About This Perfume
Alexandria Fragrances Velvet Iris smells like soft lavender powder over pear, musky woods. It opens with lavender, moves into iris, pear and ambrette (musk mallow) and settles on vetiver and Virginia cedar. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This cologne is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
