Iris Dragee. Iris = iris = flower. Clear thing. But in some fragrances I've read dragee as a scent now and with that I initially evoked such dragees, like Pullmoll.... And something like that in perfume? Eh no. But here, on the outer packaging of the fragrance, there was finally a description that made my heart beat faster: sugared almond dragees. Paired with powdery iris. Hmm.

The scent is really soft, powdery, and sweet-almondy. But not sweet so that it blows you away, instead it wraps you up in a cozy softness! The iris is beautiful! The only downside to this scent, is the longevity.... It leaves a lot to be desired, which is actually a no go for a fragrance at this price point.... Still, it smells so uniquely beautiful that I had to have it in my collection!

I must say, I am quite surprised that this fragrance has received so little attention here. The perfume has namely in my opinion a great quality! (What you can expect for the rather high price though...) And it is yes also easily available in a well-known perfumery. I think that this fragrance would appeal to many. It is declared as a unisex fragrance. I generally find these gender assignments with fragrances rubbish, anyone can wear any perfume. This one, however, is very soft and plummy, which is why, if I were clueless, I would have put it more in the feminine division.

The fragrance notes are composed as follows:
Top notes: orange, bergamot
Heart notes: rose, lily of the valley
Base notes: cedar, vanilla, sandalwood, musk

The fragrance smells very clean and creamy and clean and is definitely suitable for every day and occasion. I came across it through the hair oil with the same fragrance, which I can also highly recommend! I find this scent surrounds you with a clean, warm feeling. Like warm, freshly washed, fluffy towels

So first I want to get rid that this yet very inexpensive fragrance has surprised me rather positively than negatively. Perhaps also because the expectations were rather low due to the price and manufacturer. The first thing that comes to mind is raspberry sherbet. Sweet, fruity, effervescent. Raspberry definitely dominates. However, when this fades away a lipstick like smell actually comes through. Definitely the kids lipsticks that remind you of childhood. Kind of nostalgic and nice. Then at the very end, the drydown residue actually has a bit of grown up lipstick! For the price, a nice gimmick! Especially if you like to reminisce about childhood princess pink lipstick memories! We don't even have to talk about the perfect pink color of the bottle do we? :)

I had this perfume as a teen and loved it. It was different than other fragrances from sports companies! It was soft and floral. It smelled like the bottle; like a light pink. There was no scent of aqautic or fresh notes. Never, without knowing it, would I have thought it was from Puma! Shame it's been discontinued, it really was particularly nice and for under 10€....

Stones really has a strong silage, which is not pleasant for everyone. The fragrance is in my opinion but not so powdery, he has rather what oriental in itself. When I first sprayed it on, it immediately reminded me of a scent I was familiar with. I went to my collection, reached for Zara Femme and.... Bingo! I think the fragrances smell seeeeevery similar, with Satin evolving even more over time and becoming softer on the finish. I would have imagined something even more delicate and soft under the name Satine though.
