Iris Shot
Iris Shot by Olfactive Studio is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, iris, pink pepper and blackcurrant, moves into iris, almond and carrot seed and dries down to haitian vetiver, ambroxan and cedarwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
Dry-down
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
