What does Iris smell like?
The notes read as one whole rather than a sequence. Iris leads with its floral, powdery side, carrot seed adds an earthy, spicy edge, and frankincense brings a woody depth. Fresh and creamy accords soften the dryness, while the sweetness stays in the background.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling the room. It sits comfortably on anyone, and suits those who like a calm, dry floral character.
