Which Should You Buy?
This one's a wild ride. Expect a polarising opening that settles into a luxurious, buttery iris and vanilla dream. If you can get past the initial green bitterness, you'll be rewarded with something truly special, but it's definitely not for everyone.
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.
