I bought this alongside a 100ml bottle of the original from Creed to compare. I now cannot tell the difference between them when on skin. Absolutely wonderful smelling fragrance. The problem with the original is that after an hour or so, the smell has vanished which is pretty poor for £190+ and Creed. I will be buying this one now for sure. A bargain for such a great smell. Cheers PP. Cannot recommend this fragrance enough.
