Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris de Syracuse
This is a clean, graceful iris that's universally loved for its soft, powdery charm. It won't shout, but it will captivate with its gentle elegance, even if its presence is fleeting for some.

Our Verdict - Royal Orris
A divisive scent, described by some as 'pointless' and others as 'luxury'. It's all about that makeup bag iris-violet opening. If you can get past that initial powder puff, you'll find a clean, musky sophistication that promises quality, even if the performance fails to deliver for some.

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
