Smelling classic doesn’t mean smelling cheap, right? One of the most popular of Creed Perfumes, it was created by Oliver Creed the sixth generation descendant of the fonder of the House in 1985.
The basil in the top notes is quite natural, and soon mixes with florals. At some – very interesting point – there is a turnover between sweet, floral and even sweet notes. All masculine of course, all of this in moderation. The result is extremely clean stuff.
And then amber kicks in a little harder and, well I have to say it kind of took over and spoiled the magic a little. But until then, the complexity of this aromatic fragrance for men had been up to its fame and price.
Woods are waiting in the end, still with a warm amber with intensity, and the aromatic herbs struggling a little to come out from the background.
The mix of basil and other herbs with soapy florals and amber of this Creed Cologne may be something you already smelt before, but in this case there is one difference, and that’s called quality. The difference between this one and all the aromatic fragrances for men out there, will be felt even by the roiughest of noses. Unless…
A consideration and a word of caution. The consideration is: this Creed Parfum is pretty darn expensive. And the advice is: remember that the chemistry of your skin will affect the duration of a perfume and – to some extent – they way it smells. If you have a skin like mine for example, it will squeeze the life out of a fresh fragrance way quicker that its perfumer ever thought it could be possible.
My point here is: before buying it, try it with similar fragrances like Aqua di Gio (more Mediterranean), or Cool Water (more aquatic), and see if this complex perfume comes out complex on you as well. If – god forbid – it smells too similar to Cool Water on you, then consider buying that one instead.
If this perfume was a color it would be this:
