Le Galion Iris is a fresh, green floral: bright citrus softened by a powdery, creamy iris, and it reads as a feminine perfume.

What does Iris (2014) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It suits daily wear, the office and leisure time, and is picked less often for evenings or nights out. Most voters find it feminine and classic.

Lemon and bergamot open bright and citrusy, while ambrette seed and green mimosa add a green lightness. In the heart, iris, lily and rose build a floral body, with galbanum keeping the green note going. The base of musk, amber and Atlas cedar finishes it woody and creamy. Casamorati Mefisto Gentiluomo and Rochas Eau de Rochas Fraîche have a close profile.
