Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a proper cinnamon storm, as Iris Fauve delivers a warm, spicy wallop. If you're after a delicate iris, you'll be disappointed, but if rich, enveloping amber with a hint of powdery mystique is your jam, you're in for a treat. Just don't expect it to stick around all day.
If you're seeking a sophisticated, amber-woody iris for cooler weather and can handle a slightly rough opening, this is a gem. It’s punching well above its weight for the price, especially if you miss a certain discontinued Guerlain.
