Creation Ted Lapidus for women

A powerhouse 80's fruity floral chypre in the same vein as Rumba and Talisman. Strong. rich and complex, definitely a fine vintage wine of a scent to be savoured for all of its notes, not a modern alco-pop type sweet fruity one liner thing. Another piece of aromatic art!

This is one of the nicest, best designed and balanced perfumes I ever smelled. It goes actually beyond the concept of perfume many people have, as something meant to please others or even yourself in a social context and at a conscious level. For me, creation is an emotions perfume, and not because I associate it with any meaningful events of my past life. Contrarily to what some people say, I do not find it cheap at all. I just find it perfect. Cheap perfumes cannot usually afford to have so distinct and at a first contact maybe not that pleasant scent like this one, which from my viewpoint is at the same time quite particular and classical, and this due partly to its powdery texture. Also, depending on the atmospheric conditions and other factors, it does hardly smell twice exactly the same,due to its complexity. Funnily enough, I do not like particularly the smell of the note I find dominant in this perfume, which is bergamot, on its own. I do love it in this perfume, though, combined with mango, the way I also love, under the cover of the fruits, the beautiful tuberose, almost unrecognizable but somehow, I cannot explain how, opulently there. And they do have an effect on me, at an unconscious level, like a drug, actually, to the point of almost making me cry. I find it particularly suitable for a summer evening outdoors, while for example walking on the street. Disturbing is the word I find best describes this perfume. And the evolution is fantastic, from the fruity top notes to the animalistic drydown, which bears resemblance to Paloma Picasso and Magie Noire drydown, to a large extent, I believe, due to the civet, which nevertheless is not listed amongst the notes. I can understand that women tend not to like it that much due to the lack of sweetness in the drydown, and the fact that the smell of the flowers is so subdued. It is also quite strong, and the longevity and sillage are both good. Contrarily to other people, I also like the bottle, for being so compact, and nice to hold in your hand.For me it is the perfume of the dreams.

Other jewel from my grandmother`s wardrobe: a floral-fruity with soul. With a nice patchouli, strong narcissus and passion fruit mixed with another fruits in top, goes more warm in dry-down. The base consists in a sweet, gentle musk really well blended with amber & woods. A great price for a great fragrance.

Edit:
Reading some reviews here and thinking about chypre concept, now I've been noticed it's one of them. What a shame on me.

Aldehydic, powdery chypre with just a hint of civet. It's okay, but not my style.

I came to the conclusion that only someone who has a cold, unapproachable kind of beauty could really pull this one off in public. There is something very arrogant about it sharpness, nothing warm. As for me, I only wear it as far as the front door of the house.And although I appreciate its unique composition and there are days that this is the type of scent i need, I am afraid others might find it too overwhelming. I would recommend it only for the purpose of experiencing this unique perfume, and who knows you might more than like it!

totally agree olga about the bottle.
this fume is very unique but a little old fashion,i dont smell any fruit,very strong narcissus and gardenia,base notes are masculin a bit but lovely vanilla made them soft.
a long time ago mom wears this,creation is very special for me:)

This is a very unique and daring scent. Definitely not for everyone, but I like it. I just wish they got rid of that crappy looking bottle with a plastic top....the mini looks just gorgeous, but the large packaging leaves much to be desired. Sticks out in my collection like a sore thumb.

The notes give an impression that it's amazing and unique one, but practicaly, there is something strange in it's smell.
it is not too feminine, but nice smell.
very very very long lasting power.
I find this perfume is suitable for work place, sporty day, or going shopping, cause you need long lasting perfume and not seductive(this is in my opinion).

This was my mom's scent when I was about 6. she had the perfume ( not the spay) and I remember I would ask her to leave a little in the bottle, then I fild it with water wait a day so the water would smell like the perfume and use it ( kids :-) )

This is not a floral fruity, this is a very very strong Chypre. In the beginning I loved it, then I changed my mind, and now I am in doubt. The perfume is VERY unique, daring and extreme. It might suit a power women wanting to communicate 'watch out..'. You would have to be in total ease with yourself and no real doubts, then you might pull this off!

A unique floral cypher, and in reviewing the parfum, I agree it is incredibly strong.

In the beginning, I don't get any fruits in the parfum...what I detect are florals with a touch of honey. Mostly I smell the notes of gardenia, tuberose, daffodil, ylang-ylang, musk, sandalwood, and patchouli. The fruits of peach and some citrus emerge later for me as the fragrance develops.

Sillage is mega ultra strong, and could knock someone over. On the right person, I imagine it could be lovely but sadly...this one is not for me. I found it to be to harsh.

It is not a floral fruity fragrance!
It is actually really heavy chypre fragrance that reminds me of a great-great-grandmother perfume coffret :-)
Smells really outdated, soapy, causes a great migraine-nausea-alike feeling.
It is long lasting though - I could not get rid off it from my wrist even though I used half a soap bar :-)
Reminded me a bit of Byzance by Rochas. Both are equally heavy and I wouldn't give it away as a present even to my mother in law :-)

This Delectable blend of Peaches Mango
Citrus Gardenia and Woods make this perfume great of Summer. better then

i dont like it,i just bought it out of quriousity.It smells like it is outdated

This fresh floral chypre is a very busy and interesting perfume. The fruity top, floral heart, and dominant base create a very 80s composition. I like it, but can't say it is perfectly balanced. It has great longevity, and has a strange marijuana note that starts int he heart and continues into the base. The base also contains civet (likely synthesized), not noted above, which in combination with the patchouli and orris could create this effect. It is dated, but, by all means, very good-and dirt cheap!

I got a little mini bottle of Creation to refresh my memory about it. Well...the top note are a bit harsh, the heart is delicious - bitter wild herbal honey, with undertones of evergreens and ferns - but the base did not seem very interesting for me and reminded me of some chypre men`s cologne,

Es un perfume que usaba de muy chica, en argentina ya no es común poder conseguirlo, es muy dificil.
