By the editors · 2 min readTed Lapidus Creation's iteration opens with orris and neroli — powdery and citrus-floral in equal measure — over honey that adds sweetness without becoming gourmand. The iris note runs through both the opening and the heart, giving the fragrance a consistent powdery quality that connects the layers. Tuberose, jasmine, and rose crowd the heart in classic white-floral fashion, but the orris-honey top softens their intensity, keeping the floral declaration elegant rather than dense.
The base is firmly in chypre territory: oakmoss, amber, and patchouli giving weight and the characteristic bitter-earthy drydown. For its launch date this is notably classical in construction — a deliberate revisitation of an older aesthetic that the Ted Lapidus house has historically occupied. Wears best in cool weather with a proper occasion.
