Aubepine Acacia

Aubepine Acacia is a 1965 Creed release built on a narrow, deliberate idea: green sharpness meeting soft yellow blossom. The top is galbanum and bergamot — expect the bitter, sappy bite of galbanum cut by citrus peel rather than any sweetened opening. What follows is hawthorn and mimosa, the heart the name promises: powdery, honeyed, slightly almond-tinged mimosa wrapped around the dry, haylike greenness of hawthorn. No base notes are documented, so treat the drydown as an open question and judge any bottle on its heart rather than expecting a heavy finish.

The accord profile reads floral first (100%), then green, fresh spicy and citrus, with yellow floral and a touch of sweetness underneath — a classic mid-century floral-green balance. This suits collectors of vintage green florals, galbanum lovers, and anyone curious about Creed's non-masculine archive. It wears best in spring and daylight, and rewards those who enjoy a leaner, more austere structure than modern mimosas. Check concentration, fill level and top-note freshness before buying.

Aubepine Acacia 係 Creed 一九六五年推出嘅女香，屬花香綠調。前調係白松香同佛手柑，開頭會係白松香嘅青澀苦感，畀柑橘皮削走甜味；中調轉入山楂同含羞草，含羞草帶粉感、蜜甜同微微杏仁氣息，山楂就乾爽似乾草，兩者疊成典型嘅黃花香。官方冇列基調，所以收尾要自己試，唔好預期厚重尾韻。

香調比例以花香為主，其次係綠感、清新辛香同柑橘，底層有少少甜，係六十年代常見嘅花綠平衡。適合鍾意復古綠花香、白松香，或者想試 Creed 女香舊作嘅收藏者。春天同日間用最啱，鍾意清瘦、克制結構嘅人會欣賞。入手前記得睇濃度、水位同前調有冇走味。
