Delicious! 😀 It’s truly exquisite. I don’t know how to describe it better, but everyone should try it and delight themselves with this scent. What a great perfume!
It’s a heavyweight, for sure. The scent is delicious and well-crafted; I love the woods with spices and a touch of iris. The truth is, even though I compare it to Aventus, Spice & Wood has slipped into my second favorite Creed. Longevity is excellent, over 10 hours, with powerful projection for the first 3-4 hours. I highly recommend it for cold and cloudy days. 10/10.
I just bought the 8 oz special edition for 745 dollars and I have no regrets, I love it. It’s exquisite, elegant, romantic, intoxicating, bewitching; when I wear it, I’m a princess, transported to a beautiful old castle, as if a violin, harp, and piano orchestra were playing, all its notes forming a beautiful melody that bewitches and enchants anyone who perceives it. It’s like a fairy tale and queens. I know not everyone can afford it, but buy a sample to feel the beauty of this mysterious perfume. I bought it and gave myself this expensive gift; many criticized me, but I work hard and I deserve this charm. Life is just one thing.
In the opening, you smell the woods, then it quickly moves to spices; when it dries, the apple is noticeable with something else I can’t quite pin down, it’s not a classic cut like Aqua di Genova and it’s not worth what they’re asking.
The title gives it all away; no surprises. It starts fresh with bergamot and lemon paired with a tart, sugared apple, very pleasant. Then the spices emerge: pepper, clove, and angelica, giving it character and a kick. The iris is noticeable, a powdery, languid breeze, alongside a dominant cedar that dries and heats up this forest so much it feels slightly burnt and smoky from the birch. The moss and musk finish reads like a tanned vegetable leather, lightly sweet and acidic. Honestly, the composition doesn’t seem anything out of this world; the projection is light, and at an astronomical price, I don’t think it’s worth buying. Rating: 5.5
The title already says clearly what we’re in for, no surprises. The fresh opening of bergamot and lemon joins a sugary, acidic apple, soft but pleasant. Soon the spices appear: pepper, clove, and the angelica that adds character and heat; here the iris shows up with a powdery breeze, languid, which along with the dominant cedar wood dries and warms this forest so much that it feels a bit burnt, also smoked by birch. The final dry-down of moss and musk shows up with the character of a slightly sweet and acidic vegetable-tanned leather. I don’t know, but the composition doesn’t seem anything out of this world, the potency is quite light, and with an astronomical price, I don’t think it’s worth it. Rating: 5.5.
This is incredible; it’s an exact copy of French Lover by Malle. I ordered samples, and the Spice and Wood one interested me because of the name, which sounded great, and the good reviews, but I expected more. It’s basically an overdose of apple with a sweet, spicy touch, nothing special, and at that price, you’re left speechless. I kept testing my samples and bumped into the F Malle one; I apply it and say: ‘It smells just like SW by Creed!’ I check the label and I’m not confused (plus, French Lover came with the original box from the house, very cute, with the FM logo on dark brown, it opens like a matchbox with the 3.5 ml bottle, so they surely didn’t mess up). Are they twin brothers?? (try both if you can and see for yourselves; it’s more noticeable on skin than on paper). Now, who copied whom? Spice and Wood came out in 2010, French Lover in 2007, so that’s settled. If anyone wants to spend the over 400 dollars on a bottle of Spice and Wood, go ahead, but there’s a version with better longevity and a more reasonable price from Frederic Malle that’s worth it.
What a delight… The first impression wasn’t great; I bought it blind. The clove dominates everything, always on top, with a hint of pepper in the background. I tried to catch the green apple in the dry-down, but I never got it. One day, after shaving, I rinsed my face and, without drying off, applied the fragrance. What an unforgettable moment… It felt like the water droplets rubbing against my beard broke the clove and pepper’s hold, launching the top notes forward. I didn’t smell green apple, but rather many red apples. It seemed super gourmand, that smell of roasted red apples with cloves—I know that well: organic, perfumed apples with cloves embedded, bathed in melted piloncillo honey. The scent is incredible, the taste irresistible, just like my fragrance. Now, when I want to get everyone drunk all night, I repeat the routine on my chest: I don’t dry off after my nighttime shower, and with the remaining water, I make myself an Eau de Cologne that floods me with peace while I sleep and wakes up with me. My wife didn’t like it at first; she thought it was too spicy and woody; now she loves it. Good longevity, excellent scent.
Gourmand scent? Exact copy of French Lover? 🤔… Spice & Wood is a perfume with very light spicy cedar, citrus in the opening, and a slightly sweet apple. The composition is very light, like a cologne. It’s classic-atemporal, the kind of perfume your father would wear, neat. Does it smell good? Yes, but it’s nothing to lose your mind over. It’s not original and you feel like you’ve smelled it before with other brands. It’s very watery-bodied, it lacks punch 🥊, and the performance is modest (and I’m being generous). 🖋 The fact that it’s accompanied by apple doesn’t make it gourmand under any circumstances, and it has nothing to do with French Lover, which is very “herbaceous-spicy” with a distinguished character. In construction, both “resemble” each other by having woods and spices in a classic cut, but in scent they are very different. Spice & Wood is very soft, refined, and light. Linear and elegant for daytime use. I think an option that surpasses it in performance and projection, following the atemporal line, would be a Royal Oud from the same brand (woody oud, not resinous, very aromatic, and cheaper). Another option: Cedre Blanc from Creed, with very marked cedar, fresh and clean at half the price. Spice & Wood could belong to the Acqua Originale line, but since it’s “Les Royales Exclusives,” the price of over 500 dollars for 75 ml is hard to swallow. The presentation with a 10K gold bath and engraving is nice, but in the end, the bottle… you’re not going to wear it hanging. Dry score: 7/10.
Creed Spice & Wood has seemed to me a frankly delicious aroma, of excelsior quality, balanced like few others, with presence, but I don’t think it costs 500 euros as its average price. It opens with citrus and apple that, unlike the usual, are lifted by the middle and base notes, which stay present and become dense with birch wood or clove (what I feel most), giving a dark, creamy, sweet, and perfectly balanced look. The evolution is linear and doesn’t need more; it’s frankly rich, unisex, refined, versatile, and with good performance on skin (you have to test it on skin, as it changes a lot compared to paper). I’d be happy to own it, but I think it would be better to look for similar or better alternatives before spending such a fortune on 75 ml of a delicious but not irreplaceable aroma, although immense respect is due to those who appreciate quality and believe it’s worth it. Note: 9.5/10 for scent, 7/10 for the price concept.

For me, it’s one of the best fragrances I’ve ever smelled. Exquisite aroma, elegant, versatile, addictive, fresh, clean, pleasant, and fulfilling. The best of CREED. 100% recommended. Is it expensive? Of course it is, but you fall in love with it.
Today I went big game hunting. Let me explain why Spice and Wood is one of the best perfumes created, or at least accessible today for those willing to pay its price. But first, let me rant about Creed. I’ll be brief: I don’t have a good relationship with them. By quality and beauty, they should be in my collection, but I only have two: Spice and Wood and Erolfa (by God, I hate that name). The reason is that I don’t tolerate being lied to. Creed is a great lie: they haven’t been making perfumes father-to-son since the 18th century, they didn’t move to Paris because of Napoleon III, they haven’t created more than 200 perfumes, and Oliver Creed is not the creator of the bestsellers everyone knows. I understand that brands embellish their products with myths, like Rolex with its sports watch. But inventing a fanciful legacy, appropriating formulations without compensation, and selling them to a private equity fund to fill their pockets with someone else’s hard work goes beyond what’s fair. Back to Spice and Wood. There are thousands of perfumes, so many that coming out with a new one seems like adding a drop to the ocean. But some give a “turn”: they change course and transform. Spice and Wood starts soft with darkened apple and pepper; in an amateur’s hands it would be sharp and sweet, but here there’s a subtle lavender that gives a sense of obscene luxury barbershop, nothing like a neighborhood dive. Heading toward an aromatic fougere, comes the turn: the chrysalis becomes a butterfly. It brings out spices and cedar toward a soft woodiness, almost creamy, a candied wood with spices that we could spread on bread thanks to the sweetness of the musks. Creed’s musks are on another level; I don’t know where they get them, but I haven’t seen any that come close. It belongs to a select group that stands out in aroma, originality, opening, complexity, and quality. But even in that minority, Spice and Wood stands out. An elegant, spicy men’s fragrance with great technical complexity and excellent ingredients. Who created it? According to Fragrantica, Oliver Creed. Ha, ha, ha. What a joke. If it wasn’t Pierre Bourdon, it would be some disciple like Hérault or Rasquinet, but I’d bet on Bourdon. A work of art doesn’t come from mean hands; only a genius can conceive something like this.
We went hunting today. I’m going to explain why Spice & Wood is one of the best perfumes created, or at least accessible today, for anyone who has the money. But first, a complaint about Creed: I don’t have a good relationship with them. For quality and beauty, they should have more in my collection, but I only have two: this one and Erolfa (I hate that name). The reason is that I don’t tolerate lies. Creed is a great lie about its origins, its legacy, and Oliver Creed. I understand that brands use myths, like Rolex with its sports watches, but appropriating formulas and selling them to a investment fund is too much. Back to the perfume: there are thousands of fragrances, but some give the ‘twist’. Spice & Wood starts soft with dark apple and pepper, but instead of being sweet, it smells like a luxury barbershop and elegant. Then the twist appears: it pulls spices and cedar into a soft woodiness, almost creamy, like candied wood thanks to the musks. Creed’s musks are on another level, unique. It belongs to that select group that stands out in scent, originality, opening, and complexity. It’s a masculine jewel, spicy and technical. Who created it? According to Fragrantica, Oliver Creed. Ha, ha, ha. If it wasn’t Pierre Bourdon or his disciples, I don’t believe it. A work like this doesn’t come from mean hands. Only a genius can do this.
I had it on a sample. At first, on my skin, it smells strong, more like an older person, but over time, the cedar and apple notes appear with spicy touches. It’s a moderate fragrance; I used it twice a day. I never tried it in winter; maybe it changes a bit.
I think it’s one of the best perfumes I’ve ever tried. It’s true that the trail, even after three sprays, doesn’t generate a force field around you, but why is that necessary? It seems we want to smell it constantly; that’s fixed if others wear it or we dab it on a handkerchief to smell whenever we want. What interests me is to smell like this without invading spaces, without shouting. If someone gets close, they’ll know what I want to smell. I don’t shout, I don’t scream. I understand that people pay to be heard loud and clear, but that’s not my case; I pay so only those who are paying attention hear me.
This fragrance is beautiful. What more could I say?
Amazing perfume. It’s in my top 10. Yes, it’s expensive and quite so.
When it dries down, the base reveals an accord similar to Aventus: patchouli with birch and perhaps a barely perceptible touch of leather.
Creed Spice & Wood: To me, this is the fragrance that best captures the English style, with that impeccable taste for elegance and sophistication, like a bespoke suit. It smells very herbal from start to finish, with that cold green vibe, like a rainy winter day, always fresh. Suddenly, the other notes appear in harmony: a delicate iris that marks territory without imposing, aromatic and elegant cedar, and bergamot as if freshly cut. It’s super aromatic, herbal, and exquisitely fresh; sometimes it smells like pine, comforting and very serious and refined. In my opinion, it’s for adults—not stuffy, but for people with great personality who want to make a statement at important events. Very classy; it could be James Bond’s perfume. Creed shows its superior level in raw materials, olfactory luxury, and quality that costs money. Magnificent, but only for a select audience or those who can afford the high price. Scent: 11. Projection: about 2 hours. Longevity: 7 hours. Recommended (if you can afford the luxury).
In my opinion, Creed Spice & Wood is the closest representation to the English style: elegant, sophisticated, and with that good taste that always stands out in their bespoke suits. I feel it very herbal from start to finish, with that cold green, like a rainy and fresh winter. Suddenly, the secondary notes appear in harmony: a delicate and fine iris that marks its territory without imposing, aromatic and elegant cedar, and bergamot that smells like freshly cut peel. It’s extremely aromatic, herbal, and of exquisite freshness, similar to a pine, comforting and serious. To my taste, it’s a mature cut, not noble, but for men and women with great personality who give it the appropriate presence. It’s not for any situation, but for important events. Very classy, it could be James Bond’s perfume. Creed shows its superior level in raw materials; it’s olfactory luxury and an imposing creation that proves quality costs. Magnificent, although only for a select audience or those willing to pay the high price. Scent: 11/10. Projection: a bit more than 2 hours. Longevity: 7 hours. Recommended (if you can afford it).
