"The Sterillium among the Wooden Scents" or "Grandma Hildegard's Twilight of the Gods"
So the S&W is the first of the "Royale Exculsives" in my collection and the expectations were accordingly high.
WHAT THE Smell IS NOT
The name Spice and Wood is somewhat deceptive and misleading here. If you think that you will end up olfactorically at Spice Mustafa on the big souk in Baghdad and be attacked by an overdose of oud, saffron and sandalwood, ... you are completely wrong. And that is also somehow logical. We're talking about Creed here, not Amouage or Roja Dove. So the scent has the typical fresh Creed signature. But more about that later.
WHAT THE SCOFF OF THE Scent
The scent has been carried past spices at most. It has a spicy touch in every case. Especially after some time on the skin, the perfume is like a homeopathically diluted Terre d'Hermes. All in all, the fragrance is probably the most sterile and cleanest wood you can buy. In fact, it reminds me to a large extent of the smell of Iso-E-Super. For this you can probably thank birch, musk and cedar. I can hardly perceive the fruity nuances. The apple brings, if at all, a very slight tart and fruity freshness.
The DURABILITY is not the supreme insanity typical of Creed. But it should just about do for five hours of Götterdämmerung at the opera. He will probably be able to stand up to Grandma Hildegard, who is completely diesel-powered with Tosca or 4711 and has already dozed off on the seat next to you during the audition.
One cannot really speak of SILLAGE. To get back to the opera: if you have parquet tickets first row, it is very unlikely that you will be expelled from the hall because musicians in the orchestra have fainted because of the perfume and the tuba player's instrument has fallen out of his hand.
HOW TO INSERT THE FRUIT INTO THE CREED RANGE
Well, the scent definitely bears Creed's signature. A rather fresh woody British men's scent with a hint of spice. The Creed range, however, has other candidates that "Spice and Wood" would fit better. For example Royal Oud or Original Santal.
At least S&W doesn't have a trace of sweetness. Because especially in connection with sweet scents Creed sometimes seems a bit clumsy (Erolfa, SMW, Aventus Cologne).
CONCLUSION
S&W is a wooden freshly made product that is reasonably decent in terms of craftsmanship. I for one will use up the small amount I have. But my favourite of Creed, Royal Oud, probably won't knock it off the throne
