A garden in a bottle
I'm in a garden in summer, the sun is shining down, everything around is green. I'm picking a pea pod straight from the plant, open it up, and it smells incredibly appetizing. That is how Iris de Gris starts: bright, refreshing and oh so natural, it makes me smile within seconds. Reminds me of the days I was little, and the best thing about going to my grandparents' garden was that pea veggie bed, where I could enjoy those young crisply green pea pods.
Not long after, the iris appears. Not the thick, powdery kind, but the light and breezy, grass clippings scented whiff that reminds me of garden air. The world around you suddenly appears drenched in sunshine, the air is cooler and greener, everything feels ripe, juicy, and full of life.
Well, it doesn’t last forever, projection is soft, and longevity is short. But I actually love that. It gives me the chance to spray it again during the day and get a refreshing dose of happiness. Another blast of garden breeze, another relief from the heat, another smile.
This perfume makes me smile, brightens my day, and gives me an instant boost of energy every time I spray it on my skin. It was not love from the first sniff, but the sample ran out way too fast, and I ordered a full bottle, because I couldn't imaging summer without it anymore.
