Which Should You Buy?
Le Labo's Iris 39 is a divisive beast: some rave about its earthy, rooty iris, while others are put off by a heavy violet-patchouli combo. It's a proper chypre with an old-school feel that commands attention.
This really isn't for everyone. Iris Rebelle is a peculiar blend of earthy, rooty iris with a spicy, clean freshness that some find revolting and others, utterly captivating. It's divisive but never dull.
