Review of Hiris by Marta Regina Jabłońska

From the very first moment, an elegant iris embraces you. The opening is enhanced by a pinch of spices, making the powdery iris somewhat suffocating. At this stage, I detect a certain resemblance to Chanel No. 19. Yet while Chanel, with its French, nonchalant je ne sais quoi, is more daring, Hermès presents a similar mood with a more reserved question: “May I? I hope I’m not disturbing you?” Like a refined lady with a distinctive personality, whose impeccable manners would never allow anyone in her company to feel overwhelmed. These notes settle fairly quickly, giving way to a more classical powderiness. Honey and vanilla form an exceptionally subtle background, accompanied by smooth woods. The flacon is as refined as the fragrance itself.
