I am a huge fan of Orris. However, it often wears too cool or flat for me in a soliflore composition. Therefore, I rarely wear it alone, or have to find it in blended perfumes (Misia is a current favorite). In blends, I sniff endlessly in search of the Orris, never satisfied that I am getting enough.
Irisss is the exception. Orris is right there, the entire time. This is not so much a “perfume”, but a performance, a perfect interpretation of Orris. While Oriss is by far the predominant note, and this perfume has the “feel” of a soliflore, it most certainly is not. Xerjoff has meticulously selected supporting notes, used in homeopathic quantities. In minute amounts, Jasmine and Rose add a palatable sweetness, Violet supports the powder, and Carrot Seed gives lift. Vetiver enhances the earthy quality of the Orris, and Musk adds a skin feel that Orris lacks on its own. I can’t even detect the other stated notes. Doesn’t matter, they are behind the scenes doing what they should- supporting the undeniable and perfect star of this show: Orris.
Yes, the price is absurd, but perfection doesn’t come cheap.

This is one of those scents I find difficult to write about simply because the price is so ridiculous it detracts from my enjoyment of the fragrance. If I go by the perfume alone ($700 + price tag and unimaginative name aside), well, it’s beautiful. Irisss is nearly identical to Iris Silver Mist in the beginning, only…wow, I can’t believe I’m saying this…better. ISM has been my favorite iris since I tried it several years ago, but Irisss is even more amazing. Both are rooty, metallic, earthy, but Irisss is even more well-blended than ISM. And though I prefer ISM because of its rootiness, I also love a softer iris, such as DelRae’s Mythique. Comparing the drydown of Mythique to Irisss: Irisss dries down to a soft, light and airy carrot-y iris. It’s much lighter and less powdery than Mythique. Very smooth. I love this, but I’d never pay that amount. I prefer keeping Mythique and splurging on a full bottle of the non-export ISM. I’d be just as happy with that and could still have water, heat and gas money. I’ve been in the Murano shop in Venice and purchased a clock; I understand the beauty of the bottle. I understand purchasing Xerjoff can give a fantastic feeling to someone who loves the line, not to mention the luxurious feel of owning a scent and bottle you know few others own. Knowing all of this does not make the price any less silly to me. I don’t want to, but I feel I have to take off a lippie for the exorbitant amount Xerjoff is asking.

Forgive me for being harsh on this perfume, which is assuredly well-crafted and lovely. I just personally don’t like it. This is coming from a hater of Clive Christian’s 3 perfumes for women. It’s not that I hate British perfumery, because I love Theo Fennell’s Scent and Azury-Partridge’s Stoned. Maybe I hate Classic British perfumery.
This falls, to my nose, under that Classic category. Big “nosegay” scent, curled and set like the Queen’s wig, dusted with lime talcum powder. Sides of lace and grommets and pantaloons. With some buckled shoes and a walking stick kind of snooty-formal. Were they going for a “summery, refreshing twist” on FM’s Iris Poudre (which I also don’t like)? If so, this is even worse, because it’s been cheapened by the inferiority of lime’s bitterish skin. Lime is, IMO, for mojitos. For tasty, delicious, salty, oily Cuban food, on a hot chicken in the summer with some cafe con leche. You know what I mean? XerJoff, I love those priceless amethyst flacons, but honestly, i’d fill that beey*tch with some Serge Lutens creation and not this…….
Not for me! But classicly good, would be GREAT on a man (seriously, this is a man’s perfume. A man’s man’s man’s man, to let me quote some dum cartoon quote my ex always repeated)….. and NO this does not smell masculine, but the lime is just enough to say yes, you are a man, but femme enough to let it be known your feminine side is most prominent. I’m not sure any woman under 40 would really want to smell like this.
