Gents, I know its been a while and I have to catch up with everyone. I have had issues with my job and time. My latest acquisition, (arrived today) is definitely something I wanted to talk about and share with the brotherhood. Somehow I was extremely lucky to find this site and so I purchase 2 Creed bottles (100ml each) for a helluva price. One of my all time favorite scents has been Green Irish Tweed and although I had a small vial size sample of it, I always wanted the OG bottle. I also wanted to smell the Silver Mountain Water, so I purchased that one too. I do have a few dupes of the scent, GIT, which also made me want the OG even more. So from usperfum.com I purchased the 2 bottles and they arrived today. Delivery took a while but its well worth it. Now on to all of my other favorites. I can see it already that I will be in the poor house soon. Creed GIT - $98 Creed SMW - $88 Stay smelling good BoS😁

Looking back at my collection, CK One really is "the one" that takes me straight back to being eighteen. Released in 1994, this iconic creation by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont was a true product of its time, the golden age of 90s perfumery. While I was more of a Tommy Hilfiger guy back then, I’ve come to appreciate CK One as the ultimate "blue jeans and white t-shirt" scent. It was revolutionary for being one of the first widely successful gender neutral fragrances, capturing a specific kind of effortless, minimalist cool that defined an entire decade. When I spray it now, the opening is a bright, nostalgic burst of citrus and fruit; I get a lot of lemon and bergamot mixed with a surprising touch of pineapple and papaya that keeps it from being just another green scent. As it settles, it transitions into a soft, clean floral heart where jasmine and lily-of-the-valley dominate, though a hint of nutmeg keeps it grounded. The dry down is where that classic 90s "clean" vibe really lives, leaning into a base of green tea, musk, and cedar. It’s a very transparent composition,nothing feels heavy or cloying, which is exactly why it has stood the test of time. In terms of performance, I have to be honest: like many of the CK lines, it’s a fairly average EDT. It doesn't project loudly, and it won't last you through a whole workday. However, my perspective on this has changed for the better. I’ve found it has become my go-to gym fragrance because it’s so light and inoffensive. It’s best suited for warmer spring and summer days or casual errands where you just want to smell fresh. Because the performance is on the lighter side, don't be afraid to overspray it. It’s a refreshing, easy-to-wear classic that feels just as right today as it did decades ago. My Rating 7/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1
