Iris

the resurrection of this french brand is the best news of the year. All their perfumes are really beautiful creations, delightfully classic. They compete with Guerlain quality or Rochas or older formulations of Dior before the current disaster. First iris used here is of excellent quality, then it is not too powdery or soapy, supported by the spiciness of the lily. Need I say more? We just want to thank the one who create it + a big smile.

True love. Words can’t describe you nor can I. Le Galion Iris a remarkable blend of Iris and Lily just like an innocent elegant kind woman. Both of long lasting & sillage are really good.

This is an absolute masterpiece!

I am an iris fan and I have to say this is one of the best made Iris fragrances I have ever encountered. Give it a try. It is mesmerizing !

Fresh, dewy lily, with very little of the other notes. But it is so realistic and plush, I don't even mind.

I realized after purchasing the full bottle how close this smells to Malle's Leau D'hiver. But I am obsessed with this scent profile so I do not mind at all and I can spray liberally. Smells like you have just washed your hair with the most luxurious baby shampoo :)

Iris is not a favourite note here(don't hate it, it's just kinda...meh) but this I can get behind. A clean, not very powdery but a little fruity scent.

I never would have paid money for a sample if I’d known this had aldehydes in it. To my nose and skin chemistry, it was a huge blast of aldehydes right from the start, and after 30 minutes I couldn’t take anymore so I covered it with another fragrance and STILL, 2 hours later the aldehydes are poking out.

This is such an elegant fragrance. I can almost feel myself falling into wet, lush flowers on the opening of this. I just want to sink into a chair in the garden, with a tall Gin and tonic and a favourite book. It reminds me of early summer, and takes my breath away, just like the first flowers do. What I have noticed is that the individual notes seem to run in and out so quickly that I hardly have time to breathe in the perfume before the notes change. Within 5 minutes the base notes of Cedar, Amber and Muscs are peeking out and making me want to take a deeper inward breath. Crisp white linen, tall white lily in a vase, a white and green table setting, a beautiful summer house with white furniture and white chiffon curtains. Oh my, how beautiful. For me, this would be at it's most beautiful in late spring, when everything is green and juicy, and I will wear it at this time. Phew... so lovely!

This is very well done. It opens with a clean floral scent, maybe a bit soapy. The middle is more interesting as it's iris with resins adding some complexity. The final part is sweeter. I find this to be a very subtle scent and suitable for work or for someone who isn't interested in making a statement but just wants to smell classy and nice. I also like the idea of this on a man which would give it some much needed interest as well.

The combination of a soapy lily, clean, unemotional, with a rooty carroty iris is really interesting. Not something utterly savage, but not as tamed as the beginning would suggest. The dry down is an earthy skin scent, unisex and probably discreetly unpolished.

It starts with a clean and sharp iris scent and It shows the oily and powdery sweet scent of heliotrope(Lilac) nuance(the note said 'mimosa) time after.
