Iris and Orris scents

Recommended Posts

I have both Skyborn and We Wear The Mask on the way, they seem promising for me, with lavender featured in both. I do love those airy florals, but the Lunacies tend to have so many notes they are intimidating. I really need to jump on some decants when I see them available.

Not trying to pimp my wares 😜 but I have a couple decants of Blue Moon 2020 on my swaps/sales page.  Blue Moon releases often seem to have a silvery feel, as do the two Cancer fragrances, though I think they have violet. 

 

You might check out the Cracked Mirrors weenie. More orris than iris, but it has a silvery feel and is really pretty

 

If you've only had bad experiences with violet once or twice, you might not give up on it completely, especially if it's mixed with a lot of other notes. Some violet goes more powdery on me then others. Violet leaf usually doesn't. And I find orris tends to go powdery too (vs. strait up iris) so sometimes, that might be our culprit.

Haha, pimp away! I will take a look, I love swappin. I need to branch out, and the Blue Moons look promising and enchanting. Oh, and I have been wanting to try violet leaf as well, I do love the scent of violet, but my skin just reads it as: violet: must powder and amp to high hell. I don’t mind powdery scents as a whole, but they need to be tempered with something.

 

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions VetchV!
