Pros & Cons
- ✅ A gorgeous powdery woody scent.
- ✅ One of the best perfumes for warm and rainy weather.
- ✅ I love the opening and dry-down.
- ✅ Absolutely beautiful fragrance.
- ✅ Bois d'Iris is one of the most refined and understated fragrances I’ve had in my collection.
- ✅ A beautiful addition to my collection, one of my fav old goodies...I should say it is a seasonal perfume that can only preform in a certain climates...I love it even if it does not give me that explosive iris performance I desired...Over all 8/10
- ✅ It smells like the air in an outdoor historic museum. Woodfires, pine buildings, soot and iron, and old cotton sheets and linens. Fresh, clean, airy- but aged and earthy, too. ... It's an incredibly refined and beautiful fragrance, with so much depth.
- ✅ Bois d’Iris is one of the most refined and understated fragrances I’ve had in my collection. ... Quiet, refined, and perfectly balanced. Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 Projection: 6/10
- ✅ 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 💜
- ❌ Unacceptably weak!
- ❌ This perfume is soooooooo weak.
- ❌ Bois d’Iris sounded promising but turned out dull and lifeless.
- ❌ Even weaker and slightly more boring Bois D'Argent.
- ❌ Interesting opening. But quickly turns blah
- ❌ Hard to explain why, but Bois d'Iris simply smells..sad. Oddly melancholic, it makes me feel nostalgic and puts a cloud over my day...
- ❌ Bois d’Iris sounded promising but turned out dull and lifeless. The iris feels powdery and sterile, with a faint woody soapiness that disappears too quickly. No depth, no warmth, just a bland whisper of a scent.
- ❌ Unacceptably weak! One can't say a bad thing about the scent itself (when you're able to smell it), but the notes included are very light and there is nothing to support them.
- ❌ This perfume is soooooooo weak. ... The smell itself is hardly there!
