    What do reviewers say about Iris Dark and Un Bois Vanille?

    Iris in perfumery is a divide. People either crave that powdery, violet-adjacent elegance or they find it too much. Iris Dark sidesteps the argument entirely.Iris Dark
    Beeswax and black licorice are the tell. If those notes make you nervous, look elsewhere. This isn't vanilla as decoration. It's vanilla as fact, present and undeniable from opening to drydown.Un Bois Vanille
