Paying retail is supporting price gouging at this point. In most cases retail is 60-100% more expensive than buying online. So this is probably the most important advice. Especially if you decide to resell your fragrance down the line.
just got Ralph's Club edt in yesterday. i still have the parfum and elixir... but the edt is my personal favorite. perfect for Summer. the elixir was too heavy for heat for me, and i prefer the edp for cooler weather and evenings. the edt is definitely the most versatile for sure, can easily wear it all year round. it's basically just a lite, less sweet, super fresh version of the parfum. surprisingly, it doesn't feel redundant to own the edt if you have others in the line. not a groundbreaking scent but it smells amazing and i see myself reaching for this one the most. i got around 4 hours longevity, with pretty solid projection for the first 2.
The Centaurus smells VERY similar to/ in the vain of Grand Soir. It's absolutely amber forward, and is not what you would expect, looking at the notes.
9:45 I had the classic Emporio He in early 2010s and two months ago I got that simplified, new version. The classic would last days on clothes (GF said that after hugging me, she'd smell those on her scarf for more than a month) and had amazing projection while smelling amazingly - probably the most complimented in my case, more than Stronger With You (though it's a tough competitor). I don't know what happened but I think I wasted 55€ having bought that new one - it's a complete dud. You spray it 5 or more times, smell some yuzu for 2-5min and there's nothing after that. No depth, no lasting freshness, no sweetness, literally nothing. I can't return it, so I can hope they get somehow better as the time goes but I can hardly imagine that. No more nostalgia buying, gotta go somewhere and smell them personally before ordering but I would love to hear that 2024 version really smells like the classic.
I had that Emporio Armani 1998 it was ok, to be fair that was before I knew about niche fragrances, I was only 18 so my experience was limited at the time.
When items is sold as collectors edition, it does not magically become a collector edition. Many times it becomes the exact opposite, and worth nothing.
I’ve tried Centaurus, based on what we know about Delphinus so far it seems like Creed is shifting over to being more like Parfums de Marly, and I am NOT here for it.
The Creed Triple aged is only a cash grab. In fact, when I purchased the latest Creed releases, I asked what is the new Aventus TA about? the retailer questioned there suppliers how can we sell this new Aventus when there are no real differences. The supplier responded, well, that’s why you work in this boutique. You need to find away.

@@brickcity_bori4591 It doesn’t officially come out until October. I got a decant and bottle and there is a small difference in scent and performance. Cash grab, maybe, but there is a definite difference you can pick up right away.
Wearing Ralph's Club EDT today. It's light, airy, amberwoods. Basically everything you smell at Sephora but lighter. I've worn it for two days in a row and performance seems 4-6 hours max. Nothing new and an odd release choice.
What is Erwin Creed thinking about?! I mean if it's the same fragrance, then what's the point of renaming it? Sometimes I don't get what people are thinking 🤷🤦
Just thinking about it and ralph's club is often compared to the Y line, and now polo 67 is compared to MYSLF. Is ralph lauren just a YSL clone house now ☠️
I don't mean to atack you Ash, not at all, but if the new Aventus is an obvious cashgrab...which it is...why support them by buying the product? Just get a sample and make a video from there and see if its worth checking out or not. I know sample reviews aren't your thing but im not sure us viewers would mind it. I might be wrong here tho and i realise that you buying a bottle comes across more authentic then reviewing off a sample but still...
I hope that if creed goes the designer mass appeal route that they at least continue to keep their identity/ DNA within the scents. If they can keep it from smelling teenager-ish I’m in.
I have 2 bottles of Absolu Aventus. No way I'm paying out for some "triple aged" version. I loved Absolu, and since it was touted as limited I quick snatched up another.
Absolu was my wedding day scent. I got a decant of triple aged and then bought a bottle. There is a definite small difference. It’s smoother, creamier, and longer lasting. Enough of a difference that I bought the triple aged. Definitely a more refined version
Just a thought.. more optically - I think a MacBook Pro would present better onscreen aesthetically - goes with the UA-cam subscriber plaque and the colour aesthetic you're going for.
Picked up a bottle of triple aged Absolu Aventus for $330🫠 Planning on vaulting it as the original Absolu was my wedding day scent. I tried a decant of it and there is some difference. Maybe a cash grab but still a small difference between the original. More refined, creamier, and longer lasting.
Definitely a cash grab again!! I wish people would stop buying Creed fragrances so they might realise they're ripping people off with poor performance and over priced frags, I know I'm kidding my self but here's hoping
That Ralphs Club release will be worth picking up. Not at retail of course. Never pay retail people.
Paying retail is supporting price gouging at this point. In most cases retail is 60-100% more expensive than buying online. So this is probably the most important advice. Especially if you decide to resell your fragrance down the line.
Where's the best place to buy ?
seriously i’m actually interested and im almost never for any ralph lauren
genuine question, where would you buy it for below retail??
11:00 Aventus segment!
Triple aged Aventus, it’s the one the astronauts wear
😂😂😂
Buy absolu wear it five times and let it sit for 6 months and boom you have the triple aged one
I agree. That's exactly what I did after buying a bottle last November. It's beginning to develop into a deeper and longer lasting scent.
Honestly most excited for Ralph's Club. The line works really well for me and the price is sadly refreshing.
Creed isn't gonna just let these clones win w/out a few cash grabs of their own first
I still think that a top 10 vetiver/barbershop/weird notes fragrances would be more than welcome.
Black Lacquer sounds very different and interesting. Really looking forwards to trying it out. Bottle would look sick on the shelf too.
Please Ash!!! Do a “Top 10 Fragrances I should be wearing to my Zoom Meeting” thanks 🙏

That TF looks like something Beaufort London would come out with.
I’m going to wear Hugo Reversed tomorrow now.
Lui is italian for He, on the original box or foil packaging I should say, it has the name in various languages all across.
I had that Emporio Armani 1998 it was ok, to be fair that was before I knew about niche fragrances, I was only 18 so my experience was limited at the time.
Same here it was alright back then i liked it
Just got a samples of creed Centaurus and delphinus yesterday
The Hugo Reverse is what I’m the most interested in 😮💨
Super excited for the HUGO boss reversed
I like Hugo boss reversed as a fragrance, I don't know about this 2024 release though, I'll give it a shot but we'll see
No one is answering this question, but where do we buy absolu aventus? Just from creed?
When items is sold as collectors edition, it does not magically become a collector edition. Many times it becomes the exact opposite, and worth nothing.
Thierry mugler new perfume is very well priced. Under $100

"Tripple aged" is just a marketing term, IMHO...

I wish they would have done that with the new Viktor & Rolf , just stopped anyone from buying it
Original Hugo reversed is a great scent
It s fantastic so nice kind of unique dna for a designer scent. Loooove it!;) a gem 💎
Got the Ralph's club edt coming in and I'm excited
Update. This fragrance is super versatile and I love the scent. However it doesn't last very long, which is to be expected from an EDT. But I love it.

Thank you Ash.
Absolu Aventus was released last year but somehow they’ve triple aged it. Story checks out

There is still citrus. Same note breakdown. It’s longer lasting, smoother, and creamier. I pick up a little more spice
