Heavenly Iris

From the very outset I get a big dose of iris with incense, accompanied by the sweetness of berries. As it dries down you begin to detect Cypress as well as the powderiness of the musk and iris with the incense accompanying the fragrance all the way. The longevity is amazing as well as the sillage. The bottle is pretty nice as well with the wooden cap.

Miss Hugues from Downtown Abbey

This is the perfume of a dignified lady, she's in her late 40', she knows what she's doing and people respect her. She's a bit firm, don't smile so much, but you know you can count on her whatever trouble you go through. She goes often to the graveyard, you don't know why but you suspect she lost her husband. Hence why she doesn't smile so much.
It's not exactly her story but it could be the perfume of Miss Hugues from Downtown Abbey.
To talk about the perfume itself, it opens on a sharp cypress note, but it goes away quickly. Then a pencil shaving iris and incense appear hand in hand and stay there for a while. The scent is linear which I like. It becomes a bit more fruity or sweet with time, improving the scent even more.
It's a beautiful perfume for those who don't like heavy incense like me. Encens suave chokes me for example. It's not a joyful scent, it's a bit serious, like someone with bright blue eyes looking straight at your from afar, making you a bit uncomfortable. It's mysterious, makes you curious and you want to know what that person sees in you that keeps her eyes on you like this.
I'm not so full on metaphors for other perfumes reviews, but that one is special.

Calm...

This fragrance has a calming and grounding effect on me. I love incense, and the iris is also beautiful! It feels mystical, and I actually feel transported to a temple in winter! Unfortunately, the sillage is not as pronounced as I usually like, and it is not present all day, but I had to have it anyway. Because in love. :D

A Basic, Incense Scent, yet quite authentic. On the Light side. Quintessentially Niche( ...or left of center)

Stone temple on dry forest floor. Sweet silver iris veils wafting incense. Gently glowing, mineral sparkling. Fine!

Scent sister of Chieffos Lye with a bit less sweetness. Beautiful, soft, bright, and close to the skin. However, I already have too many similar fragrances.
