My wife and I a couple of months ago were at a department store in NYC to explore some fragrances. (Shocker) 😜 We met a wonderful salesperson who was very gracious with her time and took us around not just Creed but many other houses. We had mentioned we were interested in Creed but were new to the house. We had bought some other fragrances from her. It was after the holidays so inventory was low. We had such a great time with her. It was a wonderful experience. Today with no warning this care package arrived to our house. 1 box for me another for my wife. They sent us a beautiful hand written note and all of these wonderful samples. Including the NEW Wild Vetiver! This is what the world needs more of. People to people relationships 🙏 I know Creed especially since Prada bought them has a polarizing opinion for some. But this isn’t about the fragrance house it’s about having a relationship with someone who wants to have one with you!

Retails for $190! https://fragflex.com/products/dolcegabbanatheonepourhomme2026editionparfum-man?variant=45498740146233&sca_ref=4783145.QR44WGbNVI

Another freshie for me today. PDM Castley to me is an excellent warm weather option. The best way I can describe how it smells is, if you took LV Imagination and mixed with PDM Sedley. Very fresh peppery ginger citrus opening. Work safe/ Spring, Summer/ daytime/ casual or formal. Presentation is rock solid as with all PDM. Heavy duty translucent grey bottle with a heavy duty cap that snaps into place. Projection and Longevity are both solid. 7 hours longevity with about 2 feet of projection. Solid edition to the other fresh ones in the lineup. Price point is high on this one even at discounters. 8.5/10
