Luigi's Mansion
Honestly, I had expected "Iris Celadon" almost a perfect 10 for my taste. The Privé series says me often enough maximum, the bottles are a feast for the eyes, the iris in the center, the pleasant fragrance color - all very much in my direction and corner. Why in the end but "only" a good to very good iris milk dust has come out, I try to explain...

"Iris Celadon" is a light blue Iriscreamy with light dust layers and creepy vibes. Lovely Halloween. Fluffy, musty and puffy, powdery and well-behaved. Definitely just dressing up, not a real witch. A little boring even. Skeleton made of fairy dust. Zombie with pudding wounds. Some facets of iris come out. Carroty ones. Makeupy. Old-fashioned. Hypothermic. Warm. White chocolate touches. I never say no to that. A high quality, simple iris drop. But there are better perfumes with my favorite flower. From "Dior Homme" to "1681." And that's why the Armani Privé yardstick probably hung a little too high.

Flacon: noble and matching color of the lid
Sillage: not gossamer, but close to it
Durability: 7 hours maximum - there would have to be something more in the price range

Conclusion: between muff and painting - a pale in the moonlight and yet inviting pulsating iris. Synthetics meets makeup meets haunted mansion.

Haunted castle iris?
AugustA's nose encounters something dull woody that is already so prominent in the top note that I don't know whether it smells sweet, cocoa or a bit musty. After a while I recognize it: Patchouli. Patchouli with iris in the form of powder = some kind of muff, although not quite unpleasant, rather with a little cocoa or coffee or flour or the like light (!) gourmandig. Not exactly flowery or fresh the top note after the first quarter of an hour.

Patchouli chlorine-iris. Again this Privé-Chlor, which has met with now already a few times too often... Somehow then nevertheless well. Ah, there's Mate and Ambrette... And again the cardamom, which sometimes doesn't smell so far away from soap-salt-aquatic. Well integrated here. Dry. slightly spicy, again a hint of cocoa.

The privés I've tried so far have something so ghostly in common. That's attractive, and AugustA therefore fidnet himself again and again at the Armani Privé fragrance altar with the Greens and smells at the meanwhile somewhat ollen bells.

By ghostly I mean: Impalpable, but sometimes also penetrant.
This one is not angry, you want to follow him as he floats around on the skin in bluish-green veils.

Then the fragrance becomes drier, the powder nutty and floral at the same time, light beige. Much better.

Celadon is a greenish bluish ceramic glaze, Chinese, medieval, very rare in Europe. A Chinese ghost, then. The colour is reminiscent of jade and the fragrance reflects this. A scent of iris in jade green. The Patchouli represents the connection between blue and green, grounded. Bring the blue over the green to earth. Here he walks now, the Chinese spirit.
In the haunted castle in the Spessart there were also green spirits. We'll do anything for you...! But this fragrance is the counterpart of shrill and rumbling (albeit sensationally wacky for time), which here is subtle and has depth.

Ambrette and Mate seem to be steering out the patch that has spread so wide on my skin. The scent becomes more pleasing with some distance, but when smelling directly at the skin still remains a strange musty touch, which I do not really like.

The fragrance also becomes pleasantly powdery over time. The iris melts beautifully with the cocoa, without dumping into the sweetness. On the contrary, it makes it almost dryer and although powder is a care component, it makes the fragrance both more dusty and more ethereal. A tender hand reaches for me and pulls me over into the spirit realm. Farewell...

Räusper, I'm still here.

Augusto finds: Smells like when porcelain breaks (or ceramics). He likes it better in the end than I do, let's see how it's done with him. To me the spirit exudes in the long run too badly this chlorous note and here still with dust. I just can't follow him all the way into the spirit realm... Although, he did have his moments...

First the base note becomes creamy, powdery soft and now very pleasant, not completely without wood and a little spice. If I had all that scent, I'd like it.

I'll try that again in winter. It smells somehow like a warm fleece sweater that you just pulled out of a box, a cup of cocoa in your hand.
That's okay, but not really good. Too much box.
The Privés are obviously not my style, although I try again and again. Something is always stuffy, musty or chlorous. But I am persistent.

Overt Musk
A very prominent quality of this fume' is its ^overt^ musk. Normally I find musk to be an exceedingly elusive aroma - a para-aroma if uw like, rather than a full-on specific aroma - for which I broach many analogies but always feeling that I never properly capture it: 'shimmering', 'slithering', etc. I read that it is really quite normal, the perceiving of musk in this way. However, this one has a muskiness that is more °concrete° in that I can point to it - purely mentally of course - & say "there, ^that^ aroma!". ~Knot~ by Bottega Venetta also has it.

It's a very rich & heavy 'fume. It °transitions° extremely well, to my mind (but I would not layer them together) with ~Iris Poudrée~ by Frederic Malle - the waxing of this merging seamlessly with the waning of that. And I think that is only to be expected.

This one has great weight, speaking in terms if the nature of it's content: rather opaque leathery & balsamic notes; or to broach analogy of music again, much more of the bass instruments entering in. The iris is much less °shrill° than in ~IP~, and the 'fume as a whole is a much comfier, cosier one. Indeed, it really is a ^very^ lush & opulent 'fume, smelling like it belongs rather in the office of some great & puissant minister in Whitehall than on me! It is certainly ^very^ much more demure: it pretty much completely lacks that brazen °lewdness° I speak of apropos ~Iris Poudrée~ & also ~Bruma~ by Trudon.

When fragrances tell stories...
The name fits so well!
An early summer's day at dawn, where the grass appears matt celadon green. Dew still hanging in the air mixes with the first rays of sunlight hitting a just-opening iris flower.

And yet it's so much more than just iris. I think the aldehyde makes the iris look so voluminous. It smells almost a little resinous and yet remains purely floral. Bedded on cardamom and bergamot. Ambrette and musk round it off. I find the listed mate exciting - I can't identify it - but it probably resonates in the overall fragrance.

Please don't be misled by the first few minutes of the fragrance. The spirit-like grandma's cleaning cupboard fades away!
Then it becomes flattering, creamy and sophisticated. Goes wonderfully with evening wear as well as everyday wear. I personally see it more on the feminine side.

If you like "cuir amethyste" but a little bit lighter/sweeter and more powdery..you will love "iris celadon"!!
