Flag and Lavender

Presale — ships November 23. Orders placed now ship Monday, November 23, not before. We expect this one to sell out right away, so don't wait if you want a bottle.

Bergamot and absinthe open it green and a little bitter, and pink pepper and cardamom keep the first minutes dry. Lavender runs the middle, cool and clean, with violet leaf and ripe fig keeping it from sliding into barbershop soap. The iris shows up underneath, and with ambrette and amberwood it wears creamy rather than lipstick-powdery.

Flag is the old mountain word for iris; the Dictionary of Smoky Mountain English has it. Iris Debonair reached Creed boutiques on September 1, 2026, built on lavender and iris pallida. Plenty of buyers wanted an iris soliflore and got a lavender fougère with the iris held back for the drydown. We think that's the better fragrance. If Roan Highlands, our Green Irish Tweed, is Creed in a tweed jacket, this is Creed in gray flannel.
