Inspiration / Dupe

This fragrance is often discussed in fragrance communities as sitting in the same general profile vibe as Creed Centaurus — especially due to its spice plus sweet amber tonka/vanilla backbone — though it’s not officially claimed as a clone by the brand. 

Notes (short)

Top Notes:

Cinnamon, Pink Pepper, Cardamom 

Heart Notes:

Patchouli (and sometimes Heliotropin reported by wearers) 

Base Notes:

Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Benzoin 

What it smells like

Crimson opens with a bold spicy warmth — cinnamon and pink pepper give it an energetic, vibrant start, supported by aromatic cardamom. As it evolves, a woody‑patchouli heart adds depth and richness, while the base wraps the scent in creamy vanilla, tonka bean and warm benzoin. The result is a spice‑driven gourmand that feels cozy yet confident, with a balance of sweetness and warmth that’s both addictive and sophisticated. 

Community wearers often talk about a soft powdery or almond‑like nuance emerging on the mid and dry‑down, adding to the scent’s comforting richness without losing its spicy edge. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — commonly 6–10+ hours on skin and even longer on clothes for some wearers.  
• Sillage: Moderate — noticeable without overwhelming.  
• Projection: Strongest in the first phase with the spice and warmth, softening into a comfortable, cozy dry‑down.  

Many users mention that letting the fragrance macerate (rest) after purchase improves the smoothness and richness of the vanilla and benzoin in the base. 

Best for

• Fall & winter wear — the warm spice and amber base shine in cooler weather.  
• Evening & date nights — bold, warm presence makes an impression.  
• Casual to semi‑formal occasions — versatile but rich enough to stand out.  
• Fans of spicy gourmand fragrances — especially those who like warm cinnamon, vanilla, and tonka bean profiles.
