Fleur d'Iris

I first came across this about ten years ago, at a moment when I felt I had outgrown my “edgy” style. I was a freshly engaged kindergarten teacher who did swing dancing and had just moved out of a shared flat into a better one with my fiancé. I had decided it was time to embrace everything floral: dresses, curtains, couches, and fragrances. Looking back, I had never been more naïve. Kind of like this fragrance. I wouldn’t call it outdated, but it’s fair to say it feels almost vintage and juvenile at the same time. I imagine a young version of my nana wearing it and that’s exactly what I love about it. It leans toward the floral, baby powder side of iris. It’s my nana, but in her teenage years, making flower crowns for her best friend. And somehow, that innocence is exactly why I still love it.

New version is in EdP concentration. There are two formulations that I have encountered. * Actual notes on the firm's website: Top: Tangerine, Angelica Middle: Iris, Violet, Cedarwood, Incense Base: Musk, Teak, Tonka Bean Absolute * Notes shown on the box: Top: Tangerine, Angelica Middle: Iris, Violet Base: Musk, Teak Wood, Tonka Bean Fresh and clean. It's like a more floral version of Prada Iris, with less depth, longevity and sillage.

Wow, I really love it ! It is the freshest scent out of all Solinotes so far (at least out of all the ones I already have)! On a cool side , a little mysterious, can become very personal. Smells interesting and complex enough (for a bottle for 20 $). I bought it haphazardly , but I think it will quickly become one of my favorites. Like a fresh breeze on an early spring evening....

This is lovely! Softer than Prada Infusion d'Iris, not quite as sweet as Jacques Fath Irissime- very good potency and longevity- all that, for such an incredible price! For some reason, while wearing this, I keep thinking of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes..."If You Don't Know Me By Now"... go figure-

At first spray, I thought I caught a hint of Prada Infusion d'Iris but it quickly blossomed into a lovely purple scent that reminds me much more of Prada Infusion d'Amande but with actual lasting power, so this is a blind buy win for me. Rating: 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒 Cruelty free 🐾
