Pink Iris

This fragrance a traditional fruity, spicy floral with a sweet musky dry down. The raspberry/basil and pepper opening set you up for the creamy, powdery iris and rose bouquet. The dry down is a soft musky vanilla w/ the top raspberry note, spicy basil/pepper and the mid notes of the powdery florals never leaving. This perfume performs and performs. No need to reapply, it lasts all day. Clothes still smell of it after washing. If people tell you naturals don't last and can't perform like synthetics they haven't tried the Abel brand. These naturals get the job done!

You gotta get past the opening. The opening is so spicy it’s almost soapy, with the mingling of pepper and basil. The magic happens about 15 minutes later, when a very sweet raspberry iris emerges. This is a pink cotton candy scent if you wait for it. So beautiful. I don’t love the opening, but I don’t mind it either. I’ve only tried the EDP but I’m curious to know if the same transformation happens with the extrait

If you want something that smells like the real thing, look no further. Smells like the embodiment of Spring and is simply stunning.

Quite unique. It would be wonderful if it lasted longer

I like this fragrance, however it doesn't last on me. I can only detect it on myself for a few hours: first 2 houra like it should, the hours after only a very faint drydown. Sometimes I can detect it on clothing however the day after. Disappointing performance. The scent itself is nice and not as pronounced as expected. More of the subdued and inoffensive kind. It does smell good on me, and my husband agrees. Upon first spray, I immediately get a flavorful ripe raspberry. Leaning towards hard raspberry candies, a little nostalgic, without being sickly sweet. Because in the opening the sweetness is toned down by the herbal an spicy sichuan peppercorn note. It is quite strong but I like it. Then the raspberry starts to mingle with the orris and musks. However, I don't find this a very powdery or irissy scent at all. At most, the orris and musks bring some fluffy softness to the raspberry. No lipstick or powder box. If anything, I find the rose and maybe some of the jasmin to be more prominent on me. Summary: nice fruity raspberry with fresh spiciness of sichuan peppercorn embedded in a soft orris&musk cloud, with whisps of rose floating by. Not that adventurous, but an easy to grab fragrance. And you can spray both liberally and often, because it doesn't really last...
