    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
    This is Guerlain making leather behave. Instead of sharp, Cuir Béluga wraps aldehydic brightness around immortelle and patchouli, then dissolves into vanilla and suede.Cuir Béluga
