The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Embrace Periwinkle & Iris by Vera Wang is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Natasha Côté. This composition opens with the brightness of bergamot and mandarin orange before diving into a heart of iris, violet, periwinkle, and jasmine that creates a floral blend both delicate and rich. The base notes of whipped cream, sugar, vanilla, and benzoin add warmth and sweetness, grounding the fragrance in a powdery, earthy finish.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points, allowing the fragrance to develop on your skin over time. The sweet base notes are best experienced close to the skin rather than from across the room, making it perfect for intimate settings.
