Eladaria Creed 2025

This fragrance is undeniably gorgeous. It has a lot of my faves: musk, peony, cashmere, vanilla + my poisonous eternal, the flor of my birth

So ya, I like it. I like the initial spray and then the dry down but in between, there is a weird moment where the scents get confused on my skin and I can’t tell what I’m smelling — I don’t love it.

I think given the price point of $300 and the fact that I do have a lot of perfumes that already have these notes like peony, I don’t know if I would need a bottle of this.

I am wearing and testing this right now, but I am a little ... underwhelmed? On my skin it opens nicely with a splash of juicy fruityness/citrus plus a kick of pepper, but it dries down very very quickly to a generic rose/vanilla scent that I have smelled many times before.

This feels as nothing new under the sun. It also seems to fade quite quickly (after 3 hours there's not much left but a sweet skin scent). It is a very pretty bottle.

This perfume is as simple and as ordinary as my review is. As many have mentioned, this is a very pretty scent with a gorgeous bottle, but it doesn’t blow me away and definitely does not warrant its price tag.

There is a touch of citrusy freshness upon opening, but in general, it remains pretty linear. To me, it smells like a young rose that has been dusted with vanilla powder. There is a fluffy sweet muskiness that keeps the perfume from being just straight up rose. It is lightly elegant and unassuming.

I open my mailbox and see a small package from Creed.. at first very critical, not knowing what to expect… however, I open the package and see a tester.. full of anticipation, I apply it and let it unfold on me…
ELADARIA….

A name so beautiful that I would give it to my daughter if I were to become pregnant one day.. a delicate, elegant scent that smells of hope.

I see myself in a rose garden, an invitation to a summer celebration. I wear my dress in a shimmering pink tone, my hair blowing in the wind, I wrap my fine cashmere scarf around my hair, put on my sunglasses, and enjoy the fresh scent of the flowers from the garden… in front of me lies a piece of mandarin cake.. so juicy and delicious… my thoughts are with my daughter whom I see playing in my garden one day… this scent gives me pure warmth & love for the summer.. I will place it very high on my list. Something very pronounced and special that I haven’t smelled like this in a long time. Thank you to the house of Creed.

Friday morning.
Bus stop.
I'm just thinking about the things to come when I'm pulled from my thoughts by the sweetest rose scent.
Like in a dream sequence, reality fades away.
I try to hold onto the scent in my consciousness, I want to prevent any habituation, this composition is simply divine.
I look around. A young woman is sitting three meters away from me. I have to know.
I politely excuse myself and explain to her how absolutely enchanting the scent is, asking if she would tell me what it is.
She doesn't know, it was a sample.
For a few milliseconds, I'm disappointed and thank her.
She asks me to wait, rummages in her bag, triumphantly holds up the small spray bottle so I can read the label.

Creed: Eladaria.

I'm in love.
