What does Iris Carmin smell like?

Orris absolute and vanilla carry the soft, powdery, gourmand side. Benzoin, labdanum, frankincense and myrrh add a resinous warmth, while basil brings a spicy edge; neroli and orange blossom absolute lighten it slightly. Woody and smoky accents stay in the background beneath the sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone who likes sweet, resinous scents. Experimental Perfume Club Amber Iris and Omnia Profumi Ambra have a close profile.
