What does Iris smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it suits anyone who wants something light and quiet. Most voters pick spring, with summer and fall close behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office come first, while evening plays a smaller part.

It opens with Chinese mandarin orange, Calabrian bergamot and flax blossom, which give it a fresh, green start. At the heart, blue iris, violet and May rose bring a floral, powdery character. White musk, teakwood and tonka bean settle underneath into a creamy, lightly sweet softness.
