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
Salt and iris together sound odd until you try it. The mineral brightness softens into powdery warmth, and the whole thing stays close, intimate, not announced. A quiet confidence play.Bois d'Iris
