What does Cèdre-Iris smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. Leisure, evening and business wear are almost evenly split. In character it sits between feminine and masculine.

As a whole it runs on a woody, resinous line: Virginia cedar, Atlas cedar and Texas cedar build the dry frame, while gaiac wood adds a smoky edge. Florentine iris absolute brings a soft, powdery floral touch, and benzoin adds a sweet, creamy warmth. Frankincense and myrrh round it out with spicy, resinous depth.
