Love Flame

This is beautifully done. I get a feel for that lovely Dior Powdery Iris in a very light daytime wearable version brightened by bergamont and patchouli . Iris Malikhan (Crivelli) is slightly less powdery but is a very similar Iris with added leather/animalic notes making it darker. Atlier Silver Iris is a little sweeter (?) and more sharp. My old bottle of Narcisco For Him EDT is a little closer to this than my bottle of Narcisco For Him Intense (EDP). I was a little afraid of the civet note in this but I just do not get much if it at all. The dry down becomes more refined light powdery iris.. leans toward Musc Ravageur under the Iris... becomes sexy, more sensual, and very easy to wear, not overpowering or too bold - exquisitely done. The test strip does no favors. and makes it almost linear. On the skin, it transforms itself over time as it blends with your pH. I'm having a hard time picking just one bottle out from this House. My favorite I think is Five Senses, then Love Flame, then You, and Light Breeze and lastly Game of Joy, but EVERYONE around me picks Game of Joy first - the fruity watermelon has them sold :) Five Senses and You to me are not safe blind buys, but they are TOTALLY my jam, and I am aware most people do not agree with me. i have odd taste :) ... but if you love DIOR IRIS, the LOVE FLAME is probably a no-brainer. Easily unisex as well and LESS hard-to-wear than DIOR PARFUM (pre 2025). On clothing, I can still smell this a full 10 days later... and counting Because Love Flame is so unisex and my partners first choice, the first full bottle will most likely be LOVE FLAME since we will BOTH enjoy wearing this gem.

I received this as a sample and coincidentally i have been loving iris at the moment. I absolutely LOVE this! This iris is thick and not TOO sweet. It is comforting, classy, waxy, grounded and really a joy to wear. I dont really get chocolate as much, but this is my first wear. Upon opening i almost get a “flame” accord and wondering if that was by design? I envisioned like of those old fashioned lighters my parents had in the 70s where you added your own lighter fluid? But it wasnt strong just a visual pop in my head - like a scent memory. I think this is versatile. You can dress this up or down. I believe safe for office. I think this is romantic, and is fine for a date or night out. For me, FB worthy. But again i am having a love affair with iris so it makes sense! I will have to check prices and make a decision after. May be out of my normal price range.

First let me start by saying I dont like castoreum and I dont love love chocolate in most scents. So when I say this is well blended, I mean it because when I smell castoreum I usually immediate point all my toes and fingers in a bullish down trend to express my extreme disdain. Instead, this one used expert perfumery to hide it moderately well. Do I like this scent? No. Not for me but an expert composition nonetheless. Also, not very unique or inspiring. Not very strong and not very memorable tbh Dry down oddly enough is quite lovely soft and fruity. 3.89/5 not a scent i like but undeniable expert level perfumery here.

I love this treatment of iris, though admittedly, I'm a zealous lover of iris. A trifecta of iris, ambrette, and orconax emerge upon first spray. It doesn't take long for a dark chocolate to emerge, giving the composition a little gourmand undertone. Papery, with a whisper-soft gourmand filling, Love Flame has certainly ignited my love for it.

I'm really obsessed with this brand. Fragrances are sensual, nostalgic. This one specially got me 3-4 compliments this weekend. Only got a sample of it and thinking about get a full bottle soon. The chocolate and Irish works perfectly together.
