If you're looking to exude an extravagant scent, you might want to familiarize yourself with these perfumes.

      It may sound unusual, but I like to sort my perfumes into categories based on the feelings they evoke. While some people categorize their collections by fragrance type, like gourmands or ouds, my perfume collection is influenced entirely by my emotional state. I have specific scents that I wear when I need an energy boost, feel empowered, or want to have some fun. On days when I feel polished and stylish, aiming to embody my most luxurious self, I always choose a fragrance from Creed. In my view, Creed is the pinnacle of the fragrance industry, akin to the Rolls-Royce of perfumes. This prestigious fragrance house has been around for over 250 years and is cherished by royalty. Each scent radiates an aura of old-money elegance, offering a selection of artisan fragrances for every taste. While the notes may vary, one constant is that each fragrance carries an air of luxury.

      I've sampled several of Creed's most sought-after perfumes. The drawback? They also come with quite a steep price. Though I genuinely believe that each scent is a worthwhile investment, there's nothing worse than saving for a fragrance only to find it doesn't suit you. Fortunately, I've tried some of Creed's most popular offerings and have compiled my top recommendations below. I've included details about each fragrance's scent profile, so you can make an informed choice before making a purchase. You can thank me later.

      The Best Creed Perfumes

      Best Fresh Perfume: Creed Silver Mountain Water

      Best Floral Perfume: Creed Eladaria

      Best Fruity Perfume: Creed Aventus for Her

      Best Sensual Perfume: Creed Queen of Silk

      Best Oud Perfume: Creed Oud Zarian

      1. Creed Silver Mountain Water

      Best Fresh Fragrance

      Key Notes: Bergamot, mandarin, neroli, sea scent, green tea, blackcurrant bud, sandalwood, musk

      First on my list is my personal favorite from the brand. This scent is perfect for any time of the year and serves as the ultimate mood enhancer, inspired by mountain air and alpine streams. It opens with bright notes of bergamot, mandarin, and neroli. These citrus notes are enriched by a salty scent that evokes a refreshing seaside stroll, complemented by a touch of green tea that adds an earthy quality. It's like a breath of fresh air, grounded by a base of sandalwood and musk that brings understated luxury to the entire fragrance.

      2. Creed Eladaria

      Best Floral Fragrance

      Key Notes: Mandarin, pink pepper, rose, lily of the valley, peony, cashmere wood, vanilla, musk

      If you prefer floral scents, Eladaria should definitely be on your radar. It's one of the most quintessential fragrances in the collection, making you feel like you’ve plunged into a bed of pink petals or walked into an old Parisian powder room. The sweetness of rose and peony is perfectly balanced with lingering notes of cashmere wood and musk that create a sensuous aroma on the skin. It’s incredibly sophisticated, yet playful and enticing.

      3. Creed Aventus for Her

      Best Fruity Fragrance

      Key Notes: Green apple, violet leaf, pink pepper, bergamot, rose, sandalwood, peach, cassis, ylang-ylang, amber

      When I need a boost of confidence, Aventus for Her is my go-to fragrance. It’s like that reliable black blazer in your closet that makes you feel chic and composed—this perfume has the same effect. The blend of juicy fruits, intoxicating florals, and fresh citrus notes creates a strong, intricate, and feminine scent that leaves a lasting impression well after you've left the room. It's a timeless fresh fragrance.

      4. Creed Queen of Silk

      Best Sensual Fragrance

      Key Notes: Chinese osmanthus, magnolia, saffron, tuberose, patchouli, vanilla, incense, myrrh, musk

      Typically, this is my choice for date nights because I can't resist its sweet and seductive scent. Wearing it feels like slipping into a slinky, shimmering dress on freshly moisturized skin before heading out for a cocktail. The fragrance unfolds in layers, starting with a soft, creamy note of Chinese osmanthus, quickly complemented by the sweetness of magnolia. Patchouli and incense introduce a deeper complexity, culminating in a musky, smoky base that leaves you feeling entranced.

      5. Creed Oud Zarian

      Best Oud Fragrance

      Key Notes: Bergamot, frankincense, ginger, rose, oud, patchouli, sandalwood, myrrh, liquorice root, tonka bean

      I was introduced to this fragrance by Who What Wear's beauty director Shannon Lawlor, and since then, I can’t shake it from my mind. "A deep, wintery delight, Creed Oud Zarian is a fragrance to consider for the autumn/winter season," Lawlor tells me. "As someone who doesn't usually wear oud (I find
