    Real talk

    This is powdery iris with an unexpected leather backbone. Some find the galbanum confrontational at first spray. But give it time. The base makes it personal, warm, close, yours alone.Iris Medicis Intense
    The aldehydes here aren't the shock-and-awe kind. They shimmer, they lift. And the iris? It's everywhere, not a cameo, not a supporting note. It's the whole point. Some call it soapy.Iris Poudre
