    What do reviewers say about Iris Noir and Iris 39?

    Iris Noir has that powdery iris pull that people either crave or avoid. But here it's grounded by earthy patchouli and warmed by tonka bean, no airy florals, this one gets into your skin.Iris Noir
    Eight to ten hours of powdery declaration. Iris 39 doesn't whisper. It states. It's a stark, almost austere beauty that demands attention, not fleeting admiration.Iris 39
