1996 Inez & Vinoodh, from Byredo was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Juniper Berries, middle notes of Iris and Violet, and base notes of Amber, Leather, and Patchouli.
I was lucky to be presented to 1996 only a couple of months ago and it has forever changed my own fragrance podium. It combines two of my favorite notes in perfumery to perfection: the Iris and the leather, in such a spicy and earthy way. The kind of fragrance that makes my shoulders drop from the very first sniff. I am obsessed. This is so charming and comfortable, definitely long lasting on me, more than the average selection from Byredo. I would consider the sillage moderate. This fragrance is the sophisticated dimension of you, on a leather jacket, for sure.
This 1:1 reminds me of Lord of Misrule by Lush (which I really like for autumn but personally would not wear any other season than autumn). Very warm and spicy.
