Comments on: The Different Company Bois d’Iris http://scentzilla.com/2006/01/02/the-different-company-bois-diris/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

That quality of Bois d'Iris makes me think of digging holes in the yard and planting bulbs in the spring.

Woody and yummy and earthy smelling. I don't reach for it often enough during the winter, the spring is a much better time to wear it! I love Bois D’Iris! Woody and yummy and earthy smelling.

I wonder if that doesn't play into a larger philosophy of keep-it-simple, too, for that house. Hm, possibly.

Perhaps the house is going for universal wearability? K, I have only sampled the Bergamot from this line, and I noticed it can also be worn anytime, anyplace, with any style of clothing.

You know, I don't know that this is the one to make you fall in love with that note. Not that I feel like I know which fragrance that would be anyhow, though, so what do I know? March, it's actually not really one that I like for myself either. But I admire it. Just not "me" is all. I think it's always such a nice thing when folks pass scents along to people they feel will appreciate them more, and I have a hunch Patty will find it interesting for sure.

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 20:26:17 +0000 http://scentzilla.com/?p=84#comment-388 Marina - easily worn no matter the dress, yup. The other day was jeans and layered tees, and it fit right in. Robin - Cascade hops' aroma changes after the brew is made, and tends to lend an implication of citrus amongst other things. I'm not sure how many beers outside of the Pacific NW are made with them, but one really popular one here that I believe is available nationally is Widmer's Hefeweitzen. Or Rogue Brewery makes a number of different ales with them. The Amber is a fave at our house, as well as their Imperial IPA. They also make a chocolate stout with them. (And I adore their Hazelnut brown ale, but I particularly like it fresh from the tap. No Cascade hops though. It's just an exceptionally good beer I thought I'd mention since I'm at it.) Andy, well, perhaps predictably, I do both. Love my Birkies - I'm not an expert or anything, but I'm pretty sure that inner happiness has something to do with wearing orthopedically sensible shoes. Heh. Most days I'm either in Doc Marten boots or Birkenstocks. Not very fashionable, but always comfortable. Maybe not transparent and shining like a diamond - more at the way the sunlight hits the ocean water that rolls over a beach at sunset. When people walk along the very edge of where sand meets surf, the reflected light across the stretched water makes it appear as if they are walking across a shimmering plane of water.

Thank you for your review and for "transparancy as quality": This reminds me in Roudnitska's brilliance criterion for a good perfume. Maybe the one here is transparent and shining brilliantly like a diamond? If I was in Oregon, I would definetively go for the beer making, no birkenstocks for sure….
