When you have found its scent
The bitter tangerine...
Loving, cheerful, entertaining
and sad at the same time, melancholic
the blue-green sea...
Trust and hope and infinite time,
Backgrounds that nobody can see through
and
the transience of beauty
The crashing surf ...
breaks through the rock and washes it out in copper colors
Smoke on the water...
White signal steam, campfire illuminates the gout on the beach while the last rays of sunshine on the bush let the young tangerines ripen

"Everytime I hug a girl...
... I get a compliment"

Short disclaimer, if you want to go directly to the fragrance description, please scroll down a bit:

In everything you read and see, you should always remember that perfumes, like all other things, are a matter of taste.
Just because person x gives his mustard,
no matter how prestigious it is or how many thumbs up, cups, criticism or (not)helpful- ratings
there is for that mustard,
you should always take matters into your own hands.
You can read knowledge and experience, but then:

Even in the field, on your own skin, test with your own nose, ask yourself the question "Does the fragrance suit me or what I want to embody" and then form your own opinion from the overall picture that emerges.

Not just buy, because it was on the Internet that one person and his 79 Likes find this scent cool.
For example, I found a lot of what Jeremy recommended fantastic, some irrelevant and some horrible
In the end, I resold a lot of things I ordered semi-blind.
Beware of blind purchases.



But now to the fragrance.

With the title Jeremy is right, at least in his and my life-world.

Prive begins with sweet cardamom, which is intercepted by tart grapefruit.
No cotton candy; the tart sweetness gets a seductive, wicked touch through whiskey and (weak) leather in the heart, which immediately reminds of bar evenings in the Irish Pub. But the cardamom remains present and for about 2 hours an absolutely attractive scent hangs in the close air of the wearer, which, applied to the neck, brings a compliment with almost every hug.*
In the drydown, woods and tonka bean join in to provide a smooth finish.

But the strength of the fragrance is in any case in the head and heart.

On long evenings or for dancing, the fragrance may have to be sprayed on, but after a maximum of 4 hours it can only be perceived up close. The Sillage decreases rapidly after the first two hours.


*Of course it depends on the setting in which the fragrance is worn!
Atmosphere:
It smells of sweet alcohol, tobacco smoke, leather jackets and stupid decisions. Irish pub, pub crawl or clubbing.
Privé is a pure fragrance and comes through the sweetness much better at colder temperatures 15C->. In midsummer I would take something else.
It's also good for a date, although I personally would take something less sweet, because whiskey and cardamom in combination are already quite a good way to go, making for a very attractive but also challenging combination. As I said before, I prefer it when celebrating.

One final little comparison:
Privé often has to compete in lists with the "Best Date - Fragrances". The One and LNDLH should also be mentioned here.
While The One is too sweet, I find it almost infantile, LNDLH is too powdery/heavy for me.
Privé beats the press out of both and is, because it is almost only available on the Internet, also something that you will not smell as often - anyway not because the Sillage is not room filling.

Absolute test recommendation! Tip: Give the fragrance some time and wear it a few times before you judge. I have also bellied several times until I have learned to love it.
Looking forward to the exchange, good time, cya

The perfume, which is worth every cent
Mandarino di Amalfi smells rather monothematically... Tangerine.
Sounds boring? No.

It is not a 08-15 duty-free synthetic-generic summer scented head note mandarin, but rather a freshly picked mandarin from the sunny grove, ripe to eat but not overripe, juicy.

The tangerine is joined by slightly green notes, flowers and light woods, which wonderfully carry the tangerine head in the heart and base and give a pleasant, but unfortunately after a maximum of 4 hours only very closely perceptible, well-protected veil of fragrance.

The perfume is expensive and the shelf life is mediocre, 1.5h sillage, then decreasing, but the fragrance simply smells extremely high-quality, flawless, and is a crowdpleaser par excellence.
He has many friends here, but because of the price it is a fragrance that you will rarely smell outside our community. He is also super unique and stays absolutely in the memory - a great signature candidate.

Although primarily a summer scent, it evokes many, many compliments all year round.
And its freshness and high quality make it both casual and for going out and for special occasions an absolutely great choice that will make you stand out and be remembered.


All this justifies the price in my eyes. It's the most expensive perfume I own. It's also the best perfume I own

Sprayed on, the fragrance immediately puts you in a good mood. It is almost as if it creates a "positive aura" around the wearer, which casts a spell on everyone around him.
The fragrance is very light in character and will suit almost every man and woman. It is attractive to the opposite sex and is not "ONLY fresh"
Testing at the souk! It's worth it sooo much :)

Let top note go and wear Aventus
You are interested in this fragrance because you want to have Aventus but you don't realize that you have to pay 300€ for a perfume that has become more and more diluted in recent years and that doesn't last as long as it did a few years ago.
Erwin Creed himself said analogously on a perfume fair this year that it was no problem for him that the new batches are reformulated because the people buy Aventus for 300€.
Capitalism in its purest form.

Yes, Creeds raw materials are of higher quality and yes, especially the top note of Aventus IS much better than that of the Armaf, but when this is gone, you get with the Armaf a 98% Aventus copy, which almost nobody can tell apart - unless you have on your left hand Aventus and on your right Armaf and show it to a perfume lover.

I myself got a bottle of real Creed from a good friend for my birthday and did the field test.

Creed:
+Top note (1h)
+ higher quality ingredients (ONLY TO DIFFERENCE FOR KENNER, I have also been asked by Aventus owners that I wear Aventus when I have Armaf on it)
-Price 300€
-diluted batches

Armaf:
+ better durability
+ better Sillage
+ Price about 30€ (One tenth of Creed)
+ for non-professional noses not to distinguish


Conclusion:
Buy the fragrance and mix 80% Armaf with 20% Reyane Tradition Insurrection Pure II in one bottle
This will give you a 99% copy because the Reyane brings the pineapple into the game that the Armaf lacks in the top note.

My entire circle of acquaintances found the mixture better than the original Creed.
