XJ Irisss
Eau de Parfum
by Xerjoff



The Scoop
Xerjoff’s XJ 17/17 range has been created by the artisan expertise of the master perfumers in Grasse and is an olfactory journey and discovery of the worlds most precious essences. The XJ 17/17 collection is a unique integration of nature’s visual achievements and its ever unique redolence... “The earth laughs in flowers.”

Irisss belongs to the poudrée magic world of perfumes, created with one of the most exclusive extractions of Iris’ called “butter of Iris, ” a technique that is rarely seen in the perfume world today. Carrot seeds, Absolute of Rose and Ylang-Ylang are the ingredients in which this elegant fragrance dances along with rare woods, resins, incense and musks making up the luxurious base notes. Irisss is an expansive and demanding eau de parfum to be worn with confidence by one who is refined and distinguished in life.

This is achingly beautiful! It begins cool with that charming carrot seed scent, then warms and blooms on the skin. Dewy Irises at night, and the scent of earth and soil. I find this very similar to Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist (which I also love) but Irisss feels a bit softer, a touch sweeter and with a few more head-spinning layers- I don't think I could live without this one!

Please disregard my "SIDE NOTE" below. It is a carryover from another review that I submitted to another website for this perfume.

As an iris perfume connoisseur (as much as a non-perfumist can be), I have sampled/enjoyed (and look forward to continuing to sample/enjoy) numerous iris perfumes. So far, the two standouts for me have been Le Labo’s Iris 39 (“39”) and Serge Lutens’ Iris Silver Mist (“ISM”). (See my reviews for both on MUA.) At least for now, ISM has an edge on 39 for me. That means that before sampling Xerjoff’s Irisss (“Irisss”), ISM was my favorite iris perfume (or any kind of perfume, for that matter). Now that I have sampled Irisss, ISM is STILL MY FAVORITE! Although I like Irisss and find it strikingly similar to ISM, there are a few differences that for me are detractors. Namely, Irisss is more floral, powdery, and “perfumy” than ISM. In other words, whereas ISM is more traditionally masculine, Irisss is more traditionally feminine. Please understand that I generally dislike gender designations for fragrances, but I am using them here only to convey a point effectively, which is difficult to do in writing about perfume. BOTTOM LINE: If you like iris perfumes even a bit, particularly those that are more floral, powdery, perfumy, and feminine, then I recommend that you sample Irisss. SIDE NOTE: Per xerjoff.com (and basenotes.com, luckyscent.com, fragrantica.com, and several others), Xerjoff is not a British perfumery, as implied in the below review; it is an Italian company. Further, (and again per the foregoing websites) Xerjoff's Irisss, in particular, does not contain lime, again as implied below.

This is indeed gorgeous but the price is absolutely obscene -- so much so, that I find it insulting. I mean, it is a beautiful perfume and all, but what's in it that justifies such an exhorbitant price? Fairy dust? The recipe for world peace? Demerits for the fee.

An unbelievably gorgeous Iris fragrance that conjures fields of Tuscan irises baking in the heat of the late summer sun. I adore Serge's beloved masterpiece Iris Silver Mist, but I have to say, though this is definitely a "splurge", it is worth every scent. Serge's lasts a decent 3 hours or so but this one I can smell in the morning the next day. Xerjoff's also "feels" a bit smoother and I believe contains more true orris butter. Iris lovers, do what you have to do to get some of this, you won't be disappointed.
