    I think this fragrance is gorgeous & this is why I can't come to rate it below a 4. However, I can't tolerate it on me because it is SO strong (and I don't generally shy away from strong scents). ...

    The perfume of understated elegance, refinement, and superb taste. The florals are mossy and dry and bring to mind silk flowers. This is a "blue", powdery fragrance, and yet the floral notes ring...

    I accidentally received a sample of Iris Poudre from a lovely Ebay seller (I had ordered Ormonde Jayne) - - what luck! It has become my HG scent of the moment. I agree that it resembles Arpege,...

    Wow. This scent is so incredibly amazing. I am in love, seriously. I wish I could bathe in this scent. I especially love the slightly intense aldehyde at the beginning. The drydown is nice as...

    I have had a tester of iris Poudre sitting around for the past several months. Every time I have pulled it out, I hesitated and tried something else for three reasons. I hate the thought of Poudre,...

    Delicate, womanly, knowing. It’s a soft powdery-sweet iris and violet; but not as playful as I usually find violet to be--the iris keeps it calm, cool and collected. I love the review envisioning...

    I purchase Iris Poudre as a decant from a certain wonderful E-bayer who does some lovely decants, so the price issue doesn't affect me because I feel like the decant prices are worth it. On me,...

    This is a wonderful addition to my perfume collection.This starts off a little intense but quickly softens to a soft,cool and dry semi sweet fragrance. It is lightly green,the iris is soft and...

    Lots and lots of "poudre" suffocating a sweet, innocent iris. Luckily, I don't mind powdery fragrances, so I think Iris Poudre is pretty. It's a little too stuffy for my tastes, though.

    Read Maller's review. She nailed it! When you get past the first stage, the most true-to-life iris ever in perfume is revealed.

    Iris Poudre was my second discoverey from the Malle line several years ago. As I mentioned in my review of Noir Epices, I find that all (or most) of the scents smell like "something else". This...

    Aldehyde phobics, be warned - only put on a very small amount and then quickly distract your nose for the next fifteen minutes or so. Brew some strong Guatemalan coffee, put your wrists behind...

    I get the detached, cool, mature sensations from this iris fragrance. None of the warmth of Musc Ravageur, however. It's a good scent, nonetheless, and while it won't be a purchase for me, I'm glad...

    This is simply perfection incarnated. I would give it ten lippies if I could. I don't think there's much I can add to the previous reviews. This is a classic, modern, elegant and comforting floral,...

    This is magnificent. The previous reviewer's description--"artistic rendition of iris"--is very apt--I'm thinking especially of Van Gogh's iris painting. This reminds me of Creed's 2000 Fleurs,...

    Smells like jasmine more than iris. For that reason, I like it! (I dislike most other iris scents.) It is warm and soft, unlike most iris scents which I find cold and sharp.
