Beautiful
I'm not generally into vanilla but it works so well here. The top is all vintage cosmetics. Mostly powdery iris, plus some other lightly sweetened florals. A touch of citrus to brighten it. And throughout the day the soft creamy vanilla base starts to show itself more and more. By the end of the day it's a gentle vanilla. It lasts all day for me.

The Gangster Bride
Sure, she's pretty. More than that. She's beautiful. But also a bit too heavily made up. She knows her effect and has the guys perfectly under control. Especially her own. He does just about everything for her. For example, good business - even if it's with drugs. But somewhere the cash for all those expensive shoes has to come from. Otherwise, she'll find herself another one. He's pretty sure of that. What keeps her is solely his success in the competition among the bosses. Seen that way, she’s actually the boss herself, but you only realize that upon a second glance. At first, she appears sweet, playful, almost innocent. But woe to anyone who gets involved with her. "My name is trouble." You can take that literally. Her company is not free. It's even absurdly expensive. Primarily when she has left and you’re left with a broken heart. That’s a pain you can't pay for with money. So take good care of her. Because you won't find a replacement. You can bet on that. She has something about her that is irreplaceable, non-reproducible.
What is it? No idea (and I don't want to know)
Just hold on to her as long as you can!

Someone wrote: "The most beautiful lipstick scent I've ever smelled."
I can only agree with that.
Hard to get and absurdly expensive as well.
But that was to be expected… (see above)

An Irresistible Iris Scent for Every Day
Mes Besous as a perfume brand has intrigued me for some time, but I only recently got around to testing the scents from the brand. I find some good, but Balle Rouge and Amberique are my favorites.

This type of fragrance is not necessarily for all iris lovers, but for those who enjoy the lipstick accord in perfumes, it is certainly a great scent.

It opens with a light, for me barely noticeable citrus and a hint of pepper. In my opinion, this note is only present briefly, and the heart of the fragrance takes center stage with an enchanting blend of rose, amber, and IRIS, the star of this beautiful perfume.

In the base, the scent dries down to a delicious tonka bean-vanilla-musk dream with a still very present iris note. This lipstick vibe is still there, albeit a bit sweeter and more ambered.

If you are looking for that lipstick vibe, you will find it here. My bottle is already on its way to me.

nagyon kellemes finom illat. Nem értem miért nőinek van itt feltűntetve. Férfiként használom és az a véleményem, hogy teljesen unisex illat.

Incredibly beautiful, enveloping, creamy iris scent. The notes are very well blended, nothing stands out. A dream.

My iris heart is smiling.
Initially a bit citrusy, then a great
lipstick with prominent iris.
Sweet and beautiful.

Iris, makeup box style, Lipstick On - very fine powdery lipstick accord. If you like it, you can't get enough of it!

Starts as a vintage lipstick and transforms into the most beautiful iris masterpiece I've ever smelled.
The base reminds me of Fève Délicieuse.

This must be what a lipstick kiss on a cedar wood table smells like. A woody, herbal note - definitely not made for my lips.

Oh yes, lipstick! Unfortunately biting at first, it calms down a bit but retains an annoying note that resembles bitter almond. Too intense.

For fans of Lipstick on, who have always wished for its brilliant top note throughout the entire fragrance. Extremely beautiful and harmonious.

I was able to test it thanks to a lovely perfume. Iris with a hint of lemon dominated by lipstick followed by vanilla and tonka in the dry down.
