Does this fragrance lean more masculine or feminine?+−
Skin on Skin is classified as unisex. It balances traditionally feminine notes like iris and rose with more masculine-leaning elements like whisky, suede, and saffron. Most find it to be a gender-neutral, musky scent that adapts to the wearer’s own chemistry.
Is this a good choice for the office?+−
Yes, because it stays very close to the body. Its low sillage ensures it won't overwhelm colleagues, though the boozy whisky and "dirty" musk notes make it slightly more suited for casual or evening wear than a strictly formal business environment.
How long does the fragrance typically last?+−
While it becomes an intimate skin scent within the first two hours, many users report that the musk and suede base notes can still be detected on the skin for 8 to 9 hours after application.
How does this compare to other L'Artisan Parfumeur iris scents?+−
It is less powdery and floral than their traditional iris offerings. The addition of whisky and leather gives it a denser, "greyer" feel compared to the brighter, more botanical iris found in other fragrances from the house.
