What does Iris de Syracuse smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and business wear. Many voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.

Black pepper, mandarin orange and pear open it fresh, lightly spicy and fruity. In the heart, jasmine, heliotrope and orris concrete add a soft, powdery floral note. Patchouli lays a woody base, while vanilla and white musk sweeten it and leave a creamy finish. Boucheron Patchouli d'Angkor and Boucheron Vanille de Zanzibar have a close profile.
