How does it perform?
From 72 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

CreamyWhat does Iris Palladium (2015) smell like?
It opens with carrot seed, sage and bergamot, which give it a green, spicy freshness. In the heart, violet and Florentine iris take over and carry the powdery, creamy side. The base of labdanum, Australian sandalwood and patchouli leaves a warm, woody finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Voters read it as more feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. It has been discontinued. Roger & Gallet Open White and Parfums d'Elmar Amalaya share a close profile.
