Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, natural-smelling citrus, Jardin d'Amalfi stands as one of Creed's best. But for goodness sake, wear it quickly - its legendary fleeting performance at a king's ransom price is a common sticking point.
Scarlet Grass For Men chases Creed's Vetiver Geranium, a fresh woody-floral built on green apple, geranium and grassy vetiver. The dupe captures that crisp apple-and-geranium opening but, true to budget oils, the refined Creed ambergris-cedar base reads flatter and a little less rounded.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
This shines in casual and sport settings due to its fresh, natural citrus and light projection, making it unobtrusive but uplifting. Its elegance also allows it to fit for formal daywear or dates, but is less suited for office due to its sheer luxury and 'too good for the office' vibe.
Seasons
The crisp green apple and grassy vetiver are at their best in spring and summer, with enough woody warmth to carry into autumn.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean and unobtrusive character suits the office, casual days and daytime dates more than formal evenings.
