Keiko Mecheri · 2007

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Keiko Mecheri Iris d'Argent pairs white iris and black iris with green notes and citrus notes, giving a fresh, powdery, lightly woody scent that leans towards spring and summer. Taken as a whole, iris leads: a floral, powdery base is brightened by citrus notes and cooled by green notes. The chypre accord adds a dry, woody frame that keeps the scent from turning sweet. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It is classed as a men's fragrance, yet most voters read it as feminine. Van Cleef & Arpels Gardénia Pétale and Parfums de Marly Galloway have a close profile.

Eau de Toilette

Hollister Free Wave for Him Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh, citrusy opening of ginger, pink pepper and finger lime on a woody base; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it is chosen mainly for leisure and daily wear; it reads masculine and modern. It opens with ginger, pink pepper and finger lime, spicy and bright. In the heart, oakmoss, white iris and algae bring an aquatic feel. Driftwood, cedarwood and ambergris leave a woody, slightly sweet base. Hugo Element and Dior Sauvage have a close profile.
