A rather soft and nice second skin kind of scent
Even with for a skin scent this has could have performed better. I get poor projection and a little sillage for 4 hours.
I find that skin scents try to be more unisex by calling the musk, but the only way you can make up for it is with certain high quality sandalwoods or patchouli’s,
I wanted to love this, but Friode by serge lutens is more playful and noticeable and Musk nobilis is more elegant and performs much better, so this is pass for me.
Tom of Finland is going to be the best mass appealing skin kind of scent to men I’d wager.
For women, Byredo gypsy water is soft and lovely

I quite like this, particularly for the juniper-iris opening. Unfortunately the Iso E Super is overwhelming towards dry down and spoils it for me. I thought the longevity/sillage were fine for what this scent is likely to be for – it’s office friendly and best for a relaxed setting.
If you are looking for a cool, velvety iris and don’t mind a heavy dose of Iso E Super, Iridium is a good choice. For alternatives I would try Carner D600 or Aedes de Venustas’ Iris Nazarena.

Iridium is musky and very soft – mostly Iso E super and powdery iris are noticeable on my skin. Similar to Escentric Molecules Escentric 01 but much weaker and lighter. Hardly noticeable on the skin after an hour.

Iridium is a real word. Iridium is a chemical element with symbol Ir and atomic number 77 and belongs to the platinum family.

I confess: I don’t know whether or not “iridium” is a real word or a made-up word. But when I hear it in my mind, it sounds very sterile, making me think of the white padded walls of a mental hospital. The scent smells equally sterile. It smells like pure white crystals, if they had a scent. I love the angelica note. It’s green, but here it provides just the right edge to amp up the whiteness.
On my skin it’s musky with an herbal edge. For a moment the sharp angelica smells a bit like the sour flesh of a lemon, but a nose that knows can tell it is not actually citrus in the perfume. I also smell the strong Iso E Super, a note I cant stand if it is obvious enough for my nose to detect, but here I like it! Now here is a perfumer who doesnt just use it as a base but knows it well enough to really use it as a note, as the vetyver and angelica really compliment the Iso. Without the zesty green we would just have another boring and synthetic Iso perfume.
This is an incredibly strange and unexpected perfume, but I really, really like it! It is crisp and clean…to the extreme. It could be full bottle worthy.

I actually enjoy the opening to this, having an earthy and organic quality due to the Angelica and carrot seed (I do not get a lot of juniper). Cedar and Iso E Super, although being intended base notes, project out in the opening (likely contributing to the velvety texture to the scent). Again like with other Tom Daxon fragrances this one evolves very quickly, drying down to a subtle iris accord. This iris is less floral, having more of a powdery and “lip stick” quality. After 15-20 minutes it nearly vanishes from existence, as though an apparition. Unfortunate, as I believe this one had great potential. (35)

Yuck. Light and soapy. Much more feminine than unisex. Too sweet for my taste.

The topnotes of this scent to my nose smell like a bunch of weeds someone ripped up from the roadside. That weedy funky smell fades in 30 minutes, though, and then almost nothing is left. Some folks say they smell iris but I am an iris fanatic and if there’s any iris in there it is the faintest iris ever made. The whole scent fades into total nothingness in an hour. Don’t waste your money on this one.
