What does 14 Iris Oriental / Iris Taizo smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. It is worn for evenings, leisure time and nights out, though some voters also wear it daily or at work. Those who call it feminine slightly outnumber those who call it masculine, but the masculine vote is substantial.

Guatemala cardamom opens with a spicy edge. The heart holds iris nectar, fig honey and oud, where the powdery floral side meets sweetness and a smoky, earthy woodiness. Amber and Mexican vanilla leave a warm, resinous finish. Cartier Oud & Ambre and Réminiscence Bois Étoilé / Oud have a close profile.
