So been looking at Creed for a bit now and looking at all the had to offer. After seeing how many members also used their brand on here, I decided to give it a try. Rather than blind buy, I ordered some sample packs online and they actually sent me some more free samples upon speaking to them. They have a lot of great fragrances but decided to start with Aventus and Green Irish tweed. Once my wife smelled the samples she really liked Millesime Imperial for herself.

I ended up receiving the Aventus bottle over the holidays as a gift, and also picked up the GIT for myself and Millesime Imperial for my wife.

Wore them to a friend’s wedding last night and they smelled great.

Looks like I’ll probably pick up some more down the road as Royal Oud, silver mountain water and original Santal seemed really good.

Aventus and GIT are my two go to’s.

superdog · 30 December 2019, 03:59 AM

I wear only Aventus.

I get compliments literally all the time. Doubt I’ll ever wear anything else ever again.

Yep my two favourites as well.

I received my first bottle of Creed, Aventus, as a Christmas gift this year.
Very nice fragrance and long lasting as well.
I need to train myself to giving a lighter touch to the spray bottle as a little goes a long way.

ArtNouveau · 30 December 2019, 07:39 AM

I used Aventus for a while a few years ago, eventually it became too overpowering for me. The only other Creed I really liked is the Virgin Island Water that has a kind of coconut scent.
I switched a few years ago to Hanae Mori HM which has a vanilla base. Unfortunately I think it’s been discontinued. The nicer department stores have their women’s scents but the only place I’ve still seen the men’s are the discounter sites.

winst · 30 December 2019, 07:56 AM

I prefer Rocky to Creed - lit more editions to choose from!

austinp · 30 December 2019, 08:00 AM

GIT for me. The wife loves it.

VIW is a really good scent .. only thing is the performance isn’t that great. But such an amazing DNA

That is on my list of one’s to try, as well as Bois du Portugal

Old spice anti-perspirate. My daughter and wife love it. Why change perfection. Just messing with you guys. Enjoy your creed.

Drdubzz · 30 December 2019, 01:06 PM

I got the 5-scent Creed sample pack from Nordstrom for Christmas. It has Aventus, GIT, Viking, Silver Mountain Water, and Aventus Cologne

I've had a chance to wear them all now and I really enjoyed the Aventus Cologne the most, then Aventus and Viking, I enjoyed them all but probably GIT the least. I'm really happy to have been able to try them all, I think if I step up and shell out for a bottle the Aventus Cologne (lighter gray bottle versus original Aventus) will be my first choice.

I haven’t had a chance to smell the new one yet but heard good things about it.

jwkunkle · 31 December 2019, 02:12 AM

Aventus for me also. Will be my forever scent.

I wear Aventus every day and my girlfriend loves the scent. Great collection you have there

Alexwwjd · 31 December 2019, 05:16 PM

I do like Creed but I haven't bought any yet.

I'm still in love with my Louis Vuitton Au Hasard

Anyone have any other recommendations on good niche fragrances ?? I read about a few online but wanted to see your thoughts.

Have a look at Floris, they have an amazing selection of fragrances that compliment a collection that includes Creed.

Dr.Brian · 2 January 2020, 09:36 AM

That’s a great start. Bois du Portugal is a classic and recently discontinued.
I’d get my nose on that and see if you like it. Then you can pick up a bottle at MSRP before it’s too late.

Went naked for NYE this year. I forgot!

Maison Margiela Replicas they are real

just replicate the titles check them out. Also Maison Kurdijan and they are all between 100-200 usd not too bad.

armybuck041 · 2 January 2020, 10:35 AM

I also have a fairly extensive collection of Acqua di Parma. My other hobby is old school shaving, and AdP is a well known brand to that community.
