Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its potent sillage and remarkable longevity mean Iris 39 isn't best suited for confined office spaces, though its elegance makes it ideal for formal events. The unique blend of powdery iris and earthy patchouli works well for dates, offering both sophistication and intrigue. It can be worn casually but certainly makes a statement.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the warm spicy accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
