What do reviewers say about Iris Noir and A La Francaise?
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
A chypre for people who've moved past safe florals. Oakmoss, patchouli, and the kind of green that doesn't apologize for itself. The blackcurrant keeps it from feeling like a museum piece.A La Francaise
