In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

White Iris by OrdioLab shifts traditional powdery iris into a rugged, resinous space. Released in 2024, this unisex blend cuts the sweetness of purple florals with bitter tarragon and a leathery, castoreum-infused core. It is built for collectors who want a cold, mineral floral that performs in freezing autumn wind.

Reviews →

Cuore by Grande opens with tart Clementine and dry saffron, quickly shifting into a dense heart of stewed plum, fig, and dark liquor. As the initial brightness settles, smoky incense and sticky toffee come forward. A heavy base of labdanum amber, tonka bean, and guaiac wood anchors the scent for chilly autumn evenings.
