Panthea Iris, from Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 was released in 2019. The perfumer behind this creation is Stéphane Humbert Lucas. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Iris, and Tangerine, middle notes of Iris, Jasmine, and Violet, and base notes of Musk, Sandalwood, Tobacco, and Tonka Bean.
This has been the most challenging perfume for me of what I have. I sprayed it a lot outside and I hoped that something would happen. I put in on sale after trying it few times but fortunately I set the price so high that no one bought it. 😂 After many months I took it from the box and sprayed it on my clothes (tried earlier as well) and I was totally surprised! It started to bloom and shine in the way how people who love it describe it. 💙 Panthea Iris is astonishing beautiful no doubt. It’s powdery, subtle, a little bit soapy Iris. It’s elegant, refined and a little bit paltry but in the same time it feels luxurious. It’s not buttery or creamy Iris, it’s clear, airy and dry and there is something melancholic in it. The scent is not complex and it doesn’t change so much from the opening until the dry down but it’s not bad at all in this case. It performs in the best way on clothes and I picked up one of my favorite evening dresses which I made maybe 20 years ago for celebrating Finnish Independence Day (the holes for my arms has modified bigger since that 💪🏽 😅 ) and I still wear it every Independence Day. Panthea Iris matches perfectly with that long Sapphire blue velvety dress. 🇫🇮 Top: Pink Berries - Italian Bergamot and Tangerine - White Tea Heart: Iris Absolute - Jasmine - Violet Base: White Musk - Tonka bean - Sandalwood - Patchouli - Iris butter Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
Comparing FREDERIC MALLE: Iris Poudre Pierre Bourdon (2000) and STÉPHANE HUMBERT LUCAS: Panthea Iris (2019) (Review made earlier) These two clear, sophisticated and soapy scents are in the same category. Both has a clean white musky base and they are very subtle, elegant and refined. They are airy and dry. They are powdery but it’s rather sharp and cold powder than soft and warm compared to those “baby vibe” powdery scents. Iris Poudre is even colder and drier than Panthea Iris. There is a lot of aldehydes in IP and it creates a frosty, super fresh and bright nuances. In Panthea Iris there are pink berries in the top notes which gives a hint of the sweetness to the scent and Orris butter in the base softens the whole concoction a little bit. Do I need the both? Yes. But I don’t know if it’s necessary- try them and decide. 💙 Iris Poudre: Top: Rose - Violet - Ylang-Tlang Heart: Iris (Aldehydes) Base: Sandalwood - Musk - Tonka bean Panthea Iris: Top: Pink Berries - Italian Bergamot and Tangerine - White Tea Heart: Iris Absolute - Jasmine - Violet Base: White Musk - Tonka bean - Sandalwood - Patchouli - Iris butter Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
