by Givenchy
Ysatis Iris by Givenchy is a rich, feminine floral with a bright, juicy opening dominated by black currant and mandarin orange, leading into a layered, elegantly blended core of iris, violet, jasmine, rose, and tuberose. The scent evolves into a deeply powdery, velvety dry-down with a soft vanilla and earthy patchouli presence, creating a modern classic that feels both vintage and contemporary. The fragrance is praised for its clarity and accuracy in capturing the essence of iris—fruity, slightly green, sweet, and floral—without being overly powdery or synthetic. It's best worn in cooler seasons, evening or special occasions, and is well-regarded for its moderate sillage and excellent longevity. While some find it mildly greasy or reminiscent of hair pomade, most agree it is refined, balanced, and deeply satisfying, with a confident, modern elegance that suits refined tastes.
