The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

How amazing it is that for such a ridiculous price you can stumble upon such a fragrance. Accidentally trying it, I realized that it has everything I like in perfumery, and not just in men's versions. Breaking it down into notes? Why, when you can just enjoy its sound. The composition is truly beautiful, and I would advise everyone to try it. It's quite modest and suitable for everyday wear, won't bother anyone, but will give its owner many pleasant moments

If you're looking for an affordable way to look and smell great at the office, then check out the new Iris & Tonka Bean. This is definitely one of the best options in the Cologne-Zation line and possibly among all budget perfumes from "L'Etoile"

The scent is very intelligent and refined. Here you'll feel iris, as if enveloped in a haze of woody notes, and the sweetness of tonka beans adds an interesting accent. It truly stands out from others, not overloaded with familiar notes like violets or powder. It's a fresh and expressive fragrance that definitely won't cause headaches for the most sensitive

AMAZING! The iris is simply stunning! A niche fragrance that can be found at such a price is a rarity. Woody and powdery notes combined with almond and heliotrope create an incredible bouquet. Spicy accents with coumarin add depth. I didn't expect something like this could be bought so cheaply!

This fragrance certainly lasts longer than many others, but it's so quiet, just a wallflower. I don't know, for this kind of money, I'd want something brighter and bolder, it lacks confidence. It's really, really quiet 😅
5/5

This smell, of course, doesn't give up. I sprayed it on my wrist at the store, washed my hands three times already, and it still doesn't go away. The iris is cold and dry, looks pretty good, maybe I'll end up buying it 🤷‍♀️

This fragrance, though the most modest in the collection, still delights with its iris that lasts quite a while. It stands out a bit, and tonka beans give it softness. But, damn, it's really too quiet, as if it's shy. Nevertheless, I'm sure there will be those who appreciate it
4/5

The fragrance is truly versatile, suitable for both men and women. It's calm and generally interesting for its price category, but unfortunately, it develops quite flatly. In the cold, it loses its individuality, becoming too monotonous. Powdery iris with tonka beans is clearly present, as is cardamom, but this isn't enough for a vivid impression
2/5

the scent is quite quiet and cool. in the heart, it loses its brightness. not sweet and not powdery, rather it smells like something transparent and detached. suitable for both men and women. in the base, there's a slight roughness. overall, pleasant, but the soapiness is too pronounced for me, and tonka beans and irises are definitely missing, especially tonka
4/5

This cologne leaves a mixed impression. Its scent is quite calm, but at the same time, it lacks brightness. Spicy and woody notes blend with powdery ones, creating something viscous and heavy. Giving it to a man is, of course, not a bad idea, but the price doesn't always live up to expectations 😔
