What does Terre d'Iris smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and summer, with fall not far behind and winter rarely chosen. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most voted occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number find it masculine.

It opens with grapefruit, bergamot and bitter orange in a bright citrus burst. In the heart, orange blossom, rose and rosemary lend floral and green notes. The base of patchouli, orris butter and tree moss settles it into a woody, powdery, earthy finish. Xerjoff Irisss and Lorenzo Villoresi Yerbamate have a close profile.
