What does Iris de Nuit smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, then summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most common settings. Many voters read it as feminine, though it is sold as unisex.

Ambrette and angelica seed open with a spicy, green touch. In the heart, iris and violet bring a powdery softness, while carrot seed gives that floral side a dry, earthy edge. White cedar and ambergris settle into a woody base. Fragonard Belle de Paris and Puig Agua Lavanda Iris have a close profile.
