    When I first tried this I thought it smelled just like band-aids! However, I've recently tried it again and thought it quite nice. It's light, delicate and I think soothing. I also think it...

    First impression: New car smell! With leather interior! And a manly Mediterrenean chauffeur wearing some kind of spicy bay rum aftershave at the wheel. And then you open your eyes. Ah, well. It was...

    This was by far the worst of the Les Exclusifs that I have tried. The fragrange starts with a sharp iris that fades within 10 minutes and within an hour it was totally gone. I was physically...

    Following the trend of iris solifore (using the absolute of the Iris pallida root), 28 La Pausa is a beautiful disappointment. Instead of the sheer, delicate caress comparable to a Chanel haute...

    When I first tried 28, La Pausa several months ago, I was generally turned off. I did not find the scent lasting and, therefore, did not see the sense of spending $200 on a bottle of it. However,...

    Being a lover of Irises, (I grow them in my garden) I had high expectations for this scent. I never really liked Hiris by Hermes and was hoping Chanel would offer a beautiful alternative. Well, I...

    When I first smelled this, I was in love. It opened with the most pure, chilly iris accord I've smelled. But just as I was trying to figure out how to finance a purchase of this stunning fragrance,...

    Next to 31, rue Cambon, 28 la Pausa is my favorite of the newest Chanel Exclusifs. 28 is retro and modern at the same time. It is indicative of a great perfumer who looks back at the passages of...

    I too smell Pleasures by Estee Lauder as mentioned already, except it's a little more green. It's nothing extraordinary, pleasant and generic. I'm quite disappointed so far with this line...I...

    28 La Pausa is very light, ethereal exercise in iris. Not the powdery, creamy orris butter that at the core of all the classic Geurlains; but rather a cool, airy rendition of this ethereal and...

    To me this opened very similar to Apres L'Ondee and I enjoyed the first ten minutes. It then settled into an anodyne floral - I can completely see the comparison to Pleasures although it's less...

    I tried all the Les Exclusifs at the Chanel store at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. I purchased 28 La Pausa because i loved the slightly dry and crisp iris scent. It is unusual and lovely, not for...

    28 La Pausa is an Iris eau de toilette. It spritzed on with a strong, peppery top, almost taking my breath away. Not a fan of Iris, I washed it off before it had a chance to develop...

    This was like following the growth of an iris plant, from root to tip. The opening had that pepperiness I associate with orris--mixed with an odd oil-paint note--then it gradually sweetened and...
