Iris Malikhan Tester

My nose must be broken because I don't get green notes, just a creamy buttery iris, with fruity tart current, and a sweet vanilla base. The iris really shines for the first hour or so, then then it kind of gets more on the sweeter end. The dry down isn't bad it's just more on the sweet end for my liking and I wished that the iris stayed the main star. Now don't get me wrong, the iris doesn't disappear like the new Dior homme parfum (that's gone in like 15 mins), it stays throughout the fragrance but the vanilla and pink pepper become real co-conspirators. Overall this is a solid unique fragrance which I like, but I much prefer the first hour to the dry down.

One of the best iris scent profiles i have smelled so far, it is not just an iris note but a sweet, syrupy, chocolatey, leather, vanilla, spicy fragrance that gets you into a wild adventure, it has a good amount of depth that makes you wanna smell it more and more, it is a very good scent however to be honest i found it too overwhelming at the start, every time i smelled it, it got me feeling idk as if like the after smell it felt too sweet for me, but after 3-4 hours the dry down is better, the experience is amazing but the start of those idk like 1-3 hours for me it were too sweet, dry down is better, a top iris scent for sure.

Just got my 2ml sample and am testing it out for the first time. Early on, it's sweet, creamy, powdery and woody, but balanced. It's giving a distinct, crisp "new bill" note from the sharp contrast of dry, green galbanum mixed with leather and woody notes. The colder, green elements meet the warm, powdery iris and sweet vanilla base to create a high-end, starchy, cosmetic-meets-currency vibe. No baby powder here; it is definitely a powdery orris/iris fragrance and has that cosmetic quality, but it's all grown up. As it settles, the green note fades, the iris mellows, and vanilla and spices take over in the drydown.

i have been getting tired of the gourmands i usually wear and i don't want my signature scent to be something sweet anymore. so i got this one to try cause i thought it would be exactly the kind of woody/earthy scent i was looking for. i honestly didn't like it at first sniff bc i was expecting a little more iris. surprisingly it smelled warmer than earthy on my skin which i actually liked. definitely not gonna be my signature perfume but i can already think of so many days when i would've wanted to smell like this, in a wool sweater with that particular kind of cold in the air.

Starts off with earthy notes like grass & moss but these notes take only 30 minutes to fade away. In the drydown, it stays linear with musk and very creamy iris with a touch of sweetness, there is also still a little bit of greenness. I believe it is much more beautiful in the air rather than on the skin. Better than most iris classics imo. To my surprise, sillage is very very intimate, contrary to other reviews here. Longevity is decent, especially on clothes.
