I Love Les Carottes Honore des Pres for women

An hommage, and a good one too, of Iris Silver Mist.

For those of you with no access to ISM, seek this one.
But then again if you dont have access to ISM then you wont have easier access to this.

I think this is such fun! Probably the intent was to make a light-hearted perfume but you know what? It actually smells quite deep & meaningful with the iris root butter making it rather similar to my adored earthy, dank Iris Silver Mist by Serge Lutens. I find the iris root butter slightly overpowers the carrot perfume. Unfortunately it does not have the lasting power of the Lutens. The packaging is so cute - a take-away coffee cup filled with strips of orange raffia to resemble julienne carrots! I think if someone smelled this perfume on you in passing they would not think "Carrots!" but rather might puzzle as to what that scent actually is. I do have to say that the carrot part is one of those tough old earthy carrots, not a dewy fresh baby one. I'm very glad to have bought it blind; it has been on my wish list forever. Intriguing & IMO it deserves a 9.5/10.

Smells like.....um.....carrots.

I have a mental image of walking around like a giant carrot at a school play. Probably not what Olivia Giacobetti had in mind when creating this....
Definitely quirky but somewhat compelling at the same time. If I could find an appropriate opportunity to smell like a carrot I would buy this.

The carrot is dead. Long live the carrot!

At first sniff, this actually made me laugh out loud. Not since defiling my grandfather's carrot patch back when I was 6 years old, playing hide-and-seek in the wrong places, have I smelt anything so carrot-like! It's spicy carrot half an hour later - not so much evocative of NY Sunday brunches, as advertised,(but perhaps I simply have not had enough of them), as much as raw, fresh carrot dropped in boiling water a second ago-complete with root, because I get that, too. Strangely compelling, if you like carrots. Avoid if you have any mildly traumatic carrot experiences - this will take you straight back there.

I should probably mention that my friend's dog was particularly enthralled by this fragrance. And who are we to argue with a hound's 'nose' for authenticity?

I voted 'like' because this is unusual, to say the least, with impressive sillage for a carrot- I wouldn't wear it, but nor am I giving my sample away. I might just spray in on my hand on a cold winter day to remind myself I should eat more carrots.

a funny perfume with a high smell of carrot when you spray it, the smell keep the carrot fragrance for quite a long time even if you can feel the vanilla scent after half hour, its funny and original but maybe hard to wear everyday if you are not a rabbit, or a carrot:) ...
