Saffron & Iris 4711 2018

The Acqua Colonia scents have partly blown me away - partly they have also made me feel a bit gloomy.
That's why I proceed with caution when testing.

But the saffron - iris combination is very successful.

Just two ingredients - but they pack a punch.

Intense and powdery - earthy, my surprised nose is greeted by the iris, which still has its roots in the earth.
This is how my autumn garden smells, after a rain shower has just passed over it.
The saffron blends in gently - and refines the fragrance.

I don't need to trudge around in the wet garden, but I bring it into the house through the scent.
An outdoor - indoor fragrance, so to speak.

"Relaxing" is written on the cover - and I have to agree with that.

Saffron & Iris radiates calm and tranquility - just like a walk in the soft autumn rain.
