They are interesting fumes, I do think they make nice ones. Thank you, those must be hard to get, I also heard that the Tuberose was really nice.

The Gaiac Wood, Vanilla, and Aldehydes fragrances are wonderful, I think. I haven't tried Neroli and jasmine for so long I can't comment!

Are there other Le Labos you like Angela? Thinking of ordering a few of the 5mls too from the company if there are other good ones to consider. Thought of Labdanum because my love of animalic notes, could be good in cold weather. I have no idea how good the jasmine and neroli are but might be worth considering. I would like some nice flowers for the spring.

I'm glad you found it! It's a wonderful springtime fragrance. I love the moss in Iris 39, and I love its ginger, too. I’m glad you found it! It’s a wonderful springtime fragrance.

I often have the problem with niche that they are too simplified and linear and do not last long, even TC I would prefer to be more criminal, however, contrary to some other opinions, I find Iris 39 to be slightly aggressive, very deep and leaning towards heady, having contrast with the animalic notes I love and adding other florals I also really love, can definitely detect the violet as others have stated too but still Iris dominant, very clean but captivating and mesmerizing, lasts and lasts too, great sillage. I want to try wearing this one day but probably not in minus 10 degree weather and then I think will pull the trigger on ordering this. I love florals but faceted florals and I find that I tend to wear florals in the spring and summer.

And you obviously know quite a lot about perfume and iris. Your comment makes me want to put a little of each of these iris scents on right now. I'll never be able to spritz on Iris 39 now without thinking of your wonderful "cocooning and addictive" description. So beautifully expressed!

Iris with its methylionone components has many facets. In the hand of capable perfumers it apparently helps to create an attractive, sometimes voluptous body which can be dressed in many ways. On an axis from dry to sweet, I am familiar with these well-made “dresses”: the chilly Iris Gris (Fath, Osmotheque), the unadulterated rooty and mysterious Iris Siver Mist (Lutens), the young, fresh and herby, yet lovely (Bretagne!) Homme de Coeur (Divine), more in the middle the elegant lady-like Hiris (Hermes), the already warm and soft, flowery and well-rounded Bois d'Iris (TDC) (too bad, iris flowers do not have this smell!) and more on the other end, the stately, lush and opulent shimmering beauty Iris Poudre (Malle) and finally, the cocooning and addictive Iris 39 (Le Labo). They all share that attractive Iris core. Who wouldn’t like to step right in? I must admit I like them all and do not encounter any "dirty" nuances. Couldn't agree more!

I get lots of ginger and cardamom. Skin chemistry really is a wildcard. I'm glad this iris works for you, though. I still need to spend more time digging around in the Le Labo lineup. No ginger!

Disclaimer: Most iris notes bother me (Dior Homme is too makeup bag; Hiris is too powdery) but Iris 39 I could love. Very nice and I got a compliment on it the first ferw minutes when I arrived in the office. Always nice, isn't it? Yes, had never paid attention to Voekl until this scent (and well, I'm interested in smelling Covet) because frankly I hate Kenneth Cole scents and he's done a few of them I see... I get just a little lime (not lime-y buy any means) and absolutely NO ginger. But I can see how this has more patchouli than P24 does. I get that! My LL faves are def Rose 31 and Neroli 36...I might be adding Iris 39 to the list! I decided to break into my sample of this, because of this article.

Too bad perfume doesn't have listings for the aldehydes that you mention--it sure would make sampling easier for you. Good point.
