Baie de Genievre Creed for women and men

One of the most elegant scents from Creed. Perfect for sophisticated gentlemen. Highly recommended!

A wise basenoter once commented that the dry-down of Baie de Genievre smells like clean hospital bandages, and I see the point. It does indeed have a clean, very hot and dry smell to it. The juniper is pungent, piney, studded with the warmth of cinnamon, clove, and notes of orange and vetiver. I like it enough, although I'm not overly enthusiastic about it, at least not the way I was about Chevrefeuille Original. The ambergris and clove make the closer on this Creed far too similar to a slew of others, and the absence of amber is what set Chevrefueille above the rest. Still, a nice winter scent that is worth checking out.

Juniper and clove are two of the most obvious notes to my nose, yet I detect neither in whatever is in my sample vial labeled Creed BAIE DE GENIEVRE.

I also know that the Creed people know what baie de genievre is: it plays an important, duly credited role in ROYAL WATER (not the Princess Di version, but the other one). In addition, in this fragrance, I detect something akin to light leather or dark tobacco, which is unaccounted for in the listed notes.

I therefore conclude, regrettably, that a decanting mistake has been made! I'll review BAIE DE GENIEVRE once I figure out a way to procure another, more reliable, hopefully carded, sample.

This refreshing scent reminds me with acres and acres and acres of pine trees
in the Bavarian Forest the Juniper berries transport to a vision of a medieval germanic knight like in those
wagnarian dramas where he plege his love for the fair haired maiden he loves and he promised the'll will be together in union right after the crusade of 1189 in palestine. so he placed a weath of juniper on her long
golden locks and with heavy hearts
and tears he kisses his beloved on the cheek and rode off. so she slowly
walked into a beautiful cathedral
knealed in front of the blessed mother took off her juniper weath and prayed for his safe return.

or Karin from the VirginSpring before
her innocence was lost.
you'll find a sense of purity back to
nature a cleasing of all the stresses in the moderen world in this scent.
