Part of Creed’s Acqua Originale Collection – a fragrance journal of holidays and adventures. Fresh, radiant scents that conjure the joy and energy of travel. From Java to Tuscany, India to Sicily, let this collection take you to some of the most exquisite locations around the world via scent.
The romance of Tuscany can almost be felt vibrating through Iris Tuberouse. Combine this with the exotic allure of India and we get two of the most intoxicatingly beautiful floral notes – Italian iris and Indian tuberose. A luminous fragrance combining two of Olivier Creed’s favourite holiday destinations in one gorgeous art deco bottle. Powdery violet and buttery iris, then tuberose picked under moonlight creates an intoxicatingly unforgettable and radiant bouquet of flowers.

HOW IT WEARS
Iris Tubereuse is an incredibly balanced floral. The iris never overpowers the tuberose and vice versa. They work in perfect harmony together and create a light, elegant and airy floral. There is a bright and creamy softness, rather than a buttery intensity from the iris. Similarly, there is the distinct sweet white floral note of tuberose, however, it is restrained and gentle. The overall result is a delicate, slightly powdery, luminous floral blend. An EDP, this collection has great longevity for such fresh and bright scents. We get around 6 – 8 hours on the skin generally with a medium silage.
LORE LOVES
We love the fusion of Italy and India for this fragrance. Using the best of the best, it is only natural to combine the tuberose from India with the iris from Italy. The effect is pure class and elegance. We imagine this scent as the fragrance world’s version of Vicuña Wool. The most exclusive and expensive fabric in the world, it is known as the ‘fibre of god’. Nature has made Vicuña so perfect, so incredible, so luxurious. Much like the perfect iris and the perfect tuberose stem.
