Feeling like Thor
From the moment I smelled it my first thought was: a white muscled man with a big beard and a axe like Thor who just came out the shower and sprayed him with spicey and cool oils.
When you have this picture you will understand that this is a alpha perfume! Think that creed made a excellent job here to give us that alpha man vibe and going trough the day like a boss. I think this perfume suits best in office for a real boss. A boss who knows that he is great, creative and confident about himself.. it’s not the confident that you feel better than others, but that kinda of smell that you can give the others the best of yourself.. a true leader a real inspirator and motivator he is! This my fellow alphas is “THE” scent for us. Showing our abilities, expanding our intelligence to become te best version of ourself that is Creed viking!
Let’s talk about the scent now.. it’s starts spicey and very very fresh some kind of minty and almost metallic. It makes you directly awake. After the top the rose gets dominant but the rose here is so nice blended that it smells like a flowery spice covered with the bitterness of the lavender! OMG the lavender balanced the mint and rose in the mid so you don’t get that rush constantly as in the beginning. Drydown is awesome.. sweet spicey and a bit rose. Pink pepper is very dominant here and the flowery base is coming up at times..
Negativity about it: LongFgevity. 1 spray can only detect on my skin for maybe 1.5 hour and projection is also very poor. This works for me only if I spray 10 times on my body and after an hour 2 times on my hand and after an hour again 2 times on my hand. Than the longevity becomes around 8 hours and the sillage 2/3 hours strong!
So before going out spray 3/4 times on your chest and after that before going in the office 2 times on your wrist and few times in the air and walk trough it or on your clothes if these don’t get damaged.
Viking a disappointment as most fans say?? Hell is wrong with you? This is a masterpiece it’s an art even smelling it hours and hours is an activity and joy for life! Try this trough the whole year and it works. Summer it’s still ok but don’t use to much as the spices can choke you

Not as it was..
Green Irish tweed.. in my opinion the most satisfying scent of the house Creed. It is very green, fresh but also spicey.. it makes you smell this the whole day.. it takes you everywhere you want.. a forest a bazaar or the green Irish fields. But let’s talk about the scent and the comparing with the old batches ( I owned a 2016 batch).
It starts pretty prominent.. strong citrus, fresh and cooling and within a few seconds you can literally feel the forest.. imagining that you are walking alone trough a big closed green forest, sunshine could not enter this forest so imagine how the lightening is there.. suddenly it starts to rain and you smell the fresh trees and the flowers on the ground.. ahh can’t get enough from that forestry flowery smell! But then somehow you are transported to a bazaar full of spices but at the same time it’s still raining and the bazaar is not in a city but in a forest.. is that even possible? A bazaar in a green rainy forest.. mmmm smells nice tough!
Quality of this scent.. well it’s natural blended for most of the part so I don’t blame Creed that it’s bit different every year. Think the covid had a bad impact on all creeds last years. To much consumers but less productivity I guess. Shame that the price has been increased since then. The main difference I notice with the older batches is: That flowery and spicey smell is very very soft now and does not project at all. With the older one when I sprayed 2 times on my left hand I could smell this at least 6 hours without putting my head in to my hand.. so the projection on this is extremely weak related to a batch in 2016. The longevity is still pretty ok 4 hours on skin that’s pretty ok for a creed these times. On clothes you can smell it the day after specially with trousers. So just wear nice casual trousers and spray a max of 3/4 on that trousers and you will be fine for the whole day. But I miss that intense flower spicey note in the new batches so if you really liked it to.. just wait for the next year who knows maybe one day they will get better!
Note: not sure if creed did a reformulation on this one.. they say that they did not but again noses are subjective could thwt it has to macerate.. but I don’t remember that the old one had to do that.. it was directly BAM!

Armani code soft editioni
First time i saw this scent on YouTube I was hyped but now I know better every hyped scent is actually a common scent like this one.
I bought it online and i was extremely excited I was reading the reviews again and again and I was amaginijg the scent.. a spicey woody sweet scent. I could never think about anything common since everyone found this to be very special..
Received the nice package as always with Xerjoff and there it was my Alexandria ii my love.. or not? Sprayed it one time since everybody was saying it will choke you. First smell was a extremely alcoholic medicinal blast( assume lavender) which is more spicey and flowery but okay. Few minutes later a syrupy creamy woody scent where you definitely can tell this oud is no joke but a really qualitative one, it might be even that they are using real oud over here. So after the scent was set up on my skin about 2 minutes I could not detect it anymore. I’m a good sniffer and know what noseblind is.. this was not the case because you could still smell it on your skin. So did my wife also said she could not smell me unless she was in my hand. Here is the disappointment but rather than the Sillage it was the scent himself after 30 minutes!
Soft edition a very very soft edition of Armani code which I hated when I was young since every young man was wearing this and I was littererly choked by it on those days. The disappointment was so extremely that I wanted to throw it away but my 500€ was to precious for me. I’m selling it now so hope it will be gone as soon as possible. Wondering why no one mentioned anywhere about the similarities with code it’s exact a copy but except the softer woodies. It’s just the perfect blenden Armani code.. so let’s call it Armani code perfection.
Update: macerated a while and tested again outside, in my nice suit with a very cold winter day. O my gosh! I was so happy! It was not Armani code anymore.. it is similar vibe to.. but mannn it smells so classy, even a woman can pull this off. It’s just elegance in a bottle. But be careful it stays weeks on clothes, my whole closet room smells to it after 2 weeks even. It fills rooms without any excuse en stays forever on the skin and clothes and also the room. I came home 10 hours later and my whole room where I sprayed myself with 4 sprays.. was still smelling strong to this! Amazing can’t say anything else
Longevity is fine 8 hours. 1 month on clothes
Sillage few weeks on clothes. 16 hours on skin
Scent : designer scent not special or extraordinary. Yes it is perfectly blended yes the oud is amazing, but it’s just Armani code vogues. Don’t waste your money on this one there are better Xerjoff which smell better..
