Yardley London Iris is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011. Iris opens with Citrus and Green, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Violet, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Yardley London's Iris carries a Favourite verdict, an iris-led wear.

This budget-friendly Iris is a surprisingly sophisticated, if fleeting, floral. It's divisive; some find it a gorgeous, cool iris, while others are baffled by a prominent 'lavender' note and its poor longevity. Definitely try before you buy, if you can find it.

About

Yardley Iris opens with a crisp, green citrus burst, quickly giving way to a cool, clean floral heart. Iris takes centre stage, airy and powdery, beautifully supported by delicate lily of the valley, a subtle whisper of rose, and soft violet. A gentle vanilla rounds out the base, adding a touch of understated warmth, but the overall impression remains fresh and ethereal.
