    I am only recently into aldehyde scents. I still find hard to love the "reference aldehyde" scents such as Chanel No.5. However, Iris Poudre is a lovely floral aldehyde, not sharp at all. There is...

    A floral aldehyde very similar to Lanvin's Arpege, but a more modern, lighter, sweeter version.

    I received a sample of this from FM, along with Carnal Flower and En Passant. Although it's very different from Carnal Flower, I love it just as much. I was worried it would smell too "flowery" ...

    This is a beautiful aldehydic fragrance that is heavenly, soft, and very luxe. Wearing it makes me feel instantly elegant, like being wrapped in the softest cashmere. One of my favorites.

    A pleasant powdery iris. This starts off as quite cool-smelling, if that makes sense, but after a couple of hours the coolness fades and I get a cosy powdery warmth. <BR> <BR> I received this as...

    Iris Poudre is a HG scent for me. Based on the notes, I didn't think I would like it. I'm relatively indifferent to iris scents, typically find white-flower fragrances smothering, and used to...

    This one took more getting used to than Lipstick Rose, another superb FM fragrance. At first spray, the aldehydes literally hit you in the face; there seems to be no trace of iris in the mix; ...

    Smells like pure alcohol in the vial. Once on the skin, it opens sharp and loud, drying down to mid with a creamy makeup-y violet that's lovely, with hints of Camay soap. I'd say a good blend of...

    I adore iris and dislike aldehydes, and unfortunately for me the aldehydes win in Iris Poudre. (My skin must amplify aldehydes, as I have the same problem with the classic Chanel 5.) I get nothing...

    I've had two samples now of Iris Poudre, years apart, and I have to confess that I still do not understand it. I'm an iris lover. I get mostly cedarwood and/or sandalwood and very little iris in...

    I have been thoroughly enjoyed my day with this sample. It's a very pleasant, soft, warm scent that isn't too sweet. I find it very easy to wear, but I'm currently looking for a drop-dead...

    I adore Iris Poudre. This to me is reminiscent of Chanel No.5, but sweeter. It also has this sparkly top note, like the fizz of champagne. Iris Poudre is a warm, classic, elegant scent.

    Very powdery, vintage, cooling. Excellent rendition of an old fashioned style of perfume.
