    What do reviewers say about Bas de Soie and Ombre de Hyacinth?

    Iris does powdery well. No hedging about it. The hyacinth keeps it from becoming a makeup compact, adds that cut-stem green underneath, a sharpness that prevents softness from curdling.Bas de Soie
    Some will call it soapy. Old-school. But that same quality, hyacinth's green, the cool aquatic lift, is confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. It's grooming, not performance.Ombre de Hyacinth
