Not fish, not fowl..
that's what they say when a food, a drink or a piece of clothing etc. can't quite decide what it's supposed to represent. I had a similar experience with this fragrance by Les Soeurs de Noé, which I actually think is really great. Why is that? Well, like so many of my favorites, it has similarities to some fragrances I already own. And yes, I love those compositions that already bring something familiar to my nose that I've grown to love here and there. Yes, I am one of those perfumas who often like to get similar fragrances. Because there I just know that fits and in principle no nasty surprises, called there disturbing factors, are to be expected.
Call Me Iris confused me but first, because immediately after spraying I had to think of the long discontinued Casmir Festival Blue. But why is that so? Honestly? I don't know. I don't find any similarities in the fragrance notes, but this pleasant freshness, slightly enriched by aldehydes, which seems a bit cool to me, reminds me of this fragrance at first. We have something citrusy here and there, with Iris it's bergamot and lemon and with Chopard it's neroli and mandarin. Maybe this proximity to one of my favorites comes from there?
Is the fragrance a while on the skin, suddenly flashes through another fragrance for my nose, which I also own for a long time and have already repurchased several times, even if it is now unfortunately only very transparent and delicate. It used to be a stunner - my Deep Night by Ghost. The similarities that I can sniff here can only be attributed to the vanilla base at first glance. Ghost doesn't contain iris and Noé's sister doesn't contain any fruit other than tangerine. But wait, stop. I think I now know what unites the two. An incense note, which is not specified on the Deep Night, but explains to me why the scent has been a staple in my repertoire for so many years. I love bright incense. And I'm beginning to be sure that's what's been incorporated here.
Well, why does Sister Iris still fail with me in the end? It actually sounds like a bull's-eye. Yes, actually. But Call Me Iris brings just in this phase, in which he begins to remind of the Ghost, a small, nasty disturbing note, which makes me once again think of cigarette ash. Cypriol, that often causes this with me, we have here indeed none, but the noses keep the actual ingredients to themselves, so I can only guess here what stings me.
On top of that, Call Me Iris doesn't want to answer after a very short time. No matter how loudly I call. The scent is tremendously quiet and weak on the chest. Yes, they have also pulled all the teeth of the Ghost. With the current version, I have to spray lushly by my standards to even smell it, but against Call Me Iris, Deep Night is still strong and potent. What Les Soeurs de Noé offer here is too little, even for the delicate Ms Polly. That's another reason I can't give it more than an 8.
A clearly recognizable iris's also no by the way. For me, this is after citrus-refreshing start a very delicate incense fragrance. Definitely with potential, which could have been exploited. Should have! Here, unfortunately, it did not happen, which is why he also does not become a wish list candidate.
Many thanks to Licorice for the testing opportunity.
