I mean Creed are over-priced 100%. I usually get good deals from a few Facebook groups that sell full bottles at good prices from time to time (and they are reliable sources). To me, Aventus and Royal Oud last the longest. The other fragrances are really good but as Phil said, you'll be reapplying quickly.
But Mike, give Tabarome a try, that stuff is amazing! Refined tobacco with gentle ginger tea to add more character. Classy one.
I still love the odd "cheapy" gem like Kiton Men. Smells similar to GIT and Chez Bond. And hey, looking forward to that Animale Animale sample!
