What do reviewers say about Orris Root and Iris Silver Mist?
No gimmicks here. Orris Root is a powder-lover's iris done with restraint, and clary sage and cedarwood keep it from floating away into abstraction. This is intimate, not performative.Orris Root
Iris Silver Mist is not a safe fragrance. The galbanum and clove give it an edge that can feel sharp on first encounter, but patience reveals a quiet, intellectual beauty underneath.Iris Silver Mist
