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.

Absolutely stunning and unorthodox iris composition. This is a spicy, warmed up iris. Unlike some other reviewers, I disagree with the "amber" classification -- I distinctly get the iris in the top and heart, capitulating in a heavenly musky dry down. Longevity is great. Projection moderate. Totally unisex.

To me this is Lune Feline with Iris, Myrrh and Patchouli. I really like this one and find it very unique and interesting. It is on the sweeter side; so, if you don't like sweet, I wouldn't get this one.

This perfume is too strong upclose and rather masculine but creates this amazing scent bubble that keeps you company all day. Great to attract from afar, not for intimate hook ups!

If you are looking for a warm spicy ambery iris that is unisex, you should definitely check thid out. So classy and elegant. Great for iris lover to use in colder months.

Soft, comforting, cozy, fuzzy, powdery but not too much at all. Beautiful. I can’t decide which I like better - this or Musc Immortelle.

at its best while the iris lingers... on me, dries down to a smoky, rhum and leather. try before you buy. i will buy.

Remember Johnson’s baby powder it smells very similar to that

I forgot to add that I do not get amber and spice.

النسخة الانظف من روج ساراي، بدون الباتشولي والنسخة الغير مالحة من Noir by Night Atelier des Ors اتفق مع اللي تحتي ان الرائحة مسطحة وبسيطة، ولكن لا اشم الا القليل من القرفة وايضا مثل الاغلبية لا اشم السوسن لا اعتقد انها موجودة الا بنسبة مجهرية باختصار نوتات جافة + ارضية ترابية ولكن جافة ايضا وليست حيوانية او رطبة عطر سطحي ليس فيه عمق لكنه اعجبني فقط لاني احب الروائح الجافة، اذا لا تعجبك فهذا لايستحق سعره ابدا اشتره بتخفيض قوي، لايستحق اكثر من ١٠٠ دولار ٧.٩/١٠ - A cleaner version of Rouge Saray, without the patchouli And a less salty version of Noir by Night by Atelier des Ors I agree with the comment below that the scent is flat and simple, but I only smell a small amount of cinnamon Also like most people, I don’t smell iris, I don’t think it’s present except in a microscopic amount In short, dry notes + earthy ground, but also dry, not animalic or damp A flat fragrance with no depth But I liked it only because I enjoy dry scents. If you don’t, then it’s not worth its price at all Buy it at a heavy discount, it’s not worth more than $100 7.9/10

I'm totally in love with this warm spicy scent. The price is ridiculous and I never saw myself owning it, but then I saw it marked down 50% on my birthday and thought it would be a great idea to treat myself. Turns out it's a wonderful scent for Christmas and warming my mood in the Scandinavian winter. I agree that it is resinous and ambery more than irisy (that is probably not a word, but who cares). I don't particularly agree with my previous review where I compared it to Ambre Gris, but the labdanum is indeed very pronounced on my skin. Still, this is not a dirty scent (labdanum can be both sexy and naughty IMO), it is very smooth. I find many scents screetchy and bothersome, but not this. Quite the contrary. I keep getting wonderful whiffs of it and every time I think "damn, I smell goooood!". Happy New Year! Yes, I'm wearing this while unelegantly wearing slacks and eating frozzen pizza. The perfect new years eve this year. And thanks to IF I managed to add just an inch of class to my enjoyable, unpolished and cheap evening. Cheers!

I think that there is great batch variation in this perfume I smelled it at an authorized retailer for Atelier des Ors and it smelled like what I said in the previous review. Now I smelled it again from another source and I can now smell what some are talking about, which is the blast of cinnamon that dominate the overall scent, less dry and woody than the other batch which I like more. The difference is significant it’s not small maybe its more like a reformulation than regular batch variation So take that into consideration. This one is average. Strong cinnamon, very very difficult to smell anything else until the dry down 7/10 Its good but I like the other formulation better

Opening with woody patchouli but soon shifting to a very buttery orris root, with cooked carrot facets. Beautifully warmed and balanced with some lightly spiced myrrh in the base that supports rather than smothers. And a lovely dark, sweet honey note that must be the liatris, folded seamlessly with labdanum. A smidgen of vetiver lifting the myrrh and cinnamon. This is actually gorgeous. Balsamic, honeyed, carroty iris! If that doesn't sound great to you you need to try it on skin to appreciate the warm, fuzzy accord (on card the myrrh falls silent). Iris Fauve isn't very me but it sings on my skin and it's very good indeed

Iris Fauve is an iris that turns warm and spicy. It opens with a wave of cinnamon over an amber-resin base. The iris slides through but never dominates. The heart dries down into woods, musk, and myrrh, adding even more warmth. It’s cozy, enveloping, almost sensual, but also a bit ambivalent, with mild projection, a discreet presence, and a character that never fully asserts itself. If you’re looking for a light or powdery iris, this one revolves around it with restraint.

Lightly powdery from the iris, but not iris-dominant to me. It's a spicy, lightly sweet resin. It has the same spice/smoke that Lune Feline has, but minus the cardamom and with a dusting of iris powder instead. Autumn/winter scent for sure, not super unique - while I love iris, this is more a smoky myrrh than anything. Scent: 7.5/10 Projection: Moderate Longevity: Moderate

I can't decide whether it's worth a full bottle... the opening is somewhat a typical woody burnt caramel resin, however, half an hour into it, there is something intriguing that peeps out from below. Is it the liatris? would have loved to smell it more but then the whole frag gets really quiet. ah.
