Floral fougère
Discover Iris Debonair, an addictive, floral fougère creation that captures the allure of an aesthete’s country house, where every room reveals a conscious art of living. The fragrance opens with a radiant note of bergamot, infused with absinthe leaves. At its heart, herbaceous English lavender unfolds with cool, aromatic clarity. Bathed in pale blue, French Iris pallida is utterly alluring and ranks among the most precious ingredients in perfumery.
The fascinating blend of British and French ingredients is immediately apparent: fresh English lavender and exquisite French Iris pallida enrich Creed’s exquisite range of raw materials whilst reflecting the House’s origins. Both of exceptional provenance and cultivated with the utmost precision and patience, together they lend a new dimension to Creed’s Art of Millésime.
A refined name
The name ‘Iris Debonair’, pronounced in the French manner, also embodies the vibrant British-French heritage of The House of Creed. Derived from the Old French phrase ‘de bon air’ – ‘of good breeding’ – this expression describes a person with natural charisma and quiet self-assurance who requires no validation. A personality that reflects the refined aesthetes who served as the inspiration for this creation.
Debonair in the spotlight
Iris Debonair – enveloped in soft shades of grey and tinged with blue – is presented in The House of Creed’s iconic bottle. It traces the silhouette of a gentleman’s classic hip flask. These carefully selected shades pay homage to the characteristic hues of the visionary fashion designer, Charles Creed – a fifth-generation member of the Creed family – who anticipated casual chic decades ahead of his time.
