Not the iris butter I had hoped for

I love iris butter á la Celine Black Tie ) and therefore wanted to test more fragrances with this component. So it was only natural that I should try Orris Tattoo. Supposedly, it only contains this note. I can't say whether this is the case. It doesn't seem that way to me. Other reviewers/statement writers mention a synthetic woody note, which I personally perceive, if at all, then rather in the background and which does not bother me.

For me, Orris Tattoo is unfortunately not quite what I expected. I had hoped for a warm, soft, buttery iris butter. One that you want to sink your teeth into. This one is more of a masculine (albeit very subtle) iris butter that tends towards freshness. Fortunately, I don't smell any carrots, but I almost wish I did, because I simply miss sweetness and warmth here.
I'm not a raw material freak and I'm sure there will be different iris butters and - depending on the combination in which they are contained in fragrances - they will come across differently. So I can't rule out the possibility of false expectations on my part.

I also know the Milky Musk/39 from Parle-moi-de-Parfum, which I once owned but then let go as a bottle in the souk. It was also somehow different from what I had expected. Milky - yes, okay. But more in the direction of milky-synthetic wood and musk. Not a bad perfume - not at all. But also rather masculine for me due to the strong musky note.

What am I trying to say? Apparently there are simply fragrance houses that don't suit you that well. I've already discovered a few. Unfortunately, Parle-moi-de-Parfum is obviously one of them. Which of course doesn't mean that I'll try another fragrance at some point - thanks to curiosity

The Bright Angel

First of all I would like to explicitly recommend all testers of Orris Tattoo/29 to wear the scent correctly, because a pulse test could definitely lead to disappointment regarding the sillage
Orris Tattoo/29 starts pleasantly dry, but not dust-dry and almost cool.

Beautifully tender carrot accents are to be noticed, which also reveal a slight tendency to the rooted.

As the fragrance progresses, it becomes softer, slightly warmer and subtly creamy without completely losing its dry caraway - rooted aura.

From Mantus there is the song: "Dark Angel", which I want to rewrite a little bit for Orris Tattoo/29.

"Maybe I'll stay alone in this world, too alien to ever be a part of it, how many times have I hated and loved you for nothing, a bright angel you just miss."

Exactly these refrain lines reflect for me this smell perfectly again.

You can overlook him, but once he reaches you, he just won't let you go!

For me, the fragrance also has a very special charisma, which actually doesn't fit together at all:

Namely vulnerability and strength!

The fragrance has a very transparent, graspable construction, which gives it something silky, almost fragile and yet proves a wonderful strength.

In total the fragrance lasts 8 hours on my skin.

The Sillage is conceived from the outset in such a way that one is perceived very well at a half arm length and this is maintained also 3.5 hours in such a way, before it minimizes itself in quiet steps up to the conclusion of the smell
I would like to express my sincere thanks to our perfume "ParfumAholic" for the bottling.

Me and tattoos? No way!! Or ever?

There are fragrances that are the purest attractants for me. Iris is undoubtedly one of them. I find it particularly beautiful that she is used in fragrances in a very multi-faceted way, sometimes extraordinarily cool ("Hiris" by Hermès), sometimes woody (Bois d'Iris by van Cleef & Arpels) and then again spicy (Iris Nazarena by Aedes de Venustas). Iris in combination with violets let me float in the seventh heaven of fragrances. This powderiness à la Dior's Homme or Terry de Gunzburg's Ombre Mercure are real "nose catchers" for me
What I personally can do much less with, however, are tattoos. Firstly, I'm probably not the type for it (I'm already completely satisfied with the pricking at the dentist or taking blood samples) and secondly, in some holidays (and / or on hot days with us) I've seen too many tattoos, which really don't deserve the predicate aesthetically (anymore). Of course, there are also successful examples.

Now then a "Iris Tattoo" by Parle Moi de Parfum. Hm, funny name. Or is the name program, because it should combine the best of both worlds? Anyway, I was very curious. Especially because it is apparently a monothematic fragrance. Would the iris (or iris butter = oil of the iris root) be able to "last a whole fragrance"?

When the envelope arrived from France, there was no stopping it. Immediately I gave a few sprays on the back of my hand. And there it was, immediately and unmistakably in all its beauty: the iris
No soft or even overly sweet powdery dream and no lipstick accord, but rather a rather dry and creamy-fine spicy iris. It is accompanied by a touch of amber and violet (or lavender, I'm not sure).
This iris is not playful and spring-fresh, but mature with an effortless seriousness. A self-evident elegance, which does not seem effortful or artificial, gives it a special charm. It appears fresh and full-bodied, restrained and present at the same time.
In short, this iris interpretation took me by storm.

The test for "wearability in everyday life" was no different. This iris is a faithful companion, which simply ensures well-being. Depending on the outside or body temperature, it is sometimes more and sometimes less present, but always there. It remains rather close to the body, but is still perceptible to the surroundings.

And now I also understand what the tattoo in the name is all about. A tattoo literally gets under the skin and that is what happens with this fragrance. Orris Tattoo doesn't just lie on the skin, it literally melts into it and then gradually unfolds its very special scent.
Of course, you could say that this is boring, because Orris Tattoo is not evolving and certainly can't (and won't) come up with surprising twists and turns. This iris is simply self-sufficient and does not require any decorative accessories. And it is in this monothematic tranquillity that I find the appeal and the special quality of this unagitated and grounded fragrance, which in my opinion is absolutely unisex, year-round and wearable on almost any occasion.

And so there will be something with the tattoos and me ;-))
