What does L'Instant de Guerlain Eau de Noël Iris Millésime smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also finds a place in daily and office wear. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters read it as feminine. It has been discontinued.

A citrus accord gives it a fresh edge, carried by the citrus plants. Iris, jasmine, magnolia and ylang-ylang build the floral side, while honey and amber add a sweet, spicy, oriental warmth. Musk softens the whole, leaving a powdery, creamy result.
