The Story
Comme des Garçons Series 9: Flower - Iris is a bold, avant-garde take on iris that strips away the usual powdery sweetness. Instead, you get a cold, metallic iris root with a sharp green edge and a dry, woody base. It's challenging but rewarding, like walking through a rain-soaked garden in winter. A must-try for anyone who thinks they know iris.
