Irisistible by April Aromatics

One of the most real iris based scents that I ever come across   THE PERFUME The Iris flower earned its name from the ancient Greek Goddess Iris, a messenger to the Gods, who was thought to use the rainbow as a bridge between heaven and earth. The ancient Greeks believed the rainbow was actually the flowing, multi-colored robe of Iris. Thus these flowers were named to honor the rainbow Goddess and bring favor upon the earth.   “Goddess Iris gifts humanity with the understanding that all aspects of life are sacred and it is in the weaving of the dark and light within ourselves that we find our wholeness.” The Iris flower represents royalty and nobility and was considered to be a symbol of kings and queens for hundreds of years. This perfume contains the sweetest yellow Iris Pallida from Italy; it is joined by white Jasmine Grandiflorum from India, red Rose absolute from Bulgaria, yellow Lemon from Italy, white Tuberose blossoms from India, a touch of orange Cass...

Shalimar by Guerlain

Imagen
An icon and a reference in perfumery THE PERFUME Guerlain, 1925, Jacques Guerlain. Four centuries ago, in India, Emperor Shah Jahan fell head over heels in love with Princess Mumtaz Mahal. He had the splendid Gardens of Shalimar built for her, and later dedicated the Taj Mahal, one of the new seven wonders of the world. This incredible story inspired the imagination of Jacques Guerlain, who in 1925 created Shalimar, the first oriental perfume. Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar, which means "temple of love" in S anskrit, symbolizes the promise of eternal love. It is a fragrance of desire. With its passionate and slightly insolent character, this emblematic oriental fragrance in the history of perfumery embodies the sensuality of caress with a touch of the forbidden. "To wear Shalimar is to be dominated by the senses," said Jacques Guerlain. In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Gu...

Impossible Iris by Ramón Monegal

A perfume created for a bride... My devotion for the iris note in perfumery always leads me to discover new perfumes and revisit the classics so here I found a true gem from 1977 that are based around the intriguing and always beautiful iris root note. The composition is utterly special but hat makes this perfume truly unique and even more special is because it's Ramon's first personalized perfume and he made it for the a bride who is his wife today. Used in perfumery as far back as 1480 to scent linen, orris is a mysterious and irreplaceable ingredient. Harvested from the root of Iris Pallida, orris is nearly odorless until if undergoes a few years of maturation. Once orris is distilled to become orris butter, a semi-solid essential oil, the aroma attracts many in different ways. Depending on how it's interpreted in a perfume, it can smell like anything from sweet to woody to powdery. But indisputably, it's one of the rarest and finest ingredients in the olfacti...

Melt my Heart by Strangelove NY

Imagen
A unique and majestic perfume composed by Christophe Laudamiel PREFACE A gourmand lover’s dream, but really so much more than just a delicious smell, Melt My Heart is an oil-based fragrance that captures the dizzying sensation of falling in love. And if you imagine that to feel like falling slowly backwards into a featherbed filled with fluffy orris butter and dark chocolate, well, then your vision lines right up with that of Strangelove NYC. Creamy, soft, and utterly addictive, this scent combines the mouthfeel of powdered white chocolate and lipstick with the velvety bitterness of 85% cocoa. Real orris butter, costlier than most other perfumery materials and described by Chandler Burr as “liquid good taste”, has been used generously here to give the more edible elements spaciousness and lift, like a puff of silvery breath on the cold air. It is the “white” element that contrasts so effectively with the dulcet bitterness of the dark chocolate note. Real oud, ginger, and mandar...
