Which Should You Buy?
Hiris is a divisive, melancholic iris, either a treasured masterpiece or an elusive disappointment. Some found it to be a calming, ethereal beauty, while others dismissed it as cold, weak, or even 'depression in a bottle'.
Apres l'Ondee is a profoundly poetic and divisive scent. Some find it a masterpiece of delicate melancholy, evocative of a bygone era. Others are left scratching their heads, or worse, smelling old lipstick or bathroom cleaner. Longevity is a common grievance, though many deem its fleeting nature part of its charm.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its subtle sillage and clean, refined character make Hiris ideal for office wear, where it's unlikely to offend. It's often described as a 'bed scent' or for 'chilling', boosting its casual appeal, but its delicate nature limits its impact for dates or formal events.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its soft sillage and delicate nature make it suitable for office and casual wear, while its romantic and classic aura fits well for dates. The fleeting longevity means it's not ideal for formal events requiring enduring presence, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.
