Creed yet quite different
At the request of many a single person, I would like to get in touch with a somewhat longer description of a fragrance.
once again If a fragrance triggers the greatest enthusiasm in me, then I think he should not be fobbed off with just a statement. And beyond that, nothing has been written here for over 5 years.
So now that the cobwebs have been carefully removed from this page, I would like to reveal my opinion on Irisia to the general criticism.
The fragrance house Creed is here at Parfumo really in all mouth or nose. Daily ghosts almost mantra-like a certain magical and sacred fragrance through forum, ticker and discussion rounds. A fragrance that is said to have mysterious properties and that is meanwhile revered like an icon. Which admittedly alienates me a little.
Until some time ago, I was not aware that there is besides the big A still a much wider range of fragrances at Creed, because apart from the big A hardly other fragrances find mention.
Maybe a spray of Himalaya or a touch of Green Irish Tweed. At best still a Hub Virgin Island Water, but that's it.
Nevertheless, Creed offers a fairly large fragrance assortment, ranging from classic to modern and most tastes very well just.
The house Creed was originally founded in 1760 and was initially a tailor shop. A special name was made in the 19th century as a court supplier of the English royal family. In addition, the European aristocracy, including Queen Victoria or Napoleon III together with his wife Eugénie, counted among the regular customers The history of the Dufthauses lies however a little in the dark, because so completely exactly publications are not documented and the actual and well-known success history begins only in the middle of the 80's with Green Irish Tweed It can be assumed that the very early published fragrances were produced only in very small editions and were personally intended for the prominent clientele.
In 1968 came now Irisia on the market. From this fragrance came to me now a taster sample in the hands. And I am delighted in the highest degree.
Irisia is a beautifully designed fragrance that has the classic features of a true chypres. A citrusy top note, a floral heart and a mossy-woody base, which is all around still seasoned with fine spice.
With Irisia one has kept exactly to the basic recipe. However, one has dispensed here with a clear animal component in the base (eg ambergris or castoreum).
In the prelude, beautiful citrus notes appear, the tart bergamot and a little tangerine mix with. Shortly thereafter, the florals make an appearance. They are closely interwoven, none emerges really dominant. The interplay harmonizes beautifully. A slight green tinge is contributed by some galbanum. It is not much, since it is not as tone-setting as in other green chypre fragrances, but this typical green note is noticeable.
As it progresses, I notice amber and oakmoss, which is what gives the chypre scents their appropriate notes in the first place. Musk ensures, however, with a fine soapy subnote that no great creak comes up at all.
And some woody notes I recognize still in the fragrance, which additionally round off a little and give shape.
What I find interesting about Irisia: Although it is a chypre fragrance of the 60s and in this time already quite tart and dry chypre fragrances were on the market, I feel Irisia in no way as bulky or even particularly knarzig.
The fragrance seems overall rather cool to me, but it makes a thoroughly friendly impression. Here, even those who have rather difficulty with Chypre could find an access.
The whole thing has a surprisingly good durability and is anything but intrusive even with one or two sprays more.
Irisia is classified as a women's fragrance, but since it is generally known that I like and often disregard these classifications, I am also here of the opinion that the fragrance also works very well on men.
And I find him great. But why "only" a 9.5 and not the 10?
Because in terms of class, complexity, recognition value and perfection, it does not quite reach masterpieces such as Parure, Dioressence or even Fendi Donna, which are superior to Irisia in exactly these points.
But that should in no way dampen the enthusiasm. Irisia has everything that an excellent fragrance needs. And here again it shows: Earlier was more tinsel.
Only, once again, the joy has a catch.... Because Irisia is no longer around. I can not say when the fragrance was taken off the market, but it is a great pity.
I put the fragrance on my wishlist once. I will not chase him, because I am chypretechnisch now more than well equipped. But who knows...
I thank Anarlan very much for this great fragrance experience and the evil Anfixerei and thank you for reading :-))
