Apex Predator

Not worth the buy. Smells nothing like the OG.

At first I thought this was only 75%-80% like Bois du portugal. It was a very nice scent still, but not as close as I hoped. Then I read that these are made to order & should have time to macerate. So I revisited the cologne about a month later & WOW how has this matured!! Especially when that dry down hits. Once I gave it some time, it became the scent I was hoping for & more. Now I would say its 95%-97% like it, & who knows after a few more weeks it may be a 1 to 1. Even if not, I am very satisfied with it. So if you buy this, don't judge it right away & give it a go after a couple weeks. It's still a nice scent on delivery day so it is usable.

It may be "inspired by" the scents included in the Creed OG, but it smells absolutely nothing like it. All this smells like to me is lavender. Not bad for people who like more floral scents, but I was really expecting it to be closer to the inspiration, which has a lot more of a spicy kick right off the bat

It's a unique and strong projecting cologne, that said it is not going to appeal to everyone. I do get a lot of compliments when I wear it, but its definitly a niche fragrance, as opposed to mass appealing. I think its amazing & most do, but if you are unfamiliar with niche scents then you may want to try the small size of this before committing to a regular bottle.
