Iris Fauve
Iris Fauve by Atelier des Ors is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, cinnamon and iris, moves into patchouli, haitian vetiver and cypriol and dries down to myrrh, labdanum and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Heart
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
