Xerjoff Irisss is a green, powdery floral, fresh and earthy in character, aimed at women but with enough woody restraint to appeal beyond that.

What does Irisss smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer next and winter further behind. Leisure, daytime, business and evening votes are spread almost evenly. Most call it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, carrot and carnation, which give it a fresh, lightly spicy start. In the heart, green violet, orris butter, jasmine and rose absolute build a powdery, creamy floral. The base of Somalian frankincense, musk, Haitian vetiver and cedarwood settles it onto a woody, earthy footing.
