In the iris forest
As dusk falls, she spreads her wings and flies high up. In one of the uppermost treetops between the dark firs she finds a place for the night. She looks up once more at the silvery, seemingly frozen moon before slowly tucking her head under her right wing. Here she is safe from any predators that may be up to mischief in the enchanted, dark iris forest.
The story of this game hen came to mind when I first caught the scent of Frosted Moon on my nose. I seem to be falling prey to a little hype with this perfume. Rightly so, in my opinion. Because this is an incredibly beautiful iris scent that doesn't find so many fans here without reason. Incomprehensible to me once again, why one sets such a fine fragrance.
I first learned to appreciate the scent of angelica with Armani Privés Fil Rouge so right. Similarly, the angelica also comes to the fore here, before iris and ambrette seeds come into play, which let this typical, silvery and iridescent iris appear, as it also knows how to shine in fragrances such as Collection Extraordinaire - Bois d'Iris and consorts. But this fragrance shows us a different, glittering iris forest. Because here we don't have incense as a counterpart, but green notes. Galbanum and vetiver join in, giving the fragrance a harsher edge and creating that typical forest impression in the twilight for me. Despite musky notes, Frosted Moon never gets fluffy or cuddly. This is an iris scent with an edge, yet at no time does it seem dusty or - heaven forbid - even powdery to me.
I love iris scents and have tried quite a few of them, but this one is new and different for me. Like the aforementioned Bois d'Iris, Frosted Moon is not a sillage monster. It comes across as light, delicate and transparent, yet every now and then a gentle whiff grazes the nose. Who expects a too powerful fragrance, is wrong here. If you appreciate the quieter tones, Frosted Moon can take you on a beautiful journey into the iris forest. There, where my wild chicken lives and sleeps high up in the trees.
Many thanks to the faun Floyd for the sample. Give my regards to the wild chicken!
