  |  A dry woodland iris that is a very earthy violet flower scent with no powder to speak of. The iris leads to a soft animalic musk scent that blends to the skin of the wearer extremely well. Is it jasmine or cumin along with a touch of rose that gives the soft warm smell of hot skin just beneath the veil of iris flower. This is a sophisticated and very comfortable fragrance to wear. It comforts with warm dry yet very gentle aura of friendliness.21 July 2008 |
 | Iris, iris, and more iris. And a great version of it, too, devoid of powdery sweetness, smelling rooty like the real thing, not covered up by florals, and yet delicately sweetened, probably by an airy sandalwood base. I smell something delicately green and woody, maybe clary sage, or some other ehtereal note. And possibly a bit of pepper, which goes well with iris, like it did in Lancome Oxygene. This is in no way as earthy as Serge Lutens Iris Silver MIst. Its duration is regrettably short, as it comes off the skin in a heady, breezy rush. Enjoyable while it lasts. 05 June 2008 |
 |  I really love this scent - it's my favourite of all the Exclusifs - but it only lasts on me about an hour. And the bottle is far too big to lug around. Otherwise I would buy it. 13 July 2007 |
 | Simple, transparent iris plays a key role throughout this scent. Not overly complicated, though they could really work on the longevity. There's also a clean, innocent-like rose in it, I'll color it pink for this composition, all with an undercurrent of tender green notes. Skirts more on the feminine at first but becomes more masculine later on. It could easily be more mistaken for a sweeter version of Divine's L'Homme de Coeur with it's more markedly citrus cologne like notes. La Pausa is still a remarkable clean scent nonetheless. 19 March 2007 |
 | Very dry note overall. Perhaps too powdery for most. Interesting but not a easy scent to wear. 03 March 2007 |
