Irisss

Our verdict on Irisss: Acquired

This is a serious, opulent iris, and it's not for everyone. While a consensus champion for iris devotees, those new to the note might find its earthy, rooty profile challenging. Prepare for true luxury, but consider a sample first - your wallet will thank you.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its high price tag and sophisticated, long-lasting aroma with moderate sillage make it better suited for intimate occasions, formal events, and dates rather than the office or casual wear. The elegant, slightly old-fashioned character aligns well with dressed-up settings.

About

Irisss opens with an earthy and slightly vegetal hit of carrot seeds and bergamot, quickly followed by a powdery, almost waxy iris that dominates the heart. Violet and a subtle carnation add a softly floral, vintage makeup-bag quality, while an undertone of cedar, vetiver, and incense grounds the whole composition. It's a clean, sophisticated take on iris, with a noticeable creamy powderiness.
