What does Poudre d'Iris smell like?

The notes read as one whole: iris and talcum set a powdery ground, while white rose and lily of the valley add a light, fresh floral touch. Lemon and orange blossom bring a citrus brightness, and heliotrope, vanilla and tonka bean sweeten the scent and pull it towards a creamy softness. Amber and musk stay in the background, extending the warmth. Synthetic and spicy tones appear among the accords, but the powdery, floral side clearly leads. It suits anyone, men and women alike, who wants something soft and clean.
