Our verdict on Back to the Roots: Statement

This one is a divisive brew. A super green, woody iris that some will adore for its unique, almost vintage charm, while others will find it just a bit off or too astringent. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its moderate projection and green, clean profile make it suitable for a smart-casual office or daytime wear. However, its unusual character might not be universally appreciated in formal or intimate settings, and it's certainly not for the gym.

About

Imagine a walk through a damp, overgrown garden after the rain. Back to the Roots opens with a sharp, verdant hit of galbanum and petitgrain, softened by a ghostly touch of angelica. The heart reveals a powdery, earthy iris melded with a hint of spicy ginger and delicate violet tea, grounded by a woody base of smooth sandalwood and salty driftwood. It’s green, woody, and slightly anachronistic, like digging up forgotten roots.
