Creation

Ted Lapidus Creation is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1984. The fragrance opens with Neroli, Mango, Peach, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Narcissus, Gardenia, Ylang-Ylang, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Creation: Acquired

This is an absolute beast for those who dare to wear it. Creation isn't for shrinking violets; it's a loud, unashamed 80s powerhouse. It's truly divisive, you'll either love how it screams complexity or find it utterly overwhelming, but it demands respect.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Given its significant sillage and longevity, it's too much for office wear and too assertive for casual daytime. It shines in formal settings or on a date where you want to make a bold statement, but it's not a scent for subtle encounters.

About

Exploding with a vibrant, almost tropical fruit basket of peach, mango, and passionfruit, instantly cut through by galbanum's sharp greenness. This evolves into a rich, sprawling floral heart of narcissus, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, underpinned by a dense, earthy base of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli. It's a complex, multi-layered journey from exuberant fruit to deep, mossy woods.
