   |  I'm impressed. After the initial blast of hairspray (bergamot), there is a slightly sweet anise accord followed by an herbal (definately sage, maybe lavender) iris note that I like. Drydown is dry musty powder with just a hint of sweetness. This is L'Heure Bleue on a budget or Lolita Lempicka on a diet. This fragrance is pared down to a few quality ingredients and it is truly unisex. Will this become part of my "regular rotation" of fragrances? Probably not, but it is worth at least 3.5 stars. And I know that I will finish the bottle...21 June 2009 |
 | This heady perfume, of the 'purple patchouli' persuasion, is excellent! I love the sparkling manner in which bergamot opens this stunner! Given it's name, the main flower here should be iris...but my nose keeps getting rose instead? Not a bother though, this rose is extremely pretty. A dry, almost peppery-chypre-ish rose...if that's possible! Love the rich basenotes too, patchouli, tonka and styrax. Perfect for the cool fall days right around the corner. Oh yeah, this one won't break your budget either. A winner in every way. 22 September 2008 |
 | Of late, "purple patchouli" fragrances have been shining brightly on my radar. Indult Isvaraya is the Godzilla amongst them--love the drydown ... at a distance. Iris Noir is a much tamer candidate. Its sweetness is blackberry-like. I'll hold on to my Rocher mini and continue sniffing for the ultimate in this category--sweet, but not too, with a cultured patchouli presence. Next on the list to try: Tom Ford Purple Patchouli and Trish McEvoy Sexy #9. 12 September 2008 |
 | This iris scent makes use of fruity rose and earthy patchouli notes as counterpoints to the powdery, rooty, coolness of the iris. These notes cause Iris Noir to resemble another fragrances in this series--YL Rose Absolu, one of my favorites. However, Iris Noir veers away from the spicy sweetness of Rose Absolue and moves toward the powdery coolness of iris. It pleasant, wearable, and a nice compromise for those who find the iris note a bit challenging. 12 December 2007 |
