What does Infusion d'Iris Absolue smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than as a top, heart and base. Iris sets a powdery, slightly green ground, and orange blossom adds a floral brightness to it. Bourbon vanilla, Siam benzoin and Venezuelan tonka bean sweeten the scent and give it a resinous, creamy warmth, while spicy and woody touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the wearer. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, business and leisure lead the occasions. Close to half of voters call it feminine. Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal and Diptyque Orphéon have a close profile.
