Iris
L'Erbolario

Very similar to Teint de Neige by Villoresi but sweeter and lacking that balanced, dry-powdery, barely sweet temperament of the Villoresi's one with its dreadful sophistication of rose and heliotrope. In this from l'Erbolario the floral note is less royal,  more creamy-sugary and the wake is not as changing and indented as in the other one. The note of tobacco is blended in order to tame the sweetness and to impress a more shadowy and smoky touch to the powder but hardly manages to do that because overcome by the sweetness of sugar and vanilla. The note of musk is too faint in front of the sugary vanilla. Longevity and sillage are in the average.
