Iris Shot is an iris bomb over bitter almond, lots of almond and plenty of iris, all held together by a fine leather. It gives me a sensation of bitter almond powder; it’s exquisite, original and elegant; it blew my mind from the first spray. There are few things like it, a brilliant exclusive creation without veering into the weird, but be warned: you have to be a fan of iris and almonds, because that’s all there is. Performance without complaints, but if you let it macerate for a few months, the change is brutal.
What really grabs me is that iris blended with almonds, followed by those carrot seed and cardamom spices. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is that new leather furniture base, which makes it feel too masculine. But the trail and longevity are brutal on my skin.
Unique scent, my favourite from this house so far. It opens fruity and slightly spicy, smelling distinct from the start, perhaps due to the carrot seeds. The star soon emerges: an almond-like iris, more than floral, quite buttery, with a marked yet clean and easy-to-wear leather note that adds character without being overly sweet, almost edible. Totally addictive. Projection is high for the first hour or two, then moderate for another four hours, followed by an intimate trail. Lasts 8 to 10 hours on skin. For me, it’s 100% unisex. Versatile yet elegant, better suited for autumn/winter or when it’s not too hot. An unusual iris perfume that I absolutely love; I’ve never tried anything like it. A must-try for lovers of this note.
Seductive, distinguished, silky and embracing. The initial spray is quite powdery and dry due to the carrot seeds, with spices like cardamom and pink pepper receding into the background. Here, the iris, carrot seeds, almonds and leather truly shine. The iris moves away from the typical rose and violet profile; here it is earthy, bitter and pale, taking centre stage with a creamy, velvety texture. The base features clean, tanned leather – imagine a luxury wallet in beige and brown tones. It also smells of creamy almond paste or powder alongside the iris butter, with woody notes and a sweet dry-down that makes it warm, sensual and elegant, always anchored by that leather/suede in the background. It finishes with darker vetiver and cedar. A must-buy for iris or leather fans; they will be delighted. Performance is excellent.

The iris moves away from the typical rose and violet notes; instead, it is earthy, bitter and pale, a protagonist with a rich, velvety texture. The base features clean, tanned leather, reminiscent of a luxury wallet in beige and coffee tones. It also smells of creamy almond paste or powder alongside the iris butter, with woods and a sweet dry-down that makes it warm, sensual and elegant, always anchored by that leather/suede in the background. It finishes with darker vetiver and cedar. An essential purchase for iris or leather lovers; they will be delighted. The performance is excellent.
