Fleurs de Bulgarie (original) (1845)
by Creed

Of the three Creeds that I've tried, this is the only one that had some guts to it. I liked the spice mix into the rose florals, which made it way more interesting than the tea rose scent, which seemed realistic but rather watery to me. I have to say, though, that it reminds me a lot of a fainter-smelling Jicky, without the cloying sweetness of Jicky's dry down. It lingers very nicely, too.
