I’ve found myself traveling quite a bit to warmer climes these days, so it’s a bit of a shock now that fall, and soon winter (gasp), is upon us here in NYC! I’m definitely feeling the pressure to get into a more suitable seasonal mode! First on my list is a warm, calming scent, and Creed Original Santal absolutely fits the bill. My recent far-off adventures found me craving Santal’s exotic heartwood and royal Indian sandalwood; It’s a rich and evocative fragrance for both men and women, capturing India’s royal and spiritual splendor—in fact this red-as-rubies scent has my chakras fully aligned for the blustery weather ahead! You can be sure I’ll be sporting this sublime scent throughout the coming seasons.

Mr. Andrews,
Your blog to has actually been my initial introduction to the Creed house of fragrances. I will will be making my first Creed purchase, and wanted to get your opinion on the Aventus fragrance. I’m torn between Aventus and a scents that fit under the universal category. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Love the site.
Be Well
Hello Carter,
So happy to hear I have been able to connect people with one of my favorite fragrance houses- Creed.
In regards to your selection – Aventus is a bit bolder statement than some of the Universal fragrances.
So if you are feeling like conquering the world – Aventus might be the way to go.
It is still incredibly fresh like the Universal ones tend to be , but with a few more powerful notes.
I hope that helps in making your selection.
Cheers
JA
