Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Straight out of the bottle it smells like violet jam, despite not being listed. Later, a fresh iris emerges (reminding me of hidden aldehydes) alongside a mimosa, which is the dominant note for me. There’s also a slightly sharp raspberry note, similar to Flamenco but much subtler and less sweet. The result is powdery and clean, yet it hasn’t won me over. Those purple flowers and the mimosa can be a matter of taste depending on the blend; in this case, it simply doesn’t work for me. It’s unisex, leaning slightly feminine, with moderate projection and lasting around 10 hours on my skin. Scent 5.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 6.5/10, Value for money 5/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy it again? I haven’t purchased it.
It opens with mimosa, followed by iris; the rest of the notes are merely anecdotal. The opening is very alcoholic, then after an hour it turns into a pleasant fresh bushy scent that lasts another hour, before finally smelling like detergent. The projection is minimal throughout. It lasts 5 hours. I wouldn’t recommend it.
It smells very similar to Frederic Malle’s Iris Poudre, but less aldehydic and more subtle. At first, ylang-ylang dominates with echoes of Chanel No. 5. As it dries down, the iris takes centre stage. The soapy character doesn’t disappear, making it powdery, creamy, and above all, very soapy. There might be unlisted aldehydes. The mimosa lingers in the background, adding a delicate touch, while the base features a soft woody blend with a faint fruity note that I barely notice. The performance is moderate: good longevity (6-8 hours) but light projection. Still, it can be detected in bursts for several hours. It’s unisex, ideal for everyday wear in spring and summer.
