It smells like a baby wipe, the kind used to clean the backside, yes, that one. It’s a mixed floral with a suede base and a fizzy citrus top. I’m not saying I dislike it, it just doesn’t excite me. It’s a pleasant scent; all of this house’s fragrances are. Of high quality and great complexity. It’s a matter of clicking or not. And this, for me, doesn’t.

I didn’t like it at all. Yes, it’s an overloaded and greasy iris, but even though I like that note, this didn’t agree with me. Perhaps it’s due to my experience with cosmetics, because it smells like old lipstick. What I perceived was a mix of Jordana lipstick (super cheap) with a dry fruity aldehyde base of mezcal (delicious in the drink, but here it makes me feel sick). Afterwards it calms down, but it never quite settles on my skin. Luckily I tested a decant before making a crazy blind purchase. Moderate projection, lasting 8-10 hours.

I absolutely disliked it. It’s an overdone, greasy iris; although I adore that note, here it smells like stale lipstick. Perhaps due to my experience with cosmetics, it feels like a mix of cheap Jordana lipstick with a dry, fruity aldehyde base from mezcal (delicious in a drink, but here it makes me feel unwell). At first it calms down, but it never truly settles on the skin. Thank goodness I tried a decant before making a blind purchase. Moderate projection, lasting 8-10 hours.

This is what niche is… it’s niche. L’Attesa is a perfume with tonnes of creamy iris dominating everything. A light leather gives support alongside a champagne effervescence. Leaning towards unisex-feminine. Good performance, elegant and versatile. Top-tier quality. For those who like iris, we’re talking about the top 3 best so far. It could give a good fight to Panthea Iris by Stephane Humbert Lucas with its masterful powdery iris. Complaining about the price is a silly and hollow argument; if you don’t have money, there are friendlier options like Dior Homme. Fantastic!

Complaining about the price is a hollow argument; if you don’t have money, there are cheaper options like Dior Homme. Fantastic!

This perfume isn’t for me. The champagne note, like in Ambre Russe, turns sour and vinegary for me. It has lots of quality and performs well, but that combination of notes just doesn’t work for me. It has a certain freshness and greenness, the iris somewhat creamy and powdery, with a leather support that’s nothing rough, quite gentle. As I say, it has muuuch quality and phases where you feel you’re wearing something truly different, but given how expensive it is, I don’t see it as a bargain.

Brutal composition. I’ve tried Montecristo and Tango by He, both good, but the first wins. L’attesa is another level of mastery with the iris. Although Prada L’homme and Dior Homme also praise it, none come close to this quality. Iris is one of the most expensive oils in the world, and here they use three types plus water lily root. It opens with creamy iris and a fizzy alcohol, then an hour later turns green, hugging the suede leather. It shines a lot. The only flaw: high price and it only comes in 35 ml. If you like iris, try it, it’s a masterpiece.

For me, it’s fantastic in every way.
