AQUATIC VIBE - EROLFA & MILLESIME IMPERIAL by CREED

[@edaniel927]

I have them BOTH in my collection. They have the same DNA but they are very different! The best that Creed has to offer, in my opinion.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

How amazing our these fragrances! I do love the way that Creed puts together aromatic, wood style masculine fragrances… they just work! Wonderful to hear from you @E Daniel

[@JT-rx1eo]

For me, EROLFA is the greatest true Aquatic/oceanic fragrance ever. As in all time. It's simply a face full of realistic sea spray while sailing the Mediterranean sea. And to the question of what true aquatic/oceanic notes are in EROLFA, it's the real ambergris. Ambergris, ambergris, ambergris! Quality ambergris with the realistic marine smell, as opposed to the fecal ambergris smell. That quality of ambergris, for which Creed is known, is the olfactory analogue to holding up a sea shell to your ear and "hearing the ocean" inside the shell. This ambergris had been floating around in the ocean probably for decades, marinating in sea water, undergoing chemical changes until it literally smelled like the sea, fish scales and mermaid tails included. Calone is not a real aquatic/oceanic note. EROLFA is the greatest true aquatic/oceanic fragrance in history. The more popular Millesime Imperial is its sibling with the ambergris turned down and fruit turned up. It's a sailboat on the Mediterranean, but full of fruit which partially blocks that beautiful EROLFA sea spray in the face. MI's performance is not as good either. Thanks for reviewing EROLFA, the greatest true aquatic/oceanic fragrance in history.

Get your nose on Roja Oceania 5x better than Erofa

[@JT-rx1eo]

@@user-rq7tt7qv6x I have Roja Oceania. Not 5x better. But I like Oceania, it's just that I actually classify Oceania not as an Aquatic/oceanic, but as what I call a "After the Rain" scent. Close to Aquatic/oceanic but not quite the same. Oceania smells more like the concrete of the marina just after a rain moved through the area. The petrichor. And Oceania does that very well. But it does NOT do the salty sea spray in the face once the boat leaves the marina as well as EROLFA. That's the difference between "After the Rain" freshie and Aquatic/oceanic.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I have a hard time understanding your post James.....so are you saying that you love EROLFA?😉 Noted! I will never speak ill of EROLFA in your presence (how dare I suggest that Millesime is a better aquatic fragrance over EROLFA!) Love your passion my brother, and really love that you shared so deeply about what makes EROLFA such a stand out hit Thank you again James for jumping into the conversation, great to hear from you

[@davids_d3246]

@@JT-rx1eo Just tried this morning : Oceania ; Ocean Leather and Erolfa . Oceania on me is Elysium with some more citrus notes, but i don t get in my skin any marine- oceanic wibe. Ocean Leather does this better but honestly... the old guy Erolfa does it at the best! With Megamare ( completely different style) Erolfa is the more realistic salty oceanic vibe.. amazing

Two fine smelling Creeds. I own them both and am looking forward to being able to wear them again as winter wanes here in the States.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

How spectacular are both of these in summer!🧡 We're in the middle of summer here in Australia and have been wearing all of these (Virgin Island, Viking Cologne, etc etc)....I love getting wiff's of these fragrances as I move around. They're awesome compliment getters too😎

[@timothysegal3589]

Ever tried Aqua Di Sale? If you are looking for an aquatic that pushes... I also have a 99 batch of Millesime. If you ever have the chance to smell this, really do! It is something else entirely. You smell the real ambergris that they used back then. On the sprayer it smells even slightly animalic, but in the air it is magical.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes, very big fan of all the Pro Fumum Roma fragrances. I have tried Aqua Di Sale and it's a winner. One day I will test out and smell the early batches of Millesime, I have heard that this is another experience (as per your comments) so looking forward to this day🤩 Great to hear from you @Timothy Segal, thanks for jumping into the conversation

You just have to spray 12 times , 4 sprays Let it dry 5-10 minutes and respray 4 more times Or just get milestone and it’s stronger with superior projection . If you really want to shine do about 3-4 sprays of xxx Zaharoff then layer the creed or milestone on top Only thing with that layer is you have to carry some mace to keep the flocks of wemen from rushing you

[@emmanuelgerard2962]

Both are different but great summer fragrances nonetheless but for me I get similarities in the dry downs. Love both and have them!

Hello Marcelo yeah agree Aventus Cologne and Viking Cologne are great.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes, I feel more love needs to pushed towards Aventus Cologne (I think it gets overshadowed by its big brother) Great to hear from you Lee

[@hypnotoads]

I have a vintage 1992 Erolfa and I do like it - I follow the rules and wear it when I’m anywhere near the coast. Heavy on the ambergris, which I think helps, and it also might be what you’re not so sure of? Strangely enough, I’ve never experienced Millesime Imperial 🤔

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I would love to smell the difference (if there is one) to the vintage one you have. I don't think it's the ambergris as I like the musky/salty tones that this note produces. For me I seem to be really susceptible to 'fruity notes'. A fragrance that carries any fruit, for me it really pops for some reason. But as mentioned once I start moving into the drydown that 'unusual' component subsides and I get to really enjoy this one. Great to hear from you Mark (you gotta smell Millesime....one of the best aquatics in my book)

[@mikeab2871]

Just picked up Erolfa. Going on vacation to the Mediterranean. So decided to pick Erolfa just made the most sense. Love the way it smells especially after wearing it for a few hours. The more you wear it the more you love it.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

What an awesome companion for your Mediterranean adventure🤩 And yes, this fragrance weave's its magic as you're wearing it. Can you imagine the olfactory link you're about to create with this perfume as you overlook the stunning Mediterranean whilst wearing this beauty🧡💥 It's going to be awesome!!! So good to hear from to Mike; safe travels my friend

[@Heavy.hemi510]

Haha same here, going on a Mediterranean cruise next month! So ill be picking up a bottle of Erolfa!

[@sharifradwan4515]

With you on Millesime; I ***wish*** Millesime would push out more, it's barely a skin scent, and yes it does last and pop it's head up every now and then, and it is *sooooo* gorgeous, I have grown to love this sooo much, and you both have said, if *THIS* could perform like Aventus Cologne. Ironically I am actually wearing Millesime, one one arm it's one layered with Amborxan, and that absolutely ruined it. On the other arm it's layered ISO E Super, yes it projects a bit more, but ever so slightly alters the scent, other may not notice, but I do, and I wear Millesime for me, and not for the crowd, so depending on my mood I might wear it on it's own or layer it with a couple of spritses of ISO E Super, give it a go. I said I would not buy this bottle again due to performance, but I'm finding a hard time believing I won't. Anyway, based on this review Erolfa is off the list, m and based on you curiosity of me liking Viking or not, I might purchase Viking, not sure whether to go for the OG or the Cologne 🤔 Guys, thank you for a lovely review once again, and we have I'd say 75-80% similarity in tastes, if Erolfa is Citrus forward, then it's a no go, I'm having a citrus overload at the minute, Blenheim Bouquet from Penhaligon is to blame lol.

Great to hear from you Melvin and yes, Maturation is a real thing and affects the oils in most niche perfumery. Here is an article that goes into a lot more detail on the subject: maisonphillipeperfumery.com/truth-about-maceration/ As you mentioned here, always best to keep your bottle in a cool dark place and I would recommend to keep it in its original packaging (just makes it easy) The only point is I would also recommend that you test the fragrance first. I realise that this will be tough based on the fact that you're buying off ebay (with the seller being possibly in another state)....but anyway, that's my recommendation to avoid disappointment on your part.

I like both of these, and decided to get a bottle of MI for the collection. Something about Erolfa just doesn't fully vibe with me. MI on the other hand is excellent, but doesn't perform all that well...so I tend to spray it on heavy.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I feel that I was very similar to you. But EROLFA will work it's magic on you. As mentioned in the episode the opening is a bit tricky for me, but the payoff is in the drydown making this fragrance a winner (awesome for Summer) And yes, MI needs extra sprays but with those 5 sprays that I do, I find that the fragrance stays with me for over 7 hours.

Great question and my response is actually mixed.

Also, my wife has a radar for this fragrance and can pick it up when I'm wearing it (she's a fan). However I find that EROLFA has better projection out of the 2, but I don't get as much "oohs and ahhhs" with this one (also because my wife think this one is ok). I also find that for me EROLFA is a more casual day/activity kind of fragrance. Whereas, Millesime is more of a statement maker, party, going out fragrance Good Luck my friend!

Erolfa has too many herby spicy notes to match with the theme it's supposed to be selling. Probably more woody notes than make sense for me to be in the middle of the Mediterranean. Whether it is that or the kind of musk it uses i find it to be a warm fragrance. Whereas MI is more refreshing. I find Erolfa very interesting and fairly pleasant, i had fun exploring it, but i think it's rare i would wear it instead of something else now.

[@JT-rx1eo]

I've bought the book, awaiting its arrival. Lying as charged would be bad, but it would only effect me buying Creed frags with historical backstories, like Tabarome Millesime and Royal Mayfair. Two things the author contends in his research that stand out to me regarding my view of Creed scents: 1. Olivier Creed does not put a cost limit on the source materials that limits the perfumer, like all other houses in the bidding process for a fragrance. He essentially says use only the best ingredients. 2. The author says in talking to sources in Europe, the general consensus is that Olivier Creed is the best scent evaluator in the world, and has been for the last 50 years. Yep, I'll keep buying Creeds, but if I decide they've been lying about history and celebrity tie-ins, and they come out with a new absinthe fragrance that "was created for Claude Monet", I'll pass on it. P.S I tested an absinthe fragrance yesterday, L'Heure Verte by Killian, so I looked up absinthe and learned that it was a popular drink among artists of the late 19th century, including Monet. That's why I used that example. Lol. steemit.com/story/@godflesh/geniuses-inspired-by-the-drink-of-the-devil-absinthe

[@JT-rx1eo]

Creed is a controversial House that obviously isn't for everyone. It's a "designer-esq" niche house that typically creates pleasing, non-challenging scent profiles, and that alone lowers its appeal to some, particularly the "Niche Snobs" or "Frag Snobs". That's OK because Creed jives with my philosophy, i.e. a fragrance can be as artsy, abstract, creative and even "challenging" as the creator(s) wants, but it better meet my first simple threshold requirement: that it be pleasant to smell. Too often "challenging" really means "smells bad". And Creed fragrances seem to contain really high quality ingredients. My favorites: Bois du Portugal Royal Oud Aventus Viking Green Irish Tweed Green Valley (discontinued) EROLFA Royal Water

Interesting that the Creeds don't resonate with you. The reason why I asked about being too mainstream is because they are so instantly appealing that most people when they migrate from designer fragrances seem to start with something in the Creed family.....hence some people feel that they're not 'niche' enough BTW African Leather is awesome (well in my opinion)....I'd be curious to know your take on this fragrance once it lands. Great to hear from you Jae

MI has a gasoline vibe.

Whoa, I’m not getting that at all. Is this on the opening or dry down. Now that you suggested this, I’m going to spray and see if I’m feeling that too🤔
