Warm spicy (cinnamon, pink pepper), sweet, smoky (tobacco), aromatic opening
Modern, mature, potent fragrance
Great projection and sillage
Can be overcloying at times
Can be used in the office for 1-2 sprays and best for evenings out
Best for Fall and Winter
Woody, earthy, powdery, vanillic (bourbon vanilla), bit leathery on dry down
Great longevity
Very discernible for 3-4 hours and stays as a skin scent and on clothes for 5-6 more hours
When you thought it's gone, you suddenly catch whiffs of the fragrance intermittently several more hours after application
Classic Creed flask-shaped bottle: bright, fiery red; gold heavy cap, good atomizer
Great overall performance
I would highly recommend Centaurus⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Supposed clones:
Crimson by Rayhaan = 9.5/10 similarity (Maturation has really helped a lot.. this can do the job for a fraction of the cost)
Royal Taboo by Aromatix = 9/10 similarity (I don't know if further maturation will make it close to 1:1) but at this point this is a slightly toned-down version that I might actually prefer over the OG and Crimson.. this is my initial impression..
