Panthea Iris

This has been the most challenging perfume for me of what I have. I sprayed it a lot outside and I hoped that something would happen. I put in on sale after trying it few times but fortunately I set the price so high that no one bought it. 😂 After many months I took it from the box and sprayed it on my clothes (tried earlier as well) and I was totally surprised! It started to bloom and shine in the way how people who love it describe it. 💙 Panthea Iris is astonishing beautiful no doubt. It’s powdery, subtle, a little bit soapy Iris. It’s elegant, refined and a little bit paltry but in the same time it feels luxurious. It’s not buttery or creamy Iris, it’s clear, airy and dry and there is something melancholic in it. The scent is not complex and it doesn’t change so much from the opening until the dry down but it’s not bad at all in this case. It performs in the best way on clothes and I picked up one of my favorite evening dresses which I made maybe 20 years ago for celebrating Finnish Independence Day (the holes for my arms has modified bigger since that 💪🏽 😅 ) and I still wear it every Independence Day. Panthea Iris matches perfectly with that long Sapphire blue velvety dress. 🇫🇮 Top: Pink Berries - Italian Bergamot and Tangerine - White Tea Heart: Iris Absolute - Jasmine - Violet Base: White Musk - Tonka bean - Sandalwood - Patchouli - Iris butter Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful.

Divine Serenity 🧘🌬️ Panthea Iris is a flanker of the original Panthea from the house of SHL. To understand this fragrance I will briefly talk about the original Panthea first. I adore the smell of Panthea which is very pure and delicate. Panthea is a beautiful representation for "The scent of Heaven". Powdery Iris accompanied by all subtle notes of white jasmine combined with delicate dewy and green notes from white tea and violet . I guess Panthea can be called as the skin scent of the Goddess. It is almost non perfumy but has an enchanting smells when get closed to the wearer. I love wearing Panthea when I want to enjoy the smells of my surroundings without feeling naked of not wearing perfume. Panthea Iris has all the ingredients of Panthea enriched by notes of patchouli and iris butter in the base. The iris absolute composition is also been amped up and very pronounce here. All these additions resulting in more perfumy smelling than the original. Iris as the highlight feels more powdery, the dewy and creamy nuance is also very noticeable. It gives the wearer feeling of divine serenity. That's why I love wearing this to bed because it slow down my mind and body state into a calm being. Do you have a spesific fragrance for bedtime? I highly recommend this one to try and hopefully you get a restful sleep and sweet dream from Panthea Iris 🛌💭. #vscentorientreview

Comparing FREDERIC MALLE: Iris Poudre Pierre Bourdon (2000) and STÉPHANE HUMBERT LUCAS: Panthea Iris (2019) (Review made earlier) These two clear, sophisticated and soapy scents are in the same category. Both has a clean white musky base and they are very subtle, elegant and refined. They are airy and dry. They are powdery but it’s rather sharp and cold powder than soft and warm compared to those “baby vibe” powdery scents. Iris Poudre is even colder and drier than Panthea Iris. There is a lot of aldehydes in IP and it creates a frosty, super fresh and bright nuances. In Panthea Iris there are pink berries in the top notes which gives a hint of the sweetness to the scent and Orris butter in the base softens the whole concoction a little bit. Do I need the both? Yes. But I don’t know if it’s necessary- try them and decide. 💙 Iris Poudre: Top: Rose - Violet - Ylang-Tlang Heart: Iris (Aldehydes) Base: Sandalwood - Musk - Tonka bean Panthea Iris: Top: Pink Berries - Italian Bergamot and Tangerine - White Tea Heart: Iris Absolute - Jasmine - Violet Base: White Musk - Tonka bean - Sandalwood - Patchouli - Iris butter Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful.

The opening & heart of Panthea Iris showcases the real powdery elegance of violets wrapped in rich unadulterated iris butter displaying an aura of sophistication with a vintage flare that is nearly impossible to put into words, something you will no longer find in today’s perfumery for the most part, the depth of the composition throughout the wearing is unmatched, the sweetness of tonka and the sensuality of musk in the base dressing the elegant floral arrangement further reinforces the robust fragrance that can only be described as the perfect work of art. A fascinating formula that unifies vintage and modern , elegance and seduction all in one.

How many times are there violent storms that seem to never end and scare us? But then, as if by magic, everything calms down and the rainbow appears. The ancient Greeks identified this beautiful phenomenon with the deity Iris. Beautiful, graceful even though she was the sister of the harpies. A great transposition that can be made to life. Panthea Iris is a wonderful fragrance, with a much more accentuated Iris than Panthea, from the same brand, powdery, very elegant, with a citrusy and sparkling opening. The Iris that makes me rev up. Truly wonderful. “Morpheus and Iris” painted by Guerin.
