Armani Prive Iris Celadon is a nice, classy unisex iris scent, a mix primarily laden with cardamom, musk, patchouli, and bergamot. Slightly spicy, fresh, and sweet, it leans mostly to the powdery iris without being overwhelmingly powdery.
It has an air of sophistication and, like Armani Prive New York, seasonal versatility. It doesn’t really strike me as a scent too weak for winter or too heavy for summer. Like New York, it leans slightly feminine but is quite unisex, and performance is good. Unlike New York, its pricing is very much in line with the rest of the line at $270 for 100ml.
Very good but a “like” not a “love” for me, overall. Still, a recommended try from this line, show the range of Prive.
7 out of 10

I always wondered how some people here detect a specific note in a perfume and either rave about it or despise it.
Now it’s clear to me.
I get the lovely, buttery iris, it’s perfect.
I love the patchouli-chocolate combination, with its powedery and yummy warm note.
But the one particular note that stands out to me is the mate.
And this note, that somehow makes this lovely perfume smell like a bug repellent at times, is totally redunant to me. IMHO, this perfume would have been a far better one without it.
I like it very much none the less, yet hopefully come wintertime the mate will be less noticable.

The finer things, an austere yet cool vision, of subtle elegance,soft cool projection of lite iris gently tied to a masculine choco patchouli base, outstanding.

Buttery iris with a full dose of patchouli and a dusty/bitter/dry tea note. It doesn’t really change throughout its life, only becomes closer to the skin. It’s smooth and soft, overall an interesting take on iris and unique in my view.
Scent: 7.5/10
Longevity: 7/10
Projection: 4/10

I blind bought Iris Celadon because I love iris.
Well, what can I say? I recommend this to anyone looking for a dusty chocolate laced patchouli.
What the ???
Lasts a whole 3 hours.

8:30 – opens dark and warm. A sweet, desserty iris and patchouli. The bergamot and aldehydes are there, but in the background.
9 – The best kind of powdery. I suspect this could turn “little old lady” fast, but man, I want to hang out with that grandma.
9:10 – Huh, it turned grampa instead. Almost immediately after I wrote the last bit, the patchouli and something else (the mate?) combined into a strong, classic, male scent. Well shoot.
Second day in a row that one of my Armani Prive samples went hardcore dude on me. Sexy dude, sure, but still not what I want to be smelling like.

Wow, as a perfume collector I didn’t have anything similar to this one! It is unique, very dark and mysterious such as women in noir movies. It is a perfect match to Alida Vally in movie The third man! I love it.

Aldehydic iris, precisely executed, elegant and refined. Smells amazing, discrete yet being there, impossible to be ignored.
More suitable for men imo.
I only wish there was more iris in this.

A little iris, a lot of tonka and patchouli. I expected more iris. Still nice and comfortable scent for winter but I wished for more leatheriness from the iris
Edit: as I wear on my wrist, I realize it’s very similar to one of my old perfumes: Reminiscence Patchouli Homme, which is much cheaper and is a little more labdanum oriented. But the 2 scents are very close

Hmmmm the most prominent to my nose is Patchouli. I wouldn’t even thought it’s named after Iris. I did get the chocolate but the Patch overwhelms everything. Great sillage and longevity. More masculine to me but can be unisex.

I tried this today in Selfridges and I wasn’t too keen. I got an initial blast of patchouli, shortly followed by iris and musk. On my skin it smells like a men’s deodorant: cool, fresh and clean, which is nice I suppose but I was expecting more.. The lid is gorgeous though!

This is what Glenn Close’s character in Fatal Attraction must have smelled like. It’s a powdery iris, of course, bolstered by musk, as so many have been before it. It’s warm and somewhat familiar, providing an initial attraction (or revulsion, as some are reminded of their granny’s perfume); but there is something more going on here, a darker side. The cardamom scent is fleeting and is reminiscent more of the pods themselves than the spice, though I get notes of that too. I think the real surprise is the anisic element sparkling in the top and tracing through to the heart. It’s definitely a strange, unmarried sister to Cuir Amethyste, which exalts orris in an opulent albeit straightforward way. I have yet to test or wear any of the Armani Prive collection that was daring or original, but this wasn’t bad. If you liked Cuir Amethyste and are feeling wild on a date night, try a tester of this. Careful, a little goes a long way.

Oh now this one is quite special — I think it’ll go on to do well and be highly regarded. It’s far from the bombastic fragrance that many scents containing patchouli can be, yet neither is it a wallflower, being gently assertive and persistent.
I doubt it’ll wow you if you’re looking for a fragrance that makes a statement, but nonetheless you may well find that others say how good you smell and want to know what you are wearing. Iris Céladon smells both cosy and sophisticated. It has a modern and airy simplicity, but conspires to smell anything but simplistic.
Bergamot and cardamom give a pleasant sharpness to the opening, and combined with the maté they create an effect not unlike vetiver. Soon the iris is predominant, approachable but not dumbed-down, buttery initially, then with a slightly soapy-powdery quality. It reminds me of the violet in Cuir Améthyste — different ionone, same effect. The chocolate note is barely perceptible, but adds a dry, dark, cocoa-dusty note to the iris. Then the fragrance dries down to a gentle cloud of patchouli-amber powder, soft as swansdown, subtle but long-lasting.
All in all, Iris Céladon smells quietly refined and expensive, in part because it is indeed elegant, but also in part I suspect because its aldehydes are done with a very light touch, enough to give a classical effect without being particularly noticeable in themselves.
Above all though, Iris Céladon just smells really, really gooooood. Armani Privé might well be onto a winner with this launch.

I’ve smelled this yesterday, at least to me I’ve never smelled something similar to this, very unique but not in a weird way. Very powdery but the iris note is not so predominant like other iris base fragrances, I believe it’s the mate and the patchouli maybe? I get a very airy, powdery feeling, it makes me feel good. Very romantic fragrance and smells very expensive also, I do believe this is perfect for women, it’s also nice for those men who can pull this of.

I don’t smell much chocolate, but the combination of patchouli & iris creates a plastic dough-like experience, very representative of the color in focus (neither blue, green nor grey). Quite interesting for an iris-named fragrance (less so if it was Patchouli Céladon).. Not bad 🙂

Buono!piu’femminile.
Se amate il dolce,il patchouli,il burro di cacao e indossereste coromandel,bois d’argent questo e da provare.
Apre ben mescolato,poi cardamomo e bergamotto svaniscono subito e si ferma tutto con un miscuglio ben amalgamato di compagno,patch,cacao e muschio pulito.
Educato,semplice,delicato e un po piatto ma pur sempre elegante.
Prezzo alto.
Durata breve vicino alla pelle.
A lungo su i vestiti.

I am not sure how masculine this is, even though it says ‘for women and men’ but once it is out at my local department store, I am going to want to sniff this. It has a lot of the notes I like in its composition.
