What do reviewers say about Velvet Iris and Iris Palladium?
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
This is the fragrance that gets called 'your scent' by people who can't name what it is. The powdery iris and warm sandalwood are the draw, intimate without being shy, cozy without being quiet.Iris Palladium
