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 patchouli gets a pasting for performance and price, yet its refined scent earns a vocal following. A divisive blend of earthy and elegant, it's either a beautiful whisper or a phantom scent, depending on who you ask.
