Silver Skin

I personally like this more than the esteemed Iris Shot, which was a bit on the mature side for me... it was a serious perfume. This is relatively more easy going —cool yet warm with a gourmand touch from the vanilla and benzoin. Fabrice Pellegrin is no slouch when it comes to his creations, even if they aren’t all for me. That slight metal/cold aspect to the profile could be read as “designery”—as there is sometimes that remnant in mainstream scents. I do however like the contrast of warm/cold...otherwise, it would be too cozy/edible. The scent reminds me of Tom Ford Metallique, although Silver Skin smells of better ingredients and is not as sweet as TF. The Iris here, being a bit on the dry side, keeps it from being too saccharine. The bottle is high quality—it is as substantial and lux as it looks.

This smells exactly like recently blown out candles atop a vanilla cake with chilled buttery frosting. The contrast of the smoldering candle wick mixed in with the sweet smell of birthday cake creates such a "feel good" nostalgic vibe. I can't think of anyone that would find this offensive. The final dry down is a smooth, steely-cool vanilla. Performance is great too. 10/10.

Did not at all expect to love this as much as I do. It's this gorgeously soft, airy fragrance with a dusty almost forest-like undertone. This is definitely for a clean girl except the girl is a (sometimes offensively blunt) woodland fairy. The pink pepper top and vanilla base make this very wearable, but the iris, orris, and resin make it fun and unique.

Smells like Metallique with an Iris note. Gorgeous if you enjoy that type of scent...like melted vanilla ice cream next to clean laundry with a dose of iris.

Silver skin is a dissent scent. It's is like Silver on the skin. Bit of iris ,very subtle, gentle inoffensive fragrance. Sweet and vanilla ice ream like. 6/10.
