CreamyWhat does Iris Poudre smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it leans towards daytime and office wear. Most see it as feminine, with some calling it classic.
Bergamot, orange and carnation open fresh with a light spice. In the heart, jasmine, magnolia, lily of the valley and aldehydes bring a floral, powdery air. The base of iris, vanilla, sandalwood and musk dries soft, sweet and woody. Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue (Eau de Parfum) and Jil Sander Style have a close profile.
