Our verdict on Hermessence Iris Ukiyoé: Favourite

This JCE creation is a masterful take on iris that divides opinions. While some rave about its ethereal beauty and natural feel, others are left wanting more in terms of projection and a true iris experience. It's a scent best experienced firsthand to see if it sings on your skin.

About

Iris Ukiyoé is a transparent and luminous floral, opening with a bright, zesty mandarin and hints of delicate rose. The heart unfolds into a fresh, dewy iris, expertly blended with orange blossom, avoiding any strong powdery or waxy notes. It’s an airy, clean composition, evoking the natural beauty of iris flowers in bloom, with a subtle aquatic undertone that keeps it light and sheer from start to finish.
