I just found out today that a few days ago my dad accidentally knocked the 4 oz. bottle of Green Irish Tweed that I got him for Father's Day off of his dresser. It fell onto the floor and shattered. It is now in the trash. I told him that a brand new bottle that size would cost about $220 at Neiman Marcus. He had no idea what it was worth.

I felt like crying when he told me.

I need a hug...

Similar situation happened to me, except it was mine. I was applying GIT to my neck and out of nowhere felt this liquid sensation on my hand. I look down and see the bottom corner of my 4oz bottle crack off, flipping it over mmediately. Thankfully I still have around half of the bottle still remaining! I hope this doesn't happen for all Creed bottles, as I have quite a few 4oz (and I keep good care of them, they are always in my dresser)

I knocked over a bottle of Avon's Wild Country once -- on purpose.
I think the bottle was shaped like Abe Lincoln's head. (I kid you not.)

The irony: It STILL didn't break!
Damn -- no rest for the wicked, I guess.

When I moved a few years ago the only frag casualty I had was my 4oz bottle of GIT. The smallest chip cracked off the bottom corner and was enough to cause everything to drain out. It was almost full too. The box did smell great.
Odd it seems to be the same fate as your bottle......

For seemingly no reason at all my bottle of Creed SMW leaked out into my toiletries bag on a flight. The cap was on, everything seemed to be fine... it just leaked... this happened with A*Men too. I can't figure it out but it makes me worry a little about taking my favorite fragrances with me.

Dude, you've got to install carpet. Hardwood floors and 50 bottles of fragrance on my dresser don't make a good combination.

While moving into a room in the dorms for college, my friend threw one of my bags on the floor, which contained Gucci PH.

Luckily the huge bottle cracked and chipped, but nothing leaked.

This could only happen with Gucci ph's bottle though...

I NEVER travel with any of my 'real' bottles, only tiny decants.

You are wise. No crying or group hugs needed

I received SMW in a swap. The SMW was supposed to be a 75% full 4.2oz. Upon arrival, I noticed a good amount of it had leaked out during the shipping. I was left with only 40% of the bottle. If Creed colognes are so expensive, the least they can do is design their bottles without leaking issues. The trader had to send me extra cologne for the trouble.
