What does Iris d'Orient smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it tends to stay close. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring not far behind. Evening, daily wear and leisure lead the occasions. More voters find it feminine than masculine, though a fair share read it as masculine.

It opens with pink pepper, Sicilian bergamot and blackcurrant, a lightly spicy, fruity start. In the heart, iris, May rose and violet leaf give a floral, green, powdery feel. The base of vanilla, Indian sandalwood, amber, cypriol and tonka bean turns it sweet, creamy and woody. Guerlain Angélique Noire and Giorgio Armani Armani Mania pour Femme have a close profile.
