Black Iris Men from the Chinese house Shanghai Tang is a compact, three-note fragrance for men in which spice, woods and leather carry equal weight.

Nutmeg sets the tone with a warm, slightly sweet and nutty spice, giving the opening a gentle heat rather than a sharp sparkle. Leather then appears, smooth and slightly smoky, lending the composition a refined, tactile character. Cedar runs through the base, dry, clean and pencil-like, keeping the scent structured and preventing the leather from feeling heavy.

Because it uses so few notes, Black Iris Men is clear and focused, more a well-cut jacket than an elaborate perfume. Its warm spice and leather point to autumn and winter, and it works for the office as well as evenings. It should appeal to men who like understated leather scents with a touch of spice and a dry woody finish.
