I'm quite fond of the original Varvatos fragrance, but it's too easy to get onsale to make this list because there's so much backstock. Amazon recently had it for $40 for the 2.5 EDT and $50(!) for the 4.0. I can't find a price history on camelcamelcamel, but the discount required an American Express card.
Creed scents like GIT and Original Vetiver can be relatively easy to find because retailers very occasionally get overstock. I wouldn't mind new bottles at a discount, but other things are harder to find.
What I've never seen at a discount is Creed Tabarome (Private Collection) -- not to be confused with Creed Tabarome Millesime. I couldn't even find that one when the Creed store in NYC became Bond No. 9 NY and the owner had to get rid of her old stock (which her new company's product line emulated, BTW). I picked up bottles of nearly every Creed cologne except Tabarome when the Creed store closed.
When you're in situations like that (at a final sale on Creeds), it can help to seem really indecisive when choosing what to buy -- at least until your salesperson caves and offers to throw in perk after perk. You'll walk out with free samples, shampoos, etc. My salesperson threw in the entire box of Bond samples, which Bond now sells as the "Bon-Bon Box" for $360, as well as Creed shampoos and related items I've never seen anywhere else.
I would love to see a Massdrop sale that included Creed Tabarome, and other scents by houses like Serge Lutens.
