Crimson
“Cinnamon, pink pepper, and cardamom over benzoin, tonka, and vanilla — Creed Centaurus's sweet, spicy warmth for a fraction.”
The take
What works
- ●Nearly indistinguishable from Creed Centaurus on the dry-down
- ●Sweet, spicy, syrupy cinnamon warmth built for cold weather
- ●Serious longevity at a budget price
Trade-offs
- ●Divisive — the sweet-spiced profile isn't for everyone
- ●The cinnamon runs sharp in the opening
