Pallida
Iris Pallida, according to the box, is the sort of Iris that was used for this earthy green floral. Now, i don´t know what is the olfactive difference between the varieties, but this white flower iris smell here rather pale and transparent.
Don´t get me wrong. I am a huge admirer of paleness. The pre-raphaelite women are pale, and so is the fur of my cat. Pale is the light of a rainy day (just like today) and i could write a long list of many favourite pale things.
Infusion d´Iris is very watery and a bit melancholic. On my skin, the lily of the valley is the dominant note. This is a rain soaked lily of the valley, very fresh and transparent, and pale blue-tinged, thanks to the violet. It is a beautifl accord, how the scent starts muget and finish violet, over a distant, clean iris. Neroli and galbanum are refreshing and sparkle like ice cubes falling on a glass.
This flowers are so wet, it smells a bit musty, but just the tiny bit to make it interesting.
In this first stage it is tender and delicate, and even it can be perfectly shared, it is closer to the femenine. Of all the versions on Infusion d´Iris, is the most flowery, and my second favourite after the Absolue.
For the ones who like their tea strong, they will probably wish this infusion had settled a bit longer. Someone who look for a subtle, unintrusive scent will be pleased with this dewy wild flowers.
The drydown is so beautiful and unoffensive i can hardly imagine someone disliking it: the clean iris is now the dominant. It keeps the characteristic earthiness, but all impurities and dirt have been washed away. The iris is rounded with a mild cedar wood note.
