    Iris does one thing and it commits. No fruity detours, no gourmand warmth to soften the powder, just the clean, slightly rooty floral that smells like a memory you didn't know you had.Velvet Orchid
    Love Affair opens with clean white florals and tart blackcurrant, quickly joined by pink pepper's soft warmth and a hint of tea. Jasmine and rose settle into the heart.Love Affair
