Iris d'Argent

This fragrance smells like a cool, dry blend of earth and green florals. It leads with a bright splash of citruses before settling into a heart of black iris and white iris. The dry-down relies on earthy vetiver, dry cedar, and a touch of oakmoss, keeping the overall feel clean and woody rather than sweet.

The opening is bright and slightly sharp, dominated by a crisp citrus accord and green notes. Within an hour, these top notes recede to reveal a cold, earthy iris heart. The final dry-down on your skin is woody and mossy, leaving a quiet trail of cedar and vetiver.

You can expect moderate longevity of about 4 to 6 hours on skin. The citrus and floral elements soften quickly, while the woody cedar and vetiver base notes linger closest to the skin for the remaining duration. It lasts slightly longer when sprayed on clothing.
