High Expectations
A new iris fragrance from the creator of "III-I L'Attesa" must be good. It can't be otherwise, right?
As always, when you have high hopes, when you imagine something completely new, something never smelled before, from the combination of iris and lemon leaf, when you believe that lemon leaf would create an interesting, unsweetened greenness while holding back on the lemoniness, when you envision this together with the iris as irresistible, when the common subconscious simply ignores the words "amber" and "vanilla" in the fragrance notes, when you convince yourself: "Where iris is mentioned, happiness must be inside," you end up falling flat on your - quite literal - nose.
I find The Iris Way good, no more and no less. Since my inflated expectations are my fault, I would say a pleasant gourmand fragrance has been created here. It smells of iris, briefly citrusy, very vanilla-sweet, a bit like black tea and glazed pastries.
The perfume leaves me and my dormant interest in fragrances with good hopes for the rest of the Discovery Set.

Maybe you'll find a wonderful iris scent after all.
