The above is my SOTD. My 1st impression was to stop and ask myself, "did I grab a decent from Tiziana by mistake?" :lolbron:

But the difference is, where Tiziana would turn it up as far as the projection and theatrics of it all--Creed is more polished & restrained.

I kind of wanted them to push the cinnamon a little further in the open. But after about 20 mins, the vanilla, almond, and bourbon really stuck out to grab my attention.

Overall though, it's too 'soft' for me. Too safe. I have other joints that do this a little bit better, especially at the price point.

Grabbed Bond No.9 New York Nights a few weeks bacc......but in candle form :ohlawd:

I know there's no bananas listed in the notes, but I'll be damned if it doesn't give off a banana pudding essence. The more I burn it, the coffee starts to seep out of it as well. I know it probably won't be the same if and when I get a decant of it, but I'm with all the gourmand and decadent fukkery. Plus, I can think of a few things to layer it with.

SOTD - Amouage - Royal Tobacco

Scent - 11 out of 10
Longevity - 11 out of 10
Projection - 11 out off 10 - straight room filler

but

Wearability - 2 out of 10 - Snow on the ground, Night at the Kennedy Center, just got a divorce and DGAF... - it's just not a lot of scenarios I would rock this.

I swear if I didn't WFH, I'd get rid of 99% of the collection.

idk why i got Vanguard, because if have Afnan Supremacy CE...but yeah smells the same [which is a good thing]

the clear winners by far in this is Forever Wanted Absolu [to me way better than Elixir] and YSL Y Iced

This gonna be the last thing i try from City Rhythm [this doesn't even smell bad but im whelmed]

YSL Y Elixir smells nice too but Iced is blowing this out the water

[skin testing Tempo on one hand and YSL Y Elixir on the other...will update]
