What does Iris silver mist smell like?

Iris powder sits at the centre, while green notes and carrot seed give it a crisp, earthy chill. Vetiver lays down a woody base, clove adds a touch of spice, and amber with musky notes softens the whole. The floral notes stay in the background and never weigh it down.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and evening, leisure, business and daily wear all draw similar votes. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads comfortably either way. Aedes de Venustas Iris Nazarena and Floris Vetiver (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
