What does Iris Ukiyoé smell like?

The scent reads as one bright, citrusy whole. Mandarin orange adds a juicy, slightly fruity lift, orange blossom and rose keep the floral side gentle, and iris brings the powdery texture. A green touch sits quietly in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daytime, office and leisure wear lead the occasions. More voters call it feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Its profile is close to Prada Infusion de Mandarine and Dior Milly-la-Forêt.
