allow me me to pile on. Ted's willingness to drop over two yards on a bottle and the fact that it has some notes (especially the elusive coconut) that have me interested and caused me to buy a decant from ebay of it (at the last second). I've constantly bemoaned the lack of anything interesting coming from modern Creed's. I do like, own and regularly wear about 3 of them, but they're not what I'm wearing when I'm looking to rekindle the love I have of scents. They're scents I wear when I want to smell good and not offend anyone. That might have changed now with this one. This is quite an interesting one. Much like the wretched Original Santal (which is one so strong that one spray caused my grandmother with a bad sense of smell tell me I was wearing too much cologne and that it was awful) it's very potent. In this case however it's a good thing. That's where the comparisons end though. It has a base that kind of reminds me a bit of Bleecher Street from Bond (ha! Creed ripping off a Bond....define irony). Again I'm not the best at identifying notes, but there are two that stand out. First is the absolutely brilliant use of coconut. I didn't think it was possible, but they found a way to make coconut a dominant note and somehow make it something a man could pull off without a second thought. Hats off gents, that's not easy to do. I love the slow warm coconut note that doesn't vary much. It's always there, always constant and always wonderful. It also doesn't come off as suntan lotiony as well (again no small feat) and the coconut simply provides a quiet theme which makes this a joy to wear. The lack of suntan lotion similarities though has a lot to do with the second dominant note. For those of you who are familiar with what Laporte and MPG does with Vetiver, Creed here does it with lime. It's an absolutely overwhelming blast of lime. You load a few bottles of this one on a ship and you could keep an 18th century pirate vessel scurvy free for a good 4 years at sea. It's got lime that on my skin hits you like a sledgehammer (not something you say everyday) and doesn't stop. In the middle it almost becomes overwhelming. It was getting to the point where if I wanted to douse myseelf with tequila and roll around in salt. However the note subsided in the dry down (about 4 or 5 hours in....this scent is STRONG). I don't know how I feel about it, and I have a feeling that much like SMW this one could behave differently in different weather. I'm looking forward to wearing this one in warm weather and seeing what goes down. For now though here's the bottom line: this is the most interesting thing they've done in recent memory and is something that is worth a try to a lot of people looking for that elusive coconut note that isn't combined with fig. Cool scent and something that has me wanting to try it again
