This isn’t the longest lasting fragrance but it is divine. I prefer to use this after evening showers as it really calms and relaxes the mind and body after long days of work. I get a few hours of performance which is perfect as it’s still there when I fall asleep. That’s mostly how I use SMW.

From someone who can relate, try FragraneUSA.com. I got two bottle of SMW, the first for 186$ and the second for 176$ because I had a coupon. Right now it’s selling for 195 on that site. And it’s 100% legit Creed. So far I got 4 Creeds from them for less than 50% of the original price. I also got Sedly from Parfum De Marly for 10% discount. All original. When you receive your shipment you’ll find a 10% discount coupon. Add that to an already heavily discounted Creeds and you’ll be amazed. Ps. Stephen actually is the one who first introduced me to FragranceUSA.

Downside to these cheaper clones is that it causes the original to lose it's luxury & exclusive feel because it can be purchased by anyone now. Creed should have met consumers in the middle & brought the price down to the $150 - $200 range, cause this has to be affecting their profits.
