Gaultier² by Jean Paul Gaultier

Nice - and certainly different (as most JPG's are) but not as different or unique as le Male in my opinion.

Stupidly over the top, ostentatious bottle though!

Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss

I've tried a few Boss frags over the years, but this is without doubt the classiest I've tried.

Sweet and very natural smelling. Quite a trad frag, but smells very special.

Without wishing to sound snobbish, if you own a Boss suit, then you should wear this. If you own Boss jeans and trainers, try Hugo or Motion. One for the classy business function in my view.

Erolfa by Creed

Not one for me this. Definitely a fresh daytime scent, and not one for a night out in my view.

Just comes across to me as a little too harsh, almost synthetic, and dries to leave an odour I can't really put my finger on, but that I really don't like (nor does my wife!)

Fresh daytime scent for me? ZMP or possibly SMW.

Millésime Impérial by Creed

The second Creed I ever tried / purchased. Absolutely loved it when I got it, but perhaps wore it too much.

I'm now finding that it is smelling a little too dull for me, and dare I say it, a little sickly.

Shame really, as I used to rate this highly.

Green Irish Tweed by Creed

Without wishing to be a sheep, I must agree with many that this is the absolute best Creed in my view.

Absolutely brilliant classy fragrance - one that definitely gets people asking questions. When I try to explain to people what sets Creed apart from many mass market frags, I try to explain how clean, fresh and REAL they smell. Nothing shows that off better than GIT in my view. People will say "oh that smells a bit like...." but will always comment on how, well, expensive it smells!

Lasts well on me - damn, I go through this far to quickly. Love wearing this on a night out.

Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse by Creed

I like this one an awful lot. Extremely fresh, fruity and bright. on first application, it really does smell like I've spilled the fruit juice! Dries to a wondeful rounded fresh scent.

Definitely one for wearing in the daytime, in the summer. Couldn't see myself wearing this for a night out.

Downside - just doesn't last on me at all.

Royal Delight by Creed

I think this is an absolute cracker.

Bought a bottle of this for myself( male), although a little concerned by some earlier comments on the more feminine nature of it!

Quite true, on first application, I certainly spent the morning wondering whether this was actually too feminine. To be honest though, it does dry down into a much more masculine smell on me - certainly different, very classy. This one has had more positive comments than any other Creed I've tried. Lasts forever on me too.

The downside? Smells fantastic on my wife, and dries to a much more feminnine fragrance on her. Need a bigger bottle!
