For me, EROLFA is the greatest true Aquatic/oceanic fragrance ever. As in all time. It's simply a face full of realistic sea spray while sailing the Mediterranean sea. And to the question of what true aquatic/oceanic notes are in EROLFA, it's the real ambergris. Ambergris, ambergris, ambergris! Quality ambergris with the realistic marine smell, as opposed to the fecal ambergris smell. That quality of ambergris, for which Creed is known, is the olfactory analogue to holding up a sea shell to your ear and "hearing the ocean" inside the shell. This ambergris had been floating around in the ocean probably for decades, marinating in sea water, undergoing chemical changes until it literally smelled like the sea, fish scales and mermaid tails included. Calone is not a real aquatic/oceanic note. EROLFA is the greatest true aquatic/oceanic fragrance in history. The more popular Millesime Imperial is its sibling with the ambergris turned down and fruit turned up. It's a sailboat on the Mediterranean, but full of fruit which partially blocks that beautiful EROLFA sea spray in the face. MI's performance is not as good either. Thanks for reviewing EROLFA, the greatest true aquatic/oceanic fragrance in history.

@@user-rq7tt7qv6x I have Roja Oceania. Not 5x better. But I like Oceania, it's just that I actually classify Oceania not as an Aquatic/oceanic, but as what I call a "After the Rain" scent. Close to Aquatic/oceanic but not quite the same. Oceania smells more like the concrete of the marina just after a rain moved through the area. The petrichor. And Oceania does that very well. But it does NOT do the salty sea spray in the face once the boat leaves the marina as well as EROLFA. That's the difference between "After the Rain" freshie and Aquatic/oceanic.

I have a vintage 1992 Erolfa and I do like it - I follow the rules and wear it when I’m anywhere near the coast. Heavy on the ambergris, which I think helps, and it also might be what you’re not so sure of? Strangely enough, I’ve never experienced Millesime Imperial 🤔
@TheNicheFragranceCollector

I would love to smell the difference (if there is one) to the vintage one you have. I don't think it's the ambergris as I like the musky/salty tones that this note produces. For me I seem to be really susceptible to 'fruity notes'. A fragrance that carries any fruit, for me it really pops for some reason. But as mentioned once I start moving into the drydown that 'unusual' component subsides and I get to really enjoy this one.

I realise that this will be tough based on the fact that you're buying off ebay (with the seller being possibly in another state)....but anyway, that's my recommendation to avoid disappointment on your part.

With you on Millesime; I ***wish*** Millesime would push out more, it's barely a skin scent, and yes it does last and pop it's head up every now and then, and it is *sooooo* gorgeous, I have grown to love this sooo much, and you both have said, if *THIS* could perform like Aventus Cologne. Ironically I am actually wearing Millesime, one one arm it's one layered with Amborxan, and that absolutely ruined it. On the other arm it's layered ISO E Super, yes it projects a bit more, but ever so slightly alters the scent, other may not notice, but I do, and I wear Millesime for me, and not for the crowd, so depending on my mood I might wear it on it's own or layer it with a couple of spritses of ISO E Super, give it a go. I said I would not buy this bottle again due to performance, but I'm finding a hard time believing I won't. Anyway, based on this review Erolfa is off the list, m and based on you curiosity of me liking Viking or not, I might purchase Viking, not sure whether to go for the OG or the Cologne 🤔 Guys, thank you for a lovely review once again, and we have I'd say 75-80% similarity in tastes, if Erolfa is Citrus forward, then it's a no go, I'm having a citrus overload at the minute, Blenheim Bouquet from Penhaligon is to blame lol.

I've bought the book, awaiting its arrival. Lying as charged would be bad, but it would only effect me buying Creed frags with historical backstories, like Tabarome Millesime and Royal Mayfair. Two things the author contends in his research that stand out to me regarding my view of Creed scents: 1. Olivier Creed does not put a cost limit on the source materials that limits the perfumer, like all other houses in the bidding process for a fragrance. He essentially says use only the best ingredients. 2. The author says in talking to sources in Europe, the general consensus is that Olivier Creed is the best scent evaluator in the world, and has been for the last 50 years. Yep, I'll keep buying Creeds, but if I decide they've been lying about history and celebrity tie-ins, and they come out with a new absinthe fragrance that "was created for Claude Monet", I'll pass on it. P.S I tested an absinthe fragrance yesterday, L'Heure Verte by Killian, so I looked up absinthe and learned that it was a popular drink among artists of the late 19th century, including Monet. That's why I used that example. Lol. steemit.com/story/@godflesh/geniuses-inspired-by-the-drink-of-the-devil-absinthe

It's not so much that I change it, it has to do with my nerves😬 I find that when I film solo, I'm doing extra thinking and I naturally roll my 'R's' like crazy. But in these kind of episodes (and especially with someone like Josh who has a real Aussie accent), I'm a lot more relaxed and then I tend to mimic words that I hear during the filming. Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it😬 Great to hear from you @satisfactory3368

EROLFA no, to much marine. At times its weird, I pick up on a note that smells like urine 🤷🏻♂️ Keep smelling it and you'll pick up on it. People have told me the same. So weird but true. Oceania from Roja is so good. Imperial is really nice!

Interesting that you're picking up a 'pee' like smell.....haven't experienced this but now that this is in my brain will qualify next time I wear EROLFA. I'm yet to try Oceania...but hey, it's a Roja so you know it's going to work. Great to hear from you @D.....appreciate you jumping into the conversation

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Hey, not so much "mainstream" being an issue, ive tried a majority of them and the only two I can say I like is Royal Oud and Irish Tweed. Still cant bring myself to buy them. Thanks to your Memo video, I am awaiting for a sample of African Leather. Thanks.

Creed is a controversial House that obviously isn't for everyone. It's a "designer-esq" niche house that typically creates pleasing, non-challenging scent profiles, and that alone lowers its appeal to some, particularly the "Niche Snobs" or "Frag Snobs". That's OK because Creed jives with my philosophy, i.e. a fragrance can be as artsy, abstract, creative and even "challenging" as the creator(s) wants, but it better meet my first simple threshold requirement: that it be pleasant to smell. Too often "challenging" really means "smells bad". And Creed fragrances seem to contain really high quality ingredients. My favorites: Bois du Portugal Royal Oud Aventus Viking Green Irish Tweed Green Valley (discontinued) EROLFA Royal Water

Interesting that the Creeds don't resonate with you. The reason why I asked about being too mainstream is because they are so instantly appealing that most people when they migrate from designer fragrances seem to start with something in the Creed family.....hence some people feel that they're not 'niche' enough BTW African Leather is awesome (well in my opinion)....I'd be curious to know your take on this fragrance once it lands. Great to hear from you Jae

Whoa, I’m not getting that at all. Is this on the opening or dry down. Now that you suggested this, I’m going to spray and see if I’m feeling that too🤔
