Well, it’s finally been unveiled, the newest and McDreamiest scent ever created by Avon, made its first appearance this weekend in New York. Patrick Dempsey, who plays Dr. McDreamy on the ABC hit drama Grey’s Anatomy, has finally given the public its first glance, and sniff of the scent that he created through a partnership with Avon.

We broke the news in April that the actor had partnered with AVON, the global beauty company to create a signature men’s scent. The new fragrance, which will be called Unscripted, was finally unveiled at a press conference at the Skyloft Penthouse in New York City.

Dempsey’s wife, Jillian, has been the global color director at Avon since 2006 and Dempsey felt that a partnership with the company was a natural fit. When it comes to fragrance, “It just felt better to go [with Avon] because I already knew everyone,” said Dempsey, “Lots of people are signing on to do things, but I wanted to be part of it by getting into [fragrance development] and understanding it so it becomes something that’s personal and that’s what Avon’s all about.

As of now, there is no sign of the new fragrance on Avon’s website, and no word yet on when it will officially become available, but we will keep you posted.
