SmokyWhat does Iris Nazarena smell like?
Most voters pick fall and spring, and evening, night out and leisure are its leading occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so it leans neither way.
The top notes are star anise, iris, ambrette and juniper berry, which read fresh, green and powdery. In the heart, oud, rose and clove add a floral, spicy depth. Patchouli, vetiver and frankincense anchor the base in earthy, woody, smoky tones.
