A peppery start that is bracing in its coming and which I love so much. Clove-y warmth and iris coolness mingle to produce a wonderful and different iris fragrance.

This is what Iris Silver Mist refused to be--it insisted on being Serge Lutens-weird; it enchanted me at first, then I wanted to slap it and send it away. Bois d'Iris is perfect peppery orris,...

I had high expectations for this, but alas, it was not to be.
I too get very little jasmine and the particular spices smell more like seasoning for rack of lamb than the cinnamon-y spice I was...

Golly. This is so beautiful!!!
Iris, woods and violets. Womanly, soft, creamy, comfy and elegant. It's seductive in a very quiet way, simple and glamorous at the same time. It could have been...

I agree with the reviewer who says this smells more like watery green tea than a citrusy fragrance (maybe watery green tea with a touch of lemon). It's pleasant and the more I wear it the more lush...

It does start off lemony and herbal, and then evolves into a fresh, tart orange fragrance. The lasting power on me was enough to experience the orange stage, but for a couple of hours at the most....

Apparently in the perfume world "osmanthus" is a secret code word for "unspecified floral scent that can be taken in any direction the perfumer pleases." Took me some time to understand this and...

Wow! Wow! I put this in the general bucket of "dirty" perfumes that smell like body parts. The cumin/coriander (I have issues telling these two apart in perfumes right now) is very apparent at...

I agree with the reviewer below that this is all Nuit and no Jasmin. Well, perhaps at the beginning, there a thin, fleeting topnote of jasmine that whines softly and pitifully to be heard over the...

I've never smelled a jasmine quite like this and I love it! Soft, spicy and sexy!

More Poivree than Rose, by far. This is a strong pink pepper fragrance, with hints of corriander, basil, lemon, and a soft background of pink roses. The roses are weak and pale enough for the...

A softer jasmine than A La Nuit - I like both, but this is quieter and more wearable for me. The spices are quite muted on my skin; in fact, the whole thing is quite nice and soft. I do get the...

A lightly spiced jasmine scent, nowhere as potent as SL's A la Nuit. This is not terrible, but I'm a bit turned off by the anise (HATE anise in fragrances) and a very musty jasmine. Then again,...

Holy crap! This is amazing! I really thought I hated it when first applied as it was woody and harsh on my nose but about 2 minutes later it became this insanely soft, cedary/woody, slightly...

In garden catalogs you sometimes see roses described as having a peppery scent, such as the Cecile Brunner which I've grown in the past. This is NOT the peppery scent of a Cecile Brunner or any...

Jasmin de Nuit vs. SL's version of jasmine, A la Nuit. "De" vs. "A la"...must brush up on my French because there is a *universe* of difference between those two interpretations of jasmine. TDC...
