What does Iris Shot smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, while summer plays a smaller part. It leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure time. Although unisex, it reads more feminine than masculine to most voters.

It opens with French blackcurrant bud absolute, iris aldehyde, cardamom and pink pepper. Almond, orris concrete and carrot seed form the heart. Virginia cedar, ambroxan and vetiver then settle into a woody base. The overall impression is floral, sweet, powdery and creamy.
