Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Metallique is properly divisive- you'll either get an 'icy' metallic vanilla or a 'rusty' nauseating mess. If your skin plays nice, it's a unique and sophisticated vanilla, clean but never boring. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
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.

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its unique, sophisticated vanilla makes it excellent for dates or casual outings. It's too distinctive for formal events and totally wrong for sport.

Occasions
Given its intense sillage and exceptional longevity, Iris might be too overpowering for an office setting. However, its warming, sensual nature and comforting sweetness are perfect for date nights or cosier formal events, whilst it's a bit too heavy for casual wear or sport.
