The iris-and-leather men's fragrance that reset what masculine powdery could mean
An unusual pairing for a men's release at the time, it puts powdery iris root next to cocoa and a soft leather, giving it a cold, slightly makeup-like opening that warms into something closer to suede. It is often cited as the fragrance that made powdery, non-sweet compositions acceptable in mainstream men's perfumery.
