Fleur D'Iris

(2017) reading the reviews I guess I am at odds with most of them because this perfume for my sensibility stands for a great classic iris-perfume. of course as with all comparative reviews one sees how a perfume works different to different people. I immediately loved the 'Maitre Gantier et Parfumeur. Fleur d'Iris" as such, that I am on my second flacon. I love iris, love violets, love rose (which seems barely detectable here but no problem, therefor we have 'Rose Opulente'). there is the floweraspect which is lovely. then there is the earthy aspect predominantly in vetiver. the foremost characteristic I would give to this perfume is that it is 'chic', soit. in the same way Estée Lauders 'Knowing' is and Theo Cabanels 'Oha'. the powderiness with which the violet and iris surround you feels you can go on the street feeling like a million bucks. I love the Rose Opulente, Datura Secrète and well, Fleur d'Iris of this chic perfume house. (2020) another chic perfume of Maitre Gantier et Parfumier. and what a clear and at once mystique Iris perfume. Iris and Violet and Rose for me are easy to discern. Jasmine and Vanilla seamlessly blend in this already flowery party. I do not feel this perfume has 'greenness' but the 'chlorophyll' comes entirely from the Iris (orris). the Vetiver lays a bedding to conduct the drydown. artificial musks I can not smell. the Amber here is more of an abstract support, perhaps given in by the Violet, Vetiver [and chemical musk]. as it may be, this is quite a superior perfume. I am on my 2nd flacon and again the 100ml. with Rose Elegante and Secrète Datura this Maison is a stunner !
