Many Sensitive Fingers
“Creature” - I admit that I was intrigued by the name of the perfume; the underlying message, that we create ourselves and decide our identity, I find comforting and encouraging.

Creature comes across on me as a spicy-woody scent with a lot of citrus and a modern-resinous incense in the opening, it has almost no sweetness, but radiates a lot of sensitivity.
Through the elegant blending of the notes and the overall well-tempered nature, the perfume feels delicate and androgynous. The Creature is balanced, you don’t have to fear any single note (like I sometimes do with incense), but you should like the general direction of the spice drawer.

Creature starts off deliciously citrusy with a good splash of zesty acidity and immediately engages me with resinous and woody notes. Very pretty! Right after that, I get a kind of tea vibe, most reminiscent of rooibos, without the scent actually smelling like tea. I suspect this association comes from the combination of tobacco-fig-cardamom. Soon, the spicy-aromatic heart of the Creature reveals itself. In the base, there’s a bit more fig, the orange blossom, and a general hyggelige pleasantness with the usual suspects.
What I find most characteristic about the scent is its balance and that the notes hold back next to each other, no one plays the leading role or gets loud. This is, also as a social utopia on the side, very harmonious and pleasant.
The scent brings diversity with it, various aspects can be sniffed out again and again. Thus, it lives up to its dedication and is very successful in this regard.

Spices are not my thing, so I find it hard to name references here. Etra is the only one that comes to mind, but don’t hold me to that. Creature also has a much more modern appeal.

I wanted to test the scent mainly for its woody aspects, but they are not dominant enough for me here. For me, it is primarily a spicy scent. Nice and beautiful, but not for me; it’s not my type.
On the other hand, I can well imagine the scent on a calm and rather introverted person, for a visit to a bookstore or antique shop, for thoughtful moments at home. Creature is as unisex as can be, and I see it in spring or autumn.

The postulated all-encompassing tenderness (“a tender homage to all living beings” and such marketing texts) I do not perceive here, or at most very intellectually. The scent lacks pathos. It’s more like the friendly affection during a visit. You stand together in the kitchen, having decided on tea after the lovely offer “Would you like something to drink?”, standing together in front of the open hanging cupboard and being presented with the entire assortment of boxes to choose from. Then Carole King is put on the turntable, the vinyl crackles, and you sit together at the kitchen table with the large wooden board (untreated), and if you leave wet rings on it with your cup, that’s not a problem at all.

Citrusy shape
With fig content
Goes creaky
On thin sandal stilts
That shine yellow like ginger
Until they dull
And plop to the ground

Unripe, citrus-treated fig on a dry, gnarly cedar-sandal mix. Nothing more happens for my nose after that. Acceptable.

Strange and quite monotonous interplay between a bright fig, several bergamots, and wood. Not made by God....

This creation radiates pleasant calm. Spicy citrus, bright wood, creamy, slightly resinous.

The shy fig is initially overshadowed by a dominant citrus note, then some rough woods join in. Quite unbalanced..

A dark and mysterious spice-fig scent like Crystal Noir.
Vanilla brings brightness.
This scent would be worn by Maleficent!

The not-worth-mentioning fig is cowardly and hides behind the citrus fruits. The vanilla at the end wasn't necessary...

Citrusy-spicy sandalwood, the rest plays supporting roles. Not extravagant but calm, and despite the citrus freshness, it's unexcited.

Smells to me like a mix of glue and concrete. Can't recognize any of the listed notes.

Great notes that are recognizable. However, they somehow feel unbalanced together. What a pity.
