Bottega Verde Iris is an Eau de Toilette. Iris opens with Flax, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet, and Grasse Rose Absolute, and dries down to a base of Teak, Tonka Bean, and Clean Musk. Bottega Verde's Iris carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive little number, Iris is either a sweet, refined, long-lasting floral dream or a soapy, cheap, and intimate skin scent. Try before you buy, as your mileage may seriously vary.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, soft character make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual outings. While some reviewers report good longevity, the general consensus of 'weak' performance keeps it from being ideal for formal events.

About

Iris opens with a light, airy blend of flax and bright bergamot, offering a fresh, clean start. It quickly blossoms into a soft floral heart, dominated by a powdery iris alongside sweet violet and a whisper of Grasse rose. The base settles into a comforting, clean musk, underpinned by creamy tonka bean and a touch of grounding teak wood, evoking a sense of gentle warmth.
