The Love At First Scent ball got rolling again over on YouTube the other day with an hour-long video on the Top 10 (+1) best iris perfumes, as selected by yours truly.

Here’s a link to the video: Top 10 best iris perfumes.

The complete list of perfumes covered in the episode:

Jacques Fath Iris De Fath 4:45
Chanel No. 19 8:20
