    Himalaya by Creed

    Great, fresh, rich, not too sweet. Easy to wear any time. But after about one hour there's not much left.

    "Vintage" Tabaróme by Creed

    I had to laugh when I read a review in which someone complained that it only lasted a few hours. I put a couple of tiny drops on the back of my hand at 9 in the morning, it's now 7:00 p.m., I've washed my hands twice, and I still can't get rid of it. I find it nauseatingly and headache-provoking intense. Musty. I agree with the references to "old money," -- literally -- like money that's been in a wet basement for a couple of years. For a rich, earthy selection from Creed I much prefer Royal English Leather. Much more subtle. The sort of stuff you want to smell to try to figure out. There's nothing to figure out with Taborome. You can't escape it. No way I'd subject others to this in a closed room.

    Sélection Verte by Creed

    Clean, fresh, but I find the mint too dominating and medicinal. For something citrus and fresh a little herbal, I much prefer Millésime Impérial; more subtle, interesting, layered.

    Royal English Leather by Creed

    Rich, deep, but not too intense. Nothing sweet or cloying (see, e.g., Vintage Taborome). Subtle, complex; the sort of thing you want to keep smelling to try to figure out. My only gripe is that I'm left with a powdery edge to it after a couple of hours. By the way, a great way to compare a number of Creeds is to get a selection of sample sizes on Ebay from seller "786hoodas". Very inexpensive.
