Iris Royal

7.5

Hervé Gambs · 2018

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Hervé Gambs Iris Royal is a unisex fragrance suited to evenings and nights out, leaning towards autumn and winter, that pairs powdery iris with spice and resin for a warm, dry character. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with evening and night-out wear leading. Votes for masculine and feminine are level, so it doesn't belong clearly to either side. Italian iris, French saffron and Honduras styrax dominate, while Calabrian bergamot adds a citrus lift. Bourbon vanilla and Spanish labdanum bring a sweet, resinous warmth, and Texas cedar keeps it dry, woody and faintly leathery.
