About

Elegant Iris opens with an invigorating burst of green freshness and a subtle hint of red berries, quickly transitioning to its vibrant floral heart. Here, the star iris note is beautifully blended with the sweet, ethereal touch of freesia and the classic romance of rose and jasmine. The base is a gentle, comforting bed of woody notes and warm amber, adding a touch of understated sophistication to this bright composition. The overall impression is clean, slightly powdery, and remarkably uplifting.
