Which Should You Buy?
This almondy, powdery iris is a crowd-pleaser that evokes sophisticated Italian charm, often drawing comparisons to Prada's 'Infusion' line. While some find its performance fleeting, its smooth elegance is widely praised.
This one's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarising hit of waxy iris and earthy carrot seed, leading some to pure powdery heaven and others to a screeching 'grandma' scent or play-doh horror. Absolutely not a safe blind buy.
