To me, it opens with the trademark powdery iris and a supple leather. The orange is very faint, but definitely plays a supporting role. The opening has an almost boozy quality on the air.
Similar to the orange in the opening, the rose plays a supporting role in the drydown although with more presence. The iris stays present throughout and the sandalwood and "family friendly" oud slowly become more pronounced.
Lasts 12+ hours on skin and ages on clothes. I have a scarf I haven't worn since February that still has that vague iris/leather aroma if I bury my nose in it. Cherishing the bottle I have as Dior decided to axe this beauty.
