The coldest, most rooty iris: grey, carrot-like and faintly metallic, violet and musk deepening the chill. Austere and mineral, a challenging kind of beautiful.

The Considered Statement
Makes a statement worth asking about.

Iris Silver Mist keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 13th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.
