What does Tears of Iris smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base: iris brings a powdery, creamy floral note, sandalwood gives it a woody footing, musk softens it, and angelica seed adds a green, spicy touch. The overall impression is fresh and green, with a light sweetness behind it.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. It gets the most votes as feminine, though it is a unisex fragrance. Hendley Perfumes Untitled and Cartier I: L'Heure Promise have a close profile.
