EO can do it....
Hello everyone,
our actual story began in 2023, but it was not a long pleasure. Meaning = I tested xx fragrances of the EO brand and there were always many that I liked more than you back then (!) and yes, maybe it just wasn't time yet...
Getting hold of an OG these days is very, very difficult and generally getting hold of certain older things from the brand is.... let's call it difficult.
That's why the newer Iris Ghalia Attar (black lid) moved in 2 weeks ago and yes what can I say = it was different as expected!
This ends the preface and the real review begins!

What does it smell like?
To those who know the Iris Ghalia Parfum = it has a lot in it (which is logical) and you can tell where it comes from ;) , that is...
You notice a very very very soft beaver for a few seconds and then it disappears and almost never reappears! The fragrance is very gentle FAST Soft and therefore... = more later!
The very noticeable fruity currant + some spices in combination with the iris butter and the blue lotus result in a dark, beautiful, viscous mass that somehow seems magical. You feel boosted and somehow above it all. I can't describe it, you have to experience it!
However, there are 2 other things that I "feel" I appreciate even more about it.
Firstly, the drydown, because it is very similar to Iris Ghalia Parfum V4 and Purple Rain: Trifecta and I like both more than subtle. This tidy/this (for me!) perfect mix of soft oriental spices, the beautiful sandalwood and the almost delicate Papua oud.
But what is (in my opinion) the biggest real plus point is simply how it is received/liked and how mass-compatible it is!
Many of EO or virtually all of them play with a certain animalism, some less, some more, but it is almost always present in every fragrance. Here it is almost (98%) non-existent. My wife is not really a friend of EO Animalik and not even close, but SHE said the following...
"So this is an EO..., never YOU are kidding me!"
Now I wear it more often and ALSO to go to sleep (discreetly), I would even say that next to the Sultan White Rose (review to follow) and my PLATINUM Purple Rain Attar it's the 3 that YOU (!) like best.
Can I recommend this one?
Absolutely!
Where and when?
Where - almost everywhere and on the subject of when, not necessarily in summer + midsummer, but otherwise it's very good.
H/S:
The durability is really fierce/ really good/ mega, if we are talking about 20h and more, then I think to myself "WHAT CAN YOU SAY" except to give it a 10 out of 10!
On the subject of sillage, for the first 1h to 1 1/2 hours it is very noticeable. But after that it is very quiet / almost shy and reserved. and for an attar or oil it is logical (due to the concentration) that they are quieter in the later course. But by EO standards it is almost atypical that he is so quiet..
And maybe that's why I like it so much...
Because it is quiet and when it is very well received, it can be used without any problems where an EO is hardly ever used (train, car, airplane, for small birthdays indoors, for example also when cuddling) and I give it a lot of credit for that
Sometimes you have to go other ways...
Personally, I'm incredibly happy to finally have it back and to have given it a second chance, so to speak.
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny
