Re: Antaeus or Korous or Yatagan or M7 ??

M7 !
I also get a cotton-candy (very late / long) drydown, but the top and middle notes are utterly orchestral. So its worth it. It's a night time scent for me anyhow, so i dont mind if its gone a...

Question Cool Water - 'strong' - or not!?

Re: Original Cool Water - Not the same!

I have never bought CW but somehow I have two testers that I happened to come by over time - one quite recent.
I guess as they are both testers, they wouldnt be fake - one is quite small - hardly...

Re: Honored fragrances you're just not impressed with...

Antaeus.

Re: Which Creed fragrance do you like best?

BdP, by miles - i dont mind the 'retro' facet, I like it more because of it.
