Very helpful Review 11  
Thank you for traveling
I am fond of the company FiiLit - because I like their eco concept - and also their fragrance compositions.

The fragrances are very peculiar - to idiosyncratic - but not peculiar.
They dance pleasantly out of line.

In addition, they assign the fragrances to specific geographical regions, which I find very exciting.

So I've already traveled with FiiLit to Amazonia, Japan, the Atlas, and now the Cyclades - and it's always been interesting.

However, the trip to the Aegean is something for nature-loving backpack tourists.

Properly dressed you walk through the archipelago - under a bright blue sky.
The woody freshness inspires your thoughts, and tempts you to take a brisk step.
You're out exploring - and the Italian strappy sandals have to stay at home.
But the sturdy footwear leads to untouched, wildly pristine places.
Pioneer feelings come up.

The Citrische notes are cooled by Neroli - and the wandering does not bring sweating.
Wild rose bushes waft aromatically over - spiced by myrrh.
Zartherbes violet mixes with it - deepened by Patchoulie.

One is alone with oneself and nature, breathing in quietly and deeply, watching the birds sail silently against the blue sky.

I say, thank you for traveling.

Homage to the Rainbow Bridge
I have already reported in detail about the French brand FiiLiT and its exemplary intention in my commentary on "Saudade". And Leimbacher has already written something about the Cyclades. It should perhaps be mentioned that this group of islands, together with Mykonos and Santorini, is virtually the cliché of classic Greek tourist destinations. Stop with whitewashed little houses as well as blue sea and sky.

But what is it about Irida? Well, she is the Greek goddess of the rainbow and connects heaven and earth as well as humans and gods. She is also known as iris, as the iris in the eye is also called. But now, enough of the slumbering - let's get to the fragrance.

At the beginning it comes across fresh and citric, but also partly dry and spicy. Irida does not necessarily turn out to be as clear as the air you might have aimed for. On the contrary, somehow there is still something dull-harsh about it. I suspect the resinous, slightly pistachio-like mastic.

If you give Irida a little time, it develops into a rather woody floral eau de parfum, which thanks to violets drifts towards Lalique's Hommage à l'Homme. Papyrus seems to underline a fluffy woodiness. I like that much better than the bumpy start, but it still doesn't come close to the original.

Towards the end, Irida captivates again with dry charm including myrrh, but unfortunately also with a hushed bitter accompanying note.

All in all, the whole thing results in a fragrance that is almost close to the body, which neither reflects the complexity of a rainbow nor triggers idyllic Cycladic headiness, but is absolutely okay in the middle part. As a small consolation one can at least say that Irida consists of 87% natural ingredients.
