What does Iris de Gris smell like?

Mint and citrus give it a fresh start, while iris shows its powdery side softened by the green touch of pea. Woods, musk and ambroxan lay a clean, woody base beneath that freshness, with a faint spicy note running through.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, which suggests it falls between the two. Rochas Eau de Rochas Fraîche and Dior Cologne Royale have a close profile.
