I had a sample lying around for months and decided to try it a few days ago. And at first spray I said wow this is so strong and peppery but in about 15 minutes it turned into the most amazing Iris...

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. Mr. Ellena has performed his...

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,...

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...

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...

This is a beautiful, cool, woody iris with just a touch of sweetness. I love the slight peppery note of the narcissus, and the touch of muted earthiness from the vetiver - they wrap round the...

The Different Company Bois d'Iris provides the sweetness of a real iris, including a honey accord, but the woods make it soft and smooth rather than refreshing and dewy. It is the most beautifully...

This iris was not quite feminine enough for me, although certainly it is a true-iris note. Bois d'Iris as a whole is a dry scent, earthy smelling, spicy and woody. There is cedar and vetiver in...

Cool, mysterious, sensual: it's the fragrance equivalent of a Hitchcock blonde. It's mellow, soft, and subtle; draws people closer to you. Gorgeous, and the best of the line.

Although I just purchased a decant, I do love the Different Co.'s bottles, very clean design. The Bois d'Iris was all I had hoped for, as I long for spring I have been searching for the ultimate...

Another winner from The Different Company. This line has its detractors; they contend that the featured notes (especially the floral ones) smell nothing like they do in real life. I have no quarrel...

I'm not a single note lover, so I found this one boring, in addition to the osthmanthus one. I suppose if you like the smell of violets/iris, you might give this a whirl, but there are other one...

I received a generous sample oif this scent from a dear friend and I am loving it so. I thought it would be sickly sweet or terribly powdery but in fact is lovely. A tad powdery upon first dab but...
