Everything okay, you beautiful carrot?

Unsuspecting nothing exciting came - as so often - the fragrant carrier pigeon with sharing mail fluttered to me. Slightly annoyed she let some envelopes flop. Among them was also the "wonder box". That's what I like to call the packages, which are laced with very special perfumes... One of them asked me the other day what I would like to test from her collection in addition to the Sharingduft and so I came to Iris Crush.

The statements had made me curious, but with "sweet-powdery" I am careful for the time being. Sweet doesn't always work for me. But it's the goodies in my collection that fascinated me at the first sweet sniff and that didn't cause me any teething troubles.

Scepticism about heliotrope and Tonka, but first and foremost scepticism about the lipstick note! Anticipation of pepper and iris!
Well, and finally he came - this fantastic lipstick! There it is - the carrot in a velvety dress, shimmering butter-softly, with discreet blush and stylishly applied lipstick... I had not expected that. Powder: Yes! If I could touch this powder, it would feel like velvet. Sweet: also! But without spilling over and slightly peppered at the beginning (a dream). This is sweet, just the way I like it!
As velvety as the whole thing is rung in, it will fade away at some point (I don't have any time specifications - the durability was satisfactory for me anyway, let's say for one working day ;-)).
A round thing, I tell you! I'm in love and my wish list has grown
This is my thanks to you, L.! ;-)

Cobbler, stick to your lipsticks!

It's to poke the mouse.
Jimmy Choo, the old high heel hobbyist, I had already put down as a brand in the non-essential drawer shortly after "Flash" Why should I waste a thought at this very moment to also take a look at a fragrance of his that is quite highly priced?
Exactly. No reason present.
Then came the day when, once again driven by my old bottle addiction, I turned my attention to an "Iris Crush". The gaze wandered down to the scent pyramid. Two words inside began to glow and pulsate. Lipstick and heliotrope. My heart rate slowly rose. At random I read the last commentary, a fixer like the one in the mobile phone. Then I researched wildly, where and how and what. "Iris Crush" banged it up in my ears. "Jimmy Choo" held the voice of reason, a distant, thin voice that I could successfully overhear without much effort.
Pah.
I already have so many really great, sexy, oldschool, girly, powdery lipstick scents.
E basta.
Without realizing it, I ordered a bottling. Only when it was in my mailbox a few days later did I realize what I had done. I put myself in great danger! My heart, my poor, corona-scarred heart, just when it is halfway healthy again, this iris comes and crushes it?
I suspected evil And as usual, I'm not troubled by this feeling...
The top note, I did not perceive it as drastically as my pre-commentators. A little pepper, a little pencil, maybe. But then I already glide over to my home port "Boudoir with velvet curtains and feather boas - the roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd"
This is the fragrance that brings back the feminine eroticism of long gone decades, 50s, 60s, but transplanted into the here and now.
Lipstick on - nice, but not so faceted.
French Kiss - girlier, fruity.
Love, Chloé - modern, straighter ...there are a few others I could use for comparison, but that's not the point.
Iris Crush has all the character traits that convince me. The powdery, feminine sweetness of an old lipstick. The glamour of old make-up cream. The morbidity of heliotrope. The crunchy smokiness of tonka..

Oh, and don't forget the iris. Not unlike Iris Ganache's As you have probably recognized easily: Nellycatcher, but something like that.
(And this from a cobbler.)

Red lips need kissing..

In the past, lipsticks simply smelled differently than today. I don't want to say better, but different, kind of intense. As a child of the 60s, the biggest thing for me was to get hold of a mini or samples of lipstick. For me as a little girl that was synonymous with luxury and the big wide world.

Back then, it sounds like I was almost as old as a dinosaur, durability was a priority and care was rather neglected. Today, fortunately, this is a little different, because care and durability are no longer mutually exclusive in the 21st century. So far so good.

Iris Crush opens with a soft peppery note, but the impression of lipstick is also immediately present. Neroli flashes only briefly and very discreetly in the background, only to retreat again quite quickly. I can't perceive freesia, at least not consciously. The heliotrope takes its time with its appearance, but then immediately combines with the lipstick note. In the further course of time the lipstick becomes darker and also somehow creamier, which I attribute to the mixture of patch, musk and tonka. If this is possible at all, an additional shovel of "sensuality" is added.

The lipstick is present during the entire process. It virtually floats above everything, although other components are added. These do not overlay it at any time, but let it become darker and darker over time. From a bright bright red to a dark berry tone, there is no other way to describe the development.

I smell lipstick and see in my mind's eye a Marilyn Monroe with perfectly made-up lips and absolutely sexy "Happy Birthday Mr. President ..." breathing into the microphone. Could you get any sexier?
Iris Crush is sexy, seductive, sensual, erotic and modern. The fragrance has nothing, but absolutely nothing dusty about it, even if this lipstick note reminds me of times long past. Marilyn is an icon that stands for ever and ever for femininity and sexyness. She, and her wonderful movies, will be forever unforgotten and that's exactly what Iris Crush captures perfectly for me
Iris Crush is the first fragrance from Jimmy Choo that came under my nose, but this perfume has captivated me from the very beginning. It went "Boom" right away. The shelf life of more than 10 hours is absolutely not to be despised and easily outlasts a party night. Personally, I see Iris Crush more in a woman, because I don't know any man in my/our circle of acquaintances who would wear the fragrance and for whom it would be even remotely suitable. But that doesn't mean anything, because there are certainly men who would wear the scent and for whom it fits. In my experience, many fragrances on men's skin develop differently and perhaps some men sniff Iris Crush and share their experience with us. It would make me happy.

I was able to get hold of the fragrance as a bottling during a sharing and therefore I cannot rate the flacon. I have never seen it before, but on photos it looks simply beautiful and very noble.

My skin reflects scents very badly and therefore I do not rate the silage, because I never drag a scent trail behind me. Unfortunately

Smooth glide: A scent comparison with "Replica - Lipstick On"

As a confessing lipstick scent lover (what a word ;-) I of course like to write a few words about this new treasure right away.

I am always thinking about what exactly makes this ominous lipstick accord that smells so wonderfully waxy-powdery and mineral-dry.
Unfortunately I have not yet come to an answer in this regard, probably it is the interaction of several fragrances!?
In any case, it is exactly the same smell that gets into your nose when you (put on) some lipsticks, regardless of whether there is something fruity or gourmand around it.

Interestingly, in "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush" this is stored the other way round. The new lipstick collection by Jimmy Choo was perfumed with this scent, here it's "perfume before lipstick".

Right up front: the flacon is an absolute dream. It is made of heavy, facet-cut glass, a solid "gold" plate and a really heavy, high-quality "gold" stubble. The sprayer works well, you can dose with it quite accurately.

Now for the fragrance:
The "nose-apparent" similarity to "Replica - Lipstick On" has already been mentioned in the statements. I have applied the fragrances in parallel and can clearly confirm this impression. They start with the exact same lipstick note, whereas "Replica - Lipstick On" is a little sweeter at the beginning. In both cases I can clearly perceive heliotrope in the top note, the Replica also differs in an existing small fruity nuance; this only sets in later with Jimmy Choo. From the olfactory consistency I perceive the "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush" a bit finer and deeper, maybe more serious, the Replica tends to be more powdery and playful. But the differences are actually quite minimal at this point.

A big shortcoming of all lipstick scents tested so far is, to our regret, the relatively short durability of this special note.
When I apply a fragrance and this lipstick accord blows into my nose, I automatically start to wait how long this note will be noticeable. So far it has unfortunately always disappeared quite quickly.

Also "Replica - Lipstick On" belongs to this category. After about half an hour it develops more and more in the direction of a cuddly powdery iris scent. This is quite nice, but only reminds of the top note in gentle aftershocks.

In the statements it was already mentioned that the lipstick chord on "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush" fortunately lasts for a long time. So I went to the test with great hope and cheerfulness.

After about 1 hour, I first had the impression that the lipstick aspect is also getting more and more into the background. It follows with both fragrances a gentle gliding over into two each very nice fragrances, which are still quite similar to each other. The Jimmy Choo, too, develops a slightly fruity nuance in the course of the fragrance, which then even comes out more clearly than with the replica. While this fruity note has something cherryy about it for me in the Replica, it gets slightly buried in the Jimmy Choo. I hardly notice this fruity note in the projection, it is more present when sniffing directly on the skin.

"Replica - Lipstick On" is perhaps a ticking warmer, more airy, powdery and cuddly and sweeter in comparison. Heliotrope remains more present at the Jimmy Choo. In the base I can smell the patchouli more out of the replica, which gives it a slightly spicy and earthy nuance. The astonishing similarity between the two fragrances remains, however,

When I sniff directly at the applied spot of the "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush", I can actually still clearly perceive the original lipstick scent after several hours (!) - yay, a real novelty! Unfortunately, in the projection this reaches me only very gently. Here it surprisingly reminds me a bit of "Panthea Iris". They share a certain synthetic touch, which I don't find unpleasant. I will test this against, if I can verify it, often the memory is deceiving
During the parallel testing of "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush" and "Replica - Lipstick On" the image of two waves of scent came to my mind. They start at the same place, oscillate for a long time with very similar frequency and amplitude, sometimes the scent waves overlap, then they glide gently apart again without moving too far away from each other.

All in all, the Jimmy Choo is already clearly ahead in terms of intensity and duration of the lipstick note. The replica develops rather into a general powdery-cuddly sweet make-up scent.

The silage and hours of shelf life are very satisfactory for both fragrances.

Conclusion:
I vary strongly between: I'm not sure if you really "need" both fragrances in view of the described similarities and at the same time the "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush" is already clearly ahead of me. It is a bit more valuable overall and holds the record for the durability of the lipstick accord of all lipstick scents I have tested so far.

And since "Replica - Lipstick On" seems to be out of production anyway, its fans now find a wonderful, unfortunately also a bit more expensive alternative with "Seduction Collection - Iris Crush".
