Hmm,

1. Spice & Wood

4. Original Vetiver (Vetiver Geranium should go here, but you didn't list it)
5. Silver Mountain Water (Royal Water should go here but you didn't list it)
6. Green Valley
7. Aventus
8. Tabarome
9. Jardine d'Amalfi
10. Milisime Imperial
11. Virgin Island Water
12. Erolfa

The best of all:

1. Green Irish Tweed -- I could wear this anytime, anywhere.

Great frag; can't wear it:

2. Jardin d'Amalfi

Great frags, but I have to think if it's suitable for the occasion:

3. Royal Oud
4. Tabarome
5. Aventus

A little flat and unsophisticated, but still nice:

6. Virgin Island Water
7. Viking
8. Himalaya
9. Silver Mountain Water
10. Erolfa
11. Neroli Sauvage

Disliking more with each day:

12. Bois du Portugal
13. Spice and Wood

Scent? What scent?

14. Millesime Imperial

I have to say that although I realize it may be an opinion you have, I just don't understand it on this scent. Viking is the most complex Creed fragrance, possibly out of their entire collection. There are so many notes in Viking that when it first came out people were mistakenly comparing it to a multitude of different fragances in different genres even. People were saying Oriental Spicy, Fougere, Woody, Minty, and more. How can that be 'flat'? Viking is the most 'alive' and variable and changing fragrance in the house's offerings. It's not my favorite, but it's definitely not boring.

Well perhaps, but the caveat to this conversation is always the qualification "...on my skin". I occasionally do spray frags on pocket squares, but I can't really buy (and judge) frags on potential, or how they might perform on other people, or on fabric. I've got the best results from Viking, by far, when I'm on vacation in a hot and humid tropical locale: the first time I tried it on vacation, I thought to myself "okay, so THAT'S what it's supposed to smell like!". But I live in a cold, arid place, and it doesn't really do much on my skin here. I love Creed for their complex scents and the way that they subtly change from opening blast through drydown, and I don't get that nearly as much as I do with GIT or Jardin d'Amalfi (which I don't wear well). GIT smells like GIT on me no matter where I am or the time of the year, and that versatility puts it on the top of the list for me.

Didn't add the ones I've only tried once, since I don't have enough of a grasp on them fully.

Viking reminds me of a flatter Old Spice. I really enjoy layering it with Royal Oud, very nice touch

Royal Water (wasn't on the list but I think this is beautiful)
erolfa
bois du portugal
himalaya
silver mountain water
virgin island water
original vetiver
aventus (I'm really torn on this as I really appreciate the beauty of it, but I smell it (or one of the many clones) everywhere ad nauseum)
millesime imperial
original santal


tabarome (the only one I actively dislike)
