Fétiche L’Iris

If you are an iris note lover like me, then this is one I recommend smelling. I had one of those rare "throw the head back" experiences in Nordstrom smelling this one. I couldn't stop thinking about it once I emptied the sample vial and back I went today and bought a bottle. This is classified as a chypre, and I would say it smells like a modern interpretation of one. I smell no aldehydes in this. It's so beautifully blended, soft, warm and has a woody almost subtle smoky effect to me. It's not that it smells like smoke per se, but there is an earthy woodiness here. I am picky about patchouli, but it is so well done, I like it. I have a lot of iris perfumes and this is not like any I currently own, including L'Ange Noir. This is different. It does smell luxury and lasting power and projection are very good for an iris perfume. Thank goodness it comes with an alternate cap as I am afraid I will poke myself with that lid. I notice I get whiffs of a beautiful sillage that is sweeter than when I smell my wrists. Oh my gosh, I think this is so beautiful!

Some of these reviews are bizarre 👀 I loved this! Classic cold orris is heavier in the opening (not a powdery lipstick Iris), and then the witchier aspects of patchouli unfold but restrained a bit - not quite as loud as, say, Magie Noir. I detect a smidge of incense that isn’t listed here as a note, maybe a tiny bit of Vetiver too. This is really lovely, and absolutely perfect for cold weather in Fall/Winter. If you’re an Iris lover and can tolerate or love patch, definitely get your nose on this one.

Now this, this is really good...... To the point that I’m going to purchase this tonight because I tried it late morning today and I cannot get this out of my minddddd🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 It’s a beautiful and sophisticated iris without being too earthy or damp. It’s the perfect amount of chic iris without being too much...the grounding patchouli is also great. It’s a sophisticated patchouli that never goes hippie or dirty. Just perfect! Gotta have a full bottle!✨💜✨💜✨💜✨

Creamy, peppery iris and patchouli. It smells like it has to have some tonka bean in it too. Very warm but dark, alluring Also I'm someone who usually doesn't like iris but I love this, it isn't a lipsticky kind at all, has a tiny sweetness. The patchouli here is clean and approachable It reminds me a lot of Orpheon but not soapy, more of an edge to it, and Orpheon is colder It also reminds me a lot of the Bath & Body Works Moonlit Graveyard candle

a Beautiful addition to my collection, a definition of a luxury scent, Openning with a lovely powdery-irisy note and drys down beautifully on the skin. I always enjoying having a perfume with a character and unique identity , and guys this is one of them Over all 9.5/10
