Pink Iris
Pink Iris by Abel is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with sichuan pepper, green leaves and basil, moves into orris root, rose and jasmine and dries down to vanilla and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Green Leaves Crushed stems and fresh leaves. Snappy, sharp and outdoorsy.
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
Heart
- Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
