This is a divisive one. Many hail Centaurus as a beast-mode, luxurious tobacco-vanilla, while others dismiss it as an overpriced holiday candle, lacking originality and far too sweet. Creed die-hards might find it a departure, but it's clearly a crowd-pleasing warm spicy amber that makes a statement.

A warm, spicy-sweet nod to Creed Centaurus, opening on tobacco, cinnamon and cardamom and drying down into vanilla, tonka and benzoin. Perfume Parlour's version leans gourmand-sweet and a little flatter, missing some of Centaurus's leathery-smoky nuance and lasting power.
