Spice, Wood, Lemon, Overpriced...
Spice and Wood opens with an alcoholic gin-like blast before quickly adding a slightly tart apple and natural lemon tandem. As the fragrance enters the early heart the apple is just detectable as the stronger lemon remains, now joining peppery angelica and deep slightly sweet clove in support of an emerging cedar and birch starring tandem. As the fragrance enters the late dry-down the lemon finally is replaced by relatively clean musk that now joins the still dominant remaining cedar from the base as the fragrance's linear development finally comes to a conclusion. Projection is average and longevity above average at 8-10 hours on skin.

There is plenty of fine smelling cedar to be had, and the clove spice adds some depth with the angelica imitating pepper quite well but the real pleasant surprise is the natural smelling supporting lemon that hangs around well into the heart accord. The lemon is the only thing that distinguishes the composition from being just another woody composition that has been done about as well a hundred times over. That said, the whole composition just screams "me too," just done with better materials than most others in the genre. The bottom line is Spice and Wood certainly delivers on the promised notes and does smell relatively good, but one can't help being more than a bit disappointed in its mundane results, earning a "good" rating of 3 stars out of 5 for the fragrance, but a strong avoid at its ridiculously lofty $225 per 30ml bottle price tag.

Le parfum ultime
J ai découvert ce parfum en 2019 a printemps paris boulevard haussman.

Après avoir senti une cinquantaine de parfum de niche ,j arrive au stand creed.l embarras du choix des dizaines de fragrances ,je décide d opter pour tester un royal exclusif.

La révélation je le met sur mon pull ,c est le parfum ultime ,il peu se porter quasiment partout a tout moment de l année ,une odeur exquise de propre de noblesse singulière qui se démarque des autres ,le seul parfum qui m a mis la larme a l oeil alors que jen ai testé entre 500 et 1000.

Un parfum digne de la famille royale d angleterre,qui vous fait vous sentir meilleur a chaque seconde où vous le portez.

Congratulation creed pour cette masterpiece.

True King of Creed
Creed among Creeds. King among Kings. This is not the scent worn by millionaires... It's the scent worn by people who pay millionaires' salaries. Someday, when life dictates, it will undoubtedly be my wedding scent. It doesn't shout. It doesn't try to prove anything... Usually, people who have truly achieved something in life don't need to. It's not a Ferrari; it's a Rolls-Royce. Not Gucci or Armani, but a masterfully crafted tuxedo. The only 'Royal Exclusive' that convinces me it could truly be worn by a royal family.

We should start with the fact that it doesn't smell old-fashioned at all. The scent is refreshing, vivid golden sun rays. (By the way, the bottle is covered in real gold, although compared to the price of the fragrance, the gold is probably the cheapest part ). The main notes to my nose are apple, birch, pepper, angelica, cedar, and musk. But the notes in this fragrance tell very little. What do I mean? The scent is so well blended that no note stands out. No note overwhelms another. The fragrance smells so natural that you could think there are no synthetic ingredients (of course, there are). When sampling certain popular fragrances like Initio, my brain often shouts, "there are no such scent in nature." Even if you like the scent, you are constantly haunted by the feeling that nothing in nature smells like this. With Spice and Wood, it's different. The first time I smelled this fragrance, I was transported back to my childhood. That feeling when you discover a new flower in a meadow. A new scent you have never smelled before, a new sensation for the brain. The magic with spice and wood is that it smells like something organic, something from nature. That's what fascinated me the most about this fragrance... You don't feel perfumed... You feel one with the scent...

I absolutely could and would like to smell this way for the rest of my life, day in and day out. Those of you who have a vast collection will understand what a great compliment to a fragrance that is. Seasons: spring, summer, autumn."

I feel that this is very similar to Frenchlover in lighter version.
Frenchlover is more sophisticated and outstanding piece.For Spice and wood, I can not comment the same.

Creed - Spice & Wood
This fragrance is great. You get the same smoky birch as in Aventus, Green crisp apple, citrus, cloves and pepper. The apple in this one made me fall for it. It is summer in a bottle yet Spicy enough to cut through evenings and colder weather. This fragrance comes with a confident vibe and makes me as a wearer feel very safe and calm. If i would smell this of someone else i met, i would assume the person was a guy who knows whats up and that is at a good place in life. Stunning, and smells expensive.

Fresh fruity/citrusy opening. The drydown is green, spicy with pepper, clove, pimento. The base is very woody with cedar, slightly smooky.

One of Creed’s best smelling fragrances, also their worst performing. Literally 0 sillage with MAYBE 1-2 hours of longevity.

A slightly spicy/green, yet fresh and clean dry-woody Spring fragrance, balanced by a juicy fruity/citric opening. Very classy!

Amazing scent, classy, subtle, and elegant. I see no comparision to Musc Ravageur and Terre d'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver as many do.

Not what I was expecting, not much wood and the spice was cooler on skin. Left a subtle birch/green impression with a little peppercorn.

the scent not amazing and very faint, my nose can hardly register it and longevity is lackluster. Not worth half the price tag

Smells exactly as the name suggests—woods, spices, and citruses. A great, mature, manly scent.
