Iris Silver Mist is full of opposition. <br /><br />I swore anout five times when I got the top notes. Whoa! sniff, sniff...F**k!...Holy s**t!...dirt...plant roots! no way...sniff, sniff...<br /> <br /><br />I want to smell it from a distance...have never been so surprised by a fragrance. <br /><br />ISM is not an ingratiating perfume. <br /><br />Also got a sample of Tmmy Girl in the same delivery - ha, what a radical difference in sensibility.<br /><br />If perfume was analogous to painting - then ISM is an abstract and Tommy Girl is representational.G2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05715952254572131732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-19900130764954305562011-02-01T12:41:51.383-05:002011-02-01T12:41:51.383-05:00I ordered a sample from Posh Peasant (Rock On 4EVE...I ordered a sample from Posh Peasant (Rock On 4EVER to Abigail's *Exquisite* site & service!!) early last year and have had it quarantined ever since.

I WANT to like it. haZannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569945658750487984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-79808229888152754122011-02-01T09:13:30.608-05:002011-02-01T09:13:30.608-05:00ISM was one of the first samples I ordered, when I...ISM was one of the first samples I ordered, when I started blogging, and I predictably didn't like it. I remember comparing it to vodka and gin and dirt. I may have to try it again -- iris scents, imho, are for the initiated.Olfactahttp://olfactarama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
