Here's the blotter update:

- As all the scents in today's episode share the same note, it's interesting to try to place them on an 'iris spectrum'. At one end of the scale, somewhat surprisingly, is Hiris, which even in the later stages of its drydown projects the chilled, rooty starchiness that makes it so distinctive. Next along the scale is Iris Nazarena: harder and edgier, but with enough delicacy to suggest the vulnerability of the flower. I had thought that Iris Silver Mist would remain the most 'iris like', but at least in today's smell-session, it's become rather subdued, as though so filled with grief, that all it can do is whisper. Still beautiful, though. Then comes Chanel No. 19, perfectly poised between galbanum, iris and vetiver: austere and assertive. I'd place Iris Poudre next on the spectrum: certainly, its iris personality remains intact in the drydown, but the musks become prominent as well. Iris Perle is a curious one, and this is meant as a compliment. Not unlike Poudre, it relies on musks to convey its sense of sophistication, but it also retains an innocence, a naivete, which makes it quite unique in this set. Apres L'Ondee starts nodding more and more towards other notes as it develops, mainly violet, carnation and anise. But that haunting iris sweep is still in there. And finally, we have the three that perhaps veer away from iris most markedly. Dior Homme rests on that mouth-watering bed of musks and sugar-baked fruit. Iris Celadon presents a combo of spices and woods, with iris hovering in the background. And Ashoka meditates on a vision of greens shimmering over sandalwood.
