Iris Poudre

I’m obsessed with iris scents and this one might be my favorite! I love that it’s powdery and sort of creamy, while also having a musky scent. I find it very elegant. I sometimes have a hard time with aldehydes but I think this one has the perfect mixture of notes. Absolutely love it!!

I wanted to love this because I fell so deeply in love with Diptyque’s Fleur De Peau, and wanted to try other powdery perfumes, but this is an abomination. Iris Poudre smells like an old lady’s dirty diaper left in a freshly cleaned gas station restroom. It’s horrendous. And I held out hope for the dry down to reveal something alluring, something that lived up to the glowing reviews I’ve seen , but it only seemed to get worse. I’m glad I got the chance to get a sample through Scent Split before buying a full bottle from Frederic Malle. That would have been a regrettable purchase. Love Scent Split, but dislike this perfume.

This fragrance is too powdery and dusty for me. It’s powerful, but not in a good way. After it dries down for a few hours it smells pleasant. But, at this price point I need immediate enjoyment.

Nice opening and love the dry down. Powdery but not extremely so and still floral and musky.

First impression: a cool, luxurious floral scent! The first notes I detect are ylang-ylang, violet, and lily, followed by a hint of sandalwood..

The vile broke in transit

Very Floral . Complex & Sexy!! They say unisex but my wife wears it, and to me it smells more feminine.

Stunning. Pierre Bourdon is a genius.

Iris Poudre is a soft floral a little powdery. A comfortable, lady's fragrance for year round wear. Very refined and luxurious. I could tell the difference between it and other brands.
