Notre Flore Iris

I have no idea what papyrus is supposed to smell like. Tonka is what rounds out this Iris giving me a feeling of edible sweetness. I see that others are finding this to be dark and vegetal, I do not find it to be so, but I think that depends on how you feel about Iris itself. This isn't available currently through the L'Occitane store in the US, but I was able to get it from an Amazon seller. ETA 12/2011 - looks like this has been reincarnated as just plain "Iris" on the L'Occitane USA website. Same notes but with the addition of pink pepper.

I had this when it first came out and hindsight being 20/20 I would have bought a back up or two. This is my kind of juice. When iris and violet are the stars how can you go wrong. I recently found a sealed cellophane and all bottle for no more than what I paid retail. I am happy. I know its nor groundbreaking but it is done to perfection. Not too light but not too heavy a good medium weight frag. And the Tonka adds a touch of vanilla sweetness.

To me, this is iris meets violets, and even though I see them both as "shy" flowers, this scent is delicate but not too shy. The bottle itself is a beauty. I really enjoy it - to my opinion, such a scent doesn't need to be very complicated. It just needs to smell natural, clean and good. And it does. Great choice for an everyday perfume, with fairly good longevity and a sillage that won't make anyone too upset :)

Not a complex scent. Linear. Predictable. But pleasant. I see as a floral wood, not as a floral green. Floral sober: no romantic or dreamer. Sexy but discrete. A beautiful iris representative. I Confess.. I fell in love for your simplicity. "Simple things are the most extraordinary." Paulo Coelho

All the notes inside Notre Fleur Iris are true and loyal to the very flower. Elegant, soft and powdery. Beautiful!
