Do you buy Creed cologne from Costco or Walmart?

ny325 · 05-28-2020, 08:19 PM

I was looking for car wash supplies, and laundry detergents. I came across Creed cologne. I didn’t know that Costco or Walmart sold Creed. Prices were about 30%-40% less than Nieman Marcus. I always go to Nieman Marcus to purchase Creed. Has anyone bought cologne from Cosco or Walmart? Are they real Creed fragrances? Thank you.

The fragrance from Walmart is shipped from a company called ” Maxaroma.” There site indicates all fragrances are authentic.

Yup, I have. Once from Walmart with Green Irish Tweed. It was something like $170 for full bottle. 2 years ago saw Costco had Aventus for $200-230 so I bought a bottle. Both are still half full and I get compliments all the time. I tend to wear Aventus more. They’re legit and sold at fantastic prices!

isn't it "Costco"?

Don’t care what anyone thinks: I like nice stuff now and then but won’t pay MSRP. So if I can get a deal for the same thing someone pays 2-3x for at the department store, then more power to them. Being smart with your money doesn’t necessarily mean you’re struggling or are cheap.

The seller is MaxAroma. There based in New York, and sell a lot of brands. . I have purchased my Creed cologne from Nieman Marcus. MaxAroma prices seem to good to be true. However, Creed had 30% sale a few weeks ago I missed. MaxAroma has a very informative site, and a good return policy. They say everything they sell is Authentic. I might give them a try.. I’ll check the batch number on the bottle. What the heck. I’ve been in quarantine for the last 9 weeks. And who knows when this “ Pause” is going to be lifted.

That link is so true. There’s a RR Phantom I see occasionally when I go to Walmart. Even Shaq says he loves Walmart.

I agree - especially when the thing on hand is a bottle of Creed that retails for $400 for 100ml.

Got my John Varvatos from Wal Mart's website for $35 lol. Same fragrance at Nordstrom was nearly $100.

Most of my designer goods were purchased on discount. You just have to be patient and look for deals at the right time. You won't get the most exclusive product in their line and some items never go on sale, but it's OK.

People don't become wealthy paying full price for stuff. Haggling and searching for deals should be a quality that everybody strives for.

If you purchase cologne from Walmart, I'm assuming you are purchasing it online and not in-store. If that's the case isn't it sold by a third party? How can you verify the authenticity from 3rd party sellers and make sure it's not a Grade B or a knockoff?

The seller is maxAroma, and they have good reviews. I’m still skeptical though. I wasn’t planning on buying Creed cologne. I always buy it at NM. I was searching for car wash supplies, and other items, and I saw Creed on the site.

Like.... the band Creed? Why would you want to smell like them?

The last gf looooooved shopping, for deals! She would buy clothes from Nordstrom Rack at 80-90% off for me, my family, herself, and her family. We would try them on and only keep what we really like. Not saying that we buy a ton every week and keep them all as that’s something I’m against. But every now and then you find some good deals then it’s worth spending a little money on some new and nice clothes. In general we don’t care about name brands for clothing.

Yea I don't wear Creed, but I wouldn't purchase it from a 3rd party seller anyways named maxAroma. Could be a B grade or a knockoff, you never know.

I guess I'm out of the loop, I don't shop at WalMart, and have never even heard of the cologne Creed. I'm over here still shopping at my local market and wearing Fierce.

euro* · 05-29-2020, 03:12 PM

Did you have to buy cologne in bulk from Costco, to receive the discount??

Evo13 · 05-29-2020, 03:46 PM

Wow I never knew it was available from costco or walmart. I got Aventus from Fragrancenet and I thought I got a deal at the time.
