“This cologne is definitely worth the hype. I have Aventus and after smelling this one I didn’t see the similarities but after about 30 minutes the dry down kicks in and that’s when this cologne becomes a rockstar. This thing projects and lasts just as good as Aventus, which is saying a lot. The harsh opening on this is unlike Aventus but the dry down is extremely similar and smells very good, 1st day got two compliments.”
“This is as straight up as I can be. Honestly I’ve never smelled the original Creed. That being said my colognes are usually in the $100 range, the clone smells name brand and it lasts about 6 hours. It’s part of my regular collection. I would buy it again. I saw some reviews talk about batch numbers... I didn’t follow that just did a blind purchase. Here is the number that came with mine just in case someone is keep track.”
