Cuir Iris

This was a blind buy that I almost regretted buying when I got home as previous online reviews pointed to this being a masculine fragrance but I strongly disagree. cuir Iris is very unique and well blended, reminding me very strongly of Chanel's Cuir de Russie. I can't yet pick out individual notes but so far I would say that it works well in any weather, especially on days where you are wanting casual, understated elegance. It's great for the daytime, the office or just chilling at home. I love it's versatility. It has moderate projection and 4-5hrs in longevity.

I bought this without trying it out first (the store had no testers) because the combination of the notes looked interesting and it was so well priced that I wanted to experience it for myself. What a delight. Although this fragrance can certainly be worn by men or women, it makes me feel very feminine. Warm, subtle, intriguing and important. Very suitable for the office, since it doesn't leave a trail and doesn't assault the senses. I can see myself wearing this in any season and any time of day.

I paid 3euro for this, could have paid 50-60 euro more and would find it normal, best deal I ever had by far, for this price you will never ever find something this great, it's a steal. It's a delicious unisex leather with just a touch of vanilla and iris in the background to make it creamy and soft. It reminds me a bit of Midnight in Paris, with less staying power and less sweetness, but more leather. The longevity and projection are average but for the price, I really can't complain.

The first notes without a bit aggressive, unsubtle and may offend traditional noses . A few minutes, and that aggression is transformed into astringency. At half an hour, one smells distinguished, very I arrived arriving. In short, a complex fragrance, not for anyone, only for the one who likes to transgress with the senses .

If anyone has a bottle to sell or swap. Please do let me know. I'm in the UK.
