Recently I’ve found myself interested in such a combination of irris, violet and orris. So Iris d’or has been on my track since a while and I’m not disappointed, even though not wowed either.
This perfume begins with a very light trace of violet and irris. It’s funny that I get violet leafs at the beginning, instead of base notes. But soon after it reveals its main character. The powdery notes immerse intensively. It reminds me a little of insolence without fruity notes. It’s a powerful woman’s perfume who wants to stand out of mainstream. I second the bellow reviewer that it ain’t an under 25 perfume.It’s true for me too. I could have never go for it ten years ago. but now I find it interesting.
It has some classic vibes, the same powdery, cosmetic note, original pour femme charm and yet I can’t call it solely by one of these characteristics.
I should remark that I don’t get any woody note clearly, which is a shame. Instead mimosa ruins it for me. I’m not sure what I expected, but I can say iris d’or is good, just not good enough for me.

For me simply the best member of the Splendida collection. And even beyond that. I agree with Calvini that this is rather violet than Iris, but still beautiful, feminin scent. Sweet, but not cloying, only pure flower scent, with the little citrus note at the very beginning that makes it light and feels you with joy. I would recommend it only over 25. This scent is not for jeans-day, but for occasions you want to appear and feel impressive, elegant, a true lady, or professional.

This is beautiful and elegant fragrance. Light, floral, not sweet, powdery. I smelled green notes and iris at the very beginning. Those green notes i suspect were the violet leaf. I went to Bloomingdale’s website, they mentioned violet leaf as one of top notes and well as Bvlgari web site though Bvlgari forgot to mention Iris notes next to mimosa))).

This really is a beautiful scent. My favorite out of the whole line. I think this might be my Holy Grail Iris scented fragrance. So beautiful and feminine and ladylike fit for a queen. I was planning on getting a full hundred mL bottle. Yesterday I went to the Bvlgari counter and the sales person gave me a 15ml bottle free of charge he said he was not supposed to give it to me but I guess my drooling worked. Lol
Sillage and longevity are perfect for me.

It really smells the iris note most of all in the beginning. It reminds me somehow iris in Fleurissimo by Creed, only not so powerful, much lighter. Great economy:) But unfortunately it doesn’t last for a long time. I would say that this fragrance is the most noble from the line. And it doesn’t seeem to me too powdery. If I was an iris fan, I would buy it.
Akeks CH – :
the beginning is very similar to johnson´s baby shampoo the yellow bottle then you can smell greenery is an ok fume is very bvlgari , most of their perfumes smell quite similar .
it is a no from me

Im impressed. A bright citrus opening and its true I did immediately think of Femme which I already love. The citrus soften and then you are very aware of cool iris. A lovely dose of iris to. Some nice kick from the violet leaf.
A nice big fresh green note and then slowly you become aware of the sandalwood and mimosa soft powdery sweetness. Some soft sweetness from the Tonka.
Overall it’s a bright, floral/green not too sweet fragrance. My only disappointment is that the iris does not dominate for much longer.
Very classy, very Bvlgari and another winner.
dqn548bedyWelty – :
The opening is a fresh citrus burst, which quickly turns into a creamy iris skin scent. The creaminess comes from the sandalwood and tonka bean, so it isn’t extremely sweet. The scent also doesn’t project that much.
I think the dry down would be suitable for a number of occasions. I see a classy well dressed lady wearing this to her corporate office job, or the mom who dresses up for her kid’s graduation.
There is a slight heaviness to the drydown, a little powdery that makes it a scent I probably wouldn’t have worn in my early twenties. The Violet/iris combo just isn’t that sweet scent I enjoyed when I was younger. Now in my 30s I quite enjoy Iris D’Or.
unstoppingzs – :
NOT an iris scent but a candied green violet with honeyed mimosa.
aauris258 – :
To me, this is Pour Femme all the way and I love it, of course. Romantic, feminine, elegant, classy, comforting and, despite of all that powder, is really airy. It has very good longevity and sillage.
Nick0304 – :
Call me crazy, but this smells very fruity.
Fruity and perfumey. It reminded me of poem by Lancome. I was surprised when i saw the notes.
It is a nice fragrance, but very linear and sillage is very soft.
feld – :
just got this perfume today & i LOVE it !!! yes its very similiar to bvlgari femme but i dont care lol the iris in this perfume is outstanding……..so soft & dreamy 🙂
and nice & powdery too – which is always a winner to me 🙂
i am very happy with this scent…….iris lovers should be happy 🙂

I think the iris note (for me at least) is a bit misleading. I would say there is a green fresh violet note rather than earthy powdery iris. My impression wearing this is that of a realistic green (not the Guerlain insolence sweet candy violet) office friendly sparkling violet. Like a sip of cold prosecco: elegant and slightly crisp. It’s a beautiful scent, but I feel I was envisioning something very different just by looking at the notes so I just wanted to share my impressions for those of you that are fans of iris. For me, this is not an iris scent.

I love sandelwood but i can’t feel there is sandelwood in it. It smells iris and i don’t like it.
ovv – :
I think the pyramid is wrong here? In reality there is violet leaf and heliotrope as top notes, mimosa and iris root stems as middle. And some vetiver complementing the tonka and sandalwood in the base.

Not a fan of the dry down. Too green for my liking. The opening was a sweet, sophisticated floral that made me look forward to summer!

I was afraid that Bvlgari had also changed this perfume so much from the original Femme but I have noticed with relief that it is almost identical to the old version – it only lacks intensity, as it often happens with new formulations, and it is maybe a bit sweeter or fruitier but not in a fresh way, or maybe just less powdery, more suitable for a younger audience. You could mistake it for the EDT of the old version. When I wear this one it weakens after 8 hours and disappears after 12 hours, whereas the old version lasted until the next day in its full glory – it also left a nice scent on my pillow.
Of the three scents that Bvulgari has revamped this is the one that remained the most similar to the original, Femme.
I don’t notice any fresh or green notes at all while I wear it. On me, like in the old version, I only detect the good old violet, rose and iris combination with that suave creamy, powdery base. But I have smelled the same perfume on somebody else and on her it had that green, almost fruity note. I have also
noticed that the dry-down on fabrics is much much fresher and fruiter than what I perceive when I weaer it, so yes, the fruity note must be somewhere.
Violet is still the predominant note though, so I don’t understand why it is not listed in the notes pyramid, and why the name of the perfume is Iris D’Or. This is definitely not an Iris scent.
UPDATE: I have been wearing this for a while now and I started noticing a difference in the the dry down between this and the old version. The old version becomes alluring, ethereal, abstract while this new one is somehow more linear, sweeter and with a pronounced fruity note. I like to have both and I don’t know why, with the cold weather I prefer wearing Iris D’Or, and sometimes I prefer Femme which is suitable also at high temeperatures.
UPDATE 2: Wearing this a lot in winter. It gets SO many compliments from men and women.

Nice, fresh, powdery iris. Usually powder can’t be fresh but this is an exception. I am not a big fan of iris but I truly like this one.
master15 – :
The bvlgari version of kerbside violet from lush. Of course very different as it is more linear, smooth polished, simple rather than layered, and without that gourmand hippie vibe that is present in all lush scents.This makes it a more cohesive and attractive perfume but to me in the long run also a bit boring as there is not much development or deepness. I wish there would be more development as the opening intrigues me. In the urge for a simple fresh smooth green iris this will do though as it holds up quite well and has character.

Iris is one of my favorite note in a fragrance. This fragrance opens with a powdery and sweet iris. The sweetness given by tonka bean mixed with sandalwood embraces the iris and gives a balsamic touch to the composition. It is not a metallic iris. It is a sweet, floral one., warm and sensual. As time goes by the greenish feel appears and gives a herbal hint to the fragrance. Till the end it remains a creamy, green iris. It is an interesting and fun perfume, totally wearable. If you like sweet creamy iris with a green touch than this is the one you must try.
Olimpix007 – :
Just got it today, it is definitely a green iris, very grown up, very mature even..not sure it is one I will love, I need to give it more time..it isnt easy to get, I had to order it on a spanish website and have a friend sent it to me…I get for some reason a strong licorice undertone with it too..greenish licorice, greenish leafy root..not sure..I find it a bit heavy, for now, I expected different, more creamy, warmer, this is quite a cold scent..smells expensive, in a serious way..on the fence as of today
Shushik – :
On the paper this is Anna Sui/Lou Lou Blue. That plastic vanilla.
Drydown more fruity and similar to the first bulgari pf.
A 90s disco-algid fruity vanilla lipstick fragrance.
Make me sad.
qxt260bedyWelty – :
A strong iris scent, with some green notes.
I like it rather well and I was really glad to see this new collection of scents by Bvlgari, which is one of my favorite brands.
Smells more like a rich, mature scent, it’s probably not suitable for very young girls.
Iris is very interesting in it, it doesn’t smell plain at all. This scent has that typical Bvlgari’s “expensive scent” smell to it.
Apaklyaspicky – :
This will be available from Apr.29 in Japan, and I’ve tried today. It is very beautiful. Splendid! I will get it.
GOOmimiseah – :
Iris, Sandalwood & Tonka Bean.
My most favorite notes, let me guess. It’s going to be creamy, sensual & a little powdery.
Can’t wait for this. If its my guess correct definitely will get this.

I have worn all of the Bvlgari scents and love them all, however I do have a favorite, but would never turn down a bottle of any of them, so if this compares to the others.
