I just opened my Aventus Cologne bottle about three minutes before watching this video. I agree with everything you said. AC is better in my opinion! Good video. Will check more out for sure.
Agreed. For a long time I never tried it because I blindly followed the advice from many reviewers that it was virtually indistinguishable from Individuel. When I finally tried it I was shocked. Original Santal is sooo much noticeably higher quality than Individuel it’s a joke. And it’s perfumed by the same guy so it’s hardly a copycat. Individuel is certainly easier on the wallet, but OS smells much, much better.
I’ve had both of these sprayed on either hand so I could compare them and while I liked the smell of Santal better, I felt that it wasn’t really versatile like Aventus cologne so I decided to buy Aventus Cologne. Dont you kinda feel like Santal is a date night fragrance? It’s really sweet and cherry like, I can’t really see wearing it to the gym or to work or anything. Maybe it’s just me.
First time I wore original santal was in the mall & some girls was going crazy trying to find out where the smell was coming from …I was literally running because they were following the sent trail
Best review of original santal i’ve seen, it’s a BANGER. Hope people keep sleeping on it. Very unique. Winter time put it on with a wool sweater, the thing works wonders.
I know this is an older video but for those just discovering the House of Creed, I agree with Ross regarding these two fragrances. They are two of my favorites from the house! Original Santal being my superior gentleman fragrance and Aventus Cologne being my daily grab and go for every occasion. You can’t go wrong with either, in my opinion! ☺️🤙🏽
Great review Ross.. i love aventus cologne the orange, ginger and vetiver just pops off my skin but unfortunately i only get about 4 hours.. might try santal again my first impression was it didnt fit the Creed profile like Himalaya and M Imperial does
I am glad you showed your lot number because I purchased a couple creed fragrances and when I looked up the lot number, it did not exist. I thought I got fakes.
My wife brought me a bottle of Erolfa back from a Vegas trip because she liked the smell so much. I had never smelled it but now I had to wear it no matter what. Well, turns out Erolfa is just fantastic!
Aventus Cologne takes me back to 90s style colognes for some reason. I love it. There is a Lagerfeld that reminds me of it...I wish I could remember the name.
If I sent you a fitted Dodgers hat, would you wear it ? I have the colognes. I prefer them and I really enjoyed the cologne of Viking the most. Absolutely agree with you and I got an old bottle too. Go Dodgers 💯
Ross do you get the harsh opening in original santal that mont blanc gives off or maybe it’s just been the bottles I had a lot of alcohol from initial blast from Mont Blanc
The issue I've always had with Individuel was the raspberry-ish sweetness mixing with the dryer sheets cleanliness that caused that starting harshness. It was kind of like a sweet-sour-clean scent that took a bit of getting used to. I had been hoping to try Original Santal to see if it curbs that harshness, so I might try it now.
Hey Ross, I've never smelled Aventus Cologne, but I have Insurrection II Sport by Rayane Tradition. I heard they're like 90% similar. Can you tell me if that's accurate?
@@TLTGReviews That'd be cool. I'd like to hear your thoughts. It's the only thing in my collection that smells like that. Pretty unique scent. 100 ml was like $25.
You need to try Insurrection Soprt! Man!! I own two bottles of Aventus Colomge because I love it! But Insurrection sport is sooo close man! And is only $25
I got my nose on Original Santal about a month ago and was just blown away. I have it on my list and will be getting it shortly. Aventus Cologne I actually like a lot, tried a sample of it and it was good not as amplified but still good. I wonder would it get an extra kick layering it with Eccentric Molecule 01 ISO E Super?

I actually prefer aventus cologne over the original. It was a love at first sniff. I enjoy the original DNA but this suits me way more. And I’m not the only one apparently because I was wearing a decant and a woman CHASED ME DOWN at Target to ask me what I was wearing and said she was going to buy it immediately (yes I even told her the price). My wallet hates me for it but I’m buying a 100ml bottle of this one.
Love my Creed Original Santal, it is beautiful…

Original Santal is the most underrated from the house, IMO. It’s much more versatile than most people think. Both of these are bangers, though.

@@trancebruh3231I’m bout done with my Mont Blanc, do U think OS is blind buy worthy. I think mont Blanc is a solid 8 for a cheapie

It’s the most beautiful oriental I’ve ever smelled… except Guerlain Oriental series. 😉
Love love love both of those…

I forgot to mention… I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I use them both in the high-heat! 😅🔥
I got a 2021 bottle of aventus cologne I bought in 2023. I get around 9 hrs out of it and yes I like it better than my aventus.
Original santal is my fave cologne ever. I need to try the aventus cologne
OS is better trust me
Ordered my bottle of Creed Aventus Cologne, cant wait 😊
An its rly rly nice 🔥🔥

Creed aventus cologne is my favorite freshy from the house
I'm trying Europa it is awesome they have a 10 mil decant
I would buy both if they weren't so expensive. Both smell absolutely amazing.
I have a 10 ml of Santal I need to use up. Forgot I had it. Wasn't in love with it, but I'm re-interested
I enjoy Aventus cologne more than the original
I love Aventus cologne! If you don’t want to spend the money yet, ADG Profondo will give you that type of feel.
These are really good. I also love Himalaya and Erolfa
My wife brought me a bottle of Erolfa back from a Vegas trip because she liked the smell so much. I had never smelled it but now I had to wear it no matter what. Well, turns out Erolfa is just fantastic!
You and me have kinda similar taste in perfumes. Thanks for Adg Absolu recommedation loveeee it
Absolu in the fall is a compliment machine.
Aventus Cologne takes me back to 90s style colognes for some reason. I love it. There is a Lagerfeld that reminds me of it...I wish I could remember the name.
I'm on a life-long search for the best Sandalwood fragrance in existence. Is Original Santal that fragrance?
one of for sure
If I sent you a fitted Dodgers hat, would you wear it ? I have the colognes. I prefer them and I really enjoyed the cologne of Viking the most. Absolutely agree with you and I got an old bottle too. Go Dodgers 💯
I have several Didgers hats that I have worn many times on this channel
Original santal is amazing creed fragrance one of my absolute favorite very long lasting great compliment getter
Do you have creed top 10 video. I really like your review style.
I do not. I don't own 10 Creed fragrances
original santal is one that is somewhere in the 20-25 range on my wishlist, has been for around 1.5 years I want to say.
Hello Ross this is LaTonya love your Channel
You know what you talking bout when you brought out original santal. It reminds me of Lacoste white but richer and niche level.
which one you prefer?
Jus got AC for $230 3.3oz, 4 sprays & it’s been my goto gym scent 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Nice review 🔥love the video Ross stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Fab stuff!❤
Fantastic review ❤
Ross do you get the harsh opening in original santal that mont blanc gives off or maybe it’s just been the bottles I had a lot of alcohol from initial blast from Mont Blanc
No. Not at all.

It was kind of like a sweet-sour-clean scent that took a bit of getting used to. I had been hoping to try Original Santal to see if it curbs that harshness, so I might try it now.
Maybe the ginger or juniper berries. I get that opening too which made me not want to wear it initially
Hey Ross, I've never smelled Aventus Cologne, but I have Insurrection II Sport by Rayane Tradition. I heard they're like 90% similar. Can you tell me if that's accurate?
I havent' tried it. I'll grab it soon and compare

It smells like club de nuit to me
Aventus Cologne is so good. Longevity FOR ME is insane. About 8-10 hours believe it or not. I love this frag so much.
I showed my friend in store the other day and first thing he said was ‘you like the really strong ones’. Boy was it strong, I was genuinely surprised!
100 ml blind buy between those two which one would you grab?
Aventus Cologne by a very slight margin
How close are Santal and Mont blanc individual???
Very similar in the opening but goes in different directions in the drydown to me.
original santal is 🔥
I smelled this today i want a bottle
HELP!!! I currently wear aventus, but I've only smelled Santal and love it, but never worn... Honestly, WHICH IS BETTER WITH THE LADIES?

Ah so FragranceNet is legit huh? do you bought a lot of fragrances from them???
Over the years, at least 150. Probably more though

You don't have to try anything that you don't want to. I enjoy it
Santal is amazing
