Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Erolfa EDP
Erolfa is one for the seasoned Creed connoisseur, not the casual sprayer. Its marine-fruity charm is undeniable but temperamental - brilliant for some, a fleeting phantom for others. Prepare for possible 'pissy' ambergris encounters and lamentable longevity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 021 Erolfus EDP
No. 021 echoes Creed's Erolfa with a bright citrus-and-woods structure, but plays it flatter and simpler than the original's rich, layered chypre-aromatic development, with weaker sillage and a shorter life once the initial citrus rush fades.
