a gold leaf design inspired by the personality of one of the world’s most regal flowers.  A perfect gift for that special woman, for a friend or for a beloved mother.   

Flower of ancient beauty, a heraldic symbol of Florentine nobility, Iris, the Greek name for ‘rainbow’, has forever inspired the palettes of famous painters and the olfactory memory of celebrated master perfumers. 

Acqua di Parma was also seduced by its magic and in 2004 released the first feminine fragrance based on this iconic flower, teasing out its pronounced notes, fresh and not overly sweet, in an original and exclusive interpretation. 

The shadow of iris pervades the bouquet: petals and star anise in its crystalline head notes; definite tones of iris, unmistakable ylang-ylang and oak moss all shine through its warm, intense heart; iris rhizome, vanilla crystals and patchouli, strike sensual, deep chords. 
The limited edition bottle has been reinterpreted to pay tribute to the exceptional flower and symbol of royalty, with a gold leaf design perfectly reflecting the beauty of the elegant petals of the Iris Flower.   The outer packaging is encased in a royal purple cylindrical box with a champagne colored silk lining;  creating the most luxurious and regal of gifts.   

The 2010 Iris Nobile Limited Edition EDP 100ml spray will be available starting late February at Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and their respective websites. 
$165   100ml / 3.4oz EDP
