Another masterpiece from Yves Saint Laurent’s La Vestiaire des Parfums line.
A truly comforting scent that adds a touch of refined presence, but still sparkles in the night to make you stand out of the crowd. Yet Trench has the discreet aura not to make its appearance known to those around you straight away. Simple elegance.

I am surprised that citruses are supposed to be important notes in Trench. I smell mostly florals. A lot of Iris indeed, which makes it feel very powdery.
The shop assistant insisted again on how much all the perfumes from Le Vestiaire des Parfums are supposed to be unisex. I actually tried four today : this one, Tuxedo, Cuir and Velours. Tuxedo ( my favourite!!!) and Cuir were IMO unisex. Velours was unisex in the same way many Serge Lutens fragrances like Chergui are supposed to be. But already too sweet although some men can get away with it.
Trench, on the other hand, while still pleasant, seemed the least exciting of the lot. But most of all I would say it definitely leans on the very feminine side. So don’t blind buy if you’re a man and you want something obviously masculine.

Damn, this is quite good – clean, yet slightly citrusy, slightly powdery, slightly sweet. This remind of of Figueir Eden from the Armani Prive line.
Longevity on this is excellent – this will stay solidly on the skin for 10 plus hours & projects a bit for about 2 hours then sits closer to the skin.
The quality in this is very high – niche level though somewhat simple.
I must say, this line is impressive. For winter, u need to try Velours & everyone seems to love Tuxedo.
This one – 9/10

If you’re looking for specifically bergamot & iris, I strongly recommend Zegna’s Florentine Iris–it’s a little more masculine but truly highlights these two notes; on the contrary, Trench is more about juicy tangerine (fruitier) and the iris is less pronounced (more general powderiness).

This is a very nice scent. It’s soft, fresh, clean and powdery, with a fig touch that makes this more creamy.
Also this has some similarities with Guerlain promenade des anglais.

Just tried this and I am in love,i get citrus,but soft and Iris,not overpowering,and the cedarwood is peeking on here and there ,lovely,my next purchase.

This frag really well matches with the image of wearing beige trench coat just like its name “Trench”. It has luxuriously elegant, soft, and clean smell. But I think this one is more likely to be worn by women not men, due to its some powdery accord in it.

Perfect ! I was dreaming for a Bergamot (citrus) and Iris frag for so long ! Now I have exactly what I was looking for. I tried this for days and it’s just (again) perfect.

“A citrus scent featuring dry cedarwood and white musk to create a solid and comforting base. Hints of bergamot and tangerine sparkle on top like drops of rain. Elegant iris belts the fragrance with its structured and refined silhouette, affirming a strong yet understated presence.”
Turned out to be a nice fresh fruity scent with a soft powdery base; it’s very elegant (and yes, VERY understated) but a little too commercial for me.. If it was marketed (and priced) as such, it would’ve been a big hit.
*If you want something more “niche” and justifies the price, try Fleur de Louis by Arquiste–also a fresh iris with orange blossom dominating.
