Editor's notes
An homage to one of the world's most precious essences, Le Labo's Iris 39 eau de parfum is a smooth and silky, strikingly fragrant floral scent.
Imbued with a creamy, woody nobility thanks to its primary ingredient, soft iris is complemented by wispy notes of patchouli and oakmoss, then struck with a sharp, oriental hit of lime, ginger and cardamom. Reinforced by a musky, sensual base, this warm and earthy fragrance is glamorous in character – spontaneous and unpredictable, yet eternally loyal.
About
Working from the urban depths of New York, Le Labo founders Eddie and Fabrice entered the fragrance industry with a vision to break the cycle of soulless scents with a disruptive collection of awe-inspiring, impactful perfumes. Today, each parfum is thoughtfully crafted with utmost passion and a distinct intention, to inject feeling and sentiment into each and every hand-blended bottle, from Santal 33, to Vetiver 46. The unprecedented success of the lab has fuelled its expansion to include botanical skincare, men’s grooming and alternative-form fragrance.

This is a really beautiful scent, quite dark and mysterious, like clean damp earth with a slightly warm, spicy overtone. It's floral without being overblown, lacking the cloying oversweetness of a musk-heavy scent, but instead with a sophisticated woodsy depth.
Sillage is low to moderate, it won't render innocent passers-by unconscious; this scent demands a more intimate acquaintance. That's not to say it's only appropriate for the bedroom - it's seductive, yes, but elegantly, alluring rather than brash.
Longevity is the opposite end of the spectrum - this scent will last. Expect easily 10-12 hours. Put it on in the evening, it can still be noticed it in the morning.
Iris is a relatively unusual fragrance note, and Iris 39 even more so. It's a complex, eloquent scent, and while it won't immediately bowl anyone over when entering a room, it's memorable after you leave.
The sole criticism I have with this purchase is that when it arrived this particular bottle seems to be lacking the depth of the base notes of previous bottles and I don't know why. It's lighter, spicier, without the mysterious deep cool notes, and while still beautiful, I definitely prefer my past experiences with this scent.
