A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of smelling some Iris Gris de Jaques Fath at the home of a friend with many samples and bottles of vintage fragrances. We had a lot to smell that evening, but I do remember how modern it seemed, but rich and full-bodied. I had asked if he had this scent because I knew I was going to be reviewing the new fragrance from Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, Scent of Hope, which is a loving recreation of Iris Gris.

30% of the sales of Scent of Hope will go to 'Sense of Security', a support center for those undergoing breast cancer treatment in the Denver area.
