l'esprit libre

The opening is bright and citrusy, both green and fruity, like a blend of lime and mandarin. It starts so fresh I'm wondering if there is also a pinch of ozonic aldehydes. Underneath, there is a light woody note that recalls me of paper in a really soothing way, but with kind of a tar aftertaste. Also, right from the beginning, the orris shows its buttery smoothness, gathering everything into a rounder fragrance. Then a lily of the valley is blooming, feeling fresh along with the citruses, and creamy thanks to the orris butter. The floral note is slightly aquatic, almost fishy at times. The fragrance finally sets with a spicy note, something like turmeric, but really softly brought, adding just the right amount of warmth to the floral body which until then felt so fresh. The orris butter is still there, along with the subtle woody note and the spicyness sharpens with time. This fragrance is lovely, simple and well-balanced, it melts nicely with the skin and evolves smoothly.

Fresh iris fragrance. Easy to wear, easy to love. Iris and bergamot with a touch of cashmere. Very feminine, perfect for the office. More for spring and summer. Moderate sillage and longevity, not bold or potent. Delicate and elegant, for iris lovers. 8/10

A very pretty, translucent and aquatic iris scent with a mouth-watering zesty citrus. This would make a perfect fresh summer scent to rescue you on a scorchingly hot day. Light, lovely and refreshing.

Very nice blended scent. Aquatic floral scent with a lot of zesty citruses in the back, I absolutely love it. Gorgeous unisex warm weather scent. Worth trying.

pretty good. powdery but not like so bad that i hate it. fresh, aquatic, and pleasant smelling. not a super exciting category for me
