What does Iris Cendré smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, so it sits closer to cool and mild weather. Leisure, evening and business wear are rated about equally, and the feminine and masculine votes are nearly even.

Bergamot and tangerine open with a light citrus brightness. Iris and violet form a powdery, floral heart. In the base, tobacco, cistus and amber carry the scent into a leathery, spicy, smoky warmth, while the green and earthy sides keep the floral structure from turning soft. Zara Don't Follow and Rogue Tabac Vert have a close profile.
