Naiviris Huitieme Art Parfums for women and men

Iris has never been my thing, so I sometimes think why do I even bother to try out anything with iris in it and in this one it's even the main note, but ok, let's put my hate for iris aside and see what we have here.
I'm not saying it's bad, just on my skin it feels extremely weird, it started out as a chemical wood polish and then turned to the smell of an old powdery lipstick, but I've heard that people seem to enjoy the smell, so if you are one of those give Naiviris a try.
I couldn't actually imagine this on a man as I find this to be too powdery and sweet for a man to wear.
All in all - i find this a bit too weird for me to enjoy it. Pitty. But maybe it's just me and iris not getting along again.

I saved the best for last. This is my favorite scent of the line. Soft, ever so sweet iris, blended amicably with the carrot-like root. Fresh, pleasant and vaguely woody, reminding me of a new shop. I see this more as a feminine fragrance. Lovely. I only wish it were a tad stronger.

From the name, i`d expect something an exotic iris, but this one goes very far from exotic for me. Naiviris smell like clean powdery on me, and seems to be more on the feminine side of unissex i think, altough a man that likes powdery fragrances that tends to go on a childish direction would enjoy it very well. I`m impressed that this one only has two notes, because i get at least five: Iris, Saffron, Fruit Notes, Musk, Woods. I see it this way, like a clean powdery iris fragrances of subtle spicy and fruity notes. This one opens on my skin like some kind of red aoud ultra-light. I see like you take the saffron and red fruit aroma of red aoud and fade it to a 30-40% of intensity, matching with it a clean powdered iris. Seeing it from other side, it also reminds me of the saffron and iris heart of traversee du bosphore, but without the rose, honey and spiced fruity aspects of traversee. I get all the notes at once, first saffron, then iris, then fruity notes, then something like wood and then something like clean musk. After some time, what seems to remain is the powdered iris and the clean musk aspects. I found this one ok, but there are better irises on the market and i wouldn`t buy it since it wouldn`t add anything new on my wardrobe. But if it`s clean powder that you want, this is a good choice.
