What does Iris smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mainly for daytime, work and leisure, with evening and night out playing a smaller part.

It opens with green leaves and citrus fruits for freshness. The heart brings together rose, lily of the valley, violet and iris in a floral bouquet, where the powdery tone becomes clearest. Vanilla at the base softens everything slightly. Prada Infusion d'Iris (Eau de Toilette) and Acqua del Garda Rosa Selvatica have a close profile.
