Coloured Extract For Women - 0349

I haven't smelled the original. So I can't compare it with PP's. All I can write is that I've been wearing this wonderful spring/summer scent for the past few days. It's a gentle, soft, powdery, unique scent. Does it smell of iris? Iris blossoms don't give off a floral scent. It's the roots of the bearded iris that produce an essential oil that is described as giving off a pleasant, woody, powdery, slightly sweet, floral, violet scent. There can also be a hint of spice, of earthiness, green leaves, grass or hay. The essential oil is so expensive due to the 6 year long process to prepare the roots and finally extract the oil, that many iris perfumes are made nowadays with synthetic oil. Another name for iris is orris. So you'll often see orris root as a note in floral perfumes. But calling a scent an iris perfume sounds much better than calling it an orris root perfume. The oil version that I bought is a well blended scent that begins with a burst of fresh orange that fades very quickly, then develops into the main orris root scent. My nose doesn't sense the incense or cedar that are supposed to be in the base notes. But it's such a lovely scent that I'm not complaining. However, I wish it had a little more projection and longevity. I've read that the original also had this problem. PP's spray extract version may be better for anyone wanting more projection and longevity.

I used to wear the original version of this several years ago and I wasn't sure how this would compare so I ordered a sample of this in my first order. It's extremely close to the original and for the price point, I'm really impressed so I ordered a 30ml size this time around! I love that all the perfumes come in multiple sizes and small samples - it's such a great way to try out fragrances before committing to full sizes. Great company, quick delivery and I'll be ordering again for sure!

I haven't smelled the original, I blind bought this (3ml oil) based on the many, many online rave reviews of the original & of PP's version.

And I'm so glad I did!

WOW! This is absolutely delightful! Love at first sniff! It truly is a very beautiful perfume.

I have my fan on & keep getting wafts of it & can't believe that it's me that smells so lovely!! :D

I will definitely be buying a bigger bottle! Thank you PP (⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract
Great fragrance for feeling clean, fresh and put together. That's makes it sound a bit boring but it's not... I just find it good for any occasion. I'm a fan.

I had the original as a gift. Smells the same. Beautiful
