Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Fauve
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.

Our Verdict - Étui Noir
A buttery, smoky leather and iris delight that's either a classy powerhouse or a screechy violet nightmare, depending on who you ask. It’s a definite try-before-you-buy, but for those it clicks with, it's a masterpiece.
