What does Iris & White Musk smell like?

The notes are not split into top, heart and base. Iris sets a powdery ground, musk brings it close to the skin in a soft, creamy way, and lily sweetens the floral side slightly. The overall feel is clean, calm and unadorned.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without turning heavy. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and lean towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Many voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Hermès Musc Pallida and Le Blanc Iris have a close profile.
