Creed Water Does Not Support Floral Life
Creed 2000 FLEURS took me a bit by surprise. I must have been expecting an über-floral bouquet--something along the lines of Estée Lauder BEAUTIFUL. Instead what I found was a sort of apocalyptic Y2K-inspired creation which features the famous/notorious Creed water--clearly an acquired taste--poured into a vase filled with flowers, above all, magnolia, but narcissus and jasmine manage to cut through the C2O as well.
To my nose, it's a somewhat inharmonious mix: the metrosexual-silver water doesn't seem to help the flowers a bit. Perhaps if the water were diluted--as odd as that may sound! Or maybe this Creedessence just works better in less floral compositions.
I'm now wondering whether 2000 FLEURS might have been the inspiration behind Lanvin RUMEUR--not because they rhyme, but because each opens with a blast of chemical solvent and prominently features magnolia. C'est possible... In any case, a bottle of RUMEUR--even a mini--could easily satisfy all of my chemical solvent-saturated magnolia needs for the foreseeable future, or at least until the apocalypse.
