Floral · Sweet · Gourmand
Guerlain Iris Ganache is a floral, gourmand unisex scent that opens with cinnamon, bergamot and white chocolate and deepens into iris and vanilla; it has been discontinued.
At the start, cinnamon's spice is balanced by bergamot's freshness, while white chocolate adds a creamy sweetness. In the heart, patchouli, iris and cedar come forward, bringing an earthy, powdery feel. The base of vanilla, white musk and amber softens everything and closes warm and sweet.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn, winter and spring, with summer a small minority. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, though it also gets votes for daytime and office wear. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.
