The Plaisir of the Green Iris
The fragrance Iris is actually not so my thing...mostly it seems very "dry" and powdery, sometimes even almost "dusty". I usually only like powdery fragrances if they have a certain sweetness. Sometimes the iris also seems a little "carrot like" - sometimes, but also not always, I think that it's very different, but it's also not really one of my favourite directions. But the iris can also appear green and more "juicy" than "powdery-dry", like the scent in a flower shop. I like that better.
"Iris" from Sangado goes for me in the latter direction, so flowery green and not at all "dry-powdery". I had ordered blindly after the positive experiences with "Hyacinth" of the same brand. Iris" does not mention a twin either, although most Sangado fragrances are apparently based on other perfumes.
When I sniff the bottle, the "Pleasures" comes to mind, which I appreciate very much, but the pyramid doesn't fit, because "Pleasures" doesn't contain any iris. But nevertheless, I cannot dismiss such a little similarity in the smell impression from the hand. 1:1 comparison on paper: In Pleasures rose and pink pepper come through more clearly. "Iris" seems a little fresher and "greener" to me. But a certain similarity is definitely there for me - but only on paper! On my skin "Iris" lacks the radiance and the conciseness of "Pleasures". The similarity here is only marginal.
Regardless of a potential resemblance to Pleasures, Iris appears to me floral-fresh with green echoes. Bright, friendly, spring-like, but not sweet-tender or sweetish. Altogether in any case quite discreet.
If you love fresh floral perfumes and are also open to "No Name Parfums", you should take a test here.
