Fleur D'Iris

Gorgeous waxy, lipstick fragrance. This one goes on a real journey. Nothing much on first spray but the magic starts in around five minutes. Really high quality orris here..For a while there she had the carrot seed / iris qualities of the now discontinued and very unique Miller Harris Violet Ida. The two fragrances share a number of notes in common. This one's much better than Violet Ida. The beautiful mandarin and orange blossom kick in strongly for a short time giving way to the orchid and heliotrope. After around 20 minutes the Dior Hypnotic Poison vibe kicks in and that saves this one from being just a vintage type perfume that may not be everyone's cup of tea. Unbelievably good value and THIS one is everything I wanted Violet Ida to be. Beautiful, buttery orris has been used to formulate this. (I repeat).There's nothing cheap about it but the very reasonable price. Signature perfume worthy. I haven't tried many Lagerfeld offerings but this delightful fragrance will definitely tempt me to try more. A truly amazing find!

Just got this today. Wow. Love it, but did not expect this. The iris was wonderful the first hour or so, creamy and comforting with a bit of dryness. So floral and whimsical so girly and lovely, I can imagine anyone with butterflies in their heart would love to smell like this. Then once it settles unfortunately the iris is less noticable, and vanilla and heliotrope go on strong. Now, this will sound wild. But once we get to the dry down it reminds me more and more of Hypnotic poison EDT. If there was a flanker called Hypnotic Iris Poison Legere I believe it would smell like this dry down 😅 so it ends a little bit heavy. The silage is good, and the longevity is moderate but it is not a safe blind buy. Total chameleon this one, I love it and will wear it a ton in spring and fall, just not in summer how I envisioned. Edit: it is not a dupe for Hypnotic by any means just gives a similar vibe. If you like one you will the other ❤️

It's actually really nice, a pleasant surprise, I love it, the iris is so good here and this smell of new things, new cardboard boxes or ink with the sweetness of vanilla. It kind of reminds me of Ikebana Indigo Kenzo, I really love it. The longevity is great and the sillage is exactly what I want it to be, not in your face, but noticeable and discreet, just enough to spark interest. I need to update, so the sillage is now much more noticeable after a week than when I first bought it, I naively wore it to church today and honestly it was a little embarrassing because I expected it to be discreet, but today it wasn't, on the contrary, it was wild.

I get what people mean when they compare it to Dior Hypnotic Poison or even Scandal Le Parfum. It’s a softer version of both, with dominant iris and orris notes. There’s something screechy in Hypnotic Poison and Scandal that I don’t get along with—maybe something in the floral accord. My bet is on jasmine or tuberose. This one I can wear without getting a headache and still enjoy that mysterious trail of Hypnotic Poison. But you do have to like iris—and I do. But it's not a dupe. It's reminiscent of that DNA.

This is so good! One of the best iris scent I have ever smelled. There is Hypnotic DNA in the drydown. It's like Iris flanker of HP. I love her.
