Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Qiam Silver Eau de Parfum
Al Qiam Silver is a brilliantly fresh, zingy grapefruit and ginger bomb that, despite some performance gripes, delivers serious bang for your buck. For those who enjoy the specific scent profile, it's a solid, universally pleasing option, often outshining its pricier inspirations.

Our Verdict - Original Vetiver Eau de Parfum
This is a clean, green, soapy vetiver that screams 'expensive Irish Spring'. It's a gorgeous scent profile for many, but its shocking lack of performance for most means it's often dismissed as not worth the Creed price tag.
