Description
This invigorating fragrance is an ode to the Creed family’s happy memories of sailing the Mediterranean. The name “Erolfa” is formed from the letters of their names.
ER stands for Erwin CREED, the only son of Olivier CREED. Erwin is the seventh generation and future head of the House of CREED. OL stands for Olivia, Mr. CREED’s only daughter and a talented visual artist who works for the company. FA stand for Fabienne, Erwin’s and Olivia’s mother.
This fresh marine fragrance evokes the joy of sailing on the high seas. The notes includes citrus fruits and bergamot in the top, herbal notes in the heart and ambergris in the background. Erolfa was launched in 1992. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Creed Sixth Generation.
marhun – :
One of lesser know Creeds. Best worn a warm early fall day or an end of spring coolish evening event.
Opens up with a whiff of citrus which continues on towards the middle where slightly herbal note develop. Base is surprisingly fresh mint and marine note with fimiliar ambergris getting stronger towards the end close to Creed royal water DNA albeit more floral.
Best comparison may with Devidof cool water which is slightly fresher and Acqua di Parma blue Mediterraneo which is has a stronger citrus notes.
All in all a good one to wear but not a huge a compliment getter.
May need 4 to 5 puff for good silage and last your about 7 to 8 hrs.

Erolfa is a scent that leaves its mark. It Reminds the Mediterranean summer. A bergamot that prevails over everything and in my opinion there is a note that fragrantica has not reported or the marine note. It is perceived together with bergamot. The fragrance costs what it costs but it is worth it all. In the summer it’s a sure shot. Until now the Creed perfumes have never disappointed me (except for the price and the persistence). Great!

I purchased a sample and wore for a day to work. Erolfa started out very citrusy but it mellowed and dried into something remarkable. I love it! I just wish it lasted longer. Three out of the four Creed fragrances I own last from the moment I put it on before work (5:30am) till I get home 12 hours later. I wish Erolfa did too. For the price I need to decide if something that only lasted 3 hours is worth the cash. Beautiful fragrance without longevity unfortunately.
powershotsx210isx – :
Erolfa. Creeds red headed step child. This stuff is way underrated. It’s salty citrusy goodness in a bottle. I don’t understand why all the bad comments on performance? This performs real well on me in the horrible heat and humidity down in SW Florida. I dare to say that all the bad reviews here are from folks that have never really given it a chance or are more into “thick” beastly middle eastern style stuff. My lady digs this on me. It’s extremely clean smelling and honestly longevity and sillage are not bad at all for this genre.
gazylka – :
Weird, sour floral/citrusy thing. Not for me but I could see how some might like it. It’s not something you smell everyday, that’s for sure…
dimons888 – :
For me, I could smell quite a strong floral scent along with citrus upon first spray. Once the dry down kicked in, this turned fantastic! It turned slightly sweet but with a clean green smell and some wood notes to give it that extra push. At first I thought this was a very unisex scent, now I’m not so sure, but one thing I am sure on is that this is very much a clean, Creed scent and I love it!
disi109 – :
When I tested this at Saks for the first time a half a year ago, I thought to myself “wow that much money for something that smells like a 7$ body spray from the drug store”? I Can honestly say I was pretty disappointed because I was really getting into Creed as a perfume house. I even took the time to come on here and leave a sort of dreary review about it.
BUT…
Then I gave Erolfa a chance. I told myself to keep and open mind and give it a full wearing.
Fast forward to the this summer and it is now my signature scent. I wear it everyday and I adore it.
@picknenders left a comment saying “This WILL grow on you over time”. And I’m glad I listened because this is what a “marine” fragrance is all about.
Bright, refreshing top notes of Lime, Lemon and Bergamot.
Heart notes of Sandalwood, Pine and Caraway and Pepper.
And the pièce de résistance… the dry down… One of the most remarkable dry downs I’ve ever laid my nose on. (Olivier Creed is a wizard in that regard).
Creeds’ signature Ambergris, and a well balanced Musk, with the rest of the notes gently fading out but still providing a body.
Released in 1992 making it one of the few early men’s “aquatic” fragrances to hit the market. I can understand why people wouldn’t be turned on to this at first glance. But time and time again I’m seeing comments, reviews, and videos of people all saying the same thing… “how did I walk right pass this “?.

atinspac – :
A more bright and slightly more floral Himalaya.
I find this fragrance has the sourness of citrus, like a lemon. That is perhaps the most interesting aspect of this fragrance. I find this soft, slightly floral, slightly aquatic and almost pretty smelling.
I find this unisex but better on a mid aged women in the spring.
This fragrance could have used some soft lavender and hay, for a countryside fragrance or more grapefruit and the smell of linen for something more of a old timey city with clothes drying outside.
I find this fragrance needs some more character.
3 to 5 hours longevity moderate and then weak performance. I cannot justify the price and buy this,
apahi – :
Creed is a favorite house in fragrances especially for bright uplifting scents, I’m sure they need no introduction.
Many people use the term “creed DNA” when describing their fragrances, it’s like an artist’s signature on their painting. To me, what people are describing is the clean ambergris. The house uses quality white ambergris as a backbone in many of their creations and it shows. Erolfa to me has more of the treasured ambergris in a much higher dose; this creates a clean sea breezy, melony vibe. With some added lemon, Bergamot, musk, oakmoss melon, cedar, green notes, and sandalwood, you’ve got yourself a daydream on a yacht ⛵, cruising on a perfect sunny day.
klsk – :
Erolfa is one of my top favorite Creed’s! There is something about it that is truly remarkable! While the scent is beautiful, there are some flaws about it. One of them being mainly the performance. Initial whiff of the trigger is this beautiful summer scent of lime, melon, and something musky, masculine at it’s finest for a summer scent. Initial spray you get that beautiful mixture again. I find with Erolfa, my nose goes blind shortly after application. Smelling my arm up close, doesn’t do much justice, and I find you can’t smell a thing. The sillage is very quiet, you will get whiffs occasionally, but it does not radiate. It sits to the skin very close, I find the only way to improve it would be wearing a unscented body lotion to help it out, or extreme heat and your body would help emit it better.
Overall, a great scent for summer.
8.5/10
Liafaccousa – :
Heaven.
It has the same DNA of mellisime imperial but with different approach and a much heavier ambergris dose.
The drydown is super beautiful with the best signature creed woody/ambergris base among the millesime lineup.
I heard a lot of complaints regarding EROLFA’s longevity but surprisingly it is one of the longest lastig creeds on my skin, the drydown is still detectable after 10 hours on my skin.
Underrated big time among the rest of creeds.
dracula33 – :
It starts off with a lot of lime and melon, and reminds me of aquatic fragrances from the 90’s. There is a sort of slight metallic accord in this that reminds me of Creed Silver Mountain Water. But it’s far lighter than SMV, and more airy. This is a unisex fragrance but leans a bit feminine to my nose. On the drydown I get mostly the same ozonic character of the opening with melon, some white flowers, and lime with a bit of salt. Sillage is moderate (on the weaker side) and longevity is moderate leaning strong. Overall, this is ok but I’m not really blown away by the aroma. I’m sure it was groundbreaking in the day but it is too reminiscent of basic 90’s aquatics in my opinion. Although I’m a fan of the aquatic genre, they have to stand out from all the generic ones for me to be interested. In any case, this basically defines “inoffensive” and is pleasant; just not something that stands out from the crowd.
3.5/5
e008ee – :
Viewing last two reviews i wanna bet they don’t own/use erolfa for its purposes…
It is a safe but georgeous scent ideal for Spring and Summer…. lemony seabreazy scentgasm….
Orange_Fox – :
I generally like Creed fragrances, but I don’t like this one. To me it smells like a horrible, cheap candy I used to get when I was a child.
tanuyhca_84 – :
I wanted to love this one, but after dry down, this smells almost exactly like GIT with maybe a touch more citrus. So for my money, it’s definitely not worth owning both. The top and middle notes are a little screechy (lemony citrus) and almost off-putting. Also, I get absolutely zero marine. Seems like the power of suggestion at work here.
If GIT didn’t exist, I’d probably feel much more positive about it, but in comparison, it’s a slightly less enjoyable flanker to GIT, so why spend money on both?
alex0805 – :
Here’s my best attempt at my logical, black and white review of creed erolfa: for those who appreciate scents that are “deconstructable” – meaning you can recognize and appreciate individual aspects of the scent – this is up there with the best. For those who appreciate “a smooth blend” – this may not be for you.
In my opinion, this is one of the best creeds that is still accessible.
This is masculine.
This is classy and classic.
This is not old school.
This WILL grow on you over time.
This may not be love at first sniff.
This is a must have scent.
riscelika – :
Finally got a sample of this and I was a little underwhelmed if I’m being 100% honest. Erolfa isn’t horrible by any means but I definitely wouldn’t pay $20 let alone full retail for this juice and also in the base it’s very similar to Creeds Millesime imperial.
This opened up with some tart,sharp citrus with a lot of pepper in the background and once it dried down it smelled like a sharp,citrusy,breezy sea like scent. I do have to say this did remind me of being by the sea so I’ll give it points for that but I have cheap aquatic scents that I prefer over this.
Performance was actually really good as this lasted 6-8 hours but only projected moderately for pretty much the duration of the fragrance, When I wore this I would constantly get whiffs of this but it never got overbearing which I also liked as this the type of performance I prefer in fragrances.
Overall rating —-6.5 out of 10 ! Decent scent that has good performance for a summer scent but the smell I don’t hate but I definitely won’t choose this over any of even my second shelf fragrances.
Andlusha – :
From the website:
This oceanic fragrance is an ode to Creed family memories of sailing the Mediterranean: invigorating seas, salty air, and citrus-scented breezes. Not only is Erolfa a blend of nauticalinspired notes, the unique name is a mix of each family member’s name: Erwin, Olivier’s only son and perfumer protégé (ER); Olivia, Olivier’s daughter (OL); and Fabienne, Erwin and Olivia’s mother (FA). The result is Erolfa, an uplifting scent destined to make memories all its own.
Classification:
Marine/Fresh
Notes as per Creed’s website:
Top note:Bergamot, lemon, orange, violet, cumin, basil, rosemary, melon
Middle note: Cyclamen, jasmine, ginger, coriander, pepper
Base note: Cedarwood, sandalwood, moss, amber, musk
My impression of EROLFA:
EROLFA to me is not a scent, but it’s a journey. A voyage. On the sea. Towards the unknown.
It opens up with a salty sea breeze of freshness with pronouncing the bitter bergamot and the zesty lemon. The opening is fresh as sunshine; with a cool breeze that brings the smell of sea salt you feel on your face, a lime cocktail in your hand with a pinch of cool, probably the basil.
Once the citrus settles down a bit you can start smelling the fresh cut melons in a bowl near while you’re still slowly sipping the cocktail in the sun. The fruity notes in it doesn’t smell like a fruit salad with creams fruity but smells like the fruit vendor on the sea beach fruity.
After awhile you’ll notice the faint spicy peppery heart is becoming prominent. And with it the citrus becomes subtle and the signature Creed’s DNA, the ambergris pops out.
It becomes softer after 2 hours or so but not as soft as a skin scent.
At this point you can barely smell the zesty bitter citrus. The salty vibe however still plays hide and seek peeping out between the ambergris, spices and the woods. Sweet, moist cedarwood. The combination of musk and cedarwood keeps it clean till the very end. The ambergris is done right in this one, in adequate amount, not too overpowering to cast a shadow on the woods and the musk.
It’s a joyful summer scent for the high heat. White shirt, docker pants, blue boat shoe and a wayfarer written all over it.
Performs around good 8 hours on me with 2 hours of good projection and another hour of soft projection. And after 3 hours it refuses to sit silently on the skin. It comes on and off with whiffs of musk, ambergris, woods and salt.
This one is another example of Creed’s use of fine ingredients.
It’s a solid 9/10 for me.

i am shocked that i’ve fallen for this. i am a woman. didn’t know this was for men. i ordered a decant. smells like new leather, like a new car, or new leather boots, something in it reminds me of a disneyworld ride i once went on (maybe faint citrus). VERY interesting scent i like it!!! makes me feel sporty and 17 (i think that was the last time i went to disneyworld.) citrus and leather, and grass. YUM. how interesting. well i never get men’s scents so maybe it’s not as unusual as i think. but as a woman, it smells interesting on me and is taking me right back to disney. it puts me in a different, really good headspace.
YurOks – :
One of my favorite Creed’s next to Green Irish Tweed! I just sprayed a spritz of Erolfa from my 120ml bottle, and my, my; this is some beautiful juice! Wearing this on my arm right now gives me the feels of summer time! I bought this during the summer, and this one was my go to. I absolutely love the scent. It is a citrusy, woody, salty masterpiece. I do believe that scents do mature when left alone for awhile after application and it has been a fair amount of time since I last used Erolfa. This single spray is emitting off my arm with quite as beastly projection. This is definitely a breath of fresh air compared to the warm, and spicier scents I have been spraying during the winter season. The sandalwood, cedar, musk, and ambergris are a lovely touch to this fragrance. I am a huge fan of the dry down, and ultimately the reason I own this one. Longevity I feel is great. As I write this, I am adoring this cloud of Erolfa and wish summer would hurry up!
9/10
LightSpirit – :
I own several Creed fragrances–more than twenty–and it took me a few years to warm-up to this fragrance, but I now love it and it is quickly moving up on my favorites list. To be honest, I found it to be a bit odd and I had a love-hate relationship going on for quite sometime. Erolfa opens with a burst of citrus, a bright green aura, and a salty oceanic vibe; I detect lime, melon, a woody accord and some fresh spiciness that is lightly sweetened.
After a few minutes, Erolfa settles down (soft but not a skin scent) and I perceive non-specific floral and, as someone else mentioned, a touch of eucalyptus. At least that’s what I smell. A reviewer once opined that Erolfa smells like a combination of Bleu de Chaneal and Millesime Imperial. While I can understand this view, I tried tried that combo and it smells much different.
I have never been a huge fan of aquatic scents, but I do like this one. There’s nothing that smells quite like Erolfa so bonus points on uniqueness. What does it smell like? Imagine taking one of those oceanic aqua fragrances having a cucumber vibe (e.g., Polo Sport, Nautica Voyage, Eternity Acqua, etc.) and blending it with Carolina Herrera Chic for Men giving it that melon, pepper, sandalwood, musk, amber and cedar thing going background and that’s the vibe I get from Erolfa.
Finally, I’m not usually a batch or reformulation shill but I have a 120ml bottle (older) and a newer 75ml tester. Both bottles are fine and smell identical. However, the older bottle lasts and projects much better: 6-7 hours and moderately for one while 4-5 hours and soft-to-moderate for the other.
DinaTaerova – :
The reviews on YouTube for creed erolfa are for the most part slightly negative leaning, which had me a little doubtful while I was waiting for it to show up in the mail. (it was a blind buy.) Luckily I have no idea what those reviewers were talking about, this is beautiful, wearable and completely timeless. It is a green/lime-y clean musky sea salty aquatic, aside from the ocean on a sunny day, this conjures images of a (well kempt) video game arcade in a city @ night time, as well as the interior of a new car with one of those blue air freshener trees inside. Very glad I got this and didn’t listen to the YouTube reviews.
zumix – :
It has a ocean salt vibe. The opening is feminine and a little sexy. But… Its 440$ a bottle. AND…it doesn’t last all day? For that price you better have the strength of a Olympian. The story behind the name is very sweet. But it’s still not worth $440. I think it smells identical to Usher’s cologne UR
AlexChernianskiy – :
Pinesol liquid chemical death. Burns the nostrils…. ugh surprisingly terrible coming from the House of Creed. So thankful this wasn’t the first Creed fragrance I experienced.
Griplyantalry – :
Opening is beautiful, but on feminine side. In about 20 min it start getting saltier and more masculine but less pleasant, and its sillage and projection gradually decreases from moderate to weak until its demise in about 4-5 hours. Neither scent nor performance would impress anyone, and at this price point it is definitely not a safe buy or full bottle worthy. The only reason it lasted 5 months in my collection was because it took me 4 months to find someone to trade.
gensuntenniam – :
One of the most underrated Creed scents imo. Really, genuinely reminds me of the ocean. Bit salty, bit fruity, bit spicy.
tyapchyk – :
Creed Erolfa – This is a wonderful fresh aquatic fragrance. On first smell it reminds me alot of Chrome by Azzaro. I like this alot though. If I hadn’t owned Chrome them I’d definitely be buying this. I love the quality of Creed fragrances though.
Pepoceago – :
Most aquatic aquatic I’ve smelled. It’s salt, seaweed, and quite a lot of musky ambergris. Surprisingly pungent for a Creed fragrance. I like it a lot.
guzzitaev.y – :
A fresh, bright and clean scent. The opening is pleasant citrus and a prominent saltiness that hangs in the air. Overall, Erolfa has a nice balance of citrus, and saltiness are the not only the protagonists of this scent, but also stay throughout, and make this fragrance shine. A very nice job by Creed for a super nice summertime fragrance!
xripton – :
I checked the bottle and the batch# puts it to 2016, but I’m not feeling this AT ALL. It comes off with a hell of a big citrus front, I would be cool with this but it comes off as “cheap” and kinda smells like a bottle of cleaner that I would get at a dollar store. From there it settles to a floral scent and this is about where it ends. It just smells chintzy and weak. I’ve given it 1/3 of the bottle to see if I would learn to love it or anything but it’s still the same. When I’m dropping off my dry cleaning I do smell the floral end of it and it’s pleasant but nothing that I would say is stellar. I’m just straight disappointed with the scent and this being my first time buying Creed this doesn’t give me much confidence in them.
Scent: 6.5/10
Projection: 5/10
Longevity: 4/10

Between this, Virgin Island Water, and Imperial Millesime, this is the only one I could justify spending the money on. I love VIW, but I worry the coconut could project a “suntan oil” vibe. I liked Imperial Millesime okay, but I could barely smell it after about 20 min. To me they seemed fairly similar, but I like the violet/sandalwood combo on Erolfa a lot more than the sea salt/fruit combo on Imperial Millesime.
Most importantly (for me, at least), this one seems to have a lot better projection. I don’t need everything to be “in your face” all the time, but I’d at least like to be able to smell it myself.
My favorite thing about it, is that it’s got a familiar, but “can’t quite put my finger on it” feeling, the same as I get with Mugler Cologne. It’s like “I swear I’ve smelled this before, but I can’t remember where.” My hunch is that the violet might be reminding me of some classy women’s perfumes. All around, it seems very easy going and should have broad appeal. And I don’t know why it’s listed as “for men” because this seems clearly unisex to me.
oijnmk – :
Happiness in a bottle.
Erolfa makes my heart melt. It’s an ultra fresh acquatic that smells like fresh salty air mixed with citrus, florals (violet), ripe melon, and sunshine. Nobody uses ambergris as effectively as Creed, and the signature millesime base of sandalwood and ambergris is ever present.
An effortless warm weather, daytime scent that whispers on your skin and rewards anyone you allow into your personal bubble.
Despite legitimate performance issues, this stuff is criminally underrated.
flepopdsa – :
I find EROLFA to be quite girly and very flower- and powder-heavy. The opening reminds of VIW where the coconut seems replaced by melon. Then the powder kicks in, pushing things to the feminine side. I go with VIW for great spring/summer scent and one that also makes the darkest winter days a bit brigther. EROLFA however won’t find a place in my collection, sorry.
FriendPatrick – :
@adonis_blackwood
Thank you for the input! I will be going out this weekend and giving both a try! I’m swaying a little more towards Erolfa than VIW, but I will decide eventually. I am very excited to give this a scent a try again. Now that it is spring, it is the perfect opportunity to try these fragrances out!
Erolfa sounds more of a all year round fresh scent, while VIW screams seasonal summer.
Edit: (May 6/17)
I smelt this one in both Harry Rosen and Holt Renfrew today. A truly amazing fragrance. I got a sample of Erolfa from HR and the longevity I am blown away on. I once started to doubt it when I read about the scent fading away fairly quickly, but my view is completely the opposite. This is one of the first citrus type or rather a freshie fragrance that I am very pleased with. I get a lot of the fruit with this one. Quite pleasant.
A summer vibe scent and it takes me away to somewhere hot. I can’t detect it, but I certainly get a picture in my head of a kind of salty sea smell. Probably from the ambergris. To my point, I took a shower when I got home, and Erolfa is on my arm the faintest, and I get slight whiffs of what’s left. I’m not talking full power, but once your nose becomes accustomed to a smell it will pick it up some way some how. That’s what I get. Masculine without fail, but a sophisticated woman could certainly wear this. I will cherish my samples, and perhaps one day own a bottle of Erolfa.
I tip my boater hat to Creed.
Edit: (May 27/17)
Purchased a 120ml bottle. Juice has slight yellow-ish tinge to it. Creed told me it was an authentic bottle from Harry Rosen, and most Erolfa’s have that appearance.. It’s an older batch I believe. Does anybody ever find the first handful of sprays from a new bottle are weak? Regardless of scent. I’m having better luck now with the sprays.

DeBill – :
@gumbinator viw is nicer than erolfa but not as versatile. i think viw is only suited for summer and on sunny day, my god it is beautiful. but erolfa u can use in any occasion, any time of the year, day and night. if i were u, id pick this one up. but knowing me, viw will be my choice
Варелка – :
I have been eyeing this fragrance for some time now. I have smelt it a few times and it is very nice. Quite aquatic and fresh. My only issue is do I go for Erolfa or Virgin Island Water for the summer?
I’d love to own both but only feel the need to have one at the moment. I have smelt VIW and it definitely takes you away to that far away tropical resort and summer orientated most definitely. Any thoughts are more than welcome, and thank you in advance to anyone who gives me some advice!
Oh! I would also like to know which of the two lasts longer! As that is a factor for sure when I pick fragrances!
txg491InsuffBooni – :
Erolfa is very nice. I mean very very nice!
Everyone classified this is a daytime scent but I can easily wear this at night also.
This is a very classy take on a “by the sea” fragrance. Maybe a night out on a yacht fragrance. This smell says class. Fresh and beautiful but classy.
Definitely one of my favorite from the house. Don’t get so caught up in Aventus and Millesime Imperial and Green Irish Tweed that you sleep on a chance to get this one…. this also deserves recognition. Well done Creed. Sick of y’all, fine, take more of my money.

cni806Diobtetty – :
Erolfa is really a great ode to mediterranean summers. Now where? The coast? The sea? Maybe a sailboat? A bench on the pier? The where part is up for debate, but as for the scent? The scent is simplistically phenomenal! The Creed quality is front and center in this fragrance. Erolfa has prominent notes of melon, juniper and ambergris that create this salty fruity essence, with just a touch of coniferous pine to give this scent an airy freshness. The combination of these notes gives off a great salty, fresh aquatic feel. Erolfa wears very light and airy, which is what most look for in a summer fragrance, making Erolfa an easy reach for the summer. This fragrance screams to be worn on strolls around town, or a bike ride to the park. But make sure you wear your mariniere, rolled jeans or chinos, and of course a nice pair of espadrilles.

Best lime I’ve ever smelled.
kaha_am – :
I stumbled upon a small Creed section in House of Fraser today and could not resist testing out some of the ones i have not smelt yet. Erolfa was one i decided to spray because i am a fan of fresh and aquatic scents. At first sniff i thought it smelt a bit odd and reminded me of bathroom cleaner a little bit. Throughout the day i was smelling all the different sprays on my arms and kept getting whiffs of something really pleasant and so i went back to the place where i sprayed Erolfa and my god it has evolved into one hell of a beautiful marine scent! I was ready to forget about this one but now unfortunately for me, it has shot onto my to buy list! Give this one a chance and let this one evolve, trust me.

powdery violet with ambergris. the lightest among my creed collection so far but liking it a bit more now. very easy to wear and im giving it an 8.5/10

quite similar to MI. i like MI more than this one. the ambergris is the strongest in this compared to other creeds. 6/10 for now but ive a feeling that its going to get better

برای لذت بردن از یک روز گرم تابستانی این عطر میتونه گزینه خوبی باشه
رایحه عطر کمی شوره ، بیشتر سبز و تلخ هست و کمی هم مرکباتی
نت های سبز بیشترین تاثیر رو در رایحه عطر دارند و ترکیب خوبی رو به وجود آوردند.
натали 777 – :
Erolfa: elegant salty-citrus masterpiece, totally classic-style. The more you smell it, the better you like it. The scent just improves with time on skin.
Its short longevity is perfect: the heavy smelling of the almost camphorous-like citrus achords would be a negative side of this perfume. In its onwn and unique way, it shines enough to make its wearer happy and confident.
Gem. 8/10
san70411 – :
Ive Been wearing this scent for three years. What i find funny is alot of people now are catching on to this scent even though it has been out for many years. Melon Ambergris Citrus with a touch of salt hanging out behind it. I’ve owned and own many fragrances but this has and always will be a staple. Some complain about the longevitity but this is meant to be worn on a very hot day 5-6 sprays accompanied by a nice white Linen shirt with khaki shorts and some really nice sneakers and while you are pool side or beach side with your lady. EROLFA THE LEGEND CONTINUES.
lifeline – :
This underrated gem is my favorite of the Creed line. This does not get enough love. This is a salty ocean breeze in a bottle. Where VIW reminds me of a beach chair in the surf and a frozen drink melting in your hand this is the stroll down the beach in the morning sun with the breeze coming off the ocean, no one around but yourself and the beauty of nature.
arsweb – :
I was looking for a great citrus/ acquatic fragrance with some nice florals, that does not feel to feminine.
This is about the best choice for me.
I have Creed Melisme Imperial, it’s a spectacular fresh fragrance, but it gets cloyingly acidic and salty after a while.
Erolfa I like better than MI, because the longevity is better, and is more wearable. It has clean sheer acquatic fresh notes, with some exelent delicate floral touches, without feeling feminine.
killer2004 – :
This is 25 years old. This is a historic benchmark classic in the Aquatic genre !
In the opening I get the fresh Mysore sandalwood, and ambergris, that settles and you get the fruitiness with some jasmine or neroli, fresh spices. Nothing ground breaking, but back in 1992 when this came out it may have been more outstanding. A great classic aquatic, with quality notes, yet timelessly enjoyable today.
As I’m wearing this a few more times, I see that this is a very complex fragrance. Many have said you need time with this one to realy appreciate all it’s goodness.
For one example, after 30 minutes in, I am getting a beautifull and unique soapy accord, that subtly appears out of the blue. From the opening I could not see these hidden accords comming, they are maybe the quieter notes of pine, ginger, pepper… There are many great notes in Erolfa that will take many wearing to know. As a fragrance enthusiast I enjoy fragrances like that…
Creed has some great Summertime fresh fragrances, like Milisme Imperial which I have, and is close to Erolfa. I am thinking of getting Erolfa when my MI ends. It is more pleasant and wearable than Milisme Imperial, which is beautiful, but gets to sharp with the saltiness and acidity at times, Erolfa wears more like a great cologne, yet is more than a great cologne. Erolfa I would say may be the very best true aquatic out there.

I got the citrus front and center, which is nice, but there’s also an herbal/metallic element I didn’t like (is that meant to be “salty”?). Interestingly, there’s a gummy type of texture, which I’ve encountered before in different types of scents (Catalyst for Men and Cuba Green), but I don’t necessarily dislike it. Longevity was very good and projection didn’t seem bad either, but it’s not the kind of scent I enjoy, and in warm weather I’d go for ones like Blenheim Bouquet rather than marine, aquatic, sport, fresh, etc. fragrances.
