Iris Silver Mist is soo different, and as well van Arpel & Cleef Bois iris or sg like hat is also very very good, but .. I am stuck here with the silver one. I have to give me a bottle for present at spring. At the moment I love the suspense of not having it!!

It was sooo magic when they were open after sunset.... I f you like the heliotrope, you have to smel heliotrope by Etro, it's exactly that sweet honey-ish... but very good! I could have bought it butI am stuck with Iris Silver Mist......it is so unexpected that i got obsessed by this perfume. It's like the feeling that you definetely know this type of man does not appeal to you and you find yourself desperately in love with someone of this type... I don't know if that makes sense:-? Cause I thought I did not like Iris. Yes for me it’s also a childhood memory, they had also white, pink, end deep purple colour. It was sooo magic when they were open after sunset….

Clary Sage (essential oil) does that*tripping on a olfactory high*thing for me too. And most recently Oud/Agarwood. They all have a strange quality that just bumps me out of everyday reality and sends my spirit/imagination soaring. For me Lavendar was the first scent that triggered an OBE(out of body experience)...must have been all of 6 at the time. lol. Mmm, Labdanum. Yummy.

But I sprayed it and, nothing! Most odd. I have no anosmias that I'm aware of, but could not smell this at all. I sprayed some on a tissue for later, and after a while I could smell it on that. I thought it was mostly amber and ginger. Nice, but not specially labdanum-y. I wish they'd had samples so I could give it a proper try on skin, but no. So I ended up buying a small bottle of their L'Ambre. After all, I didn't want to waste a trip... ;-) Noteshat haunt me? Hmm. Is galbanum the thing that gives Bandit and Azuree their bite? If so - that. Amongst other things, depending on my mood, of course! I can't really pick just one. Oh, I tried that L’Occitane Labdanum, in fact I made a special trip for it.

A darling MUAer gifted me with a bottle, and I've been enjoying it all fall. It's not the vintage, alas, which I hear is even more awesome, but I'm delighted with it. I've read about vintage Vent Vert being ah-mazing, and the modern not so much. Yes, yes, my list for TPC is always growing longer and longer. :) Thanks for the good suggestions! Love Jolie Madame.
