    I like this iris, but it isn't my favorite. For someone who loves and collects iris fragrances, this is unique enough to add to a collection of iris perfumes. For someone like me--someone who...

    Notes: Guatemalan coriander, iris, jinkoh wood, Fig tree honey, Mexican vanilla. This fragrance opens with a very sweet accord reminiscent of dark, gooey caramel. The sweet notes are layered onto...

    This has been renamed Iris Oriental. It is my HG fragrance-a gorgeous, sensuous mix of iris and woods that I crave when I've gone too long without it. On me (a female), this is slightly sweet-not...

    this is a very sexy product indeed, but for a man. I thought this sat too far back in the man cave to be worn by a woman. But if I smelled this on a man, I just might make better use of that man...

    I love Iris Taizo -- it's taught me to appreciate the note as cooler settings for iris haven't. The rooty coolness of iris combined with woody, honeyed and almost chocolate-y warmth create a very...

    Subtly sweet & spicy, and a beautiful version of iris. Opening alternates between Iris & complex but low-key incense.. after a bit they blend to a lovely, softly spiced iris. The far dry down is...

    This is the Aveda type Iris scent. It is all rooty earthy goodness--it makes me feel healthy just sniffing it, it's so herbal and wholesome. Not for everyone to be sure, but one of the more...

    Wood is the primary note here, as other reviewers have observed. A bit of the earthy-type iris, some of that sweet honey and a roundness at the back that might be cardamom in disguise. Cardamom,...

    Gawd, this is pretty. I keep reaching for my decant over and over. This is the city cousin to Bois d'Iris... but she is powdered, smooth, always serene, grounded yet airy... sublime. This is not...

    Pleasantly cool iris, warm spices and just a hint of honey blend together for balanced and smooth scent. Distinctive, pretty, and not too sweet or overtly floral.

    Oh my goodness, heartbreaking beautiful, woody, earthy, foresty iris scent. Not a powdery, or a rooty-carroty iris. I love Hermes' Hiris, but this is very different, very unisex but not too...

    On a first sniff I was disappointed by Iris Taizo, because I've been loving iris lately and this isn't immediately recognizable as an iris scent, at least not to me. Not at all like the ethereal,...

    I was so excited to smell Iris Taizo but I’m afraid it doesn’t live up to my hopes. To me it smells very much like Refresher sweets. My mother detected a bit of onion in it. It gives me a slight...

    A very wearable iris, without excessive earthiness, dryness or powder. It is mixed with woods, resins and some honey/vanilla in the drydown. What I love in the PG perfumes I tried to far is that...

    This smells like Miller et Bertaux #1 and Iris. I smell the cardamom, the iris, and the wonderful woody dry down. I like this despite the fact that iris is not my favorite note. Fans of the SL...

    I adore this scent! I found other iris scents to be too ethereal, feathery, powdery and cold. Iris Taizo has a spicy honey and cardamom opening that makes me swoon! Then the resinous iris...

    This is a lovely woods-iris blend that starts off spicy and dry and gets progressively softer and rounder with drydown. The iris is very light, and the sweet vanilla-honey base notes are gentle and...

    Yes, woods, I totally agree with paschat. That is why it was so disappointing for me--I like my fragrances heavy on the iris not on the woods. If you take Viv Westwood's Anglomania and remove the...
