UPDATE for 2019/2020: Aventus now comes wrapped in cellophane from Creed. All other indicators still apply. And yes, Creed fragrances from discount websites (FragranceNet, FragranceX etc) are real. Buying retail is not the only way to get authentic Creed products. This video is to inform you of the indicators to look out for when purchasing used on the grey market such as Facebook, eBay etc if you so choose. I own over 20 authentic Creed bottles and have never bought a fake (except for this video, to demonstrate). Most people saying I have no clue most likely have never purchased a bottle outside of retail, or at all for that matter, and think authorized dealers are the only way to go, which simply isn't the truth. In any case, thanks for watching and I hope this clears things up!
Hey brother would you mind taking a look at my bottle? For some reason my sample from retail lasts longer than the one I got from fragrancex. Let me know thanks in advance man
Приветствую в телеге SHIFTofficial несравнимо много полезного по этому поводу. Часто залипаю в их чатике. Иногда спрашиваю там по интересующим делам. Будут вопросы, пиши. На самом деле, тебе там будут рады и с предложениями.
I have a A220B11N batch and it come in cellophane. I asked for Mont Blanc Explorer for my birthday and I got Creed Aventus (but instead of multiple gift, only got that one).
Heres a little bonus video on a question I get a lot. Hopefully this helps some people out. Sorry about how long the video is, I had a lot of info to cover but it's worth the watch. Enjoy! Don't forget to connect with me here: instagram.com/chaosfragrances
Brother, I have a fragrance of the Royal Oud from the Production Doctrine of 2015. How do I know if it is real, please help me because I trust you so much
Great informative video! I almost cancelled my order (because it was wrapped in cellophane), UNTIL I read your update! Thanks for the time you invested in this for everyone. Great job!
Thank you so much. I just found out I bought 2 fakes. Your tips were spot on - no white outer ring, they were wrapped in plastic, and the boxes had white edges on the corner.
Another thing to add about fakes vs real is I like to look at the crown closely. The crown should match what creed has on its bottles. Along with that I like to feel how the top secures to the bottle. It should feel like it’s a solid “click” when your putting the cap back on and the cap should have a snap to it when removed. I believe there are 2 rings inside the cap that give that luxury on/off feel to it. Just wanted to add some other stuff I look at. Also I look at the paperwork included. Make sure the gold on the outside of the creed family pictures is raised up some and the picture looks clear 👍🏻😀
Thank you for this video man! This helps a lot, especially to those people who really love this perfume because there's a lot of Fake Creed Fragrances available online. As a fan of Creed Fragrances, I really appreciate this!
Chaos Fragrances - Thanks, I'm a bit nervous. Do you have a recommendation for someone's 1st Creed purchase? A bottle that's a good representation of the quality the brand offers, while also taking Spring into consideration?
Green Irish Tweed, Aventus, or Millesime Imperial. Millesime Imperial is currently one of the cheapest Creeds you can get, I've seen full 120ml bottles going for around $120 on Facebook groups
Good luck brotha. I just saw a post of someone selling Millesime for around $120 yesterday but I can't find it. They usually go pretty quick when the price is good
I’ve been s creed fan for almost 4/5 years yet I never came across these differences with the fake one.. probably because I never buy it outside. But thanks man very informative
My friend I have a question, someone is selling a bottle of Creed Aventus 100ml for $160dls, according to your video everything seems to be good is a 2017 batch 17V01, but in the back of the bottle just down the batch there is de word Ecomundo is that right ???
So I got myself a Creed Aventus bottle this week and practically everything checks out (white outer ring, batch number on the back of the bottle, all black box, no sleeve, actual sticker, 2016 batch) BUT it came with a cellophane wrapping! OMG now I'm freaking out. Is it possible it's fake?
It depends where you got it from, some stores will actually wrap them in cellophane themselves to help protect the box and stuff like that. If everything else checks out then I doubt it’s a fake
Best indicator for me is the price. Lowest price legit Creed I have found is GIT at $109 for 1oz. NEVER buy from Amazon under any circumstances! Amazon has a major counterfeit problem. Those $40 and $50 bottles of Creed are fake.
I love GIT...I have tried several Creed samples, and none seem to come close...and I get many many complements. Are there any other as good as GIT that you can recommend? Also, any on ebay who you can attest sell great genuine testers or NIB at really decent prices? Thanks so much. I really enjoy your videos. My wife passed away 4 years ago, and I have been searching for my new fragrance line, to give me a nice group of options that reach out and touch, so to speak.
Bilawal Khan I agree...I shopped the three popular sites..fragx ,fragnet, and notino..really disappointed notino no longer avalible to U.S. shoppers..was wondering if there were any other sites I might have missed..thanks for response. Keep up the great vids..you have me looking at creed bottles now..inspired by your collection
What a detailed video man. Hopefully people actually watch it and take the time to learn...haha. I'll try to do a side by side video of real vs fake Aventus this summer once I'm back home. I have the fake box too so I can touch on those white cardboard edges. Good stuff man!
Thanks brother! I hope people watch it too, we can both relate to that lol. It would be awesome for you to do a video on this, and hopefully you do some more Batch Talk episodes too! Those are fun to watch and there aren’t many videos at all that talk about batches
i did buy a original creed at a perfume store with cellophane wrap box but it have the stamp at the bottom 2019 , the ineer and outer circle is white and the sprayer is correct as it say in the film but what about the wrapping is that changed ?

I bought a fake bottle of Aventus the other day. I was sold a real box, but the bottle was a good fake. The bottle looked legit, but under the cap was a metal ring. My question is, is that it had a legit batch code on the bottom stamped into the glass, but the sprayer sounded cheap when pressed and had a metal washer. Had anyone else had a batch number on a fake?
Thanks man! Just got my Legit bottle of Aventus! Between you Timmy,and Ash a lot of good knowledge. Thanks again. By the way my Aventus batch is 17W01 smells awesome!
@chaos fragrances I bought a creed aventus with cellophane wrapping and a sleeve around it, it's the men's creed aventus. Does that mean it's fake?? Please let me know. Thanks
Just be careful if buying on ebay. Usually the scams will be from Sellers with 0 feedback score, and they will often sell the item for considerably cheaper than average sale prices.
I bought this from Jomashop for $320 something 100 ml and I don’t know if its real or fake, on the pic the crown on the box is fully black where I see a pic on creed website is silver, should I be worried? And your box is also fully black (the crown is black instead of silver as shown on creed website) whats the difference?
Great video. A lot of good info and insight. But my question is, do all the aspects of what should be a real bottle need to be present for you to consider it to be legit? I bought royal princess oud from fragrancenet and everything checks out except for the cap. It’s loose and does not have the inner sleeve. What would u think?
The main thing to look for is the white ring under the atomizer, if it has that then it's 100% legit. I provide info on all the other aspects mainly to help identify the bottle from pictures without seeing under the atomizer. Loose caps are completely normal, quite a bit of my Creed bottles have a loose flimsy cap. If the bottle is coming from FragranceNet , its authentic. I'm not too sure there are many fakes of Royal Princess Oud to begin with. I'd say you're good man
Hi bought creed and smells good but Underneath there’s numbers I have two number 3 and one number 1 Has the white inside like you said numbers underneath there all 50ml look like they were in a gift set bought them at a garage sale. Wanted to know if they may come with numbers under nice smell nice they look design I wanna know if they’re fake do you think or genuine I would say they were but I don’t know why these numbers underneath them just number one and number three. Thank you
I got my creed royal mayfair, it has a white outer ring so thats fine, but my batch code was probably in ink, and i couldnt read it and rubbed it off in one swipe, what does this mean? Theres no other place on the bottle that shows the batch code. The box though was perfect had a sticker so i guess thats all good
Does anyone know if creed still does a white circle (with maybe a black innercircle)? I just bought a 16H01 and it's more metalic and not white. It also came wrapped but I heard this can be done by the merchant and not by creed
I think that every time when I talk about this haha, the fakes keep getting better and better unfortunately. Just trying to save people from wasting their money. A lot of the eBay sellers who sell fakes have a lot of positive feedback from people who don't know any better, so it makes it hard to know what to trust
Real or Fake do they both smell the same? Because I really wanna buy a Creed but I want to make sure will the smell be the same rather it's real or fake
UPDATE for 2019/2020: Aventus now comes wrapped in cellophane from Creed Thanks for updating the cellophane from Creed. It does come wrapped in cellophane...
Which would be the best place to buy Creed from for authenticity and freshness: Nordstrom, Bloomingdate or Creed Boutique. I know nordstrom have no excellent return policy and customer service.
Hi there, Thanks for the video. I just bought a bottle 50ml of Aventus in the official boutique Creed in Paris and the box was in cellophane...is that a fake one then? sold in the official boutique?
I purchased Irish tweed and silver mountain water from fragrance net the smw doesn’t smell at all u have to be hugging distance to smell it and the Irish tweed I have doesn’t smell like the display one missing the grassy green note
Regards bro.... I have a question,maybe you can help me out. I am interested in buying flacon aventus and can you tell something about fakes with those if there are any? I havent heard anything about fakes there,so any tip is great if you know anything. I am talking about FP4218D02 batch Cheers
Literally have the same batch of Himalaya. 16G01. Been dabbling more & more into the House of Creed. Just got a 75ml bottle of Royal Mayfair for like $100 on FragranceNet. So far got Aventus (of course), Millesime Imperial, Himalaya, Royal Mayfair, and a small decant of Silver Mountain Water. SMW will probably be my next purchase, the versatility of it is really winning me over. That & Royal Water would complete my collection of scents I'd want to own from them. However, haven't tried Green Irish Tweed. Royal Oud & Bois de Portugal are nice, just a little on the mature side for me. I'm only 25 haha.
FragranceNet and Facebook groups are currently your best bet. I got my Aventus from a Canadian seller on eBay, can get some really good deals on eBay but have to be careful and do plenty of research
Chaos Fragrances I just made a purchase from Fragrancebuy.ca that’s why I asked about the Canadian seller. Haven’t tried fragrance net yet. I mostly purchase splits but I’m looking forward to getting some full bottles of creed scents I have really been enjoying.
FragranceNet has the best prices as of late, but beware their shipping is slow. I’m willing to deal with it because they run great clearance deals especially on niche fragrances like Creeds. Check out Fragrance Swap on Facebook, Creed bottles are being sold a lot there
I'm in Canada and buy from FragranceX. I'd rather support Canadian retailers but FragranceX is cheaper than Fragrancebuy because of the taxes. If you're in the US you get way more perks from them.
great video man! have yall bought a creed tester before? i got a tester of silver mountain water recently and it checks all the authentic tips in this video, and i had an official sample before i got that and the tester smells exactly the same and it lasted around 8 and half hours and at the point my family said they could still smell me at arms length
I have had a bottle of MI for a few years now and everything appears to be ok... the outer ring is white the box came without plastic but I can't find the batch number. It has creed engraved if you will on the bottom but there is no sight on a batch code stamp. Not on the back or bottom... Is that a sign its fake?
maybe the batch code are printed on different area for different year to spot out fakes? If the batch code is for 2016 and it was printed on the wrong location then the bottle could be fake?
Hello Chaos Fragrances. I enjoyed watching your video. Excellent. I wish that you included a showing the bottom of black bottle Creed Green Irish Tweed. I checked mine, as you stated, has the black outer ring & a small white inner ring; thus, fake. Hope that there are more than 1 fact to draw a conclusion it was a fake. Ugh, so many fake items out there. Best.
I really wish I'd noticed this video sooner. I bought an Aventus Creed 120 ml from a seller three weeks ago. I tried it, and it was weaker than I thought, so I was thinking oh well I guess ppl around me can smell it but not me. But no, neither I or my friends could feel anything, even minutes after sprayed on. Here's what I found out about the product: - It has no logo on the atomizer - the sticker on the bottom on the box is not a sticker but just printed on - the edges on the box is white, not black as it should have - the inside of the atomizer is not white but metallic Never buying perfume from sellers again.
How about the ones purchased from Amazon that are claimed to be watered down? Could they refill them with less potent versions? A friend of mine bought me some for Xmas, but the reviews were saying it didn't last longer than 2 hours of scent.
Pretty dope that you have the original 120 mL Aventus bottle. Unfortunately I have the newer 100 mL one (I say unfortunately because who wouldn’t want 20 more mL of the king for a lower price than the current retail???)
site called incenza. dont think they carry the 120ml anymore. yeah ive seen the prices going up on them myself. incenza also has the aventus soap and after shave for good prices, shipping is reasonable aswell but there will be a border fee with taxes also.
Yeah ok Bro but just one more question doest it project well? i mean i have the same batch and the projection is very weak nobody can smell it , i heard stuffs like that it needs to mature a litlle bit and the more you use it the more it well project good is that true?
Mehdi MK A lot of the later 17 batches have beast performance, not much projection but definitely above average, sillage is excellent. I didn’t believe the “aging” tip either but it works man lol I’ve done it with a couple of my other fragrances as well. Trust me, just because you can’t smell it doesn’t mean the people around you can’t. Aventus is known for it’s olfactory fatigue and that’s more than likely what you guys experienced.
My bottle of aventus has a black inner ring but like a clear outer ring does this mean it's a fake? It passes the other tests so I feel like the bottle might be real but the juice really lacks in performance and projection. Like my farts last longer than this lol PLEASE HELP.
I just bought my fiancee a bottle of Creed GIT....and learned from this video that the bottle is fake. So if the bottle is fake, does that mean the cologne is fake too?
UPDATE for 2019/2020: Aventus now comes wrapped in cellophane from Creed. All other indicators still apply. And yes, Creed fragrances from discount websites (FragranceNet, FragranceX etc) are real.

Is it just the Aventus that's wrapped in cellophane or do all Creed scents come wrapped now too?
Chaos Fragrances when you say inner ring it needs to be white , do you mean clear or it is true color white?

Is any of the Creed caps plastic?? I baught a Creed original santal and the cap is a cheap plastic very light weight
Do you have any updates regarding if the clones are getting better?
My $15 bottle from Wish says MADE IN FRANGE on the bottom, printed not embossed.. Still a good value.

@@slaveofTMH by chance was it from Amazon?
By chance was it from Amazon?
@@markanthony879 nope - eBay
This is a great video!! Definitely helped with my most recent frag purchases. Keep up the great work!!
Another thing to add about fakes vs real is I like to look at the crown closely. The crown should match what creed has on its bottles. Along with that I like to feel how the top secures to the bottle. It should feel like it’s a solid “click” when your putting the cap back on and the cap should have a snap to it when removed. I believe there are 2 rings inside the cap that give that luxury on/off feel to it. Just wanted to add some other stuff I look at. Also I look at the paperwork included. Make sure the gold on the outside of the creed family pictures is raised up some and the picture looks clear 👍🏻😀

I can now confidently by a bottle of Creed. I've been waiting for this video before shopping. Awesome video and much appreciated!
Awesome! Good luck man!
Chaos Fragrances - Thanks, I'm a bit nervous. Do you have a recommendation for someone's 1st Creed purchase? A bottle that's a good representation of the quality the brand offers, while also taking Spring into consideration?
Green Irish Tweed, Aventus, or Millesime Imperial. Millesime Imperial is currently one of the cheapest Creeds you can get, I've seen full 120ml bottles going for around $120 on Facebook groups
Chaos Fragrances - Sweet! I'll hunt down a facebook group. Thanks for everything!
Good luck brotha. I just saw a post of someone selling Millesime for around $120 yesterday but I can't find it. They usually go pretty quick when the price is good
Wish I had watched this prior to purchasing a bottle on eBay. Got scammed. Thanks for the information though
if you think it's fake you can absolutely return it and Ebay will honor it. I am an eBay seller and I hate seller that sell fakes!
I just got my from Ebay I think is fake I'm calling tomorrow
@@tonyvega7268 how did it go did they accept your return and give you your money back.

Thanks brotha!
Thanks for the info and for also being straight to the point not like others that explain too much and videos are long.
Glad you found it useful, this video was longer than I wanted it to be but I tried to keep it concise
How to tell if they are 2016 or other year? Thanks

In aventus bottles .Is it possible to remove spray and refill it again from a large flacon.
Great job! Nice attention to detail. Thanks

Lol @ 4:23 "Who would wanna do business with an idiot" 😆
Nice video, thanks! Also like the music on a background.:)
Not sure if I would want the hassle of buying through eBay, etc.. I might just pay full price at the store.
Rev. James C Always the RIGHT thing to pay retail
Rev. James C what is the creed store site ? I prefer to buy from there.. anyone knows?
In the store, it could be fake as well. ;-)
Reputation matters - if you have a fragrance guy with 10,000+ ratings and still at 99% - you're plenty safe

Best indicator for me is the price. Lowest price legit Creed I have found is GIT at $109 for 1oz.
NEVER buy from Amazon under any circumstances! Amazon has a major counterfeit problem. Those $40 and $50 bottles of Creed are fake.
I love GIT...I have tried several Creed samples, and none seem to come close...and I get many many complements. Are there any other as good as GIT that you can recommend?

My wife passed away 4 years ago, and I have been searching for my new fragrance line, to give me a nice group of options that reach out and touch, so to speak.
From a Creed specialist, the price you paid tells you if it is legit. You either buy it at the approved price, or discount prices are not legit.
You're just paid to say that lol
Great video bro 👌👌 been waiting on this one. U think fragranceX is a good website to buy creed fragrances from ??
It is, but some of their pricing can be pretty high
Chaos Fragrances what would you recommend?

What Creed is it? Apparently they don't cellophane their boxes unless if it's the executive line.

Which would be the best place to buy Creed from for authenticity and freshness: Nordstrom, Bloomingdate or Creed Boutique. I know nordstrom have no excellent return policy and customer service.
Great! Very informative thank you
Hi there, Thanks for the video. I just bought a bottle 50ml of Aventus in the official boutique Creed in Paris and the box was in cellophane...is that a fake one then? sold in the official boutique?

No that’s not a fake. recently they do cellophane on their box from few months ago.
@@rnmdr181 thanks!;)
I purchased Irish tweed and silver mountain water from fragrance net the smw doesn’t smell at all u have to be hugging distance to smell it and the Irish tweed I have doesn’t smell like the display one missing the grassy green note
Hello i got a question bro, is this still legit? Ive got a bottle from this year and its all Black instead of white
Mine has a little less crisp printing on the bottle. The „creed“ has a few small inc Marcs beside it. Is it fake?
You nailed it bro... respect 😊👍
Will the smaller bottles have white outer rings inside the atomizer as well?
Regards bro....
I have a question,maybe you can help me out. I am interested in buying flacon aventus and can you tell something about fakes with those if there are any? I havent heard anything about fakes there,so any tip is great if you know anything. I am talking about FP4218D02 batch
Cheers
Literally have the same batch of Himalaya. 16G01. Been dabbling more & more into the House of Creed. Just got a 75ml bottle of Royal Mayfair for like $100 on FragranceNet. So far got Aventus (of course), Millesime Imperial, Himalaya, Royal Mayfair, and a small decant of Silver Mountain Water. SMW will probably be my next purchase, the versatility of it is really winning me over. That & Royal Water would complete my collection of scents I'd want to own from them. However, haven't tried Green Irish Tweed. Royal Oud & Bois de Portugal are nice, just a little on the mature side for me. I'm only 25 haha.
Hey did creed viking 120 ml ever came in square bottle flask type?
Where are some good spots to buy creed fragrances online? I heard you say you purchased your Aventus from a store in Canada. Great video thank you!
FragranceNet and Facebook groups are currently your best bet. I got my Aventus from a Canadian seller on eBay, can get some really good deals on eBay but have to be careful and do plenty of research
Chaos Fragrances I just made a purchase from Fragrancebuy.ca that’s why I asked about the Canadian seller. Haven’t tried fragrance net yet. I mostly purchase splits but I’m looking forward to getting some full bottles of creed scents I have really been enjoying.
FragranceNet has the best prices as of late, but beware their shipping is slow. I’m willing to deal with it because they run great clearance deals especially on niche fragrances like Creeds. Check out Fragrance Swap on Facebook, Creed bottles are being sold a lot there
Awesome sounds good! Subscribing to your channel and look forward to more info on your creed scents. Thank you!
I'm in Canada and buy from FragranceX. I'd rather support Canadian retailers but FragranceX is cheaper than Fragrancebuy because of the taxes. If you're in the US you get way more perks from them.
I bought sealed creed perfumes how do I find out it’s real without opening packaging please
Is this also the case for the woman fragrances?
great video man! have yall bought a creed tester before? i got a tester of silver mountain water recently and it checks all the authentic tips in this video, and i had an official sample before i got that and the tester smells exactly the same and it lasted around 8 and half hours and at the point my family said they could still smell me at arms length
Great information sir.
I have had a bottle of MI for a few years now and everything appears to be ok... the outer ring is white the box came without plastic but I can't find the batch number. It has creed engraved if you will on the bottom but there is no sight on a batch code stamp. Not on the back or bottom... Is that a sign its fake?
It’s normal for batch codes to rub off, whether it’s been etched on or in ink. If everything else checks out it’s most likely legit
Thanks a lot man!
@Chaos Fragrances
Where can I purchase legit Creed @ good prices? Thanks
FragranceNet, FragranceX, etc
Thanks 👍🏽
Hi please where is de best place to buy creed Aventus?
maybe the batch code are printed on different area for different year to spot out fakes? If the batch code is for 2016 and it was printed on the wrong location then the bottle could be fake?
Hello Chaos Fragrances. I enjoyed watching your video. Excellent. I wish that you included a showing the bottom of black bottle Creed Green Irish Tweed. I checked mine, as you stated, has the black outer ring & a small white inner ring; thus, fake. Hope that there are more than 1 fact to draw a conclusion it was a fake. Ugh, so many fake items out there. Best.
Helpful. Thanks
Nice bro very informative
I really wish I'd noticed this video sooner. I bought an Aventus Creed 120 ml from a seller three weeks ago. I tried it, and it was weaker than I thought, so I was thinking oh well I guess ppl around me can smell it but not me. But no, neither I or my friends could feel anything, even minutes after sprayed on. Here's what I found out about the product:
- It has no logo on the atomizer
- the sticker on the bottom on the box is not a sticker but just printed on
- the edges on the box is white, not black as it should have
- the inside of the atomizer is not white but metallic
Never buying perfume from sellers again.
How about the ones purchased from Amazon that are claimed to be watered down? Could they refill them with less potent versions? A friend of mine bought me some for Xmas, but the reviews were saying it didn't last longer than 2 hours of scent.
thank u. It was perfect
Pretty dope that you have the original 120 mL Aventus bottle. Unfortunately I have the newer 100 mL one (I say unfortunately because who wouldn’t want 20 more mL of the king for a lower price than the current retail???)
It’s a shame they discontinued them, they’re getting harder to find at a good price. I prefer the look of the 120ml bottles
so glad i got mine at the right time before prices went up. ordered directly from france 250 us for 120ml altogether
Good price! What site did you go through? Shipping has been really expensive when ordering overseas lately
site called incenza. dont think they carry the 120ml anymore. yeah ive seen the prices going up on them myself. incenza also has the aventus soap and after shave for good prices, shipping is reasonable aswell but there will be a border fee with taxes also.
Can you tell me abou that bach number of Aventus 17N01 is it balanced ?
It’s more of a darker batch, kind of similar to 16M01. Really good stuff and is overlooked compared to a lot of the other batches
Yeah ok Bro but just one more question doest it project well? i mean i have the same batch and the projection is very weak nobody can smell it , i heard stuffs like that it needs to mature a litlle bit and the more you use it the more it well project good is that true?
Mehdi MK A lot of the later 17 batches have beast performance, not much projection but definitely above average, sillage is excellent. I didn’t believe the “aging” tip either but it works man lol I’ve done it with a couple of my other fragrances as well. Trust me, just because you can’t smell it doesn’t mean the people around you can’t. Aventus is known for it’s olfactory fatigue and that’s more than likely what you guys experienced.
My bottle of aventus has a black inner ring but like a clear outer ring does this mean it's a fake? It passes the other tests so I feel like the bottle might be real but the juice really lacks in performance and projection. Like my farts last longer than this lol PLEASE HELP.
The outer ring shouldn't be any color other than white. DM me a pic of it on Instagram and I'll check it out to make sure
Alright I sent them
How do I authenticate a bottle of creed that is still wrapped and not opened
excellent video lad thanks for sharing this great informative video with a newbie!
I just bought my fiancee a bottle of Creed GIT....and learned from this video that the bottle is fake. So if the bottle is fake, does that mean the cologne is fake too?
