By the editors · 2 min readIris opens cool and starchy, a carrot-like rootiness that feels almost mineral against skin. The heart slips straight into creamy sandalwood whose lactonic butter smooths the iris powder, turning the accord into something like uncooked pastry dough still dusted with flour. White musk anchors the base with a clean, cotton-wool lift that keeps the woods from ever feeling heavy or opaque. On skin the iris dominates longest, its violet-tinged earthiness threading through the sandalwood so the two read as one pale, suede-soft plank. Projection stays polite, a skin-whisper that flares only when body heat rises; it thrives in spring air or an air-conditioned office.
