What does Iris Rose smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters rate it equally suitable for daily wear, leisure and business, with evening and night out further behind. Most call its character feminine, and some find it classic.

It opens with Bulgarian rose, violet leaf and orris absolute, fresh and powdery in feel. In the heart, orris butter, Bulgarian rose absolute and heliotrope make it creamier and softer. The base of patchouli, vanilla, blond woods, white musk and tonka bean sweetens it and settles it on a woody footing.
