My Way Parfum is a bold reimagining of the original fragrance, centered around a prominent, creamy iris that dominates the opening and lingers throughout. The scent begins with a sharp, green-bitter burst of iris — some describe it as damp earth, chalky powder, or even reminiscent of vintage lipstick — followed by a softening into a sweet, vanillic musk with creamy tuberose and citrus notes. While the initial intensity may feel synthetic or heavy to some, the drydown reveals a warm, delicate balance of white florals, orange blossom, and mild sweetness that makes it one of the most accessible versions in the My Way line. Longevity is moderate to strong, especially on clothing, with lasting power extending beyond 7 hours for many users, though some report it fading rapidly on the skin. The sillage is moderate to strong, with projections that linger well into the day, suitable for both spring and winter use. Some users find the scent leans too sweet or synthetic, while others celebrate it as a beautifully matured, elegant interpretation that elevates the original formula with depth and nuance.
