What do reviewers say about The Iris Way and Bois d'Iris?
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
You won't find this fragrance across the room. It's built for proximity, for the moment someone leans in and asks. The iris never shouts, it unfolds. That quietness is the whole point.Bois d'Iris
