Creed Iris Debonair — “ Creed Iris Debonair. And when Creed drops something new people pay attention because this house has been doing this since 1760. That's not a typo. Early reviews liken the scent to refined office and date-night scents in the designer iris category, such as the Dior Homme line, Givenchy Gentleman EDT Intense, or Prada L'Homme. Bergamot, violet leaf, pink pepper and lavender open it up - fresh, a little spicy, a little herbal. That violet leaf right up top is what makes this different from a standard opening. It adds this green, almost dewy quality that sets the tone perfectly. Then iris, orris and violet hit the middle and that's the heart of the whole fragrance. Iris and orris are basically the same plant - orris is the root - so layering them together creates this deep, powdery, cool floral depth that only the best iris fragrances achieve. Violet adds softness alongside it. Sandalwood, amberwood and musk close it out warm, clean and smooth. This base is what makes it wearable for hours without getting heavy. Iris, floral, woody, musky. Unisex and genuinely elegant. This is a fragrance for somebody who doesn't need to explain their taste to anybody. Top: Bergamot, Violet Leaf, Pink Pepper, Lavender Middle: Iris, Orris, Violet Base: Sandalwood, Amberwood, Musk Price guess: $380-$480 Best season: Spring and Fall. Iris is a transitional season fragrance at its best. @chrisdaceo | Christopher Lee Fragrances
