What does Lumière d'Iris smell like?

Bergamot, mandarin orange and neroli give the scent its citrus lift. Iris, orange blossom and Rosa centifolia form a floral, powdery core, while moss and cedarwood add a green, woody base and amber a light warmth. The overall impression is clean, bright and gently spiced.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind, and it leans towards leisure, work and everyday wear. Half of voters read it as feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent. Eau de Givenchy and The House of Oud The Time have a close profile.
