I guess my meaning isn't coming across well; I'm not meaning to imply there is anything wrong with Creed or critiquing your like for it. I've had lots of them, enjoyed most, though again, I was just offering the caveat to other members about price, other possibilities from niche houses, and the availability of some others on the market in varying strengths. A lot of other members might stop with Creed, given its status in the perfume world and how many people go on-and-on about GIT, and my posts were simply designed to say to them that while it is good to give it a try, also don't forget smaller niches like L'artisan, Malle, Montale, Parfum d'empire, Comme des Garcons series stuff, etc. Those parts of the post weren't really targeted at you, who obviously have done a lot of sniffing and know what you like. In any case, as to your OP, I had no problems with longevity with SMW. It lasted very well on me. But, then again, I even got fair longevity from Neroli Sauvage, which is notoriously fleeting on many. well moisturized, hydrated skin before application helps a lot.
