Iris Fauve

#1562 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Unlike some of the other reviewers I'm getting a lot of iris note from this scent. I would say if you already have "Musc Immortelle" this is very similar, but less of a marshmallow creme character. The scent is definitely unisex, but less feminine leaning than the brighter, more citrusy Musc Immortelle. I'm not getting the strong blast of cinnamon others are reporting. The liatris does give this a hint of clover honey and the cypriol gives it a hint of fir, but mostly I'm getting iris, patchouli, vetiver and myrrh and it's very likeable. I have noticed that I seem to like the whole Atelier des Ors lineup more than the average. Mostly it's that they always get noticed by the women in my life, several of whom are now wearing "Larmes du Desert" and "Lune Feline" and will probably fight me for this one as well. I've tried eight of their scents so far and this will be my eighth full bottle purchase. The quality of this very comfortable scent, as with every one of their scents I've tried, is fine. All day long on the skin, arm's length projection for a couple of hours. I would just caution that all musk and incense scents should be used with moderation in tight spaces. I don't wear them in an office setting myself. But they tend to be a hit on dates. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

A unique alluring delicate warm Iris. The scent is very unisex and would be beautiful on a man or woman IMHO. That said, some may feel the fragrance leans masculine bc it's not overly powdery or too sweet. It is posh though. Iris Fauve wafts through the air and lingers leaving a seductive trail. Truly captivating. I did purchase the 100ml - if you are aware of the House, you know how outstanding Atelier Des Ors presentation is... just stunning! Edit: Yesterday was my first full wearing of this fragrance and it is a true pleasure. Marie Salamagne is an artist (I own FB of Lune Feline & Iris Fauve). Iris Fauve is beautiful, luxurious, sexy - would be an amazing Spring / Summer signature scent. I first applied 3 sprays around 1 PM and received two compliments within a hour. The fragrance is easily perceivable from 6 foot away. I reapplied around 8 PM with 4 sprays and captured wafts all through the night while I slept. Iris Fauve is still present closely on my clothes this morning almost 24 hours later. The perfume is never overwhelming. I am pleasantly surprised with the performance (12+ hours longevity, 5+ solid projection) and the high quality ingredients sets this scent apart.

First of all, I love perfumes with warm spicy, earthy and amber kinda vibes, because as I often wear these kinds of fragrances during the rainy season or colder weather. And I’m so glad that I found this hidden gem. From the very first spray, Iris Fauve bring you into a rich and intriguing warmth of dry spices, like I get a hint of strong cinnamon here, and it’s kinda earthy and dusty at the same time. And then it becomes a little bit balsamic after 1-2 hours and whats sets this fragrance apart is the subtle yet distinctive presence of iris. Unlike its usual powdery floral character, here, the iris feels more subdued, and the warm spices kinda dominating the iris composition. But I find Iris Fauve is setting the stage to make you feels both mysterious, elegant and sophisticated when you wearing this. It is very a unique perfume to me, I personally loved this and I definitely wear this on cold weather or rainy season. And for the performance is quite good, projection is a moderate, but the longevity is great, on skin 2-5 hours, last forever on clothes.

Iris fauve is one of my favourite iris scent. Following the líne of bous d'argent by Dior but without the harsh vibe of the incense, sweeter and more subtle; and adding elements present in Dior homme, givenchy gentleman or impossible iris by monegal. This is one iris perfume more, worked in an oriental way, very balsámic and warm...this is one more but one of the good ones. The performance is good but, maybe, according to the price a bit scarce. However the scent is natural and very pleasant with a very ambery dry down if myhrr, labdanum and vetiver. Very good option for falla and winter as daily scent or ever for warm nights un summer.

Iris Fauvre is the most interesting and elegant iris-centric fragrance I’ve tried or owned. I often find Iris pleasant, but predictable or underwhelming. In this composition, the shimmery-light qualities of iris are present with a honeyed myrrh accompaniment. Cinnamon and labdanum are present, but beautifully translucent and delicate. The rest of the notes blend into the background. Supremely refined, high quality, and wonderfully blended. Iris Fauvre lasts a long time, and projects well. The scent cloud is light and airy, though never boring. I go semi-noseblind to it after a couple of hours, which is a bummer. Fortunately, the people around me still smell it; their responses have been universally positive. Unisex.
