To be or not to be
One thing I can say for sure: This scent doesn't seem to me to be what it is to others. Which once again shows me how subjective scent sensations are. I searched in vain for the often described "powderiness", "creaminess" and also "butteriness". How much would I have liked the scent to be perceived as the "soft fur of a cat" or "addictive"?
But how do I feel the scent?
Well... Immediately after spraying, he makes me think of Mary Poppin's bitter medicine, which could have taken a few spoons of sugar. An intense herbaceousness (coriander) develops immediately, which appears cool, bitter and almost transparent. I have the feeling that the coriander wants to blow my head free. After a certain time, the herbaceousness diminishes and the fragrance becomes soft.... Very quiet. A dry woodiness remains, behind which hides a withered bouquet of flowers, which was obviously too seldom poured. The delicate veil that lingers on my skin afterwards strangely reminds me of the CD deodorant "Water Lily". Is that perhaps the iris that fights its way through the thicket?
After 3-4 hours I am asked the question "Where are you???"
Which brings me straight to the shelf life of the fragrance. In my opinion, this is more than poor. Sillage? - Very close. I sprayed it generously on my better half for experimental purposes and unfortunately could not notice it after a short time.
In short: I expected a cuddly scent of well-being, in which I can literally wrap myself, like in a thick wool coat. And what did I get? A sober looking Bundeswehr camouflage uniform, with which I could hide in the woods.
Am I disappointed? No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm one fragrance experience richer. And who knows.... Maybe someday I'll smell the same thing the others smell. I'm not giving up that easy

It didn't quite fit for me either. Too earthy, too musty and also strangely watery. Perhaps it fits better on a man's skin

Yeah, I'm afraid I just went for the smell with the wrong expectations. But he can't help it ;-)

i just like the brittle element in it. Sophisticated, clean and androgynous, I feel him. That makes it the perfect business fragrance for me :-)

The smell's too harsh for me, too.

It's already spicy, that's right. But also smells nice like real iris butter and not like most fragrances like synthetic iris
