Where to source creed samples?

Any recommendations to get some samples, then where may I source the product?

Any sales or reductions to be aware of?

Saks 5th Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Ebay.

I usually get several samples when I buy a bottle of Creed. I have a good relationship with the Creed salesman at NM. Whenever I go, she will make me a sample of any fragrance. Sometimes give me a tester if there’s a quarter left in the bottle. I don’t abuse it, and sometimes I would tell her that I have enough.

I guess it’s like having a good relationship with your Rolex AD. They will give you little perks now and then.

Just go to the department store that sells Creed. I’m sure if you ask for a sample, they will give you one.

Just go to the nearest department store which sells Creed and ask nicely. Develop a relationship with one person there.

I have owned maybe 10 Creeds and had samples of nearly all of them. Some are very nice indeed.

Creed's history is totally fake though, so don't be fooled by it. It is just a marketing fairy tale. Cary Grant, Winston Churchill, JFK, Princess Grace...just silly. Creed didn't even exist before the '70s.

The Creed boutique has a smaller and more customizable sampler set than Neiman Marcus for about $35 less.

https://creedboutique.com/search?type=product&q=sample*

Avoid the stuff on eBay or the second hand sites. You may get a deal that seems great but most of it is either expired or fake. I buy my bottles from Neiman Marcus.

I tried some at Neiman and had a cougar follow me home.

She asked me if I was Latvian because I emitted strong kevorka.

(Buy the stuff)

Creed is overrated.

Try Guerlain, Penhaligon's, Roja Parfums, or Frederic Malle.

That is my newest acquisition. I picked it up a couple months back and it has been a great summer scent. Very refreshing

If you really want to know the scents worth buying, I highly recommend you join the forum http://www.basenotes.net/forum.php

Many longtime members started with Creed, moved on to more complex fragrances, and now avoid Creed like the plague.

Finally. Expert advice.

Better than Creed kevorka powers?

Try soap and water.

The history of the perfume industry was predominantly because people rarely bathed.
