everything I wasn't looking for
So now I have an iris scent.
with iris in the name.
I didn't know I would like iris.
And I ignored this brand with the gold flakes because of the decadence and pricing per se.
......... until a sample came under my nose - as an addition in a souk (dear thanks at this point again to BleuDQ). First merely taken note of and left. Stands yes Iris in the name.
So what with flowers.
Not my Cup of tea.
And then something happens to me, immediately after I sprayed the fragrance listlessly on my wrist ....
Fairy dust descends upon me.
My, he's beautiful!
Beautiful.
I'm experiencing a medicinal sweetness that has been very appealing to me in perfumes lately. And although sweet, mixes here just a spiciness, which prevents the fragrance from drifting into a lush floral bouquet. On me, it is also rather not powdery, but dry. The patchouli herb is dry, not dusty. Gives the scent something dark and deep without becoming gloomy. Mysterious.
Like a Kate Bush song, where light and shadow sound together.... like a siren....
I'm just carried away.
Iris Fauve could be a lot of things I don't like or am not looking for at the moment - a fierce floral, dark-cold-earthy patchouli, tuffy clean musk.... instead, I find unspeakably noble and artfully coordinated spices, none pushing to the fore - and iris and patchouli taking me into their midst. Beautifully hypnotic-spicy, yet not too lush or heavy. It's almost as if a new, mysterious spice emerges from both, beguiling and captivating me.
I was lucky enough to grab a "started" bottle in the souk.
There it is now.
With its gold flakes.
And yes! It is really beautiful!
Like the fragrance.
With the iris in its name.
So everything I wasn't really looking for.

Iris Fauve reminds me of Under My Skin with its subtle seductiveness, although superficially the two don't have that much to do with each other now.... (if there were not a subtle animalism).
