What does Florentine Iris (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Though sold as a men's fragrance, voters read it as both feminine and masculine.

It smells fresh and citrusy, with violet, violet leaf and jasmine carrying the green, floral side. Woody and spicy touches stay in the background while iris and musk soften everything into a powdery, creamy finish. Gucci The Virgin Violet and L'Artisan Parfumeur Au Bord de l'Eau have a close profile.
