Pros & Cons
- ✅ To me this smells strikingly similar to L'ombre dans l'eau EDP, but a bit lighter and much less peppery. I can definitely detect black currant in this fragrance, or some accord that approximates it, although it isn't listed. This has good performance for a Creed. I would describe it as sweet, fruity, fresh, with a bit of pink pepper. It's like Creed's version of Miss Dior, with toned down citrus and a kick of dark berries.
- ❌ After all these years trying to get a sample from a rep of Creed and being told that they had this product in another county 270 miles away and that I would have to purchase a bottle for appx $900. I gave up on this brand in the retail world.
- ❌ No way is it worth the prices Creed charges in the states.
