What does Iris Nobile (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and it also works for evenings. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic.

It opens with star anise, bergamot and Sicilian mandarin orange, giving a fresh, lightly spicy brightness. In the heart, iris and ylang-ylang bring a floral, powdery side. The base of patchouli, vanilla and oakmoss settles into a woody, sweet, chypre finish.
