Suitable as a signature scent

It is indeed possible to label the fragrance as unisex. Whether it makes sense is another question. I can't really imagine it on a man either.

The fruity nuances that are said to be present in Impossible Iris are not recognizable to me. However, this is not a drawback for me; on the contrary. The fragrance radiates a charming calm cheerfulness. The iris, which is at the center here, is powdery but not dry and can hold its own against the floral notes without dominating. And the note that Tarata describes as buttery, I can recognize, but I would rather call it creamy. I also find it pleasant that the base does not become sweeter with this fragrance. I have rarely experienced cedar as delicately as here.

The result is a bright, soft scent that could certainly serve as a signature fragrance. Not too loud, not veering into any extremes, suitable for both the office and going out, and actually not tied to any season. This may sound boring, but it is not at all, as Impossible Iris has a distinct recognizability. I think that anyone who wears this perfume will leave a positive impression in the memory of others.

Impossible Iris is by far the finest of the Ramon Monegal fragrances I have tested so far.
