Iris

Chloe iris definitely has much more notes in it. It is a unique iris scent if you have the experience to analyze. An amazing green iris at the top. It makes you feel that it is very natural and also airy. Buttery and soft. A few minutes later, you get a coconut like smell which is somewhat indolic. When the floral jasmine notes come in, it becomes full bodied and much denser than the top notes. I never really liked iris with other floral notes, i believe it shadows the beauty of iris. So, the iris-jasmine clash is not pleasent at all. It still smells very irisy in the air though. This phase lasts for 2-3 hours. When the drydown starts, i get an amazing and airy tonka bean note with sandalwood and vanilla. Iris with tonka really amazed me here. The drydown is a nice surprise after those somewhat challenging mid notes. The drydown shows its beauty only on skin, paper test will probably make you think this is a one dimensional scent.

Here is a lovely scent if you like a pure iris, don’t mind having to re-spray (or prefer discreet scents that don’t gas other people) and dislike many fixatives used to give iris lasting power. I adore the note of iris, but it’s often accompanied by other notes or aromachemicals I like less. I would say this is just a clear iris note over a sweet slightly musky base that may be sandalwood with ambrette. Very uncomplicated and short lived, but I really like to spray it when feeling a bit down, unwell or just in need of a comfort undemanding scent. I’ve been using this a lot with my other Chloes, often at home or going to bed. Really glad Chloe has this line, and hoping it sells as I’m very much in the market for it.

I fell in love with this scent in the spring and summer. First of all, it’s alcohol-free, and when I spray it on my skin, it gives off a scent that reminds me of herbal roots soaked in liquor — almost like a medicinal root-based liqueur. There’s an earthy undertone at first, followed by a soft powdery trail that lingers on the skin. It doesn’t last very long on the skin, but there's a faint, pleasant trace that stays close. On clothes, however, it lasts longer and doesn’t overwhelm in crowded places thanks to its light projection. It feels clean, subtle, and distinct — yet hard to confuse with any other fragrance.

One word: gorgeous. Just magnificent in its simplicity. The opening is just that - a pure iris/orris, green, vegetal, slightly buttery. Iris is my all time favorite note by a mile, and I really wanted to smell it by itself, unmixed with anything, and this is exactly what I've been looking for. Unfortunately, this beautiful opening does not last long, maybe 10 minutes? And then you get a base that feels like mostly ambrette with faint hints of iris.

I am surprised not to see any green notes. The green freshness of the opening hides Iris for an hour or so. Smells like flower stems. Then floral Iris comes out in all its beauty, without any baby powder or lotion kind of notes. It's dewy and airy Iris, not powdery or earthy. Dina_France (YouTube perfume reviews)
