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.
Note Breakdown
Encyclopedia Insights
Is this fragrance similar to other iris scents?+
No, it's quite different. Most iris fragrances are powdery and floral, but this one is green, metallic, and woody. It's more about the root than the flower.
How does it perform?+
It's an EDT with moderate longevity (around 5 hours) and soft sillage. It stays close to the skin, which is typical for Comme des Garçons.
What occasions is it best for?+
This is not a crowd-pleaser. It's best for creative or artistic settings where you want to stand out. Not ideal for romantic dates or formal events.
