Many facets of iris, from its petals to its roots to the earth that it grows in. I was really enjoying this one, until about halfway through the heart when a musty, powdery odor -- reminiscent of my great-aunt's heavy 1940's era face makeup -- showed up and haunted me for about half an hour, before leaving a lovely drydown. I found that so unpleasant that I have to scratch this one off the list.

(Bvlgari Pour Femme did the same thing: 4 hours of pleasant scent, interrupted by half an hour of gosh-awful stale closed-up room smell. I don't know what that note is, but boy, it's horrible on me.)

This is the purest iris scent I know and the one I love most. It is incredibly clean and clear, like a veil almost, and veeeeery sophisticated. I don't smell any soil, nor do I smell anything metallic, which often bother me in iris scents. I detect something cardboardish here but funny as it may sound, that only adds to the whole experience. Perhaps it really is a bit melancholic but not to the point where I wouldn't want to wear it. I actually feel very positive and utterly comfortable wearing this.

(Hate the name. Really. Awful.)
The first iris perfume I encountered, and I fell hard for it. Weird, fresh, carrot-y opening, which soon deepens and progresses into a cold, metallic, rounded, powdery floral. I prefer the carrot to the flower, really, but that's nitpicking.
Today, I may prefer other iris perfumes (Bois d'Iris, notably), but it still holds up rather well.

Lasts about half a second on me. Surprising, because I don't usually have a problem with longevity. Discreet, elegant sillage.

I was doing some fragrance training at one time and that is when I first heard of this fragrance and smelled it. I was surprised that I liked the iris scent .... I would love to try this.

A very subtle, dry, powdery, woody Iris bottled in a blue flacon. Every notes scream,"I am successful, elegant, and classy. I am mature and ready to face the world!"

Smells sad.

Woody iris fades to a faint scent like hairspray. It's not a floral and it's not actually pretty. It is different and the woody/plant combination are fresh in the way that spring time is.

Beautiful fragrance, feels a bit depressed and melancholy to me though.

Quiet, discreet, velvety, sweetish, restrained. Beautiful, magic, sweetish smell of iris, but for me it is sad...but fine, so, I fluctuate: to have or not to have it.

The notes sounded like it might work on me, but alas, it was horrid! The green orris overtook every other note. Not for me.
