Which Should You Buy?
This is a polarising take on iris. Some find it a beautifully blended, creamy, and sophisticated floral; others recoil from what they perceive as a screechy, soapy mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
A solid, safe blind buy for anyone after a clean, fresh, and surprisingly complex scent on a budget. Don't expect groundbreaking originality, but for the price, it's an absolute steal that punches well above its weight.
