What does Iris Pourpre smell like?

White iris and black iris form the backbone, with rose softening the floral side. Bergamot adds freshness, while the chypre accord leaves a dry depth underneath. The overall impression is fresh, powdery and lightly sweet, with fruity and spicy touches staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear and the office lead the occasions. It reads clearly feminine to most. Parfum d'Empire Eau Suave and Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin have a close profile.
