The training wheels for L'Heure Bleue
Right out of the bottle I get (literally) creamy iris. At the end of its long wear I get (figuratively) sugary, creamy iris. That’s it. Is it necessary that you love iris to love this? It might be a requisite. If you are iris-averse then don’t even bother with this. If you’re looking to explore iris this is as good a place to start. I’d even say this is a good gateway into more complex scents like L’Heure Bleue—not that I’m even suggesting they are of the same ilk. However, if L’Heure Bleue is a kaleidoscope of blues and violets then Periwinkle & Iris is a marker of powder blue hue.

A question was posed, “Who are the basic b*ches in your collection?” I hadn’t thought much about it. I hadn’t even offered a reply. But I knew right away, as I was swooping in to grab a second gift set of Periwinkle & Iris, who she was. Periwinkle & Iris offers nothing groundbreaking. The earth does not tremble when I spray this. But damn, I smell good! And isn’t that all we require from these basic, ahem, ladies in our collection?

I smell synthetic blue jasmine and violets. A creamy floral, powdery in the dry down and intense on violets. Iris arrives as it mellows.
