“Iris and violet on leather — Rayhaan's quietest powerhouse, formal and overlooked.”
The take
What works
- ●Powdery iris over smooth leather
- ●Sandalwood, ambrette and oud give it a dark, polished base
- ●Holds on for a long evening
Trade-offs
- ●Powdery-iris character; not for fans of fresh scents
- ●More evening than office
