A closer look at La Perla White Iris
White Iris is made by La Perla.
White Iris through the year
It is at its best in winter. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, spring, fall and summer.
Its style
The strongest accord is powdery (100%), followed by vanilla and almond. You will probably like it if you enjoy powdery and vanilla smells and notes like heliotrope and vanila. Less obvious notes include jasmine, orris and ambroxan.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €45, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than The House Of Oud Almond Harmony and Profumum Roma Dolce Acqua.
How long White Iris stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. Maison Alhambra Perseus and The House Of Oud Almond Harmony last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vanila and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
