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. As ever, the live chat was full of amusing and insightful comments, not least when we all went off on a tangent about a certain brand that’s bought an ocean in order to ensure it has its own supply of ambergris. 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
Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist 14:45
Frederic Malle Iris Poudre 20:30
Guerlain Apres L’Ondee 25:30
Dior Homme 2005 28:40
