Iris in the most conservative way
If you like your irises creamy, this is not your scent. After the fresh, flowery opening, it's very powdery (I hardly get any patchouli from my skin, from my clothes, yes, the next day there was a nice waft of woodyness).
When I smell this I see a white vanity with one of those big oval mirrors, in a style that was called elegant decades ago, in some specific environments. On the vanity a big ivory, bone or wooden round box with a painted violet on it in a faded purple: the talc powder of madame. Madame is a well respected woman and house wife, a good host for her guests, she uses her powder only on Sunday's before dressing for church and on special occasions.
For me this was too much talc powder, too much violet, too boring, too much of an 'old lady' vibe to me (for reference: I am nearly 46, so rather a 'old' than a 'young' lady). Powdered iris used to be mixed in with talc powder, this is exactly how I imagine that was smelling.
