What do reviewers say about Cherub and Iris 39?
This one surprised people. Rosewater-forward and candy-like, but there's an earthiness underneath that keeps it from floating away entirely. It's pretty, yes, but the hay and rhubarb give it weight.Cherub
Eight to ten hours of powdery declaration. Iris 39 doesn't whisper. It states. It's a stark, almost austere beauty that demands attention, not fleeting admiration.Iris 39
