    What do reviewers say about Velvet Iris and Cuir Pampas?

    Dominique Ropion went for something different here. Instead of soft, makeup-adjacent iris, this one has teeth. The galbanum and mastic keep it sharp while the leather drydown saves the day.Velvet Iris
    The mate note is the gamble. Herbal, slightly bitter, nothing like the citrus or marine openings that have colonized modern perfumery. It divides people.Cuir Pampas
