Real talk
A refined iris that skips the typical powdery sweetness in favor of something greener and more interesting. The Aleppo pine gives it an unexpected edge that sets it apart from standard iris.Alpine Iris
This is powdery done differently. Iris gives it that dusty, rooty undertone most 'clean musk' fragrances skip entirely. The aldehydes fizz, the violet whispers, and somehow the whole thing stays.Clair de Musc
