Feuille Verte

Creed Feuille Verte, originally released in 2006 and then re-released in 2011 (both times as a limited edition), has been talked up as one of the best Creeds and I’m really quite taken with it, myself. It’s a citrus floral bouquet that’s densely arranged, feeling a bit more robust and less transparent than most offerings (many of which I love), and has a savory and soapy quality that makes it feel so well-though-out and refined. The note breakdown is a relatively simple list of mandarin, lime, oakmoss, vanilla, rose, and jasmine. I suspect the oakmoss/rose combination is what gives the fragrance more heft than some of its freshie counterparts, and renders it an instant classic in my book. I’m very impressed with this and would love to try and find an atomizer / 75ml of it at some point. It’s no slouch of a performer, either, giving fairly robust projection for several hours. 8 out of 10

Just acquired one of the limited edition flacons, and I must say this is truly astounding! This isn't a fragrance you would wear every day, but one I'd save for worthwhile occasions. You won't smell like everyone else, and it's a total winner for anyone who enjoys green fragrances -- this is a very elegantly stated green with the right amounts of jasmine, citrus and a dash of vanilla to balance it all out. Very classically Creed, finished well, definite Creed signature notes. I'd dare suggest that if you like Green Irish Tweed, you'll adore Feuille Verte. Classic in all senses of the word -- this is one they got absolutely right. Bravo!

Just received yesterday.reminds me of a walk in the leaves with your loved one on an overcast day. A little blast when you apply.longevity poor but what creed isnt. Don't buy it for longevity buy it because it puts you like most creeds the captain of the ship. Enjoy it's the real deal.

Powdery, green, citrus, rose, jasmine. Definitely feels a little fussy and staid, but it does manage to be pleasant and not overly heavy despite the aforementioned descriptors. "Feuille Verte" strikes me as a funny name, as there are quite a few aromachemicals that smell "leafy" and "green," and this smells like none of those. Definitely more citrus/moss/floral than anything. Definitely smells nice ON an outdoorsy walk, but this wouldn't be confused for anything except for perfume/a scent vs some photorealistic impression of nature. I feel as if lovers of Vintage Tabarome might enjoy this more floral, less overtly "masc" scent in a similar genre. Caron's Eau de Caron and Alpona give similar vibes--they're not exactly accessible per se, but decants of Eau de Caron can be found for decent prices!

I consider this a unique take on a modern chypre, with a bright citrus and floral opening. Bulgarian rose and lime accord create a stunning balance, offering a delicate masculinity. This soon gives way to a creamy vanilla and earthy oakmoss in the dry down. Subtle hints of fragrant jasmine pierce through, imparting the fragrance with a sweet and exotic scent. Obviously this is not for every man, as most will find the floral notes too feminine. Respectively, this is perfect for the modern, refined gentleman who can appreciate the finer things in life. Olivier Creed has created something very special here. (69)
