✅ a Beautiful addition to my collection, one of my fav old goodies...
✅ It smells like the air in an outdoor historic museum. Woodfires, pine buildings, soot and iron, and old cotton sheets and linens.
✅ Bois d’Iris is one of the most refined and understated fragrances I’ve had in my collection.
✅ I’ve probably smelled over a 1000 perfumes in my life , to this day Bois d'Iris Is the most beautiful scent I’ve ever experienced

❌ Hard to explain why, but Bois d'Iris simply smells..sad. Oddly melancholic...
❌ Bois d’Iris sounded promising but turned out dull and lifeless. The iris feels powdery and sterile...
❌ Unacceptably weak! One can't say a bad thing about the scent itself (when you're able to smell it)...
❌ Even weaker and slightly more boring Bois D'Argent. Pure mono iris stripped of its less pleasant earthly and carrotey aspects.
