Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Iris Empire begins with top notes: cinnamon and davana create a spicy and slightly fruity start that quickly attracts attention and sets a dynamic tone for the composition.

In the heart of the fragrance, iris and violet unfold, adding floral tenderness, powdery elegance, and a soft texture, characteristic of iris accords, which smoothly transition into the base.

The base notes, including benzoin, chocolate, frankincense, leather accord, and patchouli, create a warm, balsamic, and slightly sweet foundation.

Leathery and woody notes add depth and longevity, completing the composition with a captivating and long-lasting trail that leaves a trace of luxury and mystery.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Haven't tested the new release yet, but this brand really has a good line. I have a few fragrances from their collection, and I like them. I'll definitely try the new one when I get a chance

Well, at least they didn't add vanilla here, that's already a plus! 😄 But I have doubts: violet and iris together create too much of a powdery effect, and I prefer it when the focus is on one thing 🤔 The powder here is definitely overkill, in my opinion. And then there's frankincense and leather in the base, which also raises questions. All in all, it's still unclear what to expect from this fragrance, we'll have to wait and see! 😊

Oh, how wrong I was about "cheaper"! I looked at Carolina Herrera's fragrances, and they are not budget-friendly at all. Honestly, you can easily put them on the same shelf as niche perfumes
5/5

This new release has me intrigued. I wonder how iris and chocolate will combine. The cinnamon opening with wormwood sounds quite unusual. I adore cinnamon in perfumery, especially in Eisenberg Ambre D'Orient. If Carolina Herrera can do it just as well, and at a lower price, I'll definitely buy it. Although there's no amber in the base, leather and frankincense could add an interesting accent. All in all, WE'RE WAITING
5/5

The fragrance certainly has its beauty, but calling it an iris is, to say the least, not entirely accurate. Iris might be present, but its gourmand notes make the scent entirely different. I didn't expect it to sound so harmonious on a man, given its sweetness, but this fragrance is truly attractive to men!!!
5/5

I'm really looking forward to this, this dark iris has truly intrigued me. The combination of notes, especially chocolate with iris, sparks curiosity. I hope it turns out deep, but without being too harsh ))))
