Santa Maria Novella L'Iris is a fresh, green floral that settles into a powdery, creamy softness, and it suits spring and everyday wear best.

What does L'Iris smell like?

Nepalese sichuan pepper, neroli and galbanum give it a sharp, green, slightly spicy opening. In the heart, champaca, jasmine sambac and geranium soften the floral side. The base of ambergris, musk and Florentine iris leaves a woody, powdery finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. It is unisex, though most voters read it as feminine. Nicolaï Iris Medicis / Iris Medicis Intense and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur have a close profile.
