Ibitira

Just added to my collection & WOW! When most think of the house of Xerjoff, they might automatically think of Nio, Uden, Kobe or Richwood.... If you're a lady, you might think of Damarose, Elle or More Than Words... This little hidden gem though is IMO one of the most criminally underrated in the line... It is flying so far under the radar that NO ONE is really talking about it... The reviews bear this out... ☹️ In a nutshell, you get a gorgeous, smooth Iris with a creamy & slightly soapy Vetiver and sweet lemons.... As it is the case with ALL of Sergio's creations- whether you like them or not, it's blended to perfection... Other prominent notes for me are Musk & Violet Leaf...... When I came to this page and saw that it is marketed towards women, I was really puzzled... It's totally unisex and if you really enjoy frags in the DNA of Bois D'Argent, Bal D'Afrique or Prada Infusion D'Homme/Iris, you'll just luxuriate in this gem... For me, one of the BEST Iris based fragrances I've ever gotten my nose on... Ladies, it could be your dressed-up, purple gown alternative to Prada's Infusion D'Iris and gents it could be your upscale alternative to Dior Homme Intense! ***Rating: Solid 8/10

I thought the same as many others; Ibitira is like a really good version of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris, but made with better quality ingredients....creating a deeper, fuller and more long lasting iris scent. My sample is from a dauber, and there was just enough left to give me one full wearing and I’m loving it. Years ago I wore exclusively Infusion d’Iris in the spring and cooler summer days, but this is so much better. My best guess is that the creators at Xerjoff we’re using Infusion d’Iris as a template for Ibitira. And what a beauty they created. It’s the best of iris with very little powder, and thankfully no aldehydes. It’s green and fresh with lots of sunny lemons and bergamot in the opening. Dry down is lovely iris, rose only makes an appearance in the base. Last thing I needed was to fall in love with another perfume, especially an expensive one. This is simply my favorite take on Iris. Classy and refined, I love it.

Iris, rose, neroli and vanilla combo. A little bit of citrus in the opening and quickly become softer within seconds. So soft almost sits close to skin. A very classic piece. Sillage and projection are modarate and soft. Wear much wont offend anybody tho. Longevity up to 6 hours for 2 sprays. Just reapply every 4 hours to maintain the longevity. Imho, Ibitira perform very moderate, it's beyond my expectation from Xerjoff house compare to Bouquet Idealle or La Tosca, but Ibitira has this classic Iris scent yet simply gorgeous. Never thought that i would fell in love with Ibitira. The smell is comforting, peacefull. That is why i managed to own 2 bottles for back up. Ibitira suitable for night wear or a date perhaps. Dont buy it if you looking for a beast mode performance..

Ibitira is described as a rose iris combo. On me its more of a floral (jasmine and rose together) and iris combo. Vetiver is not so strong, making it creamy and smooth. It is perfectly feminine and luxurious. It lasts around five to six hours and has a moderate sillage. I am bold with the spray on this one since it is a delicate fragrance and does not annoy others around you. Great to wear in spring, summer and fall, though it comes with a hefty price tag. But then it is one of the best fragrances around in this genre.

Ibitira is a scent for a woman who is always looking put together. Her hair, makeup and overall appearance are impeccable and elegant. She is well spoken, very intelligent and kind. I love this scent so much. It is a floral scent all the way but with restraint and class. I would love to own a bottle soon. As of right now, I’ll use my small sample I got from Xerjoff and enjoy it immensely. It’s a beautiful and luminous floral feminine perfume! Classic elegance in a bottle!! Definitely full bottle worthy!!

EN I discovered this company at the fair Fragranze 2012 in Florence Italy. It wasn't easy to find then the store that sells fragrances to the regular customer like me, but in the end I was able to buy the whole line from the site ausliebezumduft.de I must say that there is a system to buy perfumes Xerjoff paying the relatively low price (the normal price of the bottle of 50 ml is up to US$ 260-325). Since the Shooting Stars line and the Oud Stars line are the masterpieces of artistic perfumery, it is worth to buy the Shooting Stars - Discovery Sets - Part One and Part Two and Oud Stars Collection - Discovery Set that cost US$ 208 for each of the first two sets and US$ 254 for the Oud collection set. Of course there are the Discovery Sets for XJ17/17 Collection (US$ 331) and XJ Casamorati 1888 Vintage Collection (US$ 182), but personaly I do not like the last two lines, so I didn't order them. In each set there are 6 fragrances of 15ml each and therefore the price for a volume of 50 ml drops to US$116 for Shooting Stars collection and to US$142 for Oud Stars collection instead of USD$ 260 and US$ 325 for full version bottles. IT Ho scoperto questa casa di profumi alla fiera Fragranze 2012 a Firenze. Non era poi facile di trovare il negozio che vendesse i profumi ad un mortale come me, ma alla fine sono riuscito ad acquistare tutta la linea dal sito ausliebezumduft.de Devo dire che c'è un sistema per comprare i profumi di Xerjoff al prezzo relativamente molto basso (il prezzo normale della bottiglietta di 50 ml arriva a circa €200-250). Visto che tutta la linea Shooting Stars e la linea Oud Stars sono i capolavori della profumeria artistica, vale la pena a comprare il Shooting Stars - Discovery Sets - Part One and Part Two e Oud Stars Collection - Discovery Set che costano €160 per ciascuno dei primi due e €195 per la collezione Oud. Ovviamente esistono anche i Discovery Sets per XJ17/17 Collection (€255) e per XJ Casamorati 1888 Vintage Collection (€140), ma quest'ultimi a me non piacciono. Nel ciascun set ci sono 6 profumi nelle bottigliette di 15ml e quindi il prezzo per un volume di 50ml crolla a €89 per Shooting Stars collection e €109 per Oud Stars invece di €200 per Shooting Stars e di €250 per Oud Stars.

This starts out light and citrusy, more or less like any other light and summery citrus scent, the kind that last an hour or so and then are gone. Just when I expected it to disappear, though, it developed into a clean, rosy musk with hints of fresh-baked sugar cookies. The notes suggest that this is supposed to be a floral scent, but whatever flowers are present are overpowered by the musk. The whole thing lasts 4-5 hours with moderate sillage. To me, this is primarily a white musk scent, pleasant, restrained, and well made but not remarkable in any way. It’s one of those conservative, clean-smelling perfumes that I could wear to work when I want something low-key that won’t offend anyone, but there’s no reason why I should choose it over any of its reasonably priced counterparts.

Iris and citrus Not a good combination in my book The iris here is very similar to Valentino’s or diors iris , closer to Valentino The citrus here ruins the fragrance for me Longevity is great Being completely honest unless you don’t care about money and you really like iris and citrus then you are better off saving your money

An amazing scent that reminds me alot of Prada Infusion D'Iris EdP, Ibitira is a little bit rounder and softer. Longlived on my skin. Worth the price? Not sure - Prada is a bit cheaper and almost a twin-scent. Sorry to say I can't wear Ibitira - my allergy say no.

Lemony iris that smells powdery fresh, musky clean, and calming comfort. I have Apollonia (spicy balsamic iris) and Irisss (carroty, nutty, vetiverish iris), but somehow the iris scent in all of them three speaks "floating" and is less bold. Still, I love the iris scent on the Ibitira more, compared to Apollonia and Irisss. I have alternatives if you just like me, want a more "colorful" spectrum. Compared to Ibitira, try TT Eclix (for extra lemon freshness & violet sweetness). Compared to Apollonia, try Glossier You (less balsamic & extra spiciness). And compared to Irisss, try Creed Love in Black (for extra violet).

This is my favorite (currently) rose/iris combo. Reviewers before me pretty much summed up my love and admiration for this fragrance. Its breathlessly sophisticated, smooth, fresh, and somewhat bitter in the background. Perfectly balanced fragrance, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Xerjoff. The playfulness of the Neroli and Lemon are beautifuly paired with the Vetiver and Iris. The touch of rose really rounds everything out and gives it a touch of powder that helps balance the iris, Neroli and vetiver. While still maintaining that touch of bitterness in the background. Just Beautiful.

I've seen this somewhere cheap n was semi interested in blind buying so looking around at reviews.. & they are NO HELP. Similar to Prada's Iris? So pencil shavings then. Like babies? OK, do people mean actual baby or just the products lots of mad humans smother their babies in to ruin their own lovely warm natural smell? & by diapers/nappies are you meaning actually fecal/urinous or just the smell of a modern plasticky disposable nappy fresh out of a packet? (@riddleskitty) If I had to guess at this thing from other's opinions I'd say Johnson's baby products with added wood?

You take prada amber pour homme and add iris and bam you got xerjoff ibitara.i know ibitara is more complex then prada as in it morphs like 3 times and prada stays fairly linear but to me they are both very similar just tone down the soapyness on prada and add iris and they would be almost identical. I sprayed one on each hand and from smelling one then the other i mean i pick up differences but if you don't want to pay $260 for the xerjoff go with prada amber pour homme.

Ibitira is a perfect dance of soapy fresh iris blended with a touch of raw yet smooth woody vetiver. The entire scent is found sitting on a beautifully disguised base of vanilla, creating an undercurrent of natural sweetness separating this Iris queen from the rest of its competition. Ibitira bridges all the gaps of a feminine floral scent to an easily perceived clean unisex. Ibitira is a true Iris masterpiece.

I am sure that this review will be mine and mine alone. You know how scents can provoke a memory and take you back to your past? Well, for me this perfume smelled just like my babies did AFTER a diaper change. The problem is the smell of freshly changed babies also invokes the smell of dirty babies.

So sad that this has been discontinued :-( Prada's iris smells cheap compared to this one... How I wish they didn't discontinue! If anyone is selling their Ibitira - please pm me.

Remove 80% of the citrus and double the iris note from Prada Infusion d'Iris then you get Ibitira. It is still nice of course but is it worth $300 a bottle? I wonder...

SOLD!If anyone is interested, I have 1pc 100ml bottles from the vintage edition 100ml/trial bottle both have the dust bag and box
