A veil of finest silverwood.
This fragrance is a bit like a breath of nothing - very subtle, not demanding in any way, reserved, simply pleasant.
"Bois d'Iris" is traded as a fragrance twin to the price-intensive "Bois d'Argent". Recently I often read that this is supposed to be the "more feminine" version of the Diorian bestseller. I can't judge that, because I simply don't know this one and that's not what this commentary is about. So let's dedicate ourselves to the essentials.
"Bois d'Iris" does not have a great scent. Everything is there somehow and instantly. There is the light iris, which neither scratches nor stings, but simply appears bright and wonderfully creamy. The salty notes are also there, but somehow hard to grasp and grasp. When trying to put them into words by comparisons from our everyday life, I reach my limits. I can only think of two adjectives, namely "dry" and "dusty".
And then there's vetiver - slightly smoky and very different from other fragrances. The sweet grass here is neither dark nor particularly green, but rather - probably to make friends with the iris - light and friendly, but at the same time woody. Is this perhaps the reason for the smell of these floral notes that are spoken of over and over again? Let's leave it up to each nose to decide for itself.
What do we have at the end?
We have a light, almost silver, so incredibly pure wood that exudes a very special magic. We find: a light, soft iris, smoky-friendly vetiver and a foundation of a little dry dust. And this composition is not as weak as the rating here on Parfumo might suggest. Truly, it's not particularly offensive, as you might know from other woody scents. It doesn't eat into the mucous membranes or flood building complexes, but it's always there somehow, like a second skin, so inconspicuous, yet not invisible, like a fine veil.
