The most popular Creed women’s scent is Aventus for Her, a fruity and sophisticated fragrance launched as the feminine counterpart to the iconic Aventus for men. It features top notes of green apple, bergamot, and lemon, with a blend of pink pepper for a spicy kick.

The other scents in the Classic Sample Inspiration Gift Set aren’t to be missed, either. Among the other scents is Acqua Fiorentina, a fruity fragrance with berry and melon notes that is sweeter and more feminine than some of Creed’s other scents,
Here’s every perfume found inside the Classic Sample Inspiration Gift Set:
Aventus For Her Eau de Parfum: This scent is a fresh and fruity fragrance, bursting with zesty green apple, bergamot, and blackcurrant that evolves into an opulent floral heart and sensual woody base of sandalwood and ambergris.Acqua Fiorentina Eau de Parfum: This fragrance evokes the balmy Italian countryside with a sophisticated fruity-floral freshness, blending crisp greenage plum and sparkling apple with citrus notes over a warm base of cedar and sandalwood.Wind Flowers Eau de Parfum: This perfume captures the graceful motion of a dancer through a sparkling floral bouquet, opening with sweet jasmine and zesty Tunisian orange blossom softened by peach, and settling into a warm haze of tuberose, rose, sandalwood, and creamy praline.Love In White Eau de Parfum: This scent is a sophisticated and powdery floral-fresh scent inspired by a Provencal spring breeze, harmonizing Italian orange zest and magnolia with Bulgarian rose, Florentine iris, and a creamy base of Madagascan vanilla and sandalwood.Spring Flower Eau de Parfum: This fragrance is a playful celebration of feminine energy in a quintessential English garden, where succulent peach and juicy fruits mingle effortlessly with delicate jasmine, white flowers, and a sensual embrace of musk and ambroxan.
Elsewhere, the Jo Malone London Scent Layering Kit is available for £45 from John Lewis. The set features three discovery-sized colognes (Grapefruit Cologne, Peony & Blush Suede Cologne, and English Oak & Hazelnut Cologne) that are designed to be worn together to create a unique sillage.

Alternatively, the Maison Margiela Replica Memory Box Perfume Set has been reduced by 20% at Sephora. Now available for £28.80 instead of £36, the set is composed of 10 of the brand’s most popular scents and is designed to ‘ evokes memories and emotions that echo the collective unconscious’.
Back at John Lewis, the Classic Sample Inspiration Gift Set boasts an overall star-rating of 4.6 out of five based on more than 60 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “At a good price for Christmas or a birthday. Good samples before you buy the real thing which are a lot more expensive.”
A second wrote: “My husband and I have been using Creed perfume for over 30 years and this beautiful selection is a wonderful introduction for anyone to try some of Creeds most popular. I’ve purchased both male and female sets on a number of occasions as gifts, which have always been very well received. They are ideal for short trips away too.”

“I bought this sample box for my daughter to try which one she likes for her to wear on her wedding day,” a third penned. “What a great idea to be able to try which one you like the best. She loved it so much she’s buying her husband to be the men’s to try so they can have matching perfume/ aftershave for their special day.”
One shopper, however, hailed the Classic Sample Inspiration Gift Set as ‘disappointing’ and gave it a two-star review. It reads: ” Unfortunately none of these scents worked for me. None smell anything like the male version of Creed, not even a hint which is what I was hoping for so very disappointing for me.
These are Eau De Parfum but the scent is short lived unlike the male version which you can smell all day long with just one squirt. However it does make a nice gift for Christmas or a birthday for those who do like the women’s version of Creed scents..”
But another loved their latest John Lewis purchase, adding: “Ordered these for a present for my sisters birthday, she loved them . They came in a nice presentation box and she loves all the fragrance samples – so nice to take out in a handbag rather than a big bottle.”
