Irisia (1968)
by Creed

This is an absolute beginner review !!
Very strong at the beginning then becames more pleasant. The drydown is what I like most, dusty and dry. Better on my wife than on me. A *** stars for me.

The dry and dusty iris root is evident from the very start, along with a bit of lavender and some soft floral notes. Rose emerges over the first hour, but the scent remains extremely musty. An honest, straightforward iris scent, but it's easily outclassed by the likes of Iris Silver Mist, Hiris, and Iris Bleu Gris.

Dusty iris and dry oakmoss nestled within the signature Creed base. It's definitely not as sharp as most florals from this house. Unisex, and easy wearing in the heat of summer. Given it's birthdate of 1968, I find it timeless in presentation ~ especially now with the current influx of iris frags. I'm actually suprised how much I like this one!!!

I love the dry and somewhat dusty smell of the iris in Irisia. It reminds me of the real deep purple flowers on a hot day in May. I was raised in an area where all of the farm ladies swapped irises for their gardens in many varieties and colors. I think it's nostalgia with me and Irisia.

Well I'm not very good ad describing scents,I'm a beginner in this fine art of scents...
But I can say that I like the fact that is black,This is how I perceive it it's got that aura of mistery and power as well as opulence...
It's got quite a character ,the beginning is very strong ,starts off with the iri and tuberose,it's a bit heady but at the same time it's pretty fresh to my nose....I don't quite perceive the middle notes(citrus heart of bergamot from Calabria and Sicilian mandarin) but the drydown is purely WONDERFUL AND SUBLIME,I think it's the oak moss than stands out surrounded by a bit of vanilla and ambergris,it's a dream....
I'm gonna definately buy this one...

A surprise from Creed - an unfloral floral that gives up opulence for simplicity. The best part is the drydown when the iris root opens and a warm, almost doughy character makes its presence. a must try for iris lovers and Creed devotees. Wonderful on a warm summer day when I'm tired of citrus.
