What does Assaf Green Iris smell like?
Assaf Green Iris puts four sharp notes up front: bergamot, lemon, ginger and grapefruit. They are zesty and a little bitter, with ginger adding a warm bite. Caramel and orange blossom then bring a sweeter heart, burnt sugar beside a honeyed flower, which takes the edge off the tartness above it and makes the opening feel less severe.
Balsamic warmth defines the base, coming from amber and benzoin, while sandalwood adds creamy wood, musk softness and patchouli an earthy edge. The style is citrus above and balsamic-sweet below, with a clear step down from the sharp opening to the soft amber finish, and the caramel in the heart bridging the two.
Who is Assaf Green Iris for?
Zesty citrus first, then caramel sweetness and a balsamic base: that is the shape of the scent. It is a match for people who like a bright start but prefer to end warm and resinous, rather than staying with citrus the whole way through.
