Too much and too little
Beginning with the positives. It smells like a real iris flower, or at least some of the varieties I have actually smelled. Very soft, plush floral with a vanilla-like sweetness. This part is so lovely it almost makes it full bottle worthy. Maybe one day I will decide it is. I am open to that possibility. Splendiris evokes a similar mood in me as Apres l'Ondee. A chilly spring morning, possibly a little misty, definitely gray. Watercolor vibe. The scent of a real iris flower is soft, thus it follows that Splendiris is rather soft too. I certainly don't expect a fragrance like this to be a sillage monster. Look elsewhere is sillage is what you seek. Splendiris is mostly a skin scent on me, but it's lovely, especially in the heart where I get that pure, powdery iris flower.

Now the (subjective according to my preferences) downside. The jasmine really bothered me. It gave an exotic feel, which made my natural iris flower turn screechy. Also, there is an obvious note of ambergris. Typically I would welcome it, but here it doesn't work with the delicate iris flower. It's out of place. You feel like you're in nature, in a Monet paining; then suddenly the stank of an animal. Just doesn't work for me at all. Perhaps with the rose, jasmine and ambergris she was going for a vintage-chic feel? But it clashes with the naturalistic iris. I wish she had just focused on that beautiful iris flower alone. I also feel that the vanilla is too much, rendering the beautiful iris flower of my imagination a bit cloying. Does that make sense? It's not a cloying fragrance whatsoever (it's the opposite of cloying), but I would have preferred it if I found myself asking, "IS THAT vanilla I detect or am I imagining it?" It's too sweet somehow.

The pure and beautiful part of the fragrance, the delicate iris flower, reminds me so much of Prada's Infusion d'Iris Absolue. At other times I am reminded of Masque Milano's L'Attesa, which annoys me even more with all its floral notes that detract from the iris.

Overall I believe it's a winner from Dusita, and I appreciate it. I did enjoy wearing it and would certainly recommend that iris lovers try it. Splendiris would be smashing in springtime.

a violetty iris
This opens with a powdery, lush bouquet of violets and their leaves attached paired with an earthy, root heavy orris. The rose here is very light, soft, demure, and subtle with a delicate sweetness to it, like little rose petals rather than the whole flower. The carrot seed is also very prominent amplifying the earthy facets of the scent and adding a woodiness. As the scent develops it’s becomes a creamy, buttery iris heavy scent with earthiness still lingering. The dry down is a warm and woody carroty musk with hints of vanilla and remnants of a buttery iris and violet combo.

Splendiris is a different take on iris, this time we get the flower...

Splendiris is not the typical iris we have come to expect from “perfume iris”, there is no lipstick vibe, no excessive powderiness, nor that typical dusty, earthy, rooty scent of synthetic orris that has become “iris” in our minds. The heart of Splendiris smells more like the actual iris flower instead of just the orris butter to my nose, especially the mid dry down phase, which is an entirely different scent from the iris root. I get a botanical iris flower with the leaves, created from an accord of orris butter, violet, violet leaf, carrot seed, rose and fig leaf. It smells like a hybrid of the violet flower and iris flower combined, which are both similar in scent, and both can only be smelled by pretty much sticking your nose into the flower. If you have done that then you will recognize the iris scent more so than the standard orris we come to expect in an iris perfume.

The opening of Splendiris isn’t blue-like to my nose, the blue, green and purple notes combined with orange, mandarin and rose, gives it an energized multi colored scent initially. As the notes settle during the dry down, the blue aspects take over and become more prominent and the sweet orris butter becomes more noticeable, and this is when I begin to smell the iris flower recreation. The earthiness from the vetiver starts coming through later, along with some muskiness from the ambergris and warmth of vanilla and it has a sort of waxiness, sort of like sniffing a candle burning nearby. There is no smokiness or anything like that, but like the scent emanating from a candle which is slightly different from perfume. I even get a slight paper like feel, almost like turning the pages of a book near a calming botanical candle.

For me, Splendiris starts out bright eyed and energizing like a sunny morning with flowers opening, and transforms into a garden of soft blue irises in the afternoon, and ends with candlelight under the moon, and irises just outside the window, ending somewhat bittersweet as the irises start to close for the season.

Not my iris
The iris is my favorite flower in perfumery, but I really dislike this interpretation of it. It's so chemically heavy, like the iris flower has been robbed of all its potential beauty, of its very soul, and just its skeleton has been left behind to float in a jar of astringent violet-scented disinfectant. It's too indolic, too old school, we just don't have too many topics we could broach, this iris belongs to a much older person.

Flowers, fruit, or is something wilting?
Is it floral or more fruity? Or yet none of the above.
Basically I find the fragrance appealing, only unfortunately I do not know exactly what it is.
I was looking for an iris fragrance, had already tried a lot, but the right for me was not really there. Then I came across the Splendiris in the fragrance shop in Cologne.

Let's start as always with the packaging, kept simple in a rectangular cardboard box, thrond the flacon in the middle.
A rather simply held glass bottle with a metal cap.
The first spray shows me a complex composition of various fragrances, no sweet in my opinion, rather a meadow with various flowers. After a time join also fruity notes to it, a light citrus note comes through. I have just kiwi before the eyes...
The 2nd spray puts me in a greenhouse, oppressive, flowery, wilts there something?
After about an hour, the iris comes to my nose, gaaaanz slightly powdery. Dominant for me are green colors, a slight earthy note I can not deny.

Since I perceive fragrances especially (I'm blind, but could see earlier) I would like to describe to you the image that forms to this fragrance in front of my inner eye:
A greenhouse, a lot of green, a flower pot with an iris and a withered bouquet.

Longevity and performance are average, for me a fragrance to a green polo shirt.
I like him!

A combination of violet-iris and a little vanilla in the base. Classic and perfumey with Guerlain tendencies

Dry violet. Balances between floral and herbaceous with a hint of powderiness. Rather feminine, but not shrill or squeaky.

Exceedingly powdery violet iris with brief ripe fresh fig. Hint of rose. Bit of funk underneath reminds you flowers grow from the dank soil.

As with other Dusitas I've tried, there's something slightly off here: violets shot through with musty sweetness; iris as an afterthought.

A well blended traditional metallic-green violety floral, but with zero DH-like iris. Neither sweet, interesting or unique. Leans mature.
