Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Silver Mist Eau de Parfum
This isn't a perfume for the faint of heart; it's a divisive masterpiece, lauded by some as artistic genius and dismissed by others as wholly unwearable. Expect unique, challenging facets and a love-it-or-hate-it reaction.
Statement
Our Verdict - Velvet Iris Eau de Parfum
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.
