Iris Vainilla by Adolfo Dominguez

It’s become one of my new favorite fragrances. I tried it in-store a few weeks ago and liked it, but didn’t buy it until yesterday. No regrets: it lasts long, projects well, and is worth it. It’s my first perfume from the brand. It smells sweet, powdery, and vanilla-forward; what I notice most is iris, vanilla, raspberry, blackcurrant, musk, and freesia. I don’t detect any jasmine at all.

A very refined, delicate, and super feminine perfume. You can smell the vanilla without it being gourmand or cloying, with a lot of iris. There’s a hint of fruit, but minimal. It smells like compact makeup powder with vanilla. It doesn’t project much; it’s more for yourself. I didn’t like it because I’m not into powdery scents and the iris feels extremely dry to me. I recognize it’s very well made; if you like powdery perfumes with iris and vanilla, you’ll love it.

I love it! It reminds me of the Montblanc Signature, but much more powdery. For me, Iris Vanilla is the richest in the collection; you like sweets but not cloying ones. Nude Musk is also a must-have for being a classic clean scent. The sillage is very personal; it doesn’t trail, but everything is fine with that.

It’s sweet from the vanilla but not cloying or gourmand; fine, delicate, clean, and slightly powdery from the iris and musk. I find it charming and irresistible. Someone offered to buy me whatever perfume I wanted; I had to choose between this and L’Interdit Rouge. Knowing the giver liked strong perfumes, I gave in and took the L’Interdit, 100 euros for the 125 ml bottle. Despite being a gift, it hurt my soul. At home, with the card for this Iris Vanilla, I couldn’t resist and bought it online because it stole my heart. Even though the other smells good and is from a big house, the body wants what it wants, and the rest doesn’t matter.

When I tried this perfume, I expected something more vanilla-forward and sweet. I detected a weird powdery smell, and at times it seemed like makeup powder. I didn’t like it.

I love it. It makes me feel super sexy and elegant. Its simplicity is unique: the classic ‘less is more’ concentrated in a perfume. You don’t need much to have something rounded, with character, natural, and that ‘here I am’ touch. For me, it’s a compliment magnet. Iris plus vanilla equals perfection.

Perfect sweet and powdery perfume for cold, cloudy, and night days. It opens with raspberry and blackcurrant; as it dries down, it feels like a soft bed of iris and jasmine. I also sense a deep, slightly smoky vanilla. Then it turns powdery, dominated by raspberry with iris and that deep, smoky, powdery vanilla. On me it lasts about 7-8 hours and on clothes until I wash them.

I think the most beautiful thing about this fragrance is its simplicity. Its name describes it perfectly: Iris, Vanilla, and nothing else. The musk gives it that powdery dry-down; that vanilla smells different, and I love that. I don’t have anything like this in my collection. I wish it lasted longer, but considering the price, I feel it’s good.

Don’t you dare gift this perfume to a young girl; it smells horrible, and if they say it’s for summer, they’re lying.

To me, it’s a scent for a good girl. A fruity combination of iris with vanilla, quite simple and maybe a bit generic, but very rich. Initially, it’s a sweet fruity bomb on my skin, mostly raspberry, which then gradually turns powdery until it settles into its heart, very floral, before becoming slightly woody and amber in the dry-down. In short, a delicate, pretty scent that warms you up. As for performance, it’s not bad considering the price: about 5-6 hours on my skin with moderate projection and trail. The bottles in this line seem sober but very beautiful and elegant, with the right colors. I want to have them all in my vanity. Feminine, versatile, ideal for daily wear. I find it very wearable, perfect for gifting to a woman of any age, with a very good quality/price ratio.

A romantic iris softened by a whisper of vanilla. It didn’t last long on my skin; after two hours, only faint iris or vanilla remained, with soft violet notes peeking through. Could be perfect for those seeking something discreet.

Nothing to highlight. It’s very soft, light, and sweet, but not potent. It’s not overwhelming and wearable, but it doesn’t speak to me. I’m not usually drawn to vanilla scents, so I wouldn’t buy it.

How delicate! ❤ It’s pure, super powdery vanilla with a tender, youthful, and exquisitely delicate vanilla base. I can picture the wearer in a loose pastel dress, surrounded by flowers and a tray of sweets at a picnic. Very romantic. The only thing missing is projection and longevity, haha. But the scent itself is super cute and ideal for everyday wear in any season. It’s love ♡

Extremely powdery with exquisite vanilla, and as others noted, a creamy hint. Delicate and subtle. If you love powdery vanilla, it’s a lovely option. Lasted 3 to 4 hours on my skin.

The name doesn’t lie: IRIS + VAINILLA, but that vanilla is delicate, subtle, nothing synthetic or childish. That said, it’s not a bad thing—it’s just that: nothing more surprising, no evolution, nothing novel. It’s a pleasant everyday perfume that doesn’t draw excessive attention, subtle and delicate.
