Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tears of Iris
A masterfully powdery iris draped in creamy woods and soft musk, this is an effortlessly sophisticated scent for those who seek understated elegance and quiet confidence.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fleur de Santal
This one's a slow burner, blooming on skin and baffling some with its quiet opening. But give it time, because Fleur de Santal evolves into a creamy, comforting dream. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some but definitely a sophisticated skin scent for the patient.
