Moroccan Iris

Wow, no reviews for this perfume?. Ok well I’ll gladly be the first. This is a review based on a 2ml sample but I will be purchasing a full bottle soon . I love this one, At first spray you’ll think it’s nothing special and quite boring but wait a few minutes and this one opens up so beautifully. It’s unlike anything else I own and I own over 400 bottles of 90% Niche perfumes. The cherry is very prominent at first and stays through the life of this scent, it’s also so beautiful and realistic, then the violet comes in, I don’t get any jasmine, then later I get the orris, cinnamon and last the cedar, the cedar shows up in the very end. The orris in here is not the powdery lipstick kind either, it’s blended so nicely. Sillage is pretty good, longevity on me is a few hours then it’s a skin scent but I have the kind of skin that just drinks up scents and nothing lasts long on me, a few hrs is all I ever get. And this one gave me at least that much before becoming a skin scent. I’m impressed. It should last all day on others. I have to admit I have never been a fan of this house, everything I’ve sampled before I’ve disliked or been unimpressed with but this one is a love. Awe that cherry combined with cinnamon and violet is sooo nice. I think I’ll give Lorga perfumes another chance. I’m off to buy a bottle now. I’ll see if I can get more samples of other perfumes they have. Like I always say, sample first. But if you love a realistic cherry note combined with some florals and cinnamon, you will adore this perfume. The cherry, not the Iris, is the star. At least for the first couple of hours. Very very nice.

POW this is sour cherry and baby powdery orris, Unique yet divine. This is the refined and rounded version of Mancera’s Wild Cherry. Although I find the cherry in Moroccan Iris is a sour cherry wear as Wild Cherry has a sweeter (synthetic) cherry. Powerhouse performance. Sour cherry lingers on clothes. Softens to orris on skin I bought a bottle!

9/10 J'adore, une magnifique cerise poudrée par la racine d'iris et la violette. Performance nucléaire il remplit une pièce je ne m'y attendais pas du tout. Il me fait penser à Putain des Palaces de Etat Libre d'Orange, l'une de mes fragrances préférées, pour ce côté "odeur de maquillage." Grand parfum.

Quelle référence incroyable.... le beurre d'iris, la cerise de sefrou... un parfum extrêmement qualitatif !!!! A ne pas tester rapidement. Prenez le temps de réaliser plusieurs essais. C'est un parfum pour un public averti. Et une fragrance exceptionnelle

Moroccan Iris is another of my many iris samples in my odyssey to find an iris-dominant scent to rival Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist. It is proving to be a quest worthy of a Greek hero. This scent, while pleasant, is more of a powdery cherry scent. The violet-iris accord here is reminiscent of lipstick/vintage make-up compacts, and isn't the focal point. However, this is a really decent scent in its own right that makes good use of its iris note. MI opens with sweet, slightly syrupy cherry. Cherry is a difficult note to get right, being both girlishly gourmand and reminiscent of cough syrup. It tends to be at its best when bolstered by powdery notes and/or almond. Here, the lipstick-y iris-violet tempers it beautifully, keeping things dry and powdery. I get a little spice as it develops. Woody notes emerge as it dries down, while the orris becomes slightly more prominent - powdery and rooty. It remains part of the lipstick-y violet accord, but comes into its own as it develops. It fades to a powdery, woody skin scent with some cherry remaining. Sillage and longevity are moderate. It is a feminine-leaning year-round scent. A nicely-balanced, powdery cherry-lipstick scent, MI is dry and not too sweet. It is only disappointing because I'm looking for an iris soliflore and it is a bit of a misnomer. Grown-up cherry that doesn't take itself too seriously. 4/5.
