dry, drier, Iris Mater
Right upon applying it to my skin, I feel this dryness like I have never experienced before. Some perfumes, like those from Profumum Roma, leave an oily film, others sit as a moist spot on the skin, this scent immediately becomes one with me, it merges with my skin. It is exactly this dryness that excites me; for a long time, I have searched in vain for this skin sensation in powdery scents.
From the very beginning, I perceive the rose, still as a closed bud, protected by its green leaves. Delicate violets accompany it on its journey, only to bloom into that one wonderful rose in the next moment.
From now on, the scent does not change anymore; it offers no surprising twist, no sophisticated transformation, it remains flower-pollen dry.
I do not smell any iris, at least not a bloom; why does Michele Marin name his fragrance Iris Mater? Mater means mother in both Latin and Greek.
It must be the rhizome of the iris, the mother of the bloom, which would also explain the appearance of the violets and, in powdered form, creates this delightful dryness.
A modern dry-structured rose-violet scent, free from overwhelming sweetness and piercing notes, making it wearable for both women and men.
Many thanks to @Ernstheiter, who made it possible for me to test this fragrance by generously sending a sample and also encouraged me to post my first comment.
