Overdose

The predominant note is a type of iris very similar to that of Dior Homme 2007 or Givenchy Gentleman Reserve, although less sweet. DH and GGR are gourmand fragrances; Overdose is not. It's darker, more serious, even more complex than GGR. It has a base that softens the iris in favor of other notes from the fragrance pyramid that I can't clearly identify, but it mentions vanilla, in this case without the sugar. In my opinion, Overdose is a good alternative when you're looking for an iris-based fragrance, mainly because of its price and quality: DH 2007 is no longer manufactured, and GGR has very intense middle and base notes, which makes it a bit common compared to those found in recently launched fragrances, in addition to feeling somewhat flat due to its very rapid development. It might be redundant if you already own other iris-based fragrances. If you like the collection offered by Mazzola (the nose behind Solonoi), you can find more original and fun options. In summary: compared to Dior Homme 2007 and Givenchy Gentleman Reserve, Overdose is the best.
