What do reviewers say about Bukhara and Iris Nazarena?
The fragrance presents a powdery quality that may surprise those expecting something different. But that orris isn't incidental, it's the whole point.Bukhara
Iris Nazarena is for people who've learned that powder doesn't mean soft. The iris opens cool, mineral, almost cold, then the oud and leather arrive and don't apologize for it.Iris Nazarena
