Eladaria

I just purchased the 75ml bottle yesterday. I created this profile to share my story for anyone looking to purchase this perfume. The background: I'm a sucker for rose scents, in my 30s, politically central and work in real estate management. I want to smell youthful (not juvenile), classy (not old lady, and therefore not too powdery). I dont like citrus, green, aquatic and cannot wear oud because I recently relocated in a hot and humid climate year round. My current perfume collection include: Delina original, Louis Vuitton Rose de Vents and Byredo Young Rose. Just so you have a glimpse of where I started my journey. I finished Delina during my trip in Melbourne, Australia (which is currently winter). Loveeeely smell, like nothing else. It isn't for everyone, and that's what I like. Super feminine, youthful with substance and not forgettable. I had received a lot of compliments, mostly from men. LV Rose de Vents - this is my fail-proof smell. Works in tropical climate but doesnt last longer than 3-4 hours. I personally hate having to bring a bottle of perfume just to spray again during the day. Rosy, feminine, not boring, smells extremely expensive. I also received a lot of compliments for this one, mostly from women. Byredo Young rose was my latest addition and disappointment. Longevity is way worse than Rose de Vents. Ever so slightly sparkly and green, tolerable by me but I don't want anymore than that. I literally would spray 7-8 spritz only to forgot I was wearing something moments later. This is also a feminine scent but definitely less so than the other 2. I like this smell and I've gone through quite a bit and have not received any compliments, probably because it doesnt last long enough and doesn't have enough projection. With all 3 bottles running low, I decided to go on a quest to find a perfect scent suitable for the SEA hot and humid climate. A logical first stop' Delina de Rosee. It was not it! I could not stand it only wrist. It was too citrusy and aquatic on me. Killian Roses on Ice was wayyy to ozonic. Lasts incredibly long, but not my cup of tea. You can tell I prefer more traditional. Ironically with only 1 spritz of Roses on Ice on my wrist and walked out of the mall, a random man on the street said I smelt really good and wanted to pick me up. Nothing by Byredo is worth is so I passed. I eventually narrowed down to Dyptique Eau Rose EDT but also didnt justify buying anything that isnt EDP. Their EDP version has oud and not suitable for the climate. Worth mentioning that I dont really have a budget as I never do for a perfume. I'm happy to spend and don't collect many, only the ones that I feel like it portrays me (or a part of me that I want to show the world). During a stroll at the mall, I decided to go into Libertine shop and asked to try Creed Eladaria after seeing a suggestion on a review on Frangratica. With just 1 spritz on the testing paper, you can tell this will be long-lasting. It smelt like if Delina had a best friend that loves champagne and expensive tea parties. Joyful, sweet, youthful (yet not juvenile) impressive. Admittedly Rose was not the main character here but it did come through, alongside Peony. The moment I smelt it these words rushed through my mind: joy, happiness, sparkling, champagne, expensive, extremely feminine and sweet young lady. Words dont run through my head when I tested other scents, I usually had to look for them. This was the sign for me. I bought it on the spot. Like that other review about Creed's target market, you're right, if you're not able to drop nearly $500 during a stroll at a mall for a bottle of perfume, you may not be their target noses. That doesn't mean Creed customers are snobbish or have loads to throw out the window. What they're looking for is very specific and Creed is able to meet their conditions, that's all.

Okay, ordered from Creed website. I absolutely understand the comparison to Dior's Rose n Roses. I may even agree that if you have that and you are content, you don't need to purchase this. I detect a soapiness in Eladaria not in RnR. Is this the ambroxan? Maybe it's the powder notes, that my nose defines as soapy. I don't smell any Delina, absolutely no tartness here. I love Creed, Love in White was my first niche fragrance many years ago and this house will always have my heart. I love this fragrance and will rejoice in wearing it. Will I repurchase? (It was a blind buy) I don't know because to me it is so similar to Diors RNR, of which, l have bought 2 bottles and had planned to buy a third this spring, I can't really justify the extra $300 for an additional powdery, soapy note. So that is my honest Creed lover's review. My 3 favorite houses are Amouage, PDM and Creed. Over the years, HOC has slipped a little but l still love it so, it hurts to actually say, get a sample if you can and if you really love it, try RnR first because the $445 price tag is a lot when there is a designer fragrance giving the same.

It's amazing how a fragrance morphs on individuals. This one in particular was a surprise. When I purchased this (prelaunch blind buy), I was intrigued by the fragrance notes and how they would play together. When it arrived, I eagerly spritzed it - and was immediately turned off. It overwhelmed me with bergamot, rose and a powdery scent. I ended up with a headache. Fast forward a few months, and while weeding out fragrances to make room for new, I ran across the bottle. I spritzed it again, thinking I would hate it, and to my surprise, this time I picked up notes of rose, citrus, honey, and peony, with a dash of musk and vanilla. A really beautiful combination! Not earth-shattering, but a gorgeous scent nevertheless. I don't know what happened between that timeframe, perhaps it was a stressful day when I first spritzed it, not enough moisturizer on my dry skin or maybe it needed time to 'mature' in the bottle, but now it's a fragrance I've been reaching for. To me, it's a great spring/summer scent, and it's now part of my warm-weather rotation set.

This is love from first sniff. Eladaria opens with a ripe mandarin, not just the zest but also the sweet pulp. Then you step into the most powdery rosy heart. It is breathtakingly lovely to me. Ethereal, delicate and I want to say bridal. Despite the heavy powderiness of the composition, it does not feel "dated" (however I despite the term) and instead retains a freshness and lightness that is aided by a note of mandarin zest which remains in the drydown. This scent seems simple, but the longer I spend with it, the more I discover. There's the play between the cozy and enveloping base notes of musk and cashmere wood versus the lightness of the rose. The sour note of the mandarin versus the sweetness of the floral heart and the light vanilla background. Eladaria lasts for 3 hours max on my skin and has an intimate profile. It is fleeting, yes, but I couldn't care less for how happy it makes me. I haven't sampled many perfumes of a similar profile yet so I'm really looking forward to dive into them!

I LOVE this perfume. However I have a love/hate relationship with the Creed price tag. Some of Creeds creations are worth the price tag because they are powerhouse perfumes. Meaning they last all day, the sillage is noticeable without being obnoxious. And a compliment grabber. Creed prides itself on things I don't care about. The storefront boutique in New York city has got to be expensive so it's tacked on to the price tag. They don't give samples out when you spend money in there. I could care less how or what the bottle is made of. Just a waste of money to stroke the Creed ego. This particular perfume is BEAUTIFUL in the scent department but lacks longevity and sillage. So (in my opinion) the $440.00 price tag is ridiculous. You have to reapply this 3 times as much as some of creeds other creations. It also smells a lot like MFK Aqua Universalis Forte which means it is not original... but beautiful none the less.

I generally love rose perfumes and this is no exception. This is fresh, light, airy and clean. It’s a very classic type of rose scent- light citrus, pink pepper, rose, powder. The citrus opening is very bright and juicy, the rose is pink and dewy. I live in a hot climate and powdery scents can be difficult to wear. But the powder here is very soft, not scratchy or cloying at all. This dries down to a musky vanilla. Projection is excellent. I get 5-6 hours of wear time and it’s a skin scent at 4. This is what I wear during the day when I want to wear a deeper, sexier rose at night. Looking at the notes you might think this leans ‘old lady’ but it’s surprisingly youthful. This is like an extremely elevated, niche version of CH Good Girl Blush. They’re not the same, but it’s a similar structure and scent journey: citrus, pink florals, vanilla.

Let me say this: I received a sample of this fragrance and immediately fell in love. Eladaria is this beautiful, delicate smelling rose scent. Not one of those big roses you picture when roses--but the smaller roses your grandma use to grow around the fence. The powdery notes do something to this no other powdery note I've smelt does. Combine that with the peony and ambroxin and....it. Is. Divine. I should mention this is all coming from a person who cannot STAND most other rose fragrances. But this....I am determined to buy a big bottle as I want to wear this as often as possible. It scratches a fragrance itch in my brain I never knew existed and I cannot get this fragrance out of my head! Unfortunately, your girl is on a budget. I pray this doesn't get discontinued before I muster up the ability to pay $400 for under 100mL.

Out of the three Creed fragrances that I have tried so far, Eladaria is my favourite! It’s another clean musk, powdery rose/peonies perfume, super feminine and very soft! Quite generic, linear, easy reach for day to day wear and in the same vein with the newest Kayali.. Makes me think of freshly bloomed light pink roses, dainty rose, not the dark, burgundy ones. Not giving me rich or expensive vibes! The performance is underwhelming as I expected from Creed, moderate at best, with an intimate sillage. After 3 hours I cannot smell it at all on skin. It’s completely gone... As beautiful as it smells, I wouldn’t ever consider purchasing a bottle of Eladaria for Creed prices! The Delina are expensive but they last, Eladaria is expensive and doesn’t...I rest my case!!

Was given a sample of this from a friend who got it from Creed. Its definitely powdery throughout but not too dry, the rose is more of a creamy rose than fresh or green. There is a slight sweetness that pulls through but its just balanced. It's slightly soapy but in a good way. It's fresh and I think this would leave a lovely scent trail on the wind. I find it follows me around so definitely not going to fade after and hour or two. It smells very feminine and pretty. The musk is there but it's not overpowering. I am considering a purchase but will wait until spring kicks in first, and it could only be better then. I can't stop smelling myself tbh. I think its is beautifully balanced. I think Creed did well with this one 👏

Let me preface by saying scents will always be subjective. I don’t get the folks that criticize this so harshly (no pun intended lol) To ME, this smells SO beautiful! It’s like a pink cloud...fresh, airy, sweet but not cloying and yet so deliciously alluring 💕💕💕 It’s a top favorite and must-have in my collection. I hope they NEVER discontinue this and it becomes a household staple like Aventus or Millesime Imperial. It’s timeless and elegant and simply magical in the dry down! I catch myself sniffing myself all day when I wear it and just smile 😊. Bottom line, at the end of the day, don’t care about what others say/think, if you love a frag, get it and enjoy it for yourself and nobody else!

A bright, fresh, dewy, sweet peony and rose scent. With a sugar cookie touch! This is different from most rose centered scents because the peony is just, if not more, present and it’s very sweet, yet transparent and fresh. It doesn't get too powdery which means it doesn't lean into the usual mature rose vibe. Nor is it too aquatic - which is fairly overdone. Its a perfect balance and I'm super impressed this is from Creed. This is a rose fragrance for a young, modern yet sophisticated woman, and finally one that isn't just a Delina clone. I get great longetivity with this particularly on clothes. And its a wafter - its whips happily in the air leaving a trail for a good few hours.

I wish I didn’t love this perfume so much, because the price is genuinely painful. Eladaria feels like falling in love in a lush rose garden, where petals are heavy with dew and the air feels impossibly soft. The rose is tender, fresh, and velvety, unfurling gently against a backdrop of airy florals, subtle fruitiness, and delicate greenery. There’s a graceful sweetness that feels natural and refined, balanced by a clean, modern freshness that keeps it weightless. With each inhale, it becomes more mesmerizing. Romantic, elegant, and undeniably luxe, Eladaria is a love letter to timeless feminine beauty.

It smells NOTHING like Delina lol. People need to get their noses checked. This is a bright and fresh rose fragrance with a warm amber base. The rose is the main player throughout. This is very pretty, feminine and delicate, even. It's more of a designer fragrance than niche though IMO - in the sense that it smells like a basic rose designer fragrance and not something a niche house should put out, especially at this price point. Do I love it? Yes. But the DNA has been done before. Rose and Roses is similar and so is A La Rose by MFK both of which have better price points.

I think the "old-lady" remarks and general hate for this house are laughable... If you've ever sampled Creed's offerings then you've probably already discerned that they're clearly not for the youthful/hip crowd... they are for the more mature audiences that do not mind dropping $450+ on a fragrance during a stroll through the mall. If you cannot do that, then you are honestly not their target "nose..." Creed has been around for 250+ years, and does well at the counters- they know their market. Fragrantica is not it...

So pretty and feminine. I plan to pick this one up. It’s a great departure from my deeper fragrances that I typically wear. The opening feels very familiar, it reminds me of those Chloe fragrances (not claiming it to be a dupe) soft transparent rose & citrus opening, but what makes this fragrance even better is the warmth from the vanilla, amber and cashmere wood in the dry down that’s where the magic happens with this one. It envelops around me beautifully my skin loves this one.

This was not love at first sniff, but it’s now become an obsession. To me it smells like powdered sugar covered rose petals. It’s a little powdery and a little sweet but not too much of either. It’s a very comforting scent - something you could spray in the evening and cuddle up with a blanket and feel very cocooned. That being said, I think it’s wearable any time of day or year. Definitely feminine. I like to layer it with Diptyque Eau Rose to bring out the rose a bit more.

This definitely leans towards miss dior, a la rose and scent profiles of the sort! It's fresh, musky, clean rose type of scent. Absolutely beautiful and perfect for any event and even for work. I'll update you guys on the longevity after doing a full wear Edit: This lasts pretty much all day long and scents usually don't last on my skin. It stays on your clothing too until you wash them! I wish it wasn't so pricey so I could buy the full bottle

Eladaria has a satiny, sweet and dewy pink rose that is almost crystalline, but there is also an undercurrent of sweaty, salty, slightly animalic musk that makes the pink rose thicker, denser and chewier than in other more ethereal and innocent pink rose perfumes. It has a smooth, creamy almost unctuous quality to it I really enjoy. Eladaria lasts about 7 hours on skin but much, much longer on fabric. It has an arms length scent bubble.

Genuinely don’t understand the negative reviews for this one. I think it’s so beautiful, and the performance is fantastic! I wore it to a BBQ and someone told me they could smell me over the smoke. I think I will go easy on the trigger next time 😅 This is such an elegant, classy, sophisticated, feminine scent. The most beautiful rose. I am really glad to have it in my collection.

Super pretty, creamy & feminine. Nothing fresh here. Just airy, smooth & creamy goodness (same creaminess and vibe as in Kayali Fleur royale). The florals are bordeline mute on my skin, the cashmere wood reigns supreme, making this super cosy & creamy along with that vanilla, just chefs kiss. This is not a rose nor a floral scent (just a touch in the background). 9/10!
