Overt Musk

A very prominent quality of this fume' is its ^overt^ musk. Normally I find musk to be an exceedingly elusive aroma - a para-aroma if uw like, rather than a full-on specific aroma - for which I broach many analogies but always feeling that I never properly capture it: 'shimmering', 'slithering', etc. I read that it is really quite normal, the perceiving of musk in this way. However, this one has a muskiness that is more °concrete° in that I can point to it - purely mentally of course - & say "there, ^that^ aroma!". ~Knot~ by Bottega Venetta also has it.

It's a very rich & heavy 'fume. It °transitions° extremely well, to my mind (but I would not layer them together) with ~Iris Poudrée~ by Frederic Malle - the waxing of this merging seamlessly with the waning of that. And I think that is only to be expected.

This one has great weight, speaking in terms if the nature of it's content: rather opaque leathery & balsamic notes; or to broach analogy of music again, much more of the bass instruments entering in. The iris is much less °shrill° than in ~IP~, and the 'fume as a whole is a much comfier, cosier one. Indeed, it really is a ^very^ lush & opulent 'fume, smelling like it belongs rather in the office of some great & puissant minister in Whitehall than on me! It is certainly ^very^ much more demure: it pretty much completely lacks that brazen °lewdness° I speak of apropos ~Iris Poudrée~ & also ~Bruma~ by Trudon.

Crackle in Green

Celadon ceramics, a European term for Chinese porcelain stoneware, produced from the 3rd century until the late Middle Ages, whose greenish or bluish-gray glaze was usually interspersed with fine cracks. Earlier works were rather translucent, while newer ones are opaque and the color also reminiscent of jade. Derived from, and naming the term *green celadon color was: *Céladon, the always green-clad, shy young man and hero from Honoré d'Urfé's pastoral novel Astrée, in which the main part tells of the love of the shepherd Céladon for the shepherdess Astrée.
Celadon, gray-green-gray-blue, also appearing a bit cool, ethereal bitter floral scent of irises shimmers through the aldehyde of the top note, which presents itself as both delicately soapy and waxy, milky, and somewhat airy. It is characterized by a quickly fading script, and just as the glaze of a ceramic allows the vessel to shine through, it is presented to you in a shadowy manner before it withdraws. A waxy layer of jasmine, a layer of unsweetened elegance envelops and dominates the fragile bitterness of the iris blossom. In this phase of transition, I cannot decide whether I have more wax or leather, soft washed leather in my nose. It is overall a leathery, waxy floral, citrus-fruity impression, polished & Cashmeran coated. Almost abruptly, rather wide-legged, sharp-minty patchouli steps into the beginning heart note. Resin, it becomes resinous like myrrh & elemi, with a hint of chamomile (band-aid). And someone sprinkles cardamom pods into the scent. Spiciness peels itself from the bitterness of the iris blossom, giving the fragrance an oriental twist, warm-spicy, like the crust of baked bread lying in a cool chamber. The ginger-like citrus sharpness of the cardamom stands clearly beside the mint sharpness of the patchouli, which develops warmly like hay, accompanying the scent until the end. With the departure of the iris blossom, its floral, hand-like bitterness fades, leaving behind the ginger and cardamom. The unsweetened, matte dry scent of the iris root pushes in, digs in like crackle now from all sides, spreading out with and within it: the unsweetened, matte dry scent of the iris root. A delicate-synthetic (I have been unable to shake the impression of a good portion of Iso E Super for some time now) and a rough-oriental side seem to merge. Now resins, spices, the citrus-fruity jasmine note, and a multifaceted iris root begin to mix. It becomes increasingly softer, cozier in scent. Heliotropin powdery sweetness spreads out, now and then pale scented violets wave from the rhizome, then again the root appears richly dipped in white cocoa butter. Delicately, I perceive cinnamon & clove, there might also be a trace of anisaldehyde paired with iris (Jonone, Irone?). As it moves into the base, the cozy whipped cream note intensifies, the scent becomes skin-like, sensual, musky Ambrettolide cozy, also very smooth, with a woody, nutty twist. Cashmeran and tamed patchouli ground the scent. After five hours, a soft smooth, spicy whisper remains, and that’s it.
How the scent performs on men's skin, hmm, that would have to be tried. I find the scent, despite considerable earthy spiciness, rather feminine. I have two fragrances in my nose that it reminds me of. On the one hand, it is (in the heart) -> Cuir de R'Eve and on the other hand, from the heart and then really for me a twin -> 1826- Eugénie de Montijo.
Iris Celadon appears more subtle, perhaps simply different synthetically;) (no Ambroxan, as my nasal trigeminal olfactory system would respond with migraines) and with a less pronounced Armani note;D or rather, it shows itself + pulls back just in time so that it doesn’t really bother me.
The fragrance is in any case, almost a bit different.
The color scheme in Armani's Spring-Summer collection;)

The Seducer

Iris fragrances have really captivated me by now. At first, it was a bit of an adjustment, but now I love this powderiness. When I read about this scent, I was already very curious; the fragrance pyramid sounds absolutely beautiful!

Right after spraying it on, I am greeted by a truly lovely powdery, only very slightly sweet iris, which I really like. This lasts for about 15 minutes for me, and then the scent becomes really interesting. I don’t even know how to describe it properly. It definitely gets a bit darker, and now and then I think of warm stones/sand or earth. I can’t quite decide on that yet. It must be from the patchouli. But there’s more, something creamy, slightly bitter/spicy, and of course the only minimally sweet iris. Wow, this smells so amazing; I’ve truly never had anything like it under my nose, and I’ve smelled a lot by now. I find that due to the transformation, the scent also works well as unisex, although at first, I find it rather feminine.

Something really fine has been created here; I feel as if I am walking barefoot over stones/sand/earth (here we are again with my indecisiveness), Fleetwood Mac's music plays in my ears, my clothing is airy, and now and then a piece of dark chocolate wanders into my mouth, sweetening my walk into a carefree day.

This is how a fragrance should be; it takes me on a beautiful journey of thoughts and makes me incredibly satisfied and happy! It has succeeded; it has seduced me :))

Haunted Castle Iris?

AugustAs nose encounters something dull and woody, which is so prominent in the top note that I can't tell if it smells sweet, cocoa-like, or a bit musty. After a while, I recognize it: patchouli. Patchouli with iris in the form of powder = some kind of mustiness, although not entirely unpleasant, rather with a hint of cocoa or coffee or flour, slightly (!) gourmand. Not exactly floral or fresh in the top note after the first quarter hour.

Patchouli-chlor-iris. Again this Privé-chlor that I have encountered a few too many times... Somehow, though, it is still good. Ah, there is mate and ambrette... And again the cardamom, which sometimes smells not too far from soapy-salty-aquatic. It is well integrated here. Dry, slightly spicy, again a hint of cocoa.

The Privés I have tried so far share something slightly ghostly. This is attractive, and AugustA finds himself at the Armani Privé fragrance altar among the greens, smelling the now somewhat stale bells.

By ghostly, I mean: elusive, but sometimes also penetrating.
This one does not annoy; you want to follow it as it hovers on the skin in bluish-green veils.

Then the scent becomes drier, the powder nutty and floral at the same time, light beige. Much better.

Celadon is a greenish-blue ceramic glaze, Chinese, medieval, very rarely found in Europe. A Chinese spirit, then. The color reminds of jade, and the scent reflects that. An iris scent in jade green. The patchouli connects blue and green, grounding it. It brings the blue down to earth over the green. Here it wanders now, the Chinese spirit.
In the haunted castle in Spessart, there were also green ghosts. For you, we do everything…! This scent, however, is the opposite of shrill and clattering (although sensationally quirky for its time), this one is refined and has depth.

Ambrette and mate seem to balance the patchouli, which has spread so broadly on my skin. The scent becomes more agreeable with some distance, but when smelling directly on the skin, there still remains a strangely musty touch that I can't quite appreciate.

Over time, the scent also becomes pleasantly powdery. The iris blends beautifully with the cocoa, without tipping into sweetness. On the contrary, it becomes almost drier, and although powder is a care component, the scent becomes both dustier and more ethereal. A delicate hand reaches for me and pulls me over into the realm of ghosts. Farewell…

Ahem, -- I'm still here.

Augusto thinks: Smells like porcelain breaking (or ceramics). He likes it better in the end than I do; let's see how it works on him. For me, the spirit exudes too much of this chlorinated note over time, and here with dust. I just can't quite follow him into the realm of ghosts... Although, it has its moments...

Only the base note becomes creamy, powdery soft for me now, and very pleasant, not without wood and a bit of spice. If the whole scent were like this, I would like it a lot.

I will try it again in winter. It somehow smells like a warm fluffy sweater just pulled out of a box, a cup of cocoa in hand.
That's okay, but not really good. Too much box.
The Privés are apparently just not my style, although I keep trying. Something is always stuffy, musty, or chlorinated. But I am persistent.
