Who will like it
The strongest accord is fruity (100%), followed by powdery and woody. You will probably like it if you enjoy fruity and powdery smells and notes like iris and cashmeran. Less obvious notes include bergamot, jasmine and vanilla. Perfume fans rate it 3.69 out of 5.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Tiffany & Co Intense and Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €77. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Tiffany & Co Intense and Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
Is Iris Violet long lasting?
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cashmeran and white musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
