    I sampled this and find it somewhere between the greenness of Chanel No 19 with iris and some aldehydes an interesting mixture. I like the opening and the dry-down but did not care for the...

    28 La Pausa To me it smells like a dry-scented violet in a paper-shop. Absolutely wonderful.

    From the bottle this smells like a heavy with fragrance with leather undertones but it is actually very softspoken on my skin. Perhaps too softspoken. What I get from La Pausa is a watercolour...

    This is a very transluscent, sheer, crystaline type of fragrance. There is noticeable rooty iris here, but it is dressed up with cold, aquatic, mandarin/fruity type notes, which manage to whisper...

    Notes: iris, woods, green notes and powdery notes. This fragrance opens with dry, powdery iris. There are no dewey, green nuances like you find in Hiris and there are no overly earthy, rooty...

    I cannot comprehend the reviews for this- I think someone peed in my sample. Because I get a split second of something vaguely fruity, then a sharp slap of cat piss. It's vile.

    Chanel's take on CK One and Azzaro Chrome. Floral with a dash of nail polish remover. Much more pleasant than the other two, but still not my type of thing.

    I bought the biggest 200 ml bottle of 28 La Pausa unsniffed and this is my second day wearing it. At first the opening reminded me a little bit of Chanel no 19, but a toned down version of it. It...

    Beautiful, just beautiful. Full soapy iris of highest quality. Unlike others, I actually find this has quite good sillage and get lovely wafts of iris root and flower beauty for a good hour. ...

    Lovely , soft iris. In La Pausa, the iris is not cold, not metallic nor sharp as it could be in Hermès Hiris or in SMN Città di Kyoto. It resembles more to Iris Pallida (but Iris Pallida is better,...

    A beautiful soapy/clean iris scent. Very pretty and feminine. I wouldn't of imagined this was a Chanel fragrance as I find most heavy and cloying (sorry fans). But 28 La Pausa is soft and clean....

    In general, I've not sought out an iris note in fragrances, so consider this review as coming from someone who has no higher standard measure. <P> Iris is fascinating for its many...

    I got a sample of this amazing fragrance and I am in love. I had to buy the 200mL bottle. it takes me somewhere else as soon as I smell it. Clean, sharp, however it is still soft and alluring very...

    No good. Disappointment. I smell iris but it's stale, and earthy but not moist earth like after a rainstorm but thick, dense clay earth rather than loamy rich soil. A bit like fertilizer actually....

    This has iris as a component, but does not scream it. There is plenty of green too. It is a very pretty spring and summer scent. Unlike Apres l'Ondee (which a few people here have compared this...

    Starts out like Apres l'Ondee but then seems like a weak imitation of it. Too bad. The thing about it is that it is delicate and refined smelling. That's pretty great by itself.

    I am surprised by the number of bad reviews 28 La Pausa has had as I found it subtly beautiful and refined. It does open in a similar way to Apres l'Ondee, although without the anise note, and...
