Eladaria
Eau de Parfum, Creed (2025)

For a woman's fragrance, this could easily be worn by the fellas. The way the rose and lily of the valley notes are blended is incredible. The musk note is what makes this unisex IMO. If I purchase for my wife, I could see myself wearing this just as much as her. She would have to watch her back on this one....Lol

This composition feels very overpriced. You’re better off going with something simpler but with more personality, like Kelly Calèche. You’ll still get a light rose, without the screechy edge that shows up here. The rose itself isn’t bad or dated. It leans clean, almost like rose water, and is softened with a touch of peony, which is perfectly fine. What really drags this down is the cashmeran and musk-heavy base. It comes across synthetic, rough, and borderline headache-inducing. For me, this is easily one of the weakest releases in their feminine line. Performance is decent since it lasts all day but I’d reserve it for cooler months, as the ambroxan-heavy base feels especially harsh in warmer weather. At this price point, it just isn’t worth it.

I like it, it reminds me of any of the powdery rose smells that would inhabit my greatest generation era grandmother's wardrobe. It has some cashmere in the base that really toughens it up in my opinion. I love rose and have no problem wearing this behind a handlebar mustache and ripped up t-shirt
