Forever Wanted Elixir Eau de Parfum vs Rebels Creed Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a definite crowd-pleaser for those who like their leather served with a sweet and juicy berry twist. While some might find it a bit linear, the raspberry-leather combo is a proven winner, creating an attention-grabbing scent that's received widespread approval.
Rebels Creed is a loose, budget nod to Creed's Aventus, but it's a considerable stretch as a dupe - it drops Aventus's signature pineapple-blackcurrant-birch smokiness entirely for a green apple, lavender and leather blend. Anyone hoping for Aventus's fruity-smoky opening will find this reads as a generic fresh-woody scent instead, with far less richness and staying power.
