This was a blind buy, which I DO NOT regret. Iris Malikhan opens with a bold, almost confrontational burst—powdery and green—that can feel a bit strong at first spray. Fortunately, that intensity fades quickly, drying down into an incredibly refined composition where buttery iris, supple leather, and soft vanilla melt together with quiet confidence. What remains is elegant, modern, and deeply addictive, rewarding patience with a luxurious, well-balanced scent that feels far more polished than its initial impression.
