Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
On my skin, the opening is a clean orange with violet leaves, like a luxury soap. The flowers don’t bloom here; it stays violet until the very end. It’s refined and elegant, the perfume of Queen Elizabeth or Kate Middleton. It caresses, with a shy lily at the base. It smells like old money. I wear it on meeting mornings to project pedigree; it smells expensive and exclusive, a cousin of Cartier’s Declaration.

Elegant and long-lasting fragrance. It’s exquisite, but watch out: more than three sprays and you’ll suffocate. That’s the ‘downside’ of olfactory jewels, like Chanel. But well, it makes the bottle last longer. Floral aroma with a citrus opening. Lasts over 10 hours on my skin, which is rare. I see it for women over 30.

I own Estée Lauder’s Tuberose Gardenia and Miller Harris’s Tuberosa; both are exquisite, long-lasting, and super feminine. Then came this one from Creed, Iris Tubereuse, and it’s supermegaexquisite. I love it. It doesn’t last as long as the others, but so what? It fascinates me. I’ll finish it in the summer and buy another, and so on for the rest of my life. It’s meant to be enjoyed in the moment: a fresh, strong iris that gives way to neroli shouting ‘here I am, I was invited’… fabulous!

THE SOPHISTICATED TOUCH OF FLOWERS. Oh, Creed Iris Tubereuse intoxicates me. It reminds me of Estée Lauder’s Tuberose Gardenia. It smells like luxury, white flowers ruled by neroli, gardenia (though I don’t detect it), valley lily, and herbs with a musky base. I don’t detect vanilla, lily of the valley, orange, or iris. Maybe the white flowers overwhelm everything. It’s contradictory that the iris isn’t noticeable, since it’s usually key. But it doesn’t matter; it’s beautiful in superlatives, natural notes, elegant presence. Too bad it doesn’t escape Creed’s Achilles’ heel: divine but very fleeting.

Maybe the white flowers cancel everything out. It’s contradictory that the iris isn’t noticeable, which is usually key. But it doesn’t matter; it’s beautiful to the max, natural notes, elegant presence. Too bad it doesn’t escape Creed’s Achilles’ heel: divine but very fleeting.
Where is that iris note like the one I know from Dior Intense? I wondered, but I figured it out: it’s Hermodactylus, the scientific name for Iris tuberosa. Category: Species. Higher classification: Iris. The scent is very different and fantastic. I only got to try it at a test in a luxury store.
