I appreciate these Creed threads. Not only will we get a reference to "Higher", but I learn which are the better clones and what are the best places to buy online. I honestly think that scents are much more important to men than women, at least for me anyway. My wife rarely comments on my colognes or after shaves but oh man, do I love it when she wears Bitter Peach or the Mugler scent she picked out for me to buy her for Christmas. I like smelling nice but as long as I don't smell like BO, she's fine with me. 😂
With arms wide open! No wait.. that's the Creed deodorant.
That is because I am married, not because of how I smell.

And so..just to clarify.. as somebody who owns over 500 bottles of fragrances, and has tried every single Creed, and owns much of which this topic has discussed.
Fragrance opinions of smell are completely subjective.. what smells like GIT to you, won't smell like GIT to the next guy. But yes.. most people would say that the closest thing to GIT is CW. They definitely have similarities, and there is some truth to GIT and CW being made similar to one another on purpose. Idk the whole story, I am pretty sure GIT came out in 85, and CW in 88. Neither of them smell dated, as they have evolved with time, mostly reformulations and batch variations.
There's a lot of other brands that have noticed the success of these 2, and tried to clone them, many of which have been mentioned on this topic.. but if you have your chance to buy the original, and have the money to do so.. then that's your best bet.. cause imho nothing is better in this genre than GIT. CW used to get cloned too when it was a more expensive fragrance.. but now since it's so mass produced, its found everywhere on the cheap. there's no reason not to own both if you just love fragrances. If you're just trying to get laid though, thinking a fragrance is gonna be the answer to your problems.. you're sadly mistaken.. but it can certainly help.
Have you smelled cool water lately? It doesn't even come close to GIT.
GIT is still the spring time GOAT
Mont Blanc - Explorer is a wonderful Creed Aventus clone. I have a decant of Aventus and I can barely notice the difference in scents, however you will notice a major difference in prices. Mont Blanc is very affordable.
All of Mont Blanc fragrances smell synthetic and cheap. Mont blanc is overpriced to be sold in department stores, should be a TJmaxx, and Ross exclusive.
Love Aventus, GIT, and SMW. Expensive colognes that react differently with each individual's skin so you have to try them for yourself but overall amazing if you can afford to spend this much. The 3 I have are probably the most tried and true and can be blind buys.
