What do reviewers say about Iris Shot and Orris Root?
Iris Shot is not a typical iris fragrance. It leans more metallic and aldehydic than powdery, and the blackcurrant and cardamom create an unexpected electricity in the opening.Iris Shot
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
