  • A shared threadWoody, amber, powdery and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Iris Oriental 14 in fall and GRAND CUVÉE in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Iris Oriental 14 is moderate on both, GRAND CUVÉE moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
