Tears Of Iris Eau de Parfum

Tears of Iris from Gucci is a refined, soft iris soliflore that captures the delicate, creamy, and powdery facets of the iris flower with a harmonious blend of woody and musky notes. It opens with a cool, slightly waxy, polished orris essence that feels elegant and deliberate—reminiscent of a vintage cosmetic compact or a silken powder puff. The fragrance gains warmth from sandalwood and a subtle, comforting musk that lingers gently in the drydown. While the scent is uncluttered and almost ethereal, with a balance of dewy freshness and soft depth, it is also notably linear and fleeting. Most wearers confirm it lasts only half a day, with sillage that remains intimate and faint, sometimes requiring a close sniff to detect. The experience is highly nostalgic for some, evoking memories of older personal care products, childhood warmth, or familiar courtship scents from past eras. Despite its delicate beauty and visual appeal, many find the price far too steep given this short lifespan and minimal complexity.
