What does Iris Ghalia: Trifecta smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good; most pick fall and winter, and evening or a night out. On character, the masculine reading leads, though a fair number of voters find it feminine.

As a whole, iris, orris butter and violet give it a powdery floral face, set against the resinous woodiness of Indian, Vietnamese and Cambodian oud. Spices and carnation add warmth, while peach and blackcurrant bring a soft fruity edge. Civet, castoreum and musk lend a creamy, animal depth.
