Over the years, the House of Creed has been serving some top-quality fragrances, one of which is Spring Flower. A beautiful, classic fragrance in a flashy pink bottle, it has been stealing hearts (and noses) since its launch in 1996. Now Creed probably thought it was time to touch up the perfume and serve their customers with yet another exciting release, so here we are with a review of Creed Spring Flower 2023. A stroll through a quintessential English garden full of fresh flowers and delicate femininity inspires this new version of the original masterpiece.
A floral/fruity fragrance for women exclusively, Spring Flower’s new version has been launched this year, in 2023, with the hopes of setting yet another milestone. House of Creed describes it as feminine, flirtatious, floral, and rich.
‘Inspired by the optimism and magic of spring, when flowers bloom, and color radiates from the Earth, Spring Flower is a fragrant celebration of bold, confident and playful femininity.’

When to Wear Your Spring Flower 2023?
This playful and feminine scent is THE IDEAL choice for all those unapologetic souls who aren’t afraid of expressing their true selves. Owing to the white flowers, which give it a more summery feel, Spring Flower 2023 is best suited to use in the days of spring/summertime months. The fragrance’s composition aptly fits the light and breezy vibe of the season. Remember to don this perfume the next time you go out for brunch with your besties, have a springtime picnic, or do everyday errands.
Longevity And Sillage
New to the perfume world? Don’t worry, I got you. Longevity and sillage are two parameters you can judge a fragrance on. Longevity means the length of time a scent stays on your skin. Which, for Spring Flower 2023, is moderate, with the smell staying on for about 6 hours on my skin.
Sillage refers to the trail of scent that your perfume leaves behind. Spring Flowers 2023 does leave behind an enchanting path with this summery scent. The moderate projection and sillage perfectly suit this composition not to overwhelm your senses because no one wants to wear perfume so loud and strong and cause headaches to people around them.
How is it different from Original Spring Flower?
The two versions of Spring Flower vary in their scent notes.
Unlike the original, the Creed Spring Flower 2023 version opens with a mixture of fresh, uplifting citruses with a soft touch of dewy green notes. The heart is full of accords of juicy apricots and peaches and the rich Jasmine. The base is Creed’s signature ambergris accord merged with soft, warm cedar and musk.
Nonetheless, the fragrance is well-rounded and exquisitely beautiful.
The other difference is their packaging. With the Original one packed in a glamorous pink bottle, the 2023 version is equally stunning, a cute porcelain pink bottle.
PROS of Spring Flower 2023
- Creed has used top-quality ingredients in the perfume since its establishment.
- Creed carefully controls the distribution of its products, so you don’t have to fear a scam.
CONS of Spring Flower 2023
- This floral/musky combination of notes is prevalent. You can get a similar fragrance at cheaper prices which might even smell better to some people. So considering the high price point of this premium perfume, some people would find it unaffordable.
- This perfume might be an understatement for some people. It is not for the noses who love stronger, darker scents.
- This fragrance might come off as synthetic and nauseating to some noses and can induce headaches. So make sure to try this in person to avoid such inconveniences.
Packaging
The packaging is one most noticeable differences between the 2023 version and the original. Original Spring Flower comes in a bright Fuschia pink glass bottle.
Spring Flower 2023 is different. It comes in a beautiful, opaque powder-pink bottle with a shining silver cap. The bottle is sculpted into the signature Creed silhouette with the logo engraved on it.
Overall, the packaging is A-MA-ZING. This perfume is a must-buy for all the aesthetes who hold aesthetics in high regard. Pretty in pink, It can quickly enter the list of the most beautiful scents on your vanity.
Final Thoughts
Spring Flower 2023 has been a highly anticipated release since I loved the Original Spring Flower so much. Reading the notes online, I was sure I would love the fragrance, but it was different in person. Well, that’s because fragrance is a highly subjective area. And I strongly advise you to test the sample in person before purchasing the perfume because this is not a blind buy.
The lovely white florals couple with the acidic citruses, creating a soft balance. The fragrance is neither fruity nor musky, just the midpoint. It is effortless, light, and elegant. It is suitable for casual or even semi-formal wear and can easily be your next signature scent.
