The company say:
La Pausa: the house built for Gabrielle Chanel on land bought in 1928 above the village of Roque brune. It is elegant, with its colonnades of cloisters, and cheerful, with its green shutters. The distant Italian coast can be seen on the horizon.To evoke its luxury and simplicity, Jacques Polge unraveled all the facets and contrasts of the Iris flower, for a scent that is both earthy and powdery, radiant and secret.

Latest Reviews of La Pausa Eau de Parfum
This is for the EdP. When I came across La Pausa on basenotes it immediately was placed in the NO category as I fancied myself as not fond of iris. Yesterday I stopped by the Dallas Chanel boutique and the SA recommended I give it a chance. Why not? On paper it was nice enough and there was something there that piqued my interest. Time to try it on the skin. Wow!!! To me this opened with violet leaves and as it dried down the most amazing suede note appeared with just a hint of something floral. Very subtle, very well done, and just the leather I have been looking for!!!
