Harmony of the senses: Iris hides in the jungle
The great thing about L´Atelier is its exclusivity. Gicvenchy stands for something special anyway. But with the studio scents you can be sure that you won't smell them at every corner. In Berlin you can find the creations at Lafayette and KaDeWe - and of course at the Givenchy boutiques.
I especially like Iris because of her sensual and bewitching and aphrodisiac effect. So I tried the harmony once...
The pretty Madel (perhaps in her mid-20s) from the Givenchy department sprays the scent into the air and waggles the Givenchy cardboard through the Vapo spray dust - gaaaery elegant. I always do it differently: 10 cm distance and up on the wrist. Why am I mentioning this? I'll come back to that later.
Top note:
Wow, what kind of harsh iris is that? He caresses my nose so high he's stuck in my brain. One perceives flowery notes that have a tart wearer. Ylang and Neroli are slowed down by the warm and woody Immortelle in their floweriness. The head note is so beautiful that I would have to give it 15 points...
Heart note:
The top note quickly becomes the heart note. Neroli flies away and slightly spicier nuances appear. Yes, it gets a bit more bitter, but this does not affect the fragrance in its harmonic line, since the top note of the strawflower (Immortelle) was not the pure sea of flowers anyway.
The heart note is very discreet and sensual. Like a small shy and vulnerable kitten. she lies down on her skin.
Unfortunately, really sooo a pity: The smell becomes more and more discreet, so that you can only perceive it after about 3 hours very close. I can't explain what this is all about. Let him have the strong oud in the base...
Heart note: 8 points
Base note:
Well, the base. Where's the oud? The scent remains warm, woody and earthy, but fixes the lovely iris discreetly. The gujak wood should be responsible for that. But where the hell is Oud? I can live with that, if you don't fritter away oud, it's quite expensive after all. But I don't really notice the oud here - maybe a pinch of knife. This is not bad, the fragrance is not called Oud Harmonique, but Iris Harmonique. And anyone who knows Oud knows it can be quite a board. But perhaps a second pinch of oud would have given the fragrance in the base a bit more stability and longevity - it certainly wouldn't have hurt, because Iris Harmonique hardly offers any olfactory perception in the base. That's so too bad. One would therefore have to spray it every three hours if one wanted to have a corresponding Sillage.
After four hours, the fragrance can only be guessed at, just like a discreet, quickly absorbed cream. The skin smells pleasantly sweet, spicy, earthy. That means: With a trained nose you can still perceive the beautifully transformed iris.
Maybe you have to apply a little more of it (e.g. also on hair, shirt/blouse), but with a price of 200,00 € you have a hard time. Maybe it would be better to pre-treat the corresponding parts of the body (neck, décolleté, neck, wrists) with oil or cream beforehand...
7.5 points
Conclusion:
Because the top note is so overly great, he still gets a total of 10 points
Shelf life:
Unfortunately rather below average, but maybe it is (hopefully) due to the ph value of my skin, therefore - 7 points
Sillage:
well, I hardly notice any of them. I don't think my environment is either. This fits however to the restraint and the extremely discreet appearance of this harmony.
6 points
Flacon:
The bottle is excessively noble. The yarn on the lid of the L´Artelier series is intended to reveal that the L´Atelier perfumes were inspired by certain fashion collections.
10 points
who: all - ladies, gentlemen, young, older
whenever: always and eternally - spring, summer, autumn, winter
I have just bought the last bottle in the Galeries Lafayette - The fragrance is supposed to be adjusted... ;-(
PS:
What SabriNoir experienced three years ago can somehow not be. Anyway, I don't get it.
