Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Goddess Eau de Parfum

A quiet powdery violet-and-iris over suede, patchouli and vanilla, Iris Goddess is the Floral Street one to reach for when you want a soft scent-bubble. Introspective and clean-girl elegant, cool-weather gentle, not sultry.

Our Verdict - Retrospect Parfum

This one's proper divisive, love it or hate it. Some reckon it's a classy, modern "your skin but better" scent with a juicy pear opening, while others detect pickles, rancid musk, or a dusty old makeup bag. Definitely one to try before you buy, it smells totally different depending on your skin chemistry.

Season and Occasion Fit

Iris Goddess Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Powdery violet and iris over warm suede, patchouli and black vanilla read as cool-weather comfort; reviewers position it as a quiet scent-bubble rather than a hot-weather wear.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Community calls it subtle, clean-girl and elegant with a soft scent bubble, which lands squarely in office and polished date territory; too refined for sport, not loud enough for formal.

Retrospect Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date Formal

Despite its 'Parfum' concentration, many users report it as a skin scent, making it suitable for office and casual wear. Its unique and sometimes polarising character means it might not suit every formal occasion, though some find it elegant enough. The fresh and clean aspects lend themselves well to casual and even light sport use.
