Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Eau de Parfum
This is a fiercely divisive powder bomb, a sweet iris that smells like luxury make-up or baby wipes depending on who you ask. Prepare for monstrous longevity and projection too - it’s not for shrinking violets.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Infusion d'Iris Absolue Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous take on iris, elevating it with warmth and sweetness, though some find it a touch heavy or surprisingly similar to its siblings. Its discontinued status stirs up strong feelings and prompts frantic searching.
