What does iri_del smell like?

It reads as one whole rather than a sequence: iris aldehyde and orris concrete give a powdery, creamy floral heart, while ambrette seed and woody notes set it on an earthy footing. Bergamot keeps it light and fresh, and amber softens the overall texture. The accords also carry a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and doesn't crowd a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. More voters call it feminine than masculine, though a good share see it as masculine, which fits the unisex label. Aaron Terence Hughes Aura and Régalien Ceremony Flu have a close profile.
