What does Bois d'Iris smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily, leisure and business wear lead. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, which puts it somewhere in between.

Bergamot and geranium open it fresh and lightly green. In the heart, Iris pallida and narcissus add a floral, powdery softness. Cedarwood, vetiver and white musk dry it down onto a woody, earthy base.
