Embrace - Periwinkle and Iris Vera Wang 2015 Eau de Toilette

The scents of the Vera Wang "Embrace" series are already distinguished by the delicate colors that shimmer from the classic, almost simple flacons.
Rosé for "Rosebud and Vanilla," soft green for "Green Tea and Pear Blossom," and this time a beautiful light blue for "Periwinkle and Iris."
I find this corresponds to the delicate femininity of the content.

The "blue scent" opens with a pleasantly fresh note before the violet makes its presence known - the first fragrant blue. All three blend surprisingly well together.
Iris and blue jasmine bring an astonishing fullness of scent; with blue jasmine taking the lead. It overshadows the iris but harmonizes well with the periwinkle.
So far, in my opinion, it is quite an unusual scent combination. It piques curiosity about what is to come.
The sweetness of the base note is a bit too much for me. It initially overshadows my rather positive impression of "Periwinkle and Iris."
It also takes some time for the floral notes to recover from the intensity of the sweetness and eventually engage in a fair competition with it.

This scent is a little too sweet for me, and I am not unhappy about its only average longevity on my skin.
Yesterday, I tried "Periwinkle and Iris" on my skin at dm. Today, it has changed very pleasantly on the scent strip.
This shows that my skin may not be the right scent carrier for it.

After "Embrace - Green Tea & Pear Blossom," this is only the second scent from Vera Wang that I tried out of curiosity.
I was surprisingly fond of the "Green Tea"; this "blue blend" is not quite to my liking.

However, I can well imagine that the right, perhaps younger woman can be happy with "Embrace - Periwinkle and Iris." It is distinctly feminine.
The scent is not very demanding, but easy to wear. Especially all the "sweet tooth" individuals could satisfy their sugar cravings this way, without a significant calorie intake.
