How perfumes with iris perform

In our wear tests, perfumes with iris score 6 out of 10 for longevity on average, which means moderate staying power, so a midday refresh helps.

Sillage, the trail a perfume leaves behind you, averages 5 out of 10, which points to moderate projection that stays fairly close.

In hot and humid conditions, the same perfumes average 5 out of 10 for longevity. Heat speeds up evaporation, so expect scents to feel stronger at first and fade sooner than in cool, dry air.

Buying tips for perfumes with iris

Store the bottle well. Heat, light and humidity break perfume down, so keep it in its box, in a cool drawer, and away from the bathroom.

Buy from trusted sellers. Genuine perfume should have clean packaging, a batch code and a consistent colour. The retailer links on each page are a good place to start, and prices that look too good to be true usually are.

Think about your climate. Heat and humidity shorten how long most perfumes last, so check the hot and humid longevity score before you choose a bottle for daily wear.
