    I live in the US and I have not yet smelled any fragrances by Mr Schweiger nor have I smelled the other Aedes fragrance. My favorite iris is currently #19, but I am always looking to try more. Thanks for all you do for the perfume community.

    HI,
    I live in the Us. I have never had a scent from Aedes (but have read so many good reviews). I am told Ch. No. 19 has iris but I do not know enough scents to have a favorite. I would love to be in the draw.

  9. Devon81 says:
    6 August 2013 at 10:44 am

    I live in the US. I haven’t yet tried any Aedes nor anything from Ralph Schweiger. I love iris, so this would be lovely! My fave would be uncle Serge’s Iris Silver Mist. Thanks for the draw. :)

  10. breathesgelatin says:
    6 August 2013 at 10:45 am

    I live in the US. My favorite Ralf Schwieger fragrance is either Lipstick Rose or Amber Nue… can’t decide! Favorite iris fragrance is Grossmith Shem-el-Nessim.

  11. relleric says:
    6 August 2013 at 10:49 am

    I live in the US. So far the only Aedes fragrance I have tried is the one from L’Artisan, it is a lovely incense. Iris Silver Mist would have to be my favorite Iris frag.
    As always, thanks so much for the opportunities! :)

  13. jirish says:
    6 August 2013 at 10:56 am

    I live in the US, and while I haven’t tried this, I’ve tried the first Aedes in the purple bottle, the one with rhubarb, and found it lovely.

  14. Janet says:
    6 August 2013 at 10:58 am

    I am not a big rose fan but I have big love for Lipstick Rose! It maybe top of the list for a full bottle.

  19. Dilana says:
    6 August 2013 at 11:09 am

    I live in the US. My favorite RS frangrance is Vanille Insensee. It smells like part of an orchid (which vanilla is) rather than a cream (which is how most perfumes use vanilla)

    I’ve been lucky enough to procure several favorite iris scents for a song–a new, 6.8 oz. full bottle of Chanel’s 28 La Pausa at a yard sale for $5; a partial bottle of Prada Infusion d’Iris for $2, also at a yard sale; a full 1.7 oz. bottle of vintage Chanel No. 19 EDC at a yard sale for $15; and the same in EDT from ebay for about $40. Of those, I’d say the La Pausa is my favorite. That said, I’d be very happy to win a bottle of Iris Nazarena! Thanks, Robin! I live in the U.S., and please feel free to use my email address.

    My favorite Aedes scent is their collaboration with L’Artisan – the incense one. My boss bought me a bottle last year for Xmas (he’s French) and it is my go-to Fall/Winter incense.

    (And let me just say, I love this blog. I read it every morning, and I think the reviews on this site are some of the best out there. Hello!)

    I live in the US. Sadly, I am so unfamiliar with Iris. I read a lovely review today by Blacknall Allen, I believe. I like the thought of the incense opening, and the sheerness of this scent. I have read many reviews and they are all quite intriguing. I do like Mr. Schwieger’s fragrance Fils de Dieu. I tried that the other day and I think I might get a decant. Thank you for this opportunity!

    I am in the U.S. and of all the Ralf Schweiger fragrances I’ve tried thus far, my favorite is Afternoon of a Faun. Thanks for the draw!

    I have no favorite iris scent but that doesn’t mean I’ll never find one.

    I live in the US and you may use my email address.

    1. I haven’t tried anything from Aedes yet.
    2. My favorite fragrance by Ralf Schwieger is Atelier Vanille Insensee, but Afternoon of a Faun and Eau de Merveilles are close behind.
    3. My favorite irises so far are Iris Silver Mist, No.19 and Bas de Soie.

  101. katsura says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:14 pm

    I live in the US. The only perfume I’ve tried that can be classified as “iris” is Prada Infusion d’Iris, which was nice, but didn’t wow me. I do plan on trying Hiris when I can.

  102. Fernando says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:23 pm

    I’m afraid I have never tried any Aedes fragrances, nor do I really know many of RS’s fragrances. But my favorite iris… well, on me, Iris Silver Mist. On my wife, clearly Chanel No. 19. I do live in the US.

  103. PekeFan says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:23 pm

    I’ve been searching for my perfect iris fragrance. Most of them are too carroty, which doesn’t appeal to me. Iris Ukiyoe is pleasant however. My favorite Ralf Schwieger composition is Malle Lipstick Rose. I also like ELdO Fils de Dieu.

    I live in the US.

  104. therabbitsflower says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:26 pm

    I live in the US, and you may use my email address. I haven’t smelled Iris Nazarena, so my favorite Aedes scent is their self-titled. I’m a huge fan of tomato leaf, and I love how it smells paired with rhubarb – very bright and sparkling.

  105. PeachesDoyle says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:27 pm

    I live in the U.S. and I love all things iris. My favorite would have to be Iris Silver Mist – so far! Thanks for the great draw.

  106. katiesue says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:43 pm

    I live in the US and you may use my e-mail address. My favorite iris perfume was #19, but it no longer smells like it used to, to me. Current favorite is Iris Poudre. I also like the old Ferre.

  107. mrsdarcy says:
    6 August 2013 at 7:48 pm

    I live in the US and my favorite iris perfume is VCA’s Bois d’Iris. I wore it on my wedding day! Chanel’s 28 La Pausa is a close second, but only because I don’t consider L’Heure Bleu to be an iris fragrance, even though it has iris notes, if that makes sense.

  108. Hylda says:
    6 August 2013 at 8:01 pm

    Fils de Dieu is the fragrance I longed for the most since X-Mas!
    It was my favorite perfume that I smelled on my sniff trip to New York.
    I went to Aedus on my last day of my trip, but someone had smashed the front window of the shop and they were busy fixing it. I wasted some time at a nearby coffee shop and returned later. Didn’t get to try the Aedus , but sniffed other things not available here in Chicago. Then I had to rush to get a Chinatown bus home:(
    My favorite iris is Prada’s. Iris Absolue and Iris Silver Mist:)
    I treasure my samples!:) yes, you can use my email.

    I live in the US. a) My favorite Aedes fragrance is the Aedes de Venustas Eau de Parfum from 2012 so far…. If you haven’t tried it, the soap is also VERY nice. b) My favorite Ralf Schweiger fragrance is ELd’O’s Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes, and c) my favorite iris is L’Artisan’s Iris Pallida.

  110. air_ocean says:

    6 August 2013 at 9:33 pm

    I live in the us pick meeeeeeeeee.

    I have so many favorite irises but 28 la pausa is at the top of my list at the moment. Ask me next week and it will be a different one. I dont think that I have met a bad iris.

    i live in the US. i only have experience with 1 schwieger fragrance, which i have previously owned and love, and that is Marc Jacobs for men.

  116. R_H_M says:
    6 August 2013 at 10:15 pm

    Yes, I do live in the US.
    As far as my favorite Aedes fragrance goes….well there are so many. There are two standouts Molinard Une Historie de Chypre & Serge Luten’s Jeux de Peau. I don’t believe they carry the Molinard anymore though.
    Likewise I have two favorite Ralf Schwieger scents Eau de Merveilles and Lipstick Rose.
    Iris scents are some of my hands down favorites: Hermes Hiris, L’Artisan Bois Farine, MPG’s Fleur de iris, Heeley Iris (the first one), FM’s Iris Poudre, Eau d’Italie Sienne l’Hiver (rooty iris & white truffles mmmmm).
    Thinking about all these wonderful fragrances makes me want to go play in my wardrobe.
    Thank you for the opportunity!

    I love iris fragrances and wear them often. La Pausa and Hiris are workday staples for me. I enjoy Prada Infusion d’Iris at night. Haven’t tried the Absolue. I bought a decant of VC&A Bois d’Iris, but haven’t been in the mood for it this summer. Will probably turn to it in the fall.

    Thanks for the draw!

  129. Scentiment says:

    7 August 2013 at 7:43 am

    I live in the US, but I’m afraid I don’t have an answer to parts a or b. However, my favorite iris fragrance is probably No. 19, but there’s also a soft spot in my heart for No. 18 and Jacomo’s Silences. Thank you for the draw!

    7 August 2013 at 12:30 pm

    I live in the US.

    Iris and I have a history, when my brother passed away i chose to wear iris based fragrances for year to remember him. You can run around in black all day so I chose a flower. Each season I order new irises for my garden for him. We grew up on a farm and I always will remember how much he loved to garden and the fun times we had there.

    I enjoy Cuir Ottoman but wore Chanel 19 85% of the time followed by Labo’s Iris. My fav is Luten’s Iris Silver Mist though.

    My favorite Ralf S. fragrance is Lipstick Rose which some say is similar to Lyric (which I wore to his funeral oddly enough).

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Miette

    There are others that are lovely, but theirs was my introduction to the scent and remains a go to fragrance, especially in the warm weather.
    Thank you for the chance to win. I do live in the USA and of course you may use my email.

  145. skalolazka says:
    7 August 2013 at 2:47 pm

    I live in the U.S.

    My new favorite iris is 28 La Pausa, even though I have to use what seems like a full ml to get any lasting power. I’m hemming and hawing about a FB purchase because of this drawback.

  146. Bill says:
    7 August 2013 at 3:42 pm

    Hi – I live in the US, and my favorite Aedes fragrance is the signature EdP, in all of its bright-crazy-green-rhubarb-and-vetiver deliciousness. :-)

  147. samberg says:
    7 August 2013 at 3:51 pm

    USA-er checking in, my favorite Aedes fragrance is the Aedes de Venustas Eau de Parfum in all it’s green rhubarb uniqueness. I never considered spending so much on a perfume before encountering that lovely.

    Ooh, I almost missed this one. I live in the US and my favorite Ralf Schwieget scent is easily Hermes Eau des Marveilles. I’ve worn it so much lately that friends are starting to identify it. I guess that means it is time for a new scent. :)

    Good Morning. You may use my email, I live in the US.

    I have tried and liked the iris in La Pausa by Channel. It does not have much staying power for me though. Would love to try this one, no one I know has it yet. I have seen several great review on various sites.
