    Real talk

    The aldehydes are the deciding factor. They lift this into something with a past, that clean, almost soapy edge above the tonka and wheat. Without them, it's just comforting.Tonkamande
    Iris is not trying to be anything other than itself. The iris stays present throughout, never buried by sweetness or projection stunts. This is your quiet, botanical iris.Iris
