Which Should You Buy?
This JCE creation is a masterful take on iris that divides opinions. While some rave about its ethereal beauty and natural feel, others are left wanting more in terms of projection and a true iris experience. It's a scent best experienced firsthand to see if it sings on your skin.
A divisive scent, many find this orange blossom and grapefruit bomb beautiful and clean, but for a good number, it's just a soapy disappointment that's far too basic for its frankly absurd price tag.
