It’s got me feeling fierce. Unisex. Delicate, not intrusive, perfect for work. I hate cloves, but I don’t smell them here. It starts spicy, then the iris and woods come through. It’s peppery, green, warm, and powdery. I don’t know what to say about this beauty.

It’s a spicy iris with a woody base and a touch of suede. At first, the spices dominate, like paprika and pepper—very original and uncommon. Gradually, the iris emerges with hints of suede and wood, giving it the necessary masculine edge. The spices remain, but now supporting the iris, which becomes the star. It’s not like Dior Homme Intense. It smells like lipstick, but without that vanilla or chocolate note. In the end, the iris blends with the woods and fades away. The performance was surprisingly good; I can smell it all day at the office without issues. It’s unisex: the iris adds femininity, while the spices and woods bring masculinity. I like it more than I expected, even though it wasn’t my usual style. The notes are high quality and the evolution is coherent. I wouldn’t buy it, but it was a pleasant surprise.
