Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris 39 EDP
Le Labo's Iris 39 is a divisive beast: some rave about its earthy, rooty iris, while others are put off by a heavy violet-patchouli combo. It's a proper chypre with an old-school feel that commands attention.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Via Verri EDT
This Etro offering is a short-lived whisper of elegance. It's beautiful, undeniably chic, and perfectly unisex, but its fleeting performance means it's more of a fleeting crush than a lasting love. A "love it or hate it" scent depending on your longevity expectations.

Season and Occasion Fit

Iris 39

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent sillage and remarkable longevity mean Iris 39 isn't best suited for confined office spaces, though its elegance makes it ideal for formal events. The unique blend of powdery iris and earthy patchouli works well for dates, offering both sophistication and intrigue. It can be worn casually but certainly makes a statement.

Via Verri

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its subtle sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, or casual settings where a light refreshment is desired. It lacks the projection and staying power for formal events or a memorable date.
