It varies store to store, so not sure what your Niemans will carry. That I can tell, the high end niche companies make "exclusive" deals with stores based on geographic proximity to other high end stores. Here in LA, there is a stretch on Wilshire in Bev Hills with a Nieman, Saks and a Barneys within four blocks. Each store has certain scents exclusively.

Chances are, they will carry Creed. Personally, I'd recommend trying some of the older Creeds they may still have in stock that are being phased out quietly.

Vetiver 48
Baie de Genivre
Royal Scottish Lavender
Windsor

May also carry Tom Ford Private Collection. The must trys there;

Tobacco Vanille
Tuscan Leather
Oud Wood


Looking at your "likes" Windsor seems like something you might like.

Gonna be in the Vegas store. I think they have Ford and Creed a Christian

I sampled Fords Noir de Noir and it wasnt for me.

How do I tell an older Creed?

Gray cap, and I just listed several. The Creed rep will know too. Windsor is not technically old, but the run of batch two is winding down. It's an awesome scent.

Clive Christian is good, but $$$$$$. I love X for Men. The only one i caved on after trying to find a smell alike. C for Men has a lot of fans too (similar to Tuscan Leather). I think there is a new Clive Christian as well. Number One is a hoot. Even more $$$$$$$$$ Crazy male floral.

Neimans I've been to carry:

Creed: Check out the ones already mentioned.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Very good niche line. Many good frags IMO including APOM Pour Homme and Absolue Pour Le Soir.

Tom Ford: Tobacco Vanille is a must try. A lot of wetshaver types would also like Tuscan Leather.

I didn't even look at any Clive Christian because it's so expensive and I didn't want to fall for a scent that was so highly priced.

They have some good designers like Dior Homme and some Cartiers if you haven't tested those yet.

Do you like Dior Homme?

How refreshing. If you purchase a Creed fragrance, we will all be spared a "Is my Creed a fake" Thread. Thank you, and good luck with your purchase. By the way you have excellent taste in fragrances.

It's still #1 but I'm really starting to love DHI lately (not available at Neimans).

Agree with the buying from legit Creed vendor like Neimans so you know you're getting the real deal.
