Thread: What is your fragrance of the day?

Ogallal Bay Rum cologne.

From today's SOTD entry -- TGQ Cavendish Black

Creed Aventus

For all you creed guys, where do you buy it?

Nieman's is my only local retailer, and they sell it for full price.
I've bought from Amazon once, but that vendor doesn't seem to be around any more...not sure I trust any other online source.

I'm almost out of Vetiver and my Tabarome has been empty for almost a year.

I've bought my Creed bottles from their counter at Saks across the Rockefeller Center, it is expensive, but in the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal. I don't expect to ever have to replace them since they are so refined I seldom use them anyways.
Creed has had some quality control issues in the past, so different batches don't smell the same - another benefit of buying in person. I still do it over two visits - first I spray it and leave it to develop on my skin over the next hours, and keep smelling and pondering it for the next day or two from the residue on my clothes. When I go to buy it I open it in the store and spray it on me to make sure it's the same as the tester that I'm basing of my purchase.

I also got few Creed decants (5-25ml) from a guy on the forums few years back - those are from the private collection series that sells in big jugs and costs a lot of money regardless of how you package it.


Today I'm back to jean-claude ellena with jardin sur le toit - apples and pears fit very well with the fall weather.

Thanks for the feedback.
I've actually been victim of the creed qc issue with my last bottle of tabarome.
Color and smell was off. NM replaced it for me.
