What does Shalimar Millésime Iris smell like?

Rose and Iris pallida form a floral core, with bergamot lifting it slightly. Bourbon vanilla and white musk carry it into a creamy, powdery softness, while gourmand and spicy accords balance the sweetness and a smoky trace sits in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and few choose summer. It suits evenings and nights out best, and also works for leisure. Voters call it feminine and classic. Shalimar L'Essence and Gourmand Coquin have a close profile.
