There is something vegetal about this perfume. Perhaps a raw carrot or beet, decidedly bitter and smelling of dirt. There is also a powdery sweetness, which is the more typical iris note that most...

Reminds me a bit of mothballs, very interesting, and I understand why it can turn some people off too. Wearability could be low, I'm trying to understand it.

Iris Silver Mist is the olafactory equivilent of the cold foreboding mist that rolls across darkened graveyards in horror films. The one that apprears right before the soon-to-be victim begins...

OK, well I don't really hate this, let's just say I don't "appreciate" it; I don't dislike it, but I'm not like meh, it's alright, I get the feeling that no, I wouldn't reach for this, because it's...

I soooo wanted to love this fragrance, but, truth be told, I don't even like it. I'm not a connoisseur, but I know what I like and don't like. Usually I lean toward floral, powdery scents (Cashmere...

I like everything about this, even the cold, vegetal and dirt-like opening. Spritzing this on is like taking a cold shower in the morning, a little shocking but invigorating. It dries down to a...

This is definitely a bizarre perfume. The first few minutes were painful: it smelled of something cold and medicinal-ly green. It is a very peculiar, metallic smell that I have not found before in...

No sorry I don't get this one, it starts of smelling like wet dirt with a metallic tang and then gets all powdery and old lady like (I smell like my nanna did) with a slightly off smell, I keep...

Let me start off by saying that I normally don't like flowery scents. ISM was included in a lot perfume decants and samples that I purchased a few weeks ago. Included were two 10ml bottles of...

I have tried to like this, but the opening half hour is so bitter and off putting that I can't get past it - it's metallic and sharp in the worst way. The dry down is a light musky violet - which...

I am not likely to add much beyond what others have written but... I wanted to add my vote to the those in the "love it" camp. I definitely get the carrotty, earthy dry notes at the beginning, and...

There are very few perfumes I can stand to sniff on a scent stick, let alone wear. But I keep looking (well, smelling) .... Got this in a sample scent of iris-oriented scents from PerfumedCourt...

It is mossy, earthy and metallic. Dry, dry dry. So dry your throat feels like drinking some water just after smelling that! (at least I had to do it!). Has a hint of sheerness, the color "silver"...

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... icy cold and mood altering scent, but not in a good way. Basically if the Dementors in the Harry Potter mythology had a scent... this would be it. Icy cold iris' and some...

I ran out of my sample today. As I smell the remnants of this beautiful iris (I've applied it once about 12 hours ago), I know I'll own it. I'm already scheming to get a decant for my birthday....

I recently sampled this. I had great hopes, but found myself a little disappointed. I love iris scents, and this is definitely a true iris. There is no violet, and no modern sharpness. It...

I changed my mind. It's a sublime Iris. It is not a setting of iris, the composition transcends it, all the facetts shout and murmur "iris", to summon up a sort of apparition. The dried orris...

Imagine my surprise when I dabbed on Iris Silver Mist, with images of a frozen winter garden dancing in my head, and was greeted with the smell of...carrots? Actually, it was something right in...
