Let's Stay Connected:

[VeritasAequitas]

Virgin Island Water during spring/summer is a home run compliment machine. Always got a bottle rigged and ready in my collection

[chrishenry]

Royal oud is def #1 aventus is amazing too for spring and summer. One of the best warm weather fragrances ever created

[krisztianfarago]

Currently wearing Royal Oud, absolutely love it, still got my bottle from 2016

[melliebe]

I, ve been wearing Creed since 2000, before anyone I knew had ever heard of it (WAY before Aventus was released) my first was: “Milleseme Tuberose Indiana” omg so complex and it evolved for hours. I’m very sad that Creed got sold. I hope the fragrances stay exquisite. A Creed always smells classy & makes me feel well groomed.

Lucky enough to collect the rarer Creeds back in mid-2000s along with the original TF's... imo all the best have been discontinued, with exception of Royal oud and GIT but both have been sadly reformulated and lost a step.

12, Bayrhum vetiver / Cuir de russie (tied)
11, Epicia
10, GIT

Great list bro, keep it up 😎👍🏼

[heermansdisability]

Love royal water myself. Royal mayfair is amazing though. Great list.

[RacerRick]

YES !!!
The 2 Creeds that I own are your # 1 & # 2 in that order are my favorites too…

[owlyjim]

The Original Vetiver bottle looks so good!

[BenBarlow-flin]

Silver mountain water is great in cold winter

[cuthip]

The Fragrance Apprentice just had a stroke seeing Millesime Imperial at 9.

[waynewigginton]

10. Virgin Island Water. 9. Silver Mountain Water 8. Erolfa 7. Original Santal 6. Bois Du Portugal 5. Miliseme Imperial 4. Green Irish Tweed 3. Adventus Cologne 2. Viking Cologne 1. Spice and Wood

[ryanepps]

Bois du Portugal. That is the only Creed fragrance I want to admit I've tried

[SirSillageSniffington]

Whether one dislikes the brand or the way they operate or not, one has to admit that what Olivier Creed & Pierre Bourdon created (as well as Julien Rasquinet and Jean-Christophe Hérault) is a line of fragrances that is basically the perfect entry into niche - they are super versatile and wearable, (mostly) unique, very mass appealing whilst still feeling special and ‘niche’, and cover just about every situation one could find themselves in. I would argue that on scent profile alone, one could make a solid argument for Creed having one of the strongest men’s fragrance lines of any brand… ever.

I think if the quality was still what it used to be, the prices were a bit more reasonable, and certain things had been handled differently on the business end with Pierre Bourdon etc… it would probably be my favourite brand to be honest (in terms of what I actually like to wear). Money aside, I could happily wear nothing but vintage-quality Creed for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy with that.

P.s. Viking (and Viking Cologne for that matter) is underrated and overhated. Love the stuff. 🙌🏻

[Burog]

Man I smelled that creed viking at my local Dillards. Thanks for putting me on, it smelled amazing! Definitely can’t pay the 475$ retail price but I’ll definitely find it. Best cologne I’ve smelled so far.

[notbillymays]

My favorite is actually aventus cologne

[ryananderson]

Finally some love for Original vetiver. Only Vetiver to use all 3 parts of the vetiver and also just versatile and enjoyable, slept on hard in Creed's lineup. For me its a top 5. 5) Royal Oud, 4) Bois Du Portugal 3) Viking 2) Original Vetiver 1) Original Santal. This is just based off my skin chemistry and the performance and feeling I get from all of them. SMW I love but I prefer Mephisto. MI would be top 5 if it just performed well, but its great as a top layer. GIT is just outdone by Chez Bond. Aventus is just outdone by Hacivat and so many others at this point.

[ShagBackJack]

So funny how Royal Oud has "maybe a little bit of oud" lol but yes the dry woody spice is perfect description.
I've sampled that, Viking, and Green Irish Tweed. Viking was my favorite. Original Vetiver might be next from how you described it.

[nolo]

Yes, you should said something about #3. I don't know anything about it and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
