Thanks George. I'm looking at doing a few stores here in Toronto. I just have to visit a few and make connections. I have one good connection but he's very camera shy.
I hope that this kind of content may become more often coz its so informative and more of a conversation type that viewers also interested in. We want to also hear it from the men behind our loved perfumes...more power and God bless
Thank you for watching. This was very difficult to film and you can tell more in Luis face because we were getting interrupted over and over which is normal because we are filmed in a place of business during opening hours. This was our fourth time time trying to film in an hour so he appeared more frustrated. Thanks for watching.
great score on this interview! Just as a tip. Give your interview no time limit. You can always cut or adapt it later. I felt their could have been more bloom time in his explanations. I also felt dis ease like a prison guard was going to walk in an break it up. lol!!! Please don't take this the wrong way. I know it will enhance you future interview work. I've done on camera interviews before and found my self scanning for the next question. without letting the person finish answering. Think of it as flow. Alow yourself to be in the moment no time constraints in mind. Laughing set a pleasing mood and confortable setting. Let it stew and flow to the next question as a mater of descusion. thanks for the videos. Keep them rolling!!! Peace, Love, and Harmony. Rev. Alvin G.
+REVALG Thanks a lot for the tips. It wasn't as smooth because there were interruptions (the store was open), we were suppose to start this interview 90 minutes before we shot but couldn't because it was so busy, and we felt pressed for time as Al (fragrancefanatic1) was running quite late himself and we wanted to get this done before he showed up so that he can get to his video. He was suppose to do a major Q&A with Luis but got tied up on one of the highways due to an accident so we felt kinda pressured to get it done. Thanks for the recommendations though. I'm thinking about doing some more videos like this so I'll keep this in mind :)
Great job Chad. Luis is always very receptive. Did you had the opportunity to smell Creed Vetiver Geranium? Man, this stuff is very good. One of the most complimented Creed in my collection right now. Sillage is awesome and it has the potential to be the next Aventus IMHO, personally I think that Aventus smells better, but the compliments I got with this stuff is in the same category. The down side from this fragrance is green vibe which is different from others Creeds, I think people may not give the proper attention at the first sniff, but it works very well, much more than I expected.
Thank you and I don't believe I had a chance to smell it. I may have. I wasn't really there smelling a bunch of stuff to be honest. I was mostly just hanging out with the guys :)
First things first , incredible work on getting this interview. Hopefully you can get more of these . Second, I haven't had the chance to try Creed yet, but I will be going to Saks soon and I am excited about getting my nose on this. This store is the first boutique and it's only 5 years old. There has been a number of recent acquisitions in perfumery sector .Do you know if Creed is independently owned or if a company like LVMHF is looking at them ? Anyways, sandal wood and vanilla with spice , Santal sounds delicious . When I get to Saks I am going to have to try this . La Lebo has one . Going to try that too I really loved this interview .Great job.
Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. I'm sure you will love some of the Creeds. Regarding it being independently owned, I honestly couldn't tell you, sorry.
I love that guy with that amazing Tom Ford slightly pink shirt I absolutely love that shirt and the man is gorgeous. They are both gorgeous. Erwin is gorgeous and his perfumes are gorgeous. Make sure to play classical music in particular Mozart because he is from the same century when Creed was created.
Never got why aventus smells different from one run to another that has held me back from getting a bottle because once i do it will drive me crazy and start buying from every batch out there lol I hoping to get green irish tweed which seems to be consistent in smell :)
Strangely, enough, now that I think about your message that used to be my gripe but you are 100% so right! that is what I think keep;s me coming for more, every spray is different!
If we are ready to pay more money, it is better to purchase Creed Aventus from Creed Boutique. We can trust them. Also i like to have Creed perfume sets, including aftershave, shower gel, perfumed oil.
There were a few pretty nasty ones that I had to delete including a "go kill myself" remark which is rather kinda scary because its nothing more than scented alcohol and oils at the end of the day.
No. I never got it. My questions were about the quality of Creed Aventus. I recently got one that barely projected. Wanted your take on preferable batch that has extra kick
+Sonny Etienne Then I'm sorry but I am not able to answer your question. I am not a big fan of the fragrance and all these batch codes I just don't get. Some are better than others. This video may be able to help you out much more than I am. I am the comedic relief in it. ua-cam.com/video/iYcvsMtUz40/v-deo.html
This was horrible to watch. This is constructive criticism so please don't take it the wrong way. You seem so disinterested. Always looking around and seemingly not listening to Luis. You make the audience feel separated...you should take a look at George The Frag Apprentice and how he engages his audience. He is in a different league and you will learn from him. Good luck.
+Paul brayshaw Thank you for the advice, Paul. Believe or not but we were both a little frustrated as you can see in his expressions as well. We started this interview 90 minutes late because we kept getting interruptions, phone calls, and other things so we were a little bit both annoyed and frustrated by then. We were also trying to hurry because Al (FragranceFanantic1) was 2 hours late and was going to show up late himself so we were trying to rush and just overall our energies were off and we weren't ourselves. Going into this I was quite excited and looking forward until all this stuff happened but that's life and business so I cannot blame his customers as they come first(and should) over a simple video.
+AGentlemansJourney thank you for the reply. I usually love your videos and didn't mean any harm in my comment. Thank you for taking it the right way. Best of luck for future videos.
Thank you and no offense was taken. We were both just really frustrated with everything and we had a few more distractions along with the interview. I didn't recognize anything until someone pointed out Luis's reactions himself. Thanks for the support :)
I bought a sample of Aventus, smells amazing but for the price I think I'm better off buying a designer for half price and bigger bottle which can easily smell just as great.
Translation: Why should I pay a high price for high quality when I don't know the difference and would be just as happy with a cheap, common fragrance.
Let's gloss over for the fact that creed hasn't been making fragrances for 250 years....they received a royal warrant for tailoring articles. No /bottles/pictures/receipts or Royal commissions (for fragrance) have ever been provided to prove their perfume history. Personally I think it is b.s. to sell bottles.
+Sonny Etienne I tried but your settings will not allow me. Sorry man. If you have FB, please feel free to message me to my gents page or you can email me through YT.
I'm curious as to why Creed thinks it's a wise business decision they are making by selling smaller bottles of Aventus for the amount of money they currency charge? People constantly complain about the price of Creeds fragrance and decreasing the size of the bottle and giving the customer less juice will be the end of Creed and the Aventus hype train. 250 to 300 is a decent price for a 4 oz bottle.
Bacon and cheese has been stuffed into a crust I feel like the people that shit on Aventus are people that feel uncomfortable about the price. Aventus smells absolutely amazing on me, completely blows any designer fragrance away. Most -$100 fragrances smell kind of generic after owning Aventus. I plan on buying a lot more from Creed, Himalaya and Virgin Island smelled very good aswell. Haven't had them on my skin though.
Lots of good info, but terrible interviewer. Ignoring his facts, just blurting out what you want to say rather than playing off from him. Painful to watch, which is too bad because the Creed icon is fun to watch and interesting ... Interviewer needs a lot of work.
Awesome! Luis is very knowledgeable and a great guy. Thanks Chad, this was a very interesting video to watch!
This was so great Chad! A fun interview.
i'd like to see more of this kind of stuff, interviews and more in depth stuff from the people at the stores. great work Chad!
Thanks George. I'm looking at doing a few stores here in Toronto. I just have to visit a few and make connections. I have one good connection but he's very camera shy.
Great interview Chad!
Great stuff Chad, some fantastic content coming from you lately. Luis is such a pro and comes across so likeable.
Thanks Greg and yes he is indeed a likeable guy. What you see on camera is what you get in person.
Very cool Chad. Luis is a great friend and always looks out for me. Glad you had the chance to visit the Boutique. Great stuff my friend. :)
Luis is a very good person and is he's great with the customers.
Great interview Chad & Luis!
Thanks Mr. Bonilla :)
I love the birch in Aventus, really ties in well with the pineapple imo.
Great interview Chad. Luis is a good guy. If I'm back in New York, I want to stop by that place and tell him Big Al and Chad sent me :)
Jose Vancouver Big Al sure but I don't think he would remember me by name unless you said Chad from Toronto or something like that, lol
Cool interview, Chad! Enjoyed it, I know how you feel about Aventus.
I hope that this kind of content may become more often coz its so informative and more of a conversation type that viewers also interested in. We want to also hear it from the men behind our loved perfumes...more power and God bless

The Everyday Man I am sure I will also . And that's O.k. I haven't the foggiest either . great review my friend. Good honest work.
Creed is a family owned business.
Chad, I would love to see you go back and ask those exact same questions 🙏🏾
I would BUT he no longer works at the boutique. He got a promotion from what Al told me.
@@AGentlemansJourney77 thanks bro!
great vid

cool video! :D
Love Aventus. It's a living, organic juice. Every spray gives me something different.
One of the best scents of all time
+Nicky T The crazy thing is it merges so many other fragrances that its a classic. its simple but complicated at the same time.
Strangely, enough, now that I think about your message that used to be my gripe but you are 100% so right! that is what I think keep;s me coming for more, every spray is different!
Nice.
Just FYI @7:28 The nose behind Ananas Fizz by L`Artisan Parfumeur is Anne Flipo, not JCE.
If we are ready to pay more money, it is better to purchase Creed Aventus from Creed Boutique. We can trust them. Also i like to have Creed perfume sets, including aftershave, shower gel, perfumed oil.
browsing through the comments, it feels like only positive ones are displayed

Where did you buy Aventus? If it's a discounter, I'd suspect a fake or a bottle badly degraded by poor storage.
I love Aventus, it's one of the best smelling pineapple fragrance that i have ever smelled.
Its a decent scent but just doesn't work with my skin chemistry.
Thanks bro.
tell them to stop fucking up the batches, I want the original.
Nice interview, Aventis doesn't do it for me I just don't get it? But, green Irish tweed now that's always going to be in my top 5.
i knew you wouldn't have the balls to ask him about batch variations in creed and in aventus particularly!
FadeToBlack888 To be honest, it NEVER crossed my mind. I also don't care for batch numbers as its not important to me.
Just curious why you would think he wouldn't come to Toronto?
crimsinspin39 It was an inside joke as he has been up here plenty of times in the past.
Lou is a good friend of mine, him and Rodney are top notch.
Nicky T They are indeed very good people. I'll be seeing Luis in a few weeks probably when I come down from Toronto.
Luis' eye roll at 0:26 LMAO "thanks for coming in" yeah ok! haha
Nya Stclair Yeah I saw that as well. Oh well. I've gone back and bugged him but not with interviews :)
This was horrible to watch. This is constructive criticism so please don't take it the wrong way.
You seem so disinterested. Always looking around and seemingly not listening to Luis.
You make the audience feel separated...you should take a look at George The Frag Apprentice and how he engages his audience. He is in a different league and you will learn from him.

+Paul brayshaw well luis made a few mistakes in the video
I bought a sample of Aventus, smells amazing but for the price I think I'm better off buying a designer for half price and bigger bottle which can easily smell just as great.
+Pinoy Zoi wrong
+Pinoy Zoi z01 batch is worth every penny
13Z01 or 11Z01? The number represents the year it was released, in case you don't know off hand.
Translation: Why should I pay a high price for high quality when I don't know the difference and would be just as happy with a cheap, common fragrance.

None of which has anything to do with whether I like the fragrances or not.
Love Creed fragrances but not the price
Hey Chad, really like your channel. Could you PM me, I have a question for you about Creed Aventus
+Sonny Etienne I tried but your settings will not allow me. Sorry man. If you have FB, please feel free to message me to my gents page or you can email me through YT.

I understand where you are coming from but there's many devoted and loyal customers to Creed so I think they will be around for decades to come.
Because it's a luxury brand.
I still have never smelled Aventus. What kind of person am I? 😑
Wow, go to neiman, nordstrom or order a decant online man! You have to try it!
Bacon and cheese has been stuffed into a crust I feel like the people that shit on Aventus are people that feel uncomfortable about the price. Aventus smells absolutely amazing on me, completely blows any designer fragrance away. Most -$100 fragrances smell kind of generic after owning Aventus. I plan on buying a lot more from Creed, Himalaya and Virgin Island smelled very good aswell. Haven't had them on my skin though.
my wife loves aventus, but I don't care for it.
My fiance doesn't care for it neither do I. It smells good but just not with my skin chemistry.
BS count: 0:23 0:37 0:47 1:05 1:06 1:26 1:37 ... i'm tired
Lots of good info, but terrible interviewer. Ignoring his facts, just blurting out what you want to say rather than playing off from him. Painful to watch, which is too bad because the Creed icon is fun to watch and interesting ... Interviewer needs a lot of work.
First interview ever conducted and certainly the last. Not my type of video to do. Thanks for watching.
