What do reviewers say about The Iris Way and Bois d'Argent?
Most people expect iris to be sharp, medicinal. This one is soft, even creamy. The powdery quality dominates in the best way. It is for the person who does not need to announce themselves.The Iris Way
Bois d'Argent is restrained by design. The frankincense opening reads cool, almost clinical, before the myrrh and iris heart softens the picture. If you want a quiet statement, this delivers.Bois d'Argent
