Here’s the thing: as gorgeous as the packaging for Santa Maria Novella is, and as much as I love collecting pretty bottles, once a get a whiff of a white musk accord, I can’t not smell it, and that’s what I get when I wear L’Iris.
The top notes are gorgeous – green and grassy, fresh, and slightly sweet.
But I was also reminded of Hiris by Hermes and if you want a reference Iris that smells fresh and outdoorsy, that one is easier to find.
