    Pros
    • Peony that doesn't scream wedding
    • Sits close enough for the office
    • Cleans up without screaming natural
    • Iris gives it real grown-up structure
    • Buchu is an unexpected surprise
    Cons
    • Won't project past arm's length
    • Not for someone wanting loud sillage
    • Unisex label doesn't always mean unisex performance
    • Too polite for evening wear
    • Quiet enough to need reapplication
