To review Felanilla 21 by Pierre Guillaume Paris, we need a tiny flashback. Just a decade earlier than this article, there was (and is still ongoing, though less prominent) a trend of iris in the perfume industry, leading many niche and high-end perfumeries to release at least one perfume as a tribute to the grandeur of the flower to demonstrate the opulence of its powdery, earthy, enveloping femininity. Iris is absolute feminism. It’s the equivalent of a pearl necklace, silk lingerie covering delicate skin, and a sensual spirit. However, that’s for the iris itself and not all the creations around this ingredient are so. For example, in spite of its delicate and fluffy scent, the legendary Dior Homme Intense is still a perfume many men easily wear.
Coming to Felanilla 21, however, the borders of gender are ripped deliberately to keep us attached to the beauty of the scent itself. The beauty of an iris, which is vulgar and criminal. Yes, here in the composition, the iris is intertwined with vanilla, which has gained angular, raw, realistic, and slightly animalic aspects by getting mixed with hay, saffron, and amber. There’s also a pale hint of leafy greenness in the scent. However, the overall smell is something leathery, powdery, warm, slightly tobacco-ish, and angular.
No surprise that it has a strong longevity and sillage. It was everything a perfume needs to display its presence.
