Iris likes carrots
So that would be my first "properly" tested scent of Montale. Before that I have tested a few fragrances in passing and was anything but enthusiastic. Far too rude, far too much oud or aoud, as you might call it with Montale. Oud/Aoud or whatever and I don't really fit together anyway.
But Montale can be different. So in an extensive sample packet I also received a sip of Intense So Iris.
You'd think the name was a program here. But that's only partly true.
Iris can be perceived here very clearly and for a very long time, but there is nothing intense here.
I'll start with the flacons, which I prefer to call containers. I find these aludinger extremely unattractive. I have read something about thermos flasks, deodorant cans or nuclear warheads (yes, the detonator just has to be pulled, then it says poof...), these may all be quite fitting associations There are other ways of looking pretty. I am not a person who attaches great importance to packaging, especially not if the contents are no good. And vice versa, less appealing bottles can contain great fragrances So let's just keep it on the down-low. But Montale's not really my cup of tea But that seems to be part of their overall appearance.
What does the scent tell me?
Yes, there's Iris, smiling nicely into the group. She is nice, pleasant to be around, but somehow she doesn't really come out of herself. She gives the impression that you have to take everything out of her. That tires in the long run.
And for me this is joined by another impression. Namely, that dear Iris is a big carrot fan and shovels these in rough quantities into herself But do I want to smell like carrots? And all the time?
Hmmm, this is me for a fragrance that should cost around 150, - €, then a little bit little and boring.
I prefer to have carrots on my plate, because they are nice and healthy. Either grated raw, with apple, or as a delicious side dish or stew
Very faintly, after a few hours, a tiny wooden touch is still noticeable in the fragrance and something creamy, which could come from musk. But this is not enough to make the Intense So Iris more exciting for me. So the dear nice Iris remains friendly and discreet for me, but also a bit bland and a bit boring. She doesn't want to tell me more and remains sitting quietly with her carrots. There is no further development to notice. It is and remains a carrot-like experience.
But what I would like to point out very positively is the durability. The nice iris has a rather long shelf life of 8-9 hours despite her weak self-confidence. I find that quite successful. There are some scents that are more like thick pants and have already shot their ammunition much earlier.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to get to know the nice Iris. But I won't let her move in with me, that's for sure My thanks go to Verbena, who made it possible for me to get to know her!
I could launch a whole new batch of carrot jokes right now...
All right, one always goes
Does Iris go to the pharmacy and ask, "Hattu carrot?"
Says the pharmacist: "But of course I have carrots!"
Say to Iris, "Shit, you ruined the whole joke!"
I wish you a nice fragrant Sunday, with or without carrots
