Warm spicy (cinnamon, pink pepper), sweet, smoky (tobacco), aromatic opening Modern, mature, potent fragrance Great projection and sillage Can be overcloying at times Can be used in the office for 1-2 sprays and best for evenings out Best for Fall and Winter Woody, earthy, powdery, vanillic (bourbon vanilla), bit leathery on dry down Great longevity Very discernible for 3-4 hours and stays as a skin scent and on clothes for 5-6 more hours When you thought it's gone, you suddenly catch whiffs of the fragrance intermittently several more hours after application Classic Creed flask-shaped bottle: bright, fiery red; gold heavy cap, good atomizer Great overall performance I would highly recommend Centaurus⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luxurious-Bold-Incandescent Supposed clones: Crimson by Rayhaan = 9.5/10 similarity (Maturation has really helped a lot.. this can do the job for a fraction of the cost) Royal Taboo by Aromatix = 9/10 similarity (I don't know if further maturation will make it close to 1:1) but at this point this is a slightly a toned-down version that I might actually prefer over the OG and Crimson.. @Aditya Choksi this is my initial impression..
