What does Iris 39 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage both rate as good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it also wears comfortably in summer; it leans towards leisure time and evenings. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it pulls neither way.

The floral heart is built from iris, rose and violet, with ylang-ylang adding sweetness. Cardamom and ginger bring spice, while lime adds a fresh edge. Patchouli turns earthy, musk softens, and civet leaves an animal trace; a synthetic sheen runs through the whole.
