Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille d'Iris EDP
This one's a sublime, subtle iris, often likened to vintage make-up, with a gentle vanilla backdrop. It’s either a discreet masterpiece that lasts for ages on fabric, or a fleeting skin scent. A beautifully blended, artistic creation, if not always a powerhouse.
