Which Should You Buy?
Bois d'Iris is a divisive, beautiful skin scent - either a love-at-first-sniff, quietly luxurious iris, or a frustratingly fleeting and hard-to-detect whisper. Don't expect beast-mode; this is for those who embrace subtlety.
This marine-floral creation is as divisive as its namesake, with some finding it a visionary take on aquatic notes and others put off by its pervasive melon and perceived synthetic accords. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a complex scent that demands attention.
