What do reviewers say about Kalahari and Iridium?
This one doesn't fill the room. It wants you close instead. Warm spice and smoky wood for someone who doesn't need to announce themselves, the cardamom-saffron opening is bold.Kalahari
Iris for people who find most iris too soft. The silvery ISO-E-Super spine cuts through the powdery sweetness, giving it an architectural quality that stays interesting on skin. Not loud.Iridium
