Iris & powdery, : Après l’Ondée, 1906
Smell Iris & powdery on paper before it touches skin. The year to write is , the line is “Après l’Ondée, 1906,” and the figure is 1906. Do not lay two scents on the same wrist and call it a comparison. Hiris (1999–, France) is still the story a counter tells when this family needs a name.
Orris butter and violet-leaf dust — the most expensive quiet in perfume, lipstick, suede and cool powder.
