If you want to be a proper member here you must buy Creed. Thems the rules.

Prada: Luna Rossa
Yves Saint Laurent: La Nuit de L'Homme Collection
Montblanc: Legend Spirit

All very good smelling choices and not 200$ plus to be in the "club"

I agree, but, must admit that I also have an equal split with Tom Ford.

True. For me, specifically Tom Ford Private Blends. To me, here's the magic number.

Creed Millesime Imperial - Warm Weather
Creed Green Irish Tweed - Cool Weather
Tom Ford Tuscan Leather/Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille - Cold Weather
Creed Aventus - Anytime, IMO, one of the holy grails of fragrance

Wes - I get headaches from Tom Ford as they are soooo strong and heavy. Aventus for me nice and light like most of their fragrances. Some people react differently I guess but lots of choices out there!

I went out a few days ago to see if I could find something I liked better than Aventus. I tried everything I read about, Tom Ford Noir and Vanille, Chanel Blue, Chanel Allure, Paco Rabanne 1 Million, and many others......nope. Bought another bottle of Aventus and went home happy.

I do wish they had Creed soaps here, but I'll settle with just the cologne.

Old school RL Polo green bottle, been wearing since I was 14. I do like the Creed Irish Tweed as well. I tried the RL Supreme OUD recently and while it is nice, it is too heavy for me.

I try other fragrances but always go back to the RL green bottle.

Creed Aventus is just amazing! (favourite all time)
Thierry Mugler - Over the Musk another one of my go to scents.
Bond No. 9 - Chez - Another good scent.

However for work, I use Mont Blanc Legend or Spirit, Chanel Bleu, or Tom Ford - Noir Extreme.

1. I try not to spray it in my eyes and thus far never have.
2. I don't wear it when I swim in the ocean which is rare as it is - mostly pools.
3. I never have drank it yet nor do I see myself doing a shot any time in this life.
4. No rash nor reaction from skin so can check that off list.

So all good here - will keep on wearing it Abdullah!

Although 1 - 3 applies to every fragrance
