What does Velvet Iris smell like?
It opens cool with juniper, mint, bitter orange and bergamot. In the heart, iris brings the powdery edge while caramel, dark chocolate, pear and raspberry pull it towards sweet and fruity. The base settles on vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, musk, vanilla and amber, soft and woody.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, winter is not far behind, and summer is the least chosen. Leisure, night out and evening are the most named occasions, with daily and business wear close behind. Voters lean feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Stendhal Elixir Blanc and Pierre Bourdon La Dame en Rose have a close profile.
