Wonderful. Subtle iris notes, soft leather. Of course, there are many similar scents, but this one is like the song Smooth Operator by Sade.

Wow! What a comparison: Smooth Operator by Sade… I'll note that down right away.

The song back then had something special, but I'm unfortunately out when it comes to iris leather.

I don't know either of them yet, but this one sounds dangerously beautiful - just like the song...

Ahhh, the song fits perfectly ☺️. Now I have to compare the two with the rest I still have 😄

You can often find Bas de Soie at a good price from "gray market sellers"; I've seen 50ml for €69. That's why I'm thinking...

Actually, the price per ml for the Bas is significantly higher at the regular price; it's just that the quantity is almost too much for me. 🤔

Great, thank you for comparing them. I also think Zurafa is nicer... Do you know Iris Prima? I had that one too, unfortunately empty... it's also quite similar. But Zurafa is really something... I'm hooked as well...

After about 2 hours, they start to come closer together.

I found that really interesting, and it would have been practical since it's definitely not cheap. ☺️

Right from the first minutes, I noticed a distinctly different scent on me. Both have iris. The base is floral and tender with slight green hints. (I had this one before and found it very subtle, not so floral; maybe it’s been changed, or I’ve become more sensitive.) On the other hand, Zurafa comes off quite leathery on me. It can certainly vary for everyone, but unfortunately, it hasn't made the cut for me yet.

I really like it, but €380? There are others that smell just as good but cost a lot less, even from Lutens himself... like Bas de Soie or Penhaligon's Iris Prima.
