So far, Iris is my favorite of the three Maxima soaps I have used.  All three generate superb lather, but Iris is the most delightful to my nose, and the most easily approachable for me.  Ironically, I really can't say how faithful the scent is to an iris.  I say "ironically" because iris is one of my wife's favorite flowers, and among the many that she grows and and beautifully arranges to grace our table with their beauty and fragrance.  I am certain though, that the scent is lusciously floral, as well as very clear and present.  Paired with Dior Homme Intense, a mildly contrasting floral musk, this shave was a real treat.

Whenever I hear the word “Iris”. I think of Jodi Fosters’ character in Taxi Driver.
