What do reviewers say about Orris Wakan and Iris de Syracuse?
Three notes. Orris, sandalwood, white musk. Most houses would pad that pyramid with bergamot and vanilla and call it a journey. Julien Rasquinet didn't.Orris Wakan
The powdery iris fan will find a lot to love here. Sweet, velvety, undeniably beautiful. Where some irises swing austere, this one leans warm, a velvet curtain, not a marble column.Iris de Syracuse
