Vera Wang Embrace Periwinkle & Iris is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Natasha Côté. Embrace Periwinkle & Iris opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Violet, and Periwinkle, and dries down to a base of Cream, Sugar Cane, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Vera Wang's Embrace Periwinkle & Iris carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Vera Wang's Embrace Periwinkle & Iris is a polarising sweet, powdery floral. While some find it a comforting, soft hug in a bottle, others are put off by its perceived artificiality, sickly sweetness, or resemblance to baby powder.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

Its soft, intimate sillage and calming, non-offensive character make it suitable for office and casual wear. The dominant sweet and powdery accords are generally less appropriate for formal events, and its subtle nature doesn't project well for dates unless used as a personal 'hug' scent.

About

A creamy, sugar-dusted scent primarily driven by vanilla. It opens with a fleeting citrus brightness from mandarin and bergamot before settling into a heart of powdery iris and delicate violet. The base is an indulgent mix of whipped cream, vanilla, and benzoin, creating a soft, slightly milky gourmand embrace.
