Which Should You Buy?
Velvet Iris is a divisive, opinionated iris that shuns powder in favour of green, earthy notes. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a fiercely loyal following among those seeking an atypical iris experience, though performance is often cited as a drawback.
Kalila is a fragrance of quiet confidence, a gentle woody-floral that carries itself with understated elegance. It's a splendid, creamy iris enveloped in a soft, dreamy incense cloud that whispers rather than shouts. Utterly chic and completely captivating.
