Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Bois d'Iris is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of The Different Company is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette sets the depth and body this composition needs.

The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Powdery add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms Middle suggests confident staying power. In diffusion Middle shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.

From the first breath you meet invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot and Geranium.

In the middle phase you detect Iris and Narcissus carrying a harmonious floral direction.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Floral, Musk and Wood. The palette also extends to Whiteflower.

In summary Bois d'Iris sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.

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.

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.

Iris Forest - the name is truly accurate! The first thing that comes to mind is some strange and strict scent that seems very masculine. It's self-sufficient and doesn't try to please anyone, which, by the way, is very refreshing. For me, I clearly feel notes of vetiver, damp cedar, dusty iris, a little bergamot, and leather - the kind of leather that's clearly for men's accessories, but not rough.

However, over time, this dark forest begins to lighten, becoming more airy and light. Longevity on the skin is about 5 hours, and on clothes, it lasts significantly longer, which is simply wonderful! The sillage is small, but still pleasant.

And can a woman wear this perfume? Of course, a woman can do anything! I wanted to keep 10 ml (or 20?) for myself, and give the bottle to my husband - it smells better on him. Overall, the fragrance is very worthy and exquisite, but it's worth testing, as it won't suit everyone ))

Iris, of course, is not bad, but the notes that could add interest are completely absent. No carrot, no coldness - just emptiness. No pleasure from this fragrance, only disappointment 😒

Bergamot and floral notes create an amazing combination. This fragrance gives coolness, yet it is incredibly delicate and subtle. Powdery and musky accents make it fresh and light, simply delightful! 🌸

Iris is simply a discovery! Gentle and light, it envelops you like a magical cloud of coolness. Hooray, there's no carrot smell, and geranium here only adds classicism and a little coziness. The fragrance is really excellent! It's suitable for both celebrations and everyday life. It will also be appropriate in the office, because you can feel it, but it's not too intrusive for others. Simply super
