Wearing the EDP from the Signature Collection to work again today. Originally launched in 2019 as a Private Blend and rereleased in 2020. It’s a modern take on the classic aromatic fougere. It opens with lavender that's fresh, slightly powdery, and herbal, evoking a vintage barbershop vibe but polished. The heart brings in green, aromatic notes with an earthy, herbal crispness and subtle floral and minty facets. The base settles into warm patchouli and amber giving it a musky, slightly sweet depth that feels confident and grounded without being heavy. Overall, it's a well groomed gentleman fragrance that’s masculine, classy, timeless, and sophisticated. It’s versatile for day or night, office to evening. Performance is solid with longevity around 8 hours and moderate projection (strong opening, then settles closer). It's not overly sweet or trendy, it's refined and mature. If you're into lavender driven scents with herbal greenness and a warm base, it's a winner. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a confident, modern barbershop fragrance that's still classic.

acquired this sample on my saturday trip. and oh my stars am i in love. ive tried a lot of freshies before, i dont think very many come close to this one. definitely up there. opening notes are very bright and sparkly. think minty fresh mojito on a yacht. you get some citrus, mint, black currant, and a nice, soft, spicy edge with coriander. the middle notes are a very dominant, photorealistic and noticeable apricot, complimented by an herbal, floral slice of basil, carrot seed, and rose, before descending into a rich, fruity, musky base of fig and dates. this is ultimate vacation in a bottle. it’s bright, playful, yet mature with a sophisticated edge amongst the sweetness. an absolute compliment beast. i’ve gotten so many compliments from this one today. performance? absolutely amazing for a freshie. i get about 7-8 hours out of this, with fantastic projection, and that’s with just using the sample, although LV sample atomizers are genuinely amazing. only con is the price tag, but honestly after 4 months of careful budgeting, i think i could buy a full sized bottle. i’m at least looking to direct that amount of money for SOMETHING that high end, just not sure yet. but definitely consider this one.

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!
