What do reviewers say about Magnum Iris and Iris Altesse?
Magnum Iris threads the needle between cool and warm, finding a balance where the iris maintains its characteristic powdery stillness without reading as distant or overly abstract.Magnum Iris
The powdery iris either wins you over immediately or leaves you waiting for something to happen. That's the trade-off with Altesse: no fireworks, just an extraordinary amount of the thing it does.Iris Altesse
