What does Iris Tenue smell like?

The top notes are bergamot and ylang-ylang, and the heart holds hawthorn and iris. Musk, vanilla and tobacco form the base, softening and sweetening the scent. The floral, fruity and spicy accords sit alongside the fresh character, with a powdery feel running through it all.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding a room. Voters pick business use most often, followed by leisure and daily wear, with some votes for evening and sport. L'Erbolario Iris and La Rive Madame Isabelle have a close profile.
