You already know or soon you will know the house of Creed puts out some great fragrances, and this one is in the top 10! If you like a dominant green tea note, a combo of citruses, combo of bergamot and mandarin orange. Then you have to own this! After the dry down, the scent continues to be fresh with a beautiful musk. Some people say there’s an inky smell, I don’t smell that, but if I had to guess it’s probably from the dominant green tea note. I think it’s a great spring and summer fragrance and only gets better the longer it’s on your skin. Performance for me is 7 plus hours which is above average for a fresh scent. The price is on the expensive side, but it’s quality juice! Highly recommend!

Creed Royal Oud is a luxurious and sophisticated fragrance that exudes elegance and refinement. The scent is inspired by the regal and exotic aromas of the Middle East, which is reflected in the warm and woody notes. The fragrance opens with top notes of lemon, pink pepper, and bergamot, which give it a fresh and zesty start. As it develops, it reveals heart notes of oud, cedarwood, and galbanum, which add depth and complexity to the scent. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, and vanilla complete the fragrance, giving it a subtle and sensual finish. One of the things I love about Creed Royal Oud is its versatility. It's perfect for formal occasions, as well as for casual daytime wear.

Overall, I would highly recommend Creed Royal Oud to anyone looking for a luxurious and sophisticated fragrance that captures the exotic aromas of the Middle East. Its unique combination of scents and versatility make it a must-try for any fragrance enthusiast, and it's a great addition to any collection. If you're looking for a timeless and refined fragrance that will make you feel like royalty, Creed Royal Oud is definitely worth trying.

Please ignore all of the reviews mentioning ‘Viking Cologne’ or any other mentions of a cologne. That is an entirely separate fragrance to Viking and is, in my estimation, a far worse one. Viking was hated upon its release because unlike Aventus in 2010, it didn’t revolutionise anything. It was safe, pleasant and entirely non offensive. Viking is my signature scent in the colder months, and is a go to fragrance when I need to project confidence and power. Monstrous projection, respectable performance and smells quite good. Not worth the price Creed is asking, but if you can find it on discount, it’s a great, spicy, barbershop scent. The old fashioned among you will immediately recognise a similarity to Old Spice, which is something I personally find very charming.

Not much new to add that hasn’t been stated already. I will say-this is SO much better than Aventus! Ok, perhaps only better to ME, but I’m the one wearing it so…At any rate, i really love this scent. It’s a truly wonderful blend where nothing in particular stands out, making it all blend together to form a fresh, masculine, “soft” scent! Only worn this during Spring/Summer, as it just does so well evoking that whole fresh meadow/grass/flowers blooming image. Projection and sillage is moderate so it won’t knock your co-workers over. Just gives them a hint of “wow, he smells nice.” A refined, sophisticated scent that’s easy to wear-me likey! Yes it’s a bit on the pricey side. Unlike the hypebeast Aventus though, I’d Spring for a full bottle of this! Your mileage may ... MoreNot much new to add that hasn’t been stated already.

Royal Water is delicious, fresh and clean with a somewhat soapy vibe. The basil and mint give it a medicinal, somewhat mysterious quality that makes it quite unusual. You won’t smell ordinary with this one. The citruses add a layer of freshness while the musk and ambergris create a soft smoothness to it all. The juniper definitely adds a gin scent making it smell like a very pricey cocktail at times. I fell in love with it upon first sniff. It's beautiful and definitely full bottle worthy. Not many comments about this but Royal Water is VERY soapy. It's one of the soapiest fragrances I ever smelled. But it's a goody soapy. Like vintage soapy. I love it.

My goodness. This scent is sheer masculinity in a bottle. Masculinity yet professional. This isn’t for everyone. This scent is rich, powerful, class in a bottle. Anyone who wears Green Irish Tweed has taste. By far the best from the house of Creed. Even Aventus can’t top GIT for me. Green Irish Tweed has been my signature scent and will continue to be being that it is an absolutely timeless scent. Above all, Creed fragrances all seem to lack in terms of longevity except this masterpiece. Fresh scent with notes of lemon verbena and iris. If you could smell the color green this is what it would smell like. Now is it worth the price tag? Absolutely. I cannot recommend this fragrance enough.

The scent of freshness, a freshly washed white shirt, clean bed linen, cold, white, frosty day air - some such associations. As a scent for every day - easily. For the office, for a business meeting under a white shirt. I can not distinguish individual notes in it, I can hear a little currant leaves only, otherwise there is something chemical, maybe some kind of medicine. Cons: there is something sweaty musky sour in it. Durability is weak, it happens that it flies after 2 hours. There is a trail, the fragrance disappears and appears again. At first incomprehensible, you don't feel notes similar to natural aromas, but when you get used to it, you begin to understand its coolness. I like it, I want to buy more. Freshness with currants Crystal, ringing. Very similar ... MoreThe scent of freshness, a freshly washed white shirt, clean bed linen, cold, white, frosty day air - some such associations.

Freshness with currants Crystal, ringing. Very similar in sound to the platinum Egoist in his best "early" years. Equally good on a man and on a woman. The aroma is quite strict, it adjusts to a working mood. Very beautiful - tea leaves, currants and citruses. And all this is framed by Creed's trademark sound of ambergris, which, although not declared here, but the brain really wants to add it here, tk. the aroma has a very characteristic bitterness and powder. A girl in urban worries, a successful, businesslike and certainly confident :)

A classic unisex crowd-pleaser from Creed

I picked up a new bottle to supplement my pre-2006 bottle that's running low. The new juice (my bottle is from batch M3521N01, so made in 2021) is markedly different from SMW I am used to - the new one is definitely softer, lighter on the Inky/black current note, but is also gorgeous in its own way. My old SMW smells like a nighttime version of the scent while the new one is a great day fragrance. The new one lasts most of the day but not as long as the old SMW which lingers a good few hours longer.I have quite a few Creeds and SMW is probably the most versatile of them - it's not challenging or fussy like some others, so whenever I am not sure what to wear, picking up SMW is a safe choice. It's probably best in warmer weather but can be enjoyed in the cold as ... MoreI picked up a new bottle to supplement my pre-2006 bottle that's running low.

No complaints here:)

A modern aromatic fougere

One of the better releases of the new Creed age, Viking Cologne is an aromatic fougere that works really well in warmer weather or climates.First of all, its name is a little misleading. It should be seen as a completely new scent; the association with the 2017 release "Viking" (also by Creed) is nothing more than a recycled name.Viking Cologne is a much fresher take on the the former. As the name suggests it's more of a 'cologne' scent. That implies freshness, citrus notes and with boat loads of lavender. However, instead of oakmoss, the dry down sports a frankincense accord. Whether or not note comes across as an authentic incense is up to the individual. To my nose, the composition starts off very aromatic and fresh, it moves to the base relatively quickly, ... MoreOne of the better releases of the new Creed age, Viking Cologne is an aromatic fougere that works really well in warmer weather or climates.First of all, its name is a little misleading.

To my nose, the composition starts off very aromatic and fresh, it moves to the base relatively quickly, but makes for a muted woody base, delicately spiked with some aromatic herbs. Fortunately, it does this with zero sweetness, which to me is a major advantage.Lovers of the more traditional fougeres, scents like Ralph Lauren's Safari for Men (1995) and Terre d'Hermes (2006) will fall over backwards for Viking Cologne. Conversely, those who liked the original Viking may be in for disappointment with Viking Cologne.

Fake Creed Green Irish Tweed

This item was a knock off. First is the sleeve in the box was the wrong color and slid out, Real Creed sleeves do not slide out. Second was the cap. It was of a cheaper quality and again had the wrong color on the inside. Third and most easily spotted was the production code on the bottom of the box. Real Creed has the code as part of the printing on the box, not a sticker like the one I received from this seller.The smell of this knock off was nothing like the real thing. Green Irish Tweed is a timeless classic. What I was sent smelled horrible. The only good thing was that it didn't last for more than a few minutes. I sent the product back and never received credit.Not a very reputable dealer. They know what they are doing.
