What does Croatian Iris smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, neroli, blackcurrant and spices. In the heart, peach, violet, Iris pallida, Iris germanica and tobacco give the floral centre a fruity sweetness. The base brings Mysore sandalwood, Kashmiri musk, civet and oakmoss, adding a woody, animalic depth.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small, so this is only an early impression. It reads unisex rather than leaning to either side. Ensar Oud Iris Ghalia (Parfum) and Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
