Testing out a sample I received last weekend. This Parfum is a new release. It's a flanker to Coach Platinum as a bolder modern take. It opens with lavender, mandarin orange, and apple. The heart adds warmth with rum absolute, orange blossom, and moss. The dry-down includes ambroxan and cedarwood, giving it a creamy, slightly powdery and metallic profile thats not overly sweet or gourmand. It’s fresh, aromatic, and smooth. Versatile for everyday/casual wear, date-night or office safe. Longevity was around 8 hours. As a parfum, it performs decently but isn't room filling. Projection/sillage is average and not overpowering, which would make it good for daily use across seasons. It smells very similar to Ralphs Club New York. It's not unique but very wearable and mass appealing. It’s one of Coach's better releases and could be a must own down the line when it reaches discounters. Already owning RC NY, this would be redundant for me. If I didn’t own that, I would have to seriously compare them side by side to make my decision, and price could definitely be a factor.

A shout out to @Matt W for the hook up of South Slope from his local TJ Maxx. Much appreciated!

I finally got the one fragrance that I've been wanting for a long time. This is my 3rd Creed fragrance, so it fits in nicely. The experience of wearing this today was pretty cool. I felt confident, but my confidence went when I got a couple of compliments. This was the first time that someone said what are you wearing like cologne wise bc when you walked by me the smell was beautiful and nice. I know it doesn't happen like that always but pretty cool to experience. Thought I would share.
