Iris Debonair
Eau de parfum
English lavender and French iris pallida, cut like a bespoke suit.
Iris Debonair plays on the Franco-British duality dear to the house: a crisp, aromatic English lavender answers an iris pallida grown in France, one of perfumery's most precious materials. Bergamot co-infused with absinthe leaves opens the scent alongside pink pepper and cardamom.
Violet leaf and a fig pulp accord soften the heart, before a powdery base of iris, ambrette and amber woods. An elegant floral fougère with an impeccable drape.

Iris Debonair in detail
Creed combines a tailoring heritage, born in eighteenth-century London, with a perfumery of character. Iris Debonair pursues this idea of an impeccable cut: a powdery fougère in which lavender and orris fit together like a well-tailored suit, with nothing showy about it.
The official pyramid begins with a lively, slightly bitter top: bergamot, absinthe, pink pepper and cardamom. The heart brings together lavender, violet leaf and fig, which add a soft greenness. The base pairs orris, musky ambrette seeds and woody amber notes.
Iris Debonair is a daytime fragrance for spring and autumn: at the office, for a meeting, on a mild in-between-season day. Its powdery side also makes it a gentle way into the fougère family.
Three fougères in our catalogue come close: Green Irish Tweed, from the same house, shares bergamot and lavender; Layton by Parfums de Marly finds bergamot, cardamom and lavender again; 1725 Casanova by Histoires de Parfums pairs bergamot and lavender in a more gourmand fougère.
