Pros & Cons
- ✅ Really beautiful opening of starchy rice and crisp bergamot, followed by a bouquet of candied green violets, heliotrope, and powdery and earthy iris.
- ✅ Clean, powdery, creamy, smooth, melancholic purple floral fragrance. Great for layering and has slightly above average performance.
- ✅ I am in love with the note composition - iris, musk, rice, knew this will be right up my alley in my recent powdery phase.
- ❌ I don't smell mimosa per se, but there's a kind of sharpness and acrid pungency... This is indeed a rather detached formal iris that is earthy, dry and borderline detergent-like.
- ❌ Soapy orris, with a faint hint of pickles over the whole thing. Unisex. At one point, I did note a fleeting hint of powder, but it's really more a woody scent.
- ❌ This fragrance is a mysterious, cool-toned iris with a vintage makeup powder base. Not a safe, crowd-pleasing blind buy.
