That isn't a happy thought. Gave the BeR only a very quick sniff at Nordstrom, and can't remember anything about it. Will have to get a sample! I like coffee in some scents (Kyoto!)

On the other ... is iris the new lychee? Or mango? Hey, I'm not complaining, let's enjoy it while we can. Actually, coffee is the new lychee. The problem I'm having with coffee (have you smelled Belle Rykiel?) is it tends to dominate all the other notes. I feel like if you have one coffee fragrance you're done, you know?

So my expectations are set high on this one as well, especially since it mentions so many other delectable notes.

Hope it doesn't take forever to appear stateside, but there are enough other scents to keep busy with in the meantime. :) Since I am very fond of both Voile d'Ambre and Rose Absolu, I am looking forward to Iris Noir!

What a shame, it is in sooo many things (and can't bear to think of Ta'if or VT as sour). Ah well, I suppose there are other fish to fry, right? You have a great Labor Day too!

I have had more heartbreaking moments with the dreaded TB note than any other. I think I'm the only one in the world to have turned PdN's Vanille Tonka into an atomic, sour mess. And then there was Ta'if...That one still hurts...gorgeous rose until the drydown, then that same horrific sourness...Oh well. Happy Labor Day, y'all!
