Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jardin d’Amalfi

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.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Artisan Black

This one's a divisive beast, a cult favourite for its unique dark citrus, woody charm contrasted with its tragically poor longevity. It's a genuine shame because the scent profile consistently garners high praise, but wearers warn you'll be constantly re-spraying.

Season and Occasion Fit

Jardin d’Amalfi

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date Formal

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.

Artisan Black

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its poor longevity means it's safe for office wear, as it dissipates quickly. The sensual, dark citrus makes it an ideal choice for dates and casual outings, though not quite formal affairs given its relaxed undertones.
