It’s not quite ‘officially’ summer just yet. Although, it has been hotter than Hades, where I live for over a month now. As such, I thought that I’d get back into doing some seasonal type of posts, and start things off with Creed. Now, I’ve already done lists of the best overall men’s and women’s scents, from this designer; but let’s go ahead and narrow things down for the summer months, shall we? I have selected three perfumes from Creed’s lineup and presented them below in order of ‘best’.
What are the Best Creed Fragrances for Summer?
1. Creed Millesime Imperial Spray, 4.0 fl. oz.
Creed Imperial has a lemon and sea salt opening blend, which actually gives off a melon, sort of aroma. It is very fresh and salty, with the fruit ingredients being dominant throughout. However, as it moves along, more of the oceanic influence comes in, along with musk, and a light iris note.
This one is a great summer wear, as it just feels bright, dynamic, and like a day at the shore. The sillage isn’t heavy, but I’ve always gotten 7 hours of wear out of Imperial Millesime. This is my favorite one to wear in the warmer months. My original review.
2. Creed Silver Mountain Water Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.3 Ounce
Silver Mountain Water starts off with citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin orange. There is a black currant note in there, as well, but it becomes more noticeable later on to my nose.
Also later, the green tea note takes over, and this scent becomes a clean and green herbal fragrance with the citrus in the background.
The sillage isn’t super powerful with this one either, but you can overspray it pretty easily. Longevity was around 6 hours, on my skin. Silver Mountain Water Review
3. Creed Virgin Island Water Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.3 Fl Ounce
Virgin Island Water is some folks favorite Creed wear, during the summer months. For me, it is the third best, as I’m not as high on it. VIW opens with a citrus and rum accord, the citrus being bergamot and lime. I really like that opening blast, as it feels like sitting on a beach, with a tropical drink in hand.
When the coconut comes in heavier, this one starts to take on more of a suntan lotion aroma. Plenty of people enjoy that, I think that it is just okay. Virgin Island Water is built for the summertime, though, and for that it is an over nice choice for men or women. Virgin Island Water Review
So, those are my three choices for the best Creed perfume options for the summer. I know some people might expect Aventus to be on here, but I actually think that it performs at its worst, when it gets hot and humid out. I like that one a lot more in the autumn through springtime. These three options should yield an option for just about anyone looking to get into a Creed purchase.

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
