The house of Adolfo Dominguez gifted the world with Iris Vainilla in 2022. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the amber, wood, fruit, and floral families. The fragrance concentration is eau de parfum.
Made in Spain, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Iris Vainilla evolves as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Adolfo Dominguez comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Fruit, Balsamic, Citrus and Wood. The framework further includes Floral, Whiteflower, Ambery and Musk. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Amber, Floral, Fruit and Wood.
As soon as the fragrance opens you meet vibrant berry opening notes: Blackcurrant, Elemi, Lemon and Raspberry.
At the core of development you detect Amberwood, Freesia, Iris and Jasmine holding a harmonious floral direction. At drydown level the line is anchored through Amber, Cashmeran, Sandalwood, Vanilla and musk, extending a enveloping musky trail.
The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Overall Iris Vainilla sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
