Very helpful Review 5

Iris Violet perfume is one of the best in the category

In terms of smell - I have no words, everything I write will only diminish this amazing smell.

Iris and violet that blend into such an amazing powdery scent.

Yes, the performance is not exciting, the longevity is average plus.
The sillage is medium and close to the skin.

Unfortunately, the production of this amazing perfume has been discontinued.
And I recommend to anyone who can find it - to buy it.

For me, 8.5/10.

Iris elite where are u?

tested using a sample box from the brand, I saw a good rating for this perfume.

the opening is chaotic it smells of an old smell, like a person who puts on perfume to mask bad smells.

fortunately there is a good smell of iris which masks this a little, then after 2 hours or more it evolves and I end up with a copy of the versace iris d elite which is very pleasant probably thanks to the iris and amber also present in versace perfume.

what a shame to have to go through this first phase before getting this good smell.
a more masculine perfume, more for autumn and winter. the sillage is medium and the duration correct although less long than the elite iris.

a good alternative which ended up convincing me.

The True Love Of The Queen

One automatically stumbles upon the bottle of Legend while browsing the brand's bottle images. It prominently features on the homepage of the perfume house. No other bottle has a bust as a crown. No other fragrance is called Legend and is meant to represent Queen Boudicca.

A strong woman who rose up for her homeland, her family, her people, and above all against oppression. A woman who demanded equality, recognition. And for that, she faced only mockery and violence from the Roman conquerors against herself, her daughters, and her people. A guerrilla queen who took revenge with the same brutality she had experienced herself. And thus claimed her place in history forever.

What should a warrior queen's fragrance be like? Certainly not floral-gourmand. Life was harsh. War has always been. The land and the people did not smell of flowers. Neither did their queen.

It is the ubiquitous violets that grew everywhere in Britain that Boadicea the Victorious likes to mix with woody, smoky oud and musk. An unsweetened, almost rugged DNA. Added to this is an earthiness that gives the fragrance an impression of "after the rain." Damp, fertile soil. Perhaps also disturbed from the battle. Something similar can also be found in the Elaborate.

Somehow, however, BtV also manages to create an aura of dark, armored leather. Like a worn armor. Battle-tanned. Forged to fit its wearer in combat. The oud in combination with the violets is probably responsible for this, as they consistently contribute to this accord throughout the entire fragrance journey. The scent never surprises with big leaps or even animalistic notes. It remains very consistent with moderate sillage and high longevity. One need not fear floral aspects in the sense of a rose-oud.

Legend is a very self-assured fragrance that I would describe as leathery-spicy-smoky.

This Boadicea gives its wearers an honest image of the rugged beauty of a land with history. Connected in the portrait of a strong woman who stood up for what she loved.

Family. Homeland. Honor. Legacy.

This is her fragrance.

Hands to the Sky!

...come on, let's be happy! 10 naked hairdressers! Mallorca is only once a year!

Problem: I smell a violet, and I don't like violet, so: why?
I used to like violets once, but not anymore. I can't really explain why. Suddenly, violet is no longer my thing.
Not long ago, violets and I were still writing nice, fun emails to each other, sending little scent gifts, and treating each other to coffee; everything was so funny and always seen with a wink when violet did something and leaned comically out of the window and so on, I thought violet was great. Loud, but great;
now I find violet totally stupid, it doesn't reach out anymore, the violet, neither do I, well, that's just how it is; I even took all the pictures of the violet, you know, the ones where violet was in, off the mantelpiece and packed them away.
Well, that's what the violet gets, it can see for itself alone for a change.

But violet isn't everything in life; after all, there's still all the other stuff in the pyramid (which unfortunately can't compete with the violet.) Everyone else leaves it the stage.
A stage that's way too big, if you ask me.

Conclusion:
You can stretch and reach as much as you want, and try to grab the stars, if someone doesn't want to, they just don't want to. And tin doesn't make jokes either.
What a shame.

Beautiful start with saffron-orange
Powdery-floral progression through violet & iris
Delicately ambered dry down
Oud adds the special touch
One of the better BdV
