“Iris and soft cashmere — the tactile sensation of quality fabric translated into scent.”
The take
What works
- ●Iris-cashmere wood combination is genuinely silky — the name is accurate
- ●Softer and more intimate than Gold; pairs well as a layering base
- ●Remarkable value for iris quality at this price point
Trade-offs
- ●Very soft sillage — close-skin wearers only
- ●Iris can fade quickly on drier skin types
