Essence Iridescent

I've shared my thoughts on the original Essence and how tenderly perfect the marriage of iris and musk is, and while Essence Iridescent is extremely similar, the longevity and sillage do not compare. If you need your Essence fix, it suffices, but the original formula dominates on all fronts. If you are in love with the idea of the sparkles, though, I say go for it. They don't show up that prominently on clothes and do give a very subtle wet skin look.

Do not be scared of the sparkles :) They don't really show on your skin. It's lovely, if you like both of the flowers in it. I think it's a perfect fragrance for Spring and a great alternative to citrusy smells for spring/summer. The drydown reveals the typical NR musky notes. It's wonderful, creamy, milky, femminine, elegant, simple and light. It's not too sweet. I love soapy, powdery scents and this is just great for me. Well done. (4)

Beautiful soft elegant scent....in my fav section on my profile.... up top written in the blurb it reads iris ,rose, benzoin, musk - same notes as the regular Essence in the shiny bottle -yet the notes they decide to show in the pic are only the iris and rose. They need some proof checking here at Fragrantica!

This is my everyday scent; I feel it is sophisticated and light enough to be worn anywhere. The only defect for me is that Essence Iridescent doesn't last very long - I can't smell it on my skin after a few hours, and I tend to spray this on quite heavily. Thank goodness for the big, 70 ml bottle!

It's fantastic!! Actually a Narciso Rodriguez's fragrance that is perfect for the kind of weather where I live: in a hot and humid city. It's a very delicate fragrance, elegant and I love the smell of roses, iris, musk (a very nice musk, indeed), and I also love benzoin! Perfect for me!
