Jacques Fath Irissime Jacques Fath for women

reformulation =trahison....du sucre du sucre du sucre ....et ou est l'iris???

What a wonderful scent. It reminds me of L Instant Magic,...so powdery and soft,... staying power is quite good in my opinion,.... The only problem are the first 10 minutes,...because the scent hits you first, then it calm down to a soft cloud of fluffy powder. It is sweet, but not in a generic way. L Instant Magic is the best way to explain,....but without the orange arome,...

I am glad I got a sample vial first - on me (or to me) it smells like a baby powder. Kind of like a cheaper version of Chanel #5.

Unfortunately, the musk in this is very medicinal and ruins the softness of this iris.

I am discovering that musk is a difficult note for me, many times it takes on a touch of "bug spray" or antiseptic, in this case.

Wow, this is iris? I think I like it!! I received a sample of this today and I must say that this is one of the most elegant fragrances that I've ever been exposed to. Everything about this is JUST RIGHT. The longevity is decent. The sillage is perfect. The drydown is delicate (not too musky) and this is a pure pleasure to my nose. I'm pretty sure I'd LOVE this on a woman.
I'd be foolish to declare this to be a unisex-in-hiding. But I do believe that the right man can pull this one off in the Autumn/Winter, maybe even the Spring. I AM the right man. ;)

Upon spraying I smell strong vegetal iris, almost carrot-y. Quickly the iris softens, becoming sweeter. From that point on it's soft iris, musk and muted woods. At the drydown it becomes very close to the skin, losing all iris/rose notes leaving sweet musk and cedar. The cedar note that runs through the middle and base notes is keeping the whole thing from collapsing into smelling like the too sweet/generic Balmain Ambre Gres.
