Yes it is, buy copies that smell exactly the same and cost a 10th of the price and use the money left over for going out or buying even more aftershave

It's all relative.

Millionaires don't ask the price.

I do like Creed but simply can't justify that much money on a scent ......

I could afford it but I think I could put my money to better use.

At my age I have long given up thinking that I am what I own.

Bit of pussy juice behind each ear and i'm ready to go.

Sounds expensive for aftershave but my motto is if you really like something and you can afford and you wouldn’t be happy with a an alternative then buy it, the most I’ve spent on perfume is about £75 ssssshhhh don’t tell Will. I’m intrigued to smell this Viking aftershave to see if it is worth the price tag.

No. You know what ? It's nice that you spoiled yourself. Don't splash it all over and don't loan it out ........ feel special , make it last. Next time spend half that if not a quarter.

Put the rest of the money away for good times or helping friends.

I'd rather smell of skin and take a friend out than smell amazing and miss my friend.

Yeah its a nice cool smell.

The underdog of creed.

Another one that gets me lots of compliments is versace dillon blue. Had women stop me in tescos for that one so they can buy it for thier husband.

I really like oud ones at the moment. Musky and manly smell like a lumberjack/ hippy

Thing is with creed they do use the best ingredients ambergris and so on. You wouldn't get that in the cheaper ones.

Although the cheaper ones are good for everyday use.

Agreed x don’t get copies and buy what you like!! X

I think the most I spent on a perfume was maybe £90 but I prefer to have like a little collection going than sticking to one only x

I must have like 7-8 different perfumes I rotate around x x

I get my aftershaves from Penhaligons which run at around £200 for 100ml.

They do a selection of testers however which are much cheaper and help you choose.

At the moment I use Quercus for the day and Blenheim Bouquet for the evening.

I am old fashioned but yes you are absolutely right, it’s a very traditional selection of fragrance. What I like is that they don’t “stale”or “taint” when worn.

I tend to buy a few bottles whenever there's a sale on and rotate them regularly. At the minute I'm using Hugo Boss Just Different for work. It cuts through the haze of Sauvage haha

My preference for going out changes depending on the occasion but I find I can't go far wrong with Prada Luna Rossa.

The most expensive fragrance I've ever bought was 3 Joe Malone bottles and a candle as a present for a friend. I can get by with cheap/little stuff. I'd rather spend the money on friends and see other people happy

If you like it, can afford it and it makes you happy, get it. It’s not about the price but the worth, and if it’s worth it to you, enjoy it. I’m nearing 100 fragrances in my collection but only have about 15 out a time in regular use. Collecting fragrances makes me happy and that’s all that matters.

We both do. It’s nice to wear something that isn’t also worn by half the people in your group on a night out. I wouldn’t say they were the higher end though, more mid range these days. I’d say a cheap bottle is £60-80, mid range £180-240, high end aftershave these days is £400/500 a bottle.

Go for it. I just spent 25 quid on

a pair of socks which seems a lot and is a lot I guess but they don't half feel nice and it was bonus month in May which I hadn't spent a bean of on myself apart from buying some crypto.

Good luck to you and btw i wear Jo Malone Huntsman whisky & cedarwood which ain't cheap either but smells lush x

We both do. It’s nice to wear something that isn’t also worn by half the people in your group on a night out. I wouldn’t say they were the higher end though, more mid range these days. I’d say a cheap bottle is £60-80, mid range £180-240, high end aftershave these days is £400/500 a bottle.

I love the bottle also of the LVs (yeah I’m very visual! Lol)

And I tried a few including rose des vents as I wanted to FALL in love and buy it but I didn’t

"I get my aftershaves from Penhaligons which run at around £200 for 100ml.

They do a selection of testers however which are much cheaper and help you choose.

At the moment I use Quercus for the day and Blenheim Bouquet for the evening.

I want to love Penhaligons but I always found their fragrances to be too old fashioned

Packaging is nice tho x

I am old fashioned but yes you are absolutely right, it’s a very traditional selection of fragrance. What I like is that they don’t “stale”or “taint” when worn.

Which one is you fave? If my nose remember correctly one that smelled nice to me was one about the Nile? Or something? Lol

"

There is one called Cairo, which I haven’t tried. Aside from the two I mentioned above. I also like The Tragedy of Lord George for evenings and the Impudent Cousin Matthew for the day.

Yes but I would quite happily spend that on a pair of shoes or a handbag so I can’t talk really

I generally have quite a few on the go, depends where I’m going to what I wear, I’m a Chanel No 19 girl at heart so always have that on my Christmas & Birthday list but I also love Narciso Rodriguez and McQueen Queen I think they smell erotic and also have a few day wears like Jo Malone, I used to like the Armani Acqui Di Gio but doesn’t to be available these days looking at my list I think I must be a mid range price tag kind of girl

I think creed Viking at 200 quid is a touch rich tbh, but happy to take advice on something a little less Exuberant

Creed's not worth the money anymore. It got sold to BlackRock and I'm told that it got reformulated.

Absolutely, as said maybe not the scents I love usually but the bottles are award winning, I wanted the peacock so bad just for the look

"Yes it is, buy copies that smell exactly the same and cost a 10th of the price and use the money left over for going out or buying even more aftershave

Tried the copies and as much as they smell the same ish they don’t last as long

They do where I get mine from, try the essence vault they last all day "

I got my 2 fav perfumes from there, still sitting unused as smell nothing like the originals, I was gutted lol

If you can afford it go for it, personally I’m a floris man, and got something bespoke from them. It’s worth spending out of its going to be different from the others around you, not just another Calvin Kline or Armani off the shelf kind of thing.

It's all about the smell obviously and if you can afford it why the hell not. I'm a massive perfume lover and I won't say how many bottles I have and I'd hate to add up the cost but you know what....I work hard and I'm lucky I can afford them

I'm currently using Tom Ford Ombré Leather. Cost me £89 that's the most I've ever spent on after shave but my god I'd probably pay double that for it, it's so nice
