Irisistible

I want it, I want it, I want it! The best iris perfume I have ever tasted. Perhaps there are other perfumes based on the iris with greater projection and longevity ... But not with such a natural aroma and a powdery feeling of iris So concentrated ... In other cases I have found more or less pleasant perfumes and a certain sensation of iris but here ... The iris is the total protagonist! It is accompanied by white flowers that help to achieve its power And in the background creamy sandalwood that gives character and strength to the perfume. The perfume is a bit expensive but, taking into account that it has a high concentration of natural iris, the price is perfectly understandable since here, at least, you can feel that you are paying for something that is really good. It goes directly to my wishlist even though I don't know when I will be able to buy it since the brand has temporarily stopped production due to the difficulty in obtaining the materials. Still I hope I can get a little bottle when they make it again. Irisistible is simply irisistible ... and a jewel of perfumery. Real niche!

Irisistible...For me the mystic experience started from the moment I saw the picture of this new fragrance... the color of heavenly, celestial dew mesmerized me and started to bring forth pictures, ideas, emotions that are highly elevated and uplifting! Once I received and smelled the fragrance,- the magic continued... I must say this Iris Fragrance is light and gentle and beautifully tempered on the outside... but so powerful and active on the inside... what I mean is it does something to Your Subconscious mind and it brings out memories and blocks from the past and it solves and dissolves them and as a result You receive the inflow of released from the past energies that make You feel healed and light and saturated with Joy! And it is kind of Childlike Joy, the most uplifting and rejuvenating! I am sure it has to do something with the molecula Irone Alpha in iris butter, that has this uplifting purifying properties on the brain wave function. But science aside, it is the Most Mystic Fragrance ever! Probably like Holy Water for the Praying One...

Initial impressions off a first-time sample; the opening smells like steamed plain white rice that you are about to add some butter to. Extremely unique in the perfume world IMO, though not really an "alluring sexy" kind of opening smell. More white-root smelling. As it dries down the more mainstream iris smell (recognizable from various Prada fragrances) starts to unfold, but is fairly distant, a bit dry and not loud and in your face. This is a very soft style of fragrance with some interesting nuances throughout. I even get faint vibes of a woody-tea smell here and there. If you love iris I'd say sample this one out. The opening is truly bizarre and like nothing I have smelled before. And if you generally tend to favor lighter, and more personal scents, you might really enjoy this. This smells of high quality, no harsh synthetics/aroma-chemicals here that I can detect. But definitely not a beast performer by any stretch of the imagination. Leans feminine.

This is a surprising fragrance, in a very good way. It's a very good example of how the gestalt of a fragrance can (should?) be more than just the sum of its notes. Apart from a distinct note of Iris, most of the other ingredients are not overtly present, at least not in their characteristic form; the citric hint is not overtly lemon, the sandalwood seems devoid of its characteristic sweetness. It dries down to wonderfully dry, a suggestion of beautiful handmade antique paper with the lingering scent of an Iris perfume... This is most definitely an unisex fragrance and a definite find for those who shy away from overly sweet fragrances. If it were a wine, it would be the driest of dry whites, perfectly chilled.

I've had my bottle for a few years, never really wore it, expected something much more floral but this for me is just orris. Dry, papery, earthy orris. The other notes are noticeable but very very slightly. I have to read the notes listing and then search for them amongst the orris. Citrus notes are strongest in the beginning but aren't particularly lemon-y, more of a suggestion of a sour tasting fruit. Tuberose is noticeable, it is a natural extract of tuberose which I can only detect because I own some and am familiar with it's scent. There's a tinge of jasmine but it's not a complete note, more like bits and pieces of a jasmine note. Like others have said, this perfume smells like paper/cardboard, dry, earthy orris. Not much else. Kind of get the cooked rice thing too but that could be some of the natural tuberose at play.
