Costco will gladly take it back. But provide store credit.

No, they will refund your money if you don't like it. I returned this fragrance due to it's poor performance and got my money back.

I've been wanting to try Armaf. Would you recommend ACDN Intense or Sillage?

They are two very different scents. Cdnim (Aventus) is citrusy fresh and dries down woody. Sillage (Silver Mountain) is a mild scent featuring tea. They are both really good, but very different. The website fragrantica has a lot of information on both the original the the dupes.

This is a good scent, however, it doesn't last very long. I hear the original formulation was a beast, but it has been watered down after they were bought out by Black Rock private equity.

Armat Club de Nuit Intense Limited Edition is supposed to be very good. I have the regular EDP and it's pretty good, but the LE is supposed to be better. I bought the original Creed from Costco during their last sale and it smelled very close to the Armaf, but didn't last as long. The Armaf wasn't as smooth, but for a fraction of the cost, it was the right version for me. I'll pick up the Armaf LE when I run out of the EDP. I ended up returning the genuine Creed.

How long a fragrance lasts also depends on the person's skin it's being applied to. I hope people understand that. It's not meant to be sprayed on your clothes. It's meant to go directly on the skin. My wife loves aventus on me and it lasts easily through a day into the next morning. I use two half sprays on my upper chest on the left and right side. Have tried several creed scents but aventus is my daily wear. Never bought it from Costco though.

Got this on the last Costco sale without smelling at Nordstrom/etc. I typically go for spicy, warm scents, and am by no means a scent expert. I do actually quite like the scent, despite it being very far off of what I usually will buy myself. However, I was stunned by the incredibly short staying power. Two sprays on the neck before leaving the house, and by the time I made a 20 minute drive and a walk across a windy parking lot, my friend couldn't smell it even with a hug inside the restaurant. Very disappointing for something so pricy, especially when I have much cheaper scents that I spray in the morning and can still smell on my clothes when I take them off at the end of the day.

Agreed, performance and to a degree the way a fragrance smells depends on skin chemistry. My performance comparison was based on my personal experience with both on my skin.

If you like the scent, try Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Limited Edition. It's much cheaper and the performance should be much better. On my skin, the Armaf EDP lasts a lot longer than Aventus. The Limited Edition is supposedly smoother and better performing.

I'm about half way through the bottle i bought last sale. It's decent. I don't think I'd buy it again though. Can do better and get more compliments cheaper.

Does this smell like Apollo Creed, Adonis Creed, the band Creed, or the guy from the Office?

sweet. my boomer dad loves this stuff.

Thanks.

You say "boomer" , which gets a lot of downvotes. Next guy says, "grandpa" and that elicits some upvotes. I find that interesting.

Edit: if you downvote you took the bait! Bwahahahaha

When did cologne go to $250? That is crazy expensive. Is this how they are pricing smelly alcohol these days?

It has bits of real panther in it. 😉

Hard pass on this expensive scented water Aventus. GIT and SMW might be worth getting.

Get CDNIM EDT/EDP/PARFUM/LE, Al Haramain L' aventure instead. You want similar style but with better quality Mancera Cedrat Boise, Afnan Not Only Intense.

GIT - Armaf Tres Nuit, Rasasi Egra, Al Haramain L'aventure Knight

SMW - Armaf Sillage, Rasasi Al Wisam Day

I haven't tried Sillage but reading online if it's a similar quality "dupe" of Creed's Silver Mountain Water, it'd be worth a try. I think SMW is more daily for most people, where Aventus you really have to want the pineapply citrus as 90% of the fragrance

Well I bit the bullet and bought Armaf Intense and Armaf La Parfait. Hope these are as good as the reviews say they are.

no idea lol. Just saying my boomer dad loves this stuff, as does his poker buddies. That's all I need to know why not to use this when I'm trying to meet with the ladies.
