Mythique

This scent is one of the most gorgeous I own. Put simply, it is a creamy sueded iris scent. It stays close to the skin, yet lingers all day. It is unlike any other scent I've come across and every time I wear it, I feel like I am wearing something very precious and rare. I ordered the sampler directly from the manufacturer and tried all of her scents. Although some of the other scents are truly wonderful, this - to me - was in a league all its own. I have sampled a lot of niche iris scents and this is easily in my top two. It's a stunning creation from Parfums DelRae, the crown jewel in her line. Well done.

Yes, I agree, an unresistable beautiful creamy powdery velvety Iris! It s also the very best of this line, elegant and noble. With the blending notes of sandalwood and ambrette you can even think of a leathery iris! Simply wonderful

bell'inizio pungente e aromaticissimo di ambretta e sandalo che presto si assesta su una polverosa nota di iris lievemente speziata. molto buono.

This is such a comfort scent to wear! It clings to you just like a second skin and adapts to your moods almost perfectly. It is silky, smooth and is a very soft iris with a touch of green. Modern adn unobtrusive it is your most cherished silk underwear. This would be the perfume you'd reach for when you're traveling to make an unfamilar place feel like your own hometown. It soothes your senses and cuddles up to you at night. Wear this scent for youself and feel like the mistress of Chenonceau with it's beautiful gardens and dewy irises. This isn't a scent for everyone just like other perfumes on the market. If you're thinking of giving off a seductive vibe then think twice about using this. There are others out there that will do the job. This one is an escape route from the busy days in your life and is perfect for almost any occasion. Wear it to opera, going for a walk or even just as scent you can snuggle up to with your beloved. People seem to find this scent to disappear and of course I understand this may be due to skin chemistry but when I thought that it left me, every now and then it would come back and haunt me. It's definitely there! Maybe that's why it's called Mythique. It eludes you until it wants to be noticed. Rather than have a perfume that's always clogging your nose this one comes to you unobtrusively and leave you wondering who it was that smelt so divine. I recommend this perfume for those who want something different from the generic brands and since not many people know about this one, it's special on a whole other level. Give this one a try if you want to be comforted, relax after a busy day and be surrounded by a fresh garden littered with the orange gold flecks of the setting sun ;)

Mythique opens alright with the pasty orris root, fresh ivy and the nutty ambrette note. The alcohol smell persists during the first minute. Then jasmine blurs things up. I'd describe this whole experience as interesting rather than enjoyable. I really don't know what to think of a leafy powdery nutty scent. But within an hour this expensive niche perfume turns into a terrible thing on my skin. The best way I can describe it is the smell of worn straw mat mixed with a hint of sweat. Exactly what you'd smell like on the hottest day on a tropical island lying in bed sweating your life away. The jasmine indole and patchouli mixed poorly I suppose, but where has that pasty orris gone??? A big no for me. I'll come back to edit if I finally find my creamy iris scent, but this is not creamy nor spectacular, especially after the dry down. Please test before buying.
