Endless belly rubs for velvet paws! And Catwoman would be thrilled!
Hello and good evening, you fragrance lovers! Today I’m reporting on a scent that primarily smells of iris and thus comes across as very, very soft. With such softly scented fragrances, I always think of one of two things:

Either the gentle and delicate skin of you ladies… that was clear… :D
Or: the soft and fluffy fur of cats…

Well, since I don’t have a girlfriend, my first thought is the gentle “belly rubs” of cats rather than the touch of a woman’s skin… *sigh* :DD I just wonder what is actually softer?! :D Considering how hard a woman can hit, the answer should be clear…! :DD

But: After all, cats are wonderful animals, as you know too. Even now, as I’m typing this, I keep looking behind me, as my bed is behind me and my big, admittedly quite fat cat has made himself comfortable on it. And since he’s currently sleeping and his belly is rising and falling with his breathing, he looks particularly peaceful and cute, so I really have to restrain myself from getting up repeatedly to pet him… after all, first of all, the animal needs some peace from us humans, and secondly, this text also needs to be finished at some point.

Well then, let’s get to the fragrance.

The Fragrance:
The fragrance starts with a sweet, powdery, and slightly floral iris with light citrus notes in the background. The sweetness likely comes primarily from the jasmine, while the violets and iris are initially hard to distinguish from one another…
Shortly after, the mentioned citrus notes fade, but otherwise, the fragrance remains as described, where you can best smell the iris among the listed notes later on. The fragrance is generally very gentle and soft, making it very pleasant, and it actually stays mostly as described without changing much. All I could add is that it smells a bit creamy at the beginning but becomes more powdery towards the end.

The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is rather subtle and will therefore only be somewhat detectable from close up.
The longevity is also not particularly long, as the fragrance gradually fades after four to five hours.

The Bottle:
The milky glass bottle is cylindrical with a slightly thicker base, on which the brand name is etched into the glass. On the front, the fragrance name is printed directly. The cap is cylindrical at the bottom and has a vertically standing disc at the top. Overall, a nice, clean-looking bottle.

Hmm… as I already mentioned in the introduction, I can’t help but think of not only women’s skin with such fragrances… but also the soft fur of cats!
Uuuhh… Catwoman must thus be the ultimate… uh… “petting thing”… uh he he he :DD

Because the fragrance is so gentle and soft that it simply comes across as very pleasant, with a large dose of cleanliness, as iris scents almost always bring.

You could use this fragrance either during the day for yourself as a subtle casual or work scent, or in the evening to relax or even sleep, if you want an unobtrusive, gentle note in your nose for a while. But very sensitive noses might want to be cautious with the dosage! The fragrance is not strong at all, but I have read from one or two people that such powdery scents can cause them a bit of a headache over time… so you’ll just have to see how it works for you, but a test is worth it because it smells lovely!

Hmm… what kind of fragrance would Catwoman wear? Maybe Felanilla by Pierre Guillaume? Or perhaps a scent named Bastet (the cat goddess in Egyptian mythology)? Well, maybe a fragrance of Catwoman even appeared in the comics at some point… if only I could find that now… hmmm :DD

Anyway, I’m done for now and wish you a lovely evening. And pet your little animals if you have any, even if that might be a bit tricky with fish and such :D

Running away.
From the reflection.
From reality.
From the truth.

Denying.
The reflection.
Reality.
The truth.

Forgetting.
The reflection.
Reality.
The truth.

And the reflection shatters.
Thousands of tiny shards.
Glistening.
Like tears.

Cotton-soft.
A powdery mist.
Gentle breath
Of healing.

Assembles.
The mirror shards.
The break of reality.
The lie of truth.

Without edges and corners.
Simply existent.
Quiet and loving.
In a delicate veil of blossoms.

Comforting embrace
On tender soles,
Enveloping
In the cloak of acceptance.

The reflection
Smiles
With cracks and scars
Full of hope.

Floral, powdery, creamy, and a bit sweet. I also imagine a little woody twig... Very spring-like.

More violet than iris, more cream than powder, more laundry-fresh than spring-fresh.
Rather nice than special...

Innocent violet covered by iris powder. Dreamy, carefree! Unfortunately, sillage and longevity are weak.

Delicately floral with a hint of Nivea. Perfect for days when you want to smell clean and elegant.

Delicate, sweet-powdery iris that becomes warmer and louder over time. Jasmine lingers in the background + a slight rubbery note. Very pleasant.

Iris at its softest and most elegant - too bad it fades away in an instant...

A beautiful, subtle iris scent, very close to the skin and unfortunately fades quickly - still recommendable for this mini price!
