Baie de Genievre  Creed for women and men Pictures

The name of this perfume comes from one of its raw ingredients. Baie de Genievre is French for "juniper berry." To get the most exquisite fragrance, Creed allows the juniper berry to ripen for two to three years before hand-picking and drying. The fragrance is described by some as resembling another juniper berry concotion—the classic gin martini.

It opens with notes of bergamot and cinnamon leaves. The heart is composed of clove and juniper berry, while the base contains vetiver and ambergris. Baie de Genievre was launched in 1982. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Creed Sixth Generation.

So first of, I have to say that I wear different perfumes to work and ask people around what they think. To my surprise this was the most complemented from women and man perspective. They just liked it a lot. I think once of the reasons is that its a very sophisticated type of scent. Its not simple but not overdone either. It projects elegance, class, vintage, security. It can come off as an average brut type cologne; but the concotion is very well done and disnstictive to set it apart from other over hyped creed such as GIT, Aventus etc. which I also think are great. This one is now discountinued, but if you have a chance to get your hands on it I highly recommend it because it is a great high class smell!
Close to the skin scent after 4 hours but it will get you notice for sure.

This was a blind buy for me, which I regret. It is probably my skin, because on the paper it smells great, however, when applied it turns sour and harsh. It has a small longevity compared to my expectations.
Easy. Soft. Spicy.

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.
