What do reviewers say about Material and Iris?
This is the fragrance for people who want to smell expensive without announcing it. The opening is confrontational in the best way, dense elemi, patchouli that lingers like wet earth, a green-earth.Material
The powdery iris drydown is the point. Everything before it, the bright opening, the violet heart, leads to that soft, velvety finish that stays close for hours.Iris
