L'Iris

My FAVORITE of Santa Maria Novella

The greatest magic that man cannot imagine, he can only smell. A perfume that creates a feeling of infinite wealth and the summer garden of a woman who is adored and aware of her worth.

It literally smells like irises as they open in the early spring. Beautiful, light but significant. Super feminine. Unique..

I don’t know how to describe it but I can say it reminds me of how my beloved late aunt’s home smelled back in the 70’s. It’s a light and delicate scent to me but lasts. It reminds me a touch of powder and light florals…. But it’s a beautiful scent like I’ve never used before. I use it certain nights before I go to bed and some nights I’ll use Melograno, it just depends on my mood. Melograno is definitely a stronger scent to me, it’s sharper to the nose. I also wear them during the day and interchange them depending on how I feel, what I’m wearing, and the weather…I received a sample of L’Iris and had to have it! I wish we could get samples of all the offerings. I also had purchased the discovery set before purchasing Melograno… but there’s so many more I’d like to try and I’m nowhere near a store that carries these!

This perfume is so dreamy! I have been on the hunt for a well-balanced floral perfume and finally found it!!! I think the pepper, neroli, musk, and ambergris do a perfect job of balancing the iris, especially since almost all floral perfumes make me nauseous So excited I found this, and I will be using this to replace LeLabo's ambrette.
