What do reviewers say about Noir Aphrodisiaque and Iris Empire?
It smells like melted dark chocolate left to cool on marble, slightly bitter, warm, and nowhere near innocent. The iris adds a powdery softness that keeps it from becoming a dessert novelty.Noir Aphrodisiaque
This is the iris fragrance for someone who wants powder and dark. Not the powder of soap, but of pressed starch and velvet. The leather-chocolate drydown shifts it from floral into something with.Iris Empire
