If you’re seeking the hazy perfume mystique of iris Nirmal doesn’t quite offer that, it’s more the rootiness of iris that you’d find in Iris Silver Mist by Lutens, then the carrot enrches that aspect and violet lends a clear green floral that blends in a way you might call vegetable-like.
Heeley’s Iris de Nuit has similar notes, but Idn is totally different – far more poetic, gentle, inky and green in mood. Nirmal is more earthy and autumnal to my nose anyway.
The overall effect is rich, deep, woody and sweet but not at all sugary. Unlike a lot of niche perfumes, it smells like a proper perfume – it’s quite abstract, also sophisticated but not heavy or obvious.
I think this perfume would appeal to those who like a classic with contemporary twist. I can see men wearing it, but definitely women too.
I tend to go for lighter, green irises and the richness of this would only work for me in the deep of winter, but it’s lovely, and if you seek depth, elegance, and enjoy woody,rooty perfumes, this is absolutely worth testing. There’s something about it that makes me think of leather, suede and dark fruits – which is odd since it has none of those.
Sillage moderate, excellent longevity

Carrot! i don’t smell carrot! i smell allot of sweet amber blend, with cedar! no even iris or violets! Just sweet sweet sweet vanilla notes, & allot of amber, and cedar!
I have sniffed ALLOT of endless array of fragrances that smells like that. It’s not that impressive at all, rather than a repeated creation.
After around 10 minutes in, it changes dramatically! it goes quite sweet iris, and violets! and it become slightly nutty as well as the sweetness comes to calm and spread evenly on iris, violets and cedar. I never thought that it would turn quite impressive after that overly cloying sweet top note.

From little tester: the scent opens with sweet and powdery floral notes. The carrot note is fresh and nice.
Very pleasant and delicate, extremely springy, notes of violet and iris well perceptible. Sillage and short and moderate longevity.

This is a new love for me. That carrot top note is wonderful, very true to life but the carrot is fresh from the farmer’s market, not in a supermarket bag. The iris note is really iris root, not the flower, and it emerges from behind the carrot note slowly but clearly. The violet is soft but very much present, then the warmer and sweeter notes of the base appear. The progression is gentle and gradual — just lovely. This is a soft, gentle fragrance, but like wild violets, it is persistent! Four hours so far on my wrist, and still very perceptible. I think this is truly unisex and would be equally appealing on either a man or woman. A very beautiful fragrance for cooler weather; not frosty or spicy, just tranquil and serene, as its name suggests.

I don’t remember when I wrote this, just found it in my “random stuffs” folder.
This is perfect for those days when I crave a hit of austere carroty iris, the really cold, glassy and stark iris far removed from soft sweet powders. Those days when I crave that, but I don’t want to live with it for the next 6 hours!
A crisp carrot and iris opening with the slightly spicy prickly pepperiness of cedar, that almost but not quite borders on a sweaty-spice smell. Soon the carroty iris, shyly, begins to show its hints of sweetness, its powdery blush. Then violet joins hands with iris and waves carrot goodbye, the cedar smooths out, and I would swear that this scent contained suede. Not the heavy violet and suede of TF Violet Blonde, it does remind me a little of something else, this suede feeling note, but I can’t bring to mind what.
Over time this perfume moves from cold, crystalline, into sweeter, softer, more powdery though not heavily so. It retains a clarity throughout, while simultaneously gaining in warmth as it progresses. Brings to mind very clearly the image of an empty translucent green tinted bottle or jar, lying on its side so I am looking at the base. It resides on some lichen or moss spattered paving slabs at dawn, shortly after a rain shower and before the sun rises and daylight floods the scene. I like this.

From a tester vial (dabber):
This scent opens with sweet floral notes. On my skin it quickly dries down into a very soapy pungent smell, which unfortunately is the way ambroxan and cetalox smell on my skin. I don’t get any of the flowers anymore, or the “daim” or sweets, just a pungent nostril burning soapy smell. I can imagine this smells awesome to people with different skin chemistry though, the notes look like a great combination.

156) Cuir d’Italie
Oh mais quel iris, ce nez connait ses classiques. Que des notes éprouvées et classiques pour accompagner cette racine (on ne sait pas obtenir le parfum de la fleur). Carotte en ouverture, violette en coeur et puis en fond se situe l’originalité de cette création, un ambre résineux. Le rendu s’approche alors d’un parfum comme Cuir de Russie, ce cuir traité au goudron de bouleau, ou Cuir de Nacre d’Ann Gerard. C’est extrèmement doux, sensuel et surtout on ne s’en lasse pas.
Oh but what iris, this Nose knows his classics. Proven and classic notes to accompany this root (we can’t obtain perfume from the flower). Carrot in opening Violet in heart and then in the background is the originality of this work, a resinous amber. The rendering will then approach a perfume as Cuir de Russie, this leather treated with birch tar, or Cuir de Nacre from Ann Gerard. It is extremely soft, sensual and above all we don’t get tired of it.

This is a SUBLIME iris perfume.
I am obsessed with irises and always looking for the ideal in this “genre”.
I’ve tried many iris perfumes, some of them were extremely beautiful, but this one is a truly special one. It’s a mystery, but pure and unpretentious.
Basically it is just iris with a hint of violet, on a cedary/ambery base (2/3 of cedar, 1/4 of amber). Sounds simple? But oh, how beautiful it is.
Some iris interpretations are too earthy, some are too dry, some are too abstract, and almost all of them are very faint. Nirmal is the ultimate balance for me, on the height of perfection.
It is a BIG, fresh, bright flower, slightly wet with morning dew. What else may I crave for when I’m looking for an ideal iris scent?
What also makes it outstanding: it’s very, very strong. Two sprays last all day; the sillage is huge, I always get compliments when I wear Nirmal.
10/10
In 5 words: rare, fresh, powdery, unisex, (a little) sweet.

Opens with a nice carrot predominant note in the background you can smell the iris and violet, then, these notes are higher and leave behind the carrot note, from here you can smell a bit of sweetness, after about five or six hours start to fade and appears slightly sweet amber and cedar to stay until about 8 horas.Es strange and beautiful fragrance, with a hint of carrot weird, totally innovative, but it’s beautiful I’m love from the moment I tried.
