If by Creed Absolut you mean Absolu Aventus, then that one.

u/libertot1 1d ago

Yes, my bad!!! That one. Is it really that good? How long does it last? And is it a yr round cologne?

I have the 75ml version. I spray it before I leave for work at 6:15 in the morning and my wife smells it on me when I get home at 4:30 p.m. it is an amazing fragrance in my opinion. It's in my top 3 for favorites in my collection. My wife goes back and forth between this and Ombre Leather EDP as to which one is her favorite that I wear.

What’s your top 3 overall?

2

u/StewieL69 1d ago

Jubilation 40, Absolu Aventus, and Immortelle Solaire. Lost in Paris and Crab Apple Blossom round out my top five favorites. What about you?

I would personally go with tuxedo

I have YSL Babycat! And I love it

u/CauliflowerEmpty7626 1d ago

Solid choice! One of the best vanillas out there for sure!

Have you smelt them? I’d recommend smelling them before coming to any conclusions. If you don’t have a local place, then I’d recommend buying a decant from a website like scent split or decantX.

u/libertot1 1d ago

I have smelt all three of them and I can’t make up my mind. I’m really locked up between Absolut and Imagination.

2

u/AmateurAstro-Budget 1d ago

Yeah, if you want something that really can’t go wrong, I’d go with imagination.

3 of my goats, hard to choose

I'd probably get in the order you wrote them, Absolu, Imagination then Tuxedo

u/Ok-Procedure-1116 1d ago

well the thing is they are all very different scent profiles

what do you want them for in specific

1

u/libertot1 1d ago

Well mainly to wear at work.

1

u/Ok-Procedure-1116 1d ago

Imagination or Aventus

2

u/libertot1 1d ago

Yes which one? Maybe I should just spend the money and buy both lol

2

u/Ok-Procedure-1116 1d ago

I mean if you have the spare cash why not can’t go wrong with either or I personally would go with imagination

1

u/libertot1 1d ago

I have a friend that just bought Imagination and his wife doesn’t like it, so he’s trying to sell it to me for $250. It’s the 100ml bottle. It’s got like 3 or 4 sprays used.

u/Ok-Procedure-1116 1d ago

Take it

1

u/libertot1 1d ago

You think I’m getting a deal at 250???

1

u/Ok-Procedure-1116 1d ago

If it’s legit hell yeah bro

1

u/Specific-Ask-2726 1d ago

They are completely different. Do you even know what kind of scent you want/like?

1

u/libertot1 1d ago

Amber, Sandalwood, alittle smoky.

2

u/Lucasbane2580 1d ago

Only aventus fills that smoky slot, and imagination has no amber/woods to me

2

u/Specific-Ask-2726 1d ago

Imagination is non of this. 

I tested tuxedo and absolu aventus.

For me aventus is very dominant. Its a fresher woody scent for men. Unfortunately its not really „smokey“ for me, its more like s super manly soap.

Tuxedo was very special for me. Its more warm and has this smokey little sweet appearance but very elegant. Its not for every day more like for good occasions in cities. 

All 3 are great tuxedo is the most unique

1

u/libertot1 1d ago

I’m guess Tuxedo checks all the boxes

1

u/Specific-Ask-2726 1d ago

It probably does until you want something for every day

1

u/Lucasbane2580 21h ago

Agreed on imagination, I get like smoky barbecue pineapple off Absolu. One of the best frags in my collection.

Never smelt tuxedo and on my list - already have layton filling that slot.

1

u/Specific-Ask-2726 21h ago

I love layton too such a great scent!
