FougèreWhat does Iris Noir smell like?
It opens with lavender, bitter almond and clary sage, which give it a green, spicy start. In the heart, tonka bean, leather and iris take over, and the floral powderiness gains a leathery edge. Vanilla, amber and blond woods settle the dry-down into a resinous, woody base with a soft sweetness. The overall character sits in the fougère family.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, so it suits anyone. Value for money is rated highly, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only indicative.
