Secrets d'Essences - Iris Noir (Eau de Parfum)

The top notes of coriander and bergamot give a fresh, lightly spicy start. In the heart, patchouli and tonka bean come forward, turning the scent sweeter, woody and oriental. The base of ambrette seed and orris butter lays down a powdery, earthy finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It leans towards evening and nights out, though daily and office wear are possible. Around half of voters read it as feminine. Guerlain Héritage and Tom Ford White Patchouli have a close profile.
