I've been using Aventus since 2010. It was 120ml and amazing. Set the bar in masculine niche fragrances. Then after 2017, they made the bottle smaller, kept the same price and weakened it. It barely lasts 6 to 8 hours whereas before, it used to last 12 plus. Atleast on my skin. The issue is the reformulation, less product and same price. To me, it is feels like a money grab and for $450, that is unacceptable marketing/business decision to the consumer.
Blackrock. I can no longer give money to Creed.
@@travisn346 black rock..... The investment group? They are connected?
@@pbc_03ye, it was that group, but now Creed was sold to Kering franchise (Gucci’s owner)
YOUR answer sums it up....plus the clones.
@travisn346 this too.
Just purchased my first Creed Aventus 3.3 oz. “F” batch.
I took all of what you covered in the video into consideration before purchasing and none of it swayed my decision.
At the end of the day it’s Creed Aventus and like you said they have the clones but that’s what they are clones”. 110% satisfied with my purchase.
Much success! God bless!
Great points
I’ve been wearing it since it came out. Haven’t found anything else that beats it. Works very well for me.
Not gonna lie decided to wear Aventus last week after almost a year and got 2 compliments asking me what it was. It still gets the job done a commands attention.
What’s happening Darren, I’m a new subscriber who truly digs this channel. Creed can still hold its reign if it’s allowed to just sit & wait for it’s time, just as a classic car would, hence the 1964 Thunderbird & so on. I started my journey of buying colognes my junior and senior years in high school (1982/1983). I recently thought of what was my true first bottle of designer cologne I ever purchased. Here’s my list from the young age of 17.
1) Polo Ralph Lauren
2) Aramis
3) Aramis 900
4) Devin
5) Lagerfeld
6) Grey Flannel
7) Halston Z-14
8) Halston 112
9) Givenchy Gentlemen
10) Givenchy Monsieur
But there is one I couldn’t remember right of hand & then it hit me ! And that’s SANTOS de Cartier. Now that’s the classiest of scents that when I smell it, it reminds me of the good ole times of the early 1980’s. So to me this fragrance will always be dear to my heart and will remain timeless no doubt. This fragrance was crafted in 1981 & this scent is the epitome of a man’s cologne. This is produced in France during the time Cartier held down the watch Game. So My two favorite fragrances of all time are Givenchy Gentlemen (1974) & SANTOS de Cartier (1981) Just sit back and relax & watch how Creed will be celebrated just like an old Classic Vintage Car @BowTie FragranceGuy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It’s one of the best in the game. I just wish Creed will stay Creed and the company stop adding extra to it. Like, just leave it as it is.
Creed Aventus was is and always will be the king coz that name that fragrance inspired many many people including myself to the fragrances realm ❤
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Creed Aventus it's a 10 out of 10 in my opinion and I agree with you a 1000 percent and have a blessed night
Let me CLEAR THE AIR….
1. Most of you dudes don’t even have the look or swag to wear Creed….this house is for a gentleman, one’s who’s not in a rush, one who don’t mind his fragrances sitting and maturing for a while. He’s not trying to have the strongest smelling cologne in the room because he’s confident and know he already owns the room
2. you have to PAY to PLAY…If you can’t afford it then say that but don’t hate on something you can’t afford
3. I have Bond no9, Tom Ford, PDM and others and those houses are great but Creed doesn’t have that alcohol/synthetic smell…..I truly believe this is quality ingredients
Great video! It may be the end, but the king will live on! When will your fragrance ship waiting on my shipment 😂
Just bought a new bottle. Recent batch. Still great! Can't measure against old batches because I'm new to fragrance. It gets lots of compliments, lots of attraction. I often still smell it on me in the mornings declothed before a shower! Efficienados might squak about a lowering of quality but its still my top weekend night out scent! I also have a new batch of Creed Green Irish Tweed which is also fantastic!
How many sprays?
How long does it last?
It's still a fire scent! Same got a new batch. I can't stop smelling it. Yeah it last about 7-8 hrs for me
@@lazar_design2 for me 7-8 hrs on skin
Aventus layered with baccarat 540. Nuff said
I prefer Nishane Hacivat personally to Creed Aventus💯💯💯
Hacivat gang
Preach I'll take Hacivat over Aventus
Yes sir 👍🏾
noo smell like orange powder in hot weather 😂😂
Never!!!! Aventus will always reign supreme!!!! 😎💯
It’s still the #1 selling niche Fragrance in the world in 2022. I ran out of my old 2018 bottle last year, which was my 4th bottle and got the new one last year. Not as good, but still good enough to pay $220 for a tester on Jomashop. The other bottles I bought retail because I didn’t know about discounters back then.
Nupe, I’ve been wearing Aventus for 8 years. I’m officially retiring this fragrance. I bought a bottle 3 months ago and it only lasts an hour on my skin or clothing. The formula has changed and there are too many alternatives.
Yap, the original formula has changed. Haven't touched my original bottle in years as it simply isn't what it was. Also, too many people smell like it, or a clone of it.
@geoffrey8221 Yes clones are great 😊 and affordable
Which perfumes as an alternate of creed ???
@@TheDigerian ua-cam.com/video/VIEe2nbjBI0/v-deo.html
@@TheDigerian also see Hworth3 comments
Aventus is the very first fragrance i purchased when i got into fragrances. I loved it immediately of course. Followed by Original Santal. I have approximately 100 fragrances, 99% niche. Aventus is the only bottle i finished and bought another bottle. I hadn't worn it in awhile. And when i did about a month ago, i literally got 3 compliments that day. It's still by biggest easy reach when i can't decide what to wear and still one of the most diverse fragrances
"come at the king, best not miss"
I’m probably the only person in the comments that caught that Omar reference
@@LordsNeverWorry32212Greatest line in tv history…Omar was crazy
I was blessed in 2018 i worked at Enterprise and a renter left a full bottle of Creed Aventus and YSL (i forgot which one) in a vehicle and everyone knew i was a cologne guy so we put it in a safe for 90 days and after no return communication from the renter...they let me have both...and that right there KICKSTARTED my niche fragrance journey
Sounds like you manifested bro. Rs
I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse though lol Because the amount that leaks through your pocket from niche fragrances is telling.
I know you ain’t sleep on the 89nth night lol 😅
@@coreywilkins9083 i was up like an overnight trucker ya hear me!!
Damn that’s a story to tell I would prob have save that bottle
Hands down….. Creed Aventus is my favorite cologne. I get so many compliments when I wear it. The very essence of “Masculinity”.
Wouldn't go that far. It's a safe male fragrance but if you want a fragrance that exudes masculinity and is unmistakably masculine there are many others.
@@cyberathlete Which fragrances would you say are masculine. I own others: Parfums de Marly, Boadicea the Victorious, Roja, Nishane, Amouage, etc.
@@Ronin_NoirAmouage Interlude, Bois d'Ascèse by Naomi Goodsir, Derby by Guerlain, Patchouly by Profumum Roma to name a few. These are as manly as they come.
And I own all of them. In my collection these are unmistakably manly
@@cyberathlete Amouage Interlude man I have also aka the Blue Beast. I have to be careful how much I spray on. You can clear a room the projection is so strong. I love Layton Royal Essence also as my favorite. But my favorite will always be Creed lol. There are cheaper versions: Tiziana Terenzi Orion, Nishane Hacivat, etc but it’s something about that woody citrus musk and Vetiver scent. I’ll put the other 3 you mentioned on my list.
Aventus just works. I’ve noticed a bottle of Aventus will smell different everyday. Based off the weather.
Some days it’s more green,
some days it’s more gold,
Some days it’s more white.
Some days my bottle will last 1 hour, and the next day, the same bottle will last 8 hours.
I truly believe the weather affects my bottles smell. Works better in humid / hot weather.
Niche perfumery and the ingredients always find a way to work with the situation.
Mann you said this perfectly on my skin I swear it change’s throughout the day. 1 minute it’s a oak mossy smell, then sometimes I get the pineapples, then I even get a smoky smell
My first favorite fragrance cologne was Polo during the 80's then JPG LeMale came during the 90's,, but over time new fragrances will comes out with new unique notes and the old fragrances will smell like it's antique. And now there is a lots of nice smelling clone fragrances coming from Saudi Arabia, that you can buy at a much lower discounted price than the name brands.
Polo was my first l like from my father’s collection as a kid. Next was Drakar Noir that my mom bought me. JPG was my first love that I purchased my self as an adult. Now it’s Molecule 02 , Creed Aventus edp & Creed Cologne
Hi Darien. Long time fan. Will you consider reviewing Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 fragrances??? Thanks
My second choice is Armaf Club de Noit. I really like Aventus, but for me, it doesn't last that long. I do 4 sprays (2 upper chest and 2 on the neck).
2 on each wrist for your own enjoyment through out the day…2 on neck, 2 on clothes
Still a fantastic fragrance. I have two different batch numbers. I wear them all the time and they last all day for me.
Aventus may have been cloned but can never be dethroned.
It will always be remembered as one of the most complimented fragrances.
Hats off to the legendary perfumer Olivier Creed. 🫡
Aventus was made by Jean Cristoph Herault
That was awkward 😂
recently got a bottle from batch f000545 and I myself CANNOT smell it on my skin or straight from the bottle. However, each and every single time I’ve worn it I’ve gotten multiple compliments many hours into my day. Yesterday I had a 12 hour work shift So i decided to just use 5 sprays on my skin and 10 hours into my shift two of my lady coworkers said i smelled amazing each time i walked by. I find this really interesting because I can smell all of my fragrances EXCEPT Aventus but Aventus has gotten me the most compliments out of my six Creed fragrances. can say i love it!
Great video bro hey I have a question for you if you had to choose between beach hut man and 40 knots which one you going with?
I know the question is not for me, but i have both those fragrances and love them almost equally. But if i were forced to pick only one, i would go for Beach Hut.
@@miguelmoreno6263 thanks bro I appreciate that
40 knots a dawg too don’t get it twisted .. past the 6 hour mark I’m getting reactions I’ve never seen before people wanna know what I have on instantly…. It’s so unique & beast , beach hut man is really good too though… so why not both 😂
Bowtie what's going on with SANTA LUCIA cologne bundles? They not sending costumers there product. You vouching for them right???
Hey bro much respect. If you got Gucci pour homme 2 please do a review. That fragrance is a masterpiece.
I've never bought it because there's no justification for it being so expensive. There are other heritage niche perfumers, Floris for example and none of their frags sell for anything over $310.0 for a 100 ml bottle. Most of them are around the $120.00 to $180.00 price point. I can guarantee that the fragrance oils they use are equal to or better than Creed.
It still reigns king ….. people are still imitating this scent TIL THIS DAY baccarat is second in demand
17n01 is my all time favorite 😍. It's what Aventus should be 💪😎💯🍍
I use Club de Nuit Intense.... Creed is too expensive for me. I don't care what people think about that. The price is literally the only reason I didn't go with the original, and I don't buy a lot of clone fragrances at all.
Try the real thing at one point
Naw let him keep wearing CDNI. Long as they say what they’re wearing. Caught a few fellas lying about wearing Aventus.
@@jayb7810 i wear L'aventure to the gym, but is any of the clones like real Aventus, not really.
You have to try the real thing.
Pineapple vintage is the closest for me although still pricey
@@kishcub Aventus costs 230 euro in Europe and Pineaple around 100.
At that point i would rather go buy a real deal
I own multiple bottles and love the new batches
Yo bow tie, any idea what’s up with Bon Vivant? I ordered it day 1 and a month later it still hasn’t arrived.
You know what’s up?
Creed Aventis is the king and I got 1 bottle of original and 2 clones ❤🔥💯👍
Can you tell me what facebook groups these are? I would be 1000% interested in trying one of these holy grail batches
Bought my first bottle recently and my girl loves it on me. I think the price is why it's not jumping off the shelves any more. The economy is getting wonky
I just got this in the mail 2 days ago, wore it the past 2 days. I bought C.B, MBE, CDNM all before j bought Aventus. Smells just like CB imo, and MBE but with amboroxan and CDNM minus the opening for 10 mins. Save your money
I have the 120ml and 100mi and I interchange using them and I noticed when ever I switch using one it’s smell better and last longer and the colour also darkens. I have club de nuit intense which is stronger than creed, and i get a lot of compliments but I still prefer creed
The perfumer may be over but the perfume is still THE WINNER....one may flirt with other perfumes but y'all will ultimately bow down to THE KING
My take on why Aventus has sort of diminished the last few years:
1) There were no decent clones until at least 2016/2017. Remember Insurrection or Glenn Perry Glenn Ross or whatever it was called? Awful early clones meant you had to buy Aventus to get Aventus
2) The "Aventus DNA" has worked its way into so many modern men's fragrances. Saw it in the 80s with Polo and Drakkar. Been seeing it for several years now with Aventus. You can get your fill of the Aventus "thing" with a different twist
3) So many clone options now of reported decent quality. Parfums Vintage, Dua, Alexandria, Club Nuit... Hell, at this point Aventus is basically a clone of itself
3) Expansion of grey market. It's not just the mall kiosks and fragrancenet/fragrancex any more. If you know where to look, you can get a current bottle from a retail shop for a decent price
4) Expansion of online sales groups. Fragranceswap on reddit and fb, etc. Lots of people who have bottles that fell off trucks in one way or another.
5) Glut of decanters. I remember having to buy "overpriced" decants of Creed and Tom Ford 10 years ago. I say overpriced because they were very reasonable based on retail prices, but there were only a handful of people doing it on basenotes, so you had to pay. Now there are so many people decanting with super thin margins. Couple that with decanters' improved access to grey market or otherwise cheap flacons that they take into account when setting a cheap decant price, buying a 50 ml decant often makes a lot more sense than buying a 50 ml bottle, especially if you already have a bottle for your collection
6) Lumping in all the reformulations, price increases, size decreases, etc.
I'm in 🇺🇸 . I can't speak for other countries in the world. But here, were feeling alot of scarcity. Fragrances may not be one of the items to be stockpiling right now?
I been using viking lately it's so strong
What is the name of the background beat when you’re talking please?
Best fragrance in the universe ✨️
Just sold by 2019 batch two weeks ago. Beautiful fragrance but for me there was no enjoyment after like 20 min. I get noseblind to this fragrance really fast, same goes for Elysium. Something about all those natural ingredients doesn't work with my nose. Asked friends about my fragrance, somehow no one really noticed it, projection seems on the lighter side. All in all not worth keeping for me, if I can't enjoy the fragrance myself.
I only got another bottle last year just because of nostalgia and respect for the fragrance as it was my first niche… but if im honest…hacivat and kajal lamar has replaced aventus in my rotation of sig. scents
It's the clones. They're freaking awesome
The biggest lie ever sold. Every clone is wack. Don’t even push that agenda
@@dlrsnate5100don’t be mad you overpaid
@@APEringz Aventus will forever have its place. Clones are for bones.
The clones suckkkkkk so bad
@@dlrsnate5100 club de nuit intense limited edition smells better an last longer
Creed will always be king!
It's just not the same anymore. I still have my first bottle from 2012 which I only use on special occasions. I purchased two of the newer batches and it doesn't even last for a good 4 hours in my opinion. The quality just isn't the same since the company got sold.
A lot of guys i know have went to bond no 9 but creed still one of my favorite
Bond is too synthetic every one of their fragrance has that alcohol smell on initial spray it’s like low quality (to me)
Creed has that natural smell not too loud, no alcoholic smell just smell natural
@@user-pp9bl5gr1n I feel you
The only compliment I have received from this one was from my mother in law. I think she said it to be nice
I bought a big bottle of Aventus a few months ago and I'm good
My bottle OF AVENTUS is from 2012 or 2013 and I have to be honest ROYAL OUD IS MY FAVORITE
I have over 24 fragrances of Creed. I enjoyed them very much. My wife has 5 and counting.
I'm on my second bottle of Creed Aventus in a span of 4 months!! I've never went thru two bottles of any type of cologne in that time span. It still reigns SUPREME!! You can wear it any season. And I get many compliments from this...especially from the ladies.
How many sprays do you use??
Wait a min…. 100mL is roughly 1400 sprays /4 = 350 sprays a month / 25 days a month = 14 sprays per use.
Is that how you’re spraying it?? 14 sprays per use? ….And wearing it 6 days a week ?
This can't be real
Cap
If you never had the original formulation you have no idea how good it was. Now it's trash
how is the projection and performance of new creed aventus batches?
I like it but the problem is that I either go nose blind to it quickly or it doesn’t last that long. Either way I don’t enjoy it for that long especially when I consider that fact that I can get a middle eastern fragrance for under $50 that outperforms it.
I saw an article on google that they fixed creed, now it last at least the whole 8 hours, which batch do you have?
Been using Creed a long, long time
You have to think also, there’s so many GREAT clones and dupes now compared to 5 years ago. The clones now are absolutely niche quality, so the relevancy of the original product isn’t as high anymore.
Yep the price went up and the longevity went down 😮
My colleagues from 2nd floor was noticing my arrival to the office with this fragrance, good old times. I don't understand how can a regulation/reformulation knocks down this beast.
I think they've lost the original recipe.
Thoughts on ATH Supernova?
I prefer aventus cologne and most people seem to also prefer the smell on myself…but even with that I wear aventus for me and just enjoy the scent it is in fact a masterpiece that puts me in a certain headspace and reminds me of a time when I first smelled it.
aventus cologne is kinda pointless to buy though because the only thing that made aventus better than the clones was the pineapple and most clones didn't have pineapple and aventus cologne doesn't have pineapple.
@@GrowingDownUnder it’s definitely not pointless, till this day Aventus Cologne is my most complimented fragrance. Smells awesome
@@GrowingDownUnder I don’t follow your logic…it’s better than aventus especially with the ladies that’s got damn fact
@@D2Briggs yeah most complimented because you never tried better fragrances lol. You want to be the most complimented then Kajal Lamar will definitely get way more compliments than aventus. Louis Vuitton L'immensite get way more compliments than aventus cologne. Xerjoff uden way more compliments. Goldfield & banks sunset hour, versace dylan blue, kajal dahab, PDM percival, PDM sedley, by the fireplace, mont blanc individuel, YSL Y EDP, navitus lyrik, navitus siesta drive, SHL god of fire, mercedes club black, rochas moustache EDP, etc...these get you way more compliments. Even for creed fragrances Millesime imperial and original santal get more compliments than aventus does so it's not even the most complimented creed fragrance either
@@coleandda7475 my point is that if you want aventus without pineapple aka aventus cologne then the clones are better. But there's no clones better than original aventus none can do the pineapple better than original aventus. So if you want the best aventus then creed aventus is still the best. If you want the best aventus cologne (aka without pineapple) obviously Al haramain L'aventure beats aventus cologne hands down as well as many other aventus clones out there
Well, the BowTie FragranceGuy hit the nail on the head. I'm in a lot of the fragrance groups on Facebook, and I also know from my own experience, that Creed Aventus used to be a beast of a fragrance and I had no regrets buying my first bottle at full retail price directly from Creed; but the batches after 2017 became extremely weak and didn't quite hit the same scent profile as the older batches. So considering the price, the fact that it doesn't smell the same, and it doesn't last as long, I'll still have it in my collection, but it's not my favorite. To me, it's a totally different fragrance.
Older batches go for a hefty premium in the groups, so be prepared to pay up if you're nostalgic for an older bottle. It's still a solid fragrance, but it has definitely lost its luster.
I bought travel size sample of Aventus from microperfumes did not smell, like the batch that I got years ago from perfumecpurt, which was to die for
I think people have been trying to tear down Aventus for years while simultaneously cloning it into oblivion. Nah, it's still the king. I have several hundred bottles, Aventus is still my favorite.
As for people not buying bottles in fragrance groups, it's probably because by this point the people who can afford it have it and the people who can't own Club de Nuit Intense Man or something.
How many people celebrated it's downfall last year while it still became the best selling niche scent of 2022? Exactly, the sky isn't falling.
Gotta Pay to Play and most don’t have the money to Play…….clones are good when houses try to inflate prices and water things down
But nothing like the original and if the masses had the funds I’m sure they would get Creed
Brother BowTie; I noticed that you don’t mention CREED ORIGINAL VETIVER! What are your thoughts on this one?
The only one that I ever loved out of Creed's portfolio of fragrances is Millesime Imperial and THAT is the only one I have ever purchased.
What's the Prince of fragrances?
Jason blaha's armpit sweat
I'd say Dior savauge fits that.
Baccarat
@@blAckevans yeah true, I would've said it's more of the Queen of fragrances since it's VERY popular amongst women even tho it's unisex. Those two rule on top together.
I've sold all my aventus clones and i'm done with that dna now, i've tried enough clones i'm bored of it now. I really liked vivamor and intense cedrat boise though but sold those too because I needed money don't think i'll buy them again though
There’s also the scandal that got more known because of the book, ghost perfumer, where the history, perfumer and known/celebrity people that said has worn the fragrance is a sham. The fragrance is still good, scent of acentus is revolutionary at that time but since the book release, youtube influencers shy away or limit their reviews on creed fragrances, even the new release like wild flower and new spring flower is non existent on bigger youtubers
I think Aventus Cologne is the real king. I live in La though and it's fresher and performs better.
I have regular Aventus 2021 batch I’ve had it sitting around at first it was weak like everyone says sprayed yesterday 🔥🔥🔥 could smell next day nuclear
I agree with a previous comment. The clones are amazing. Especially Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Limited Edition.
That fragrance is Creed's kryptonite😅
Agree
I have that and it’s far too woody/smokey not bad per se but not on the same level as the real deal. The drydown it has is better but at first it’s to much
Nothing beat the original….yes clones can make improvements on the original but I will always support the original
Hands down my best perfume of all time, especially 2010 - 2016 batches.
By the way if someone is interested I have a BNIB 120 ml 16A21 for sale
Martin is the 🐐 of black sitcoms, IMO
I think you are spot on with why it is not king anymore but, I have to say the new F batches are pretty good you can get about 8 hours on skin and on clothes a good 10. I tried mine last week and was laying on the couch and it got on my throw pillow and I could still smell it for days after. The Creed rep and Nordstrom told me they had got a lot of feedback for the poor performance and these batches addressed that issue. So far I'm happy with my new batch. I had a 2022 batch and it was horrible Nordstrom exchanged that one for the new batch.
I love Creed, but i have to admit i get more compliments when i wear Pineapple vintage intense.
A lot of the Aventus bottles sit for sale because of the batch hype BS. The only bad batch I came across was the most recent So Post sample. I think it was an H batch. It smelled really good, but it lasted maybe an hour. And zero birch to my nose.
The thing is; Aventus will always be king. A 13 year old fragrance that's still being talked about as much as the day it came out and still as popular in 2023. No other fragrance will ever beat that or even come close.
I had A bottle for awhile not never really used it since i got 60 bottles and people around my area dont use neiche more designser so i can get away still using it and not smelling like everyone .
My scent split 5mL sample gives me about 2 hours with 20 minutes of projection. I have been afraid by purchase because the lack of performance in that sample in REAL!
I agree I got a sample and to me I didn't see the hype I mean the smell definitely wasn't anything amazing I liked other of my colognes better
I think it's a combination of global inflation/recession and the fact that people are now (maybe for the first time) doing the cost-benefit analysis, and realizing that there are a lot of great clones for 1/10th the price
Clones are good with companies try to water down and inflate but must always respect the original house who created it
Loewe Escencia EDP is incredible and way, way cheaper. But many of the clones smell amazing now, too.
Yes, Loewe Escencia EDP is the Spanish Creed Aventus that many people don't talk about. It is the best smelling Creed Aventus alternative for the price. My mom's friend loved the way it smelled so much on me that she asked what I was wearing, and now wants to buy it for her husband.
It’s one of the best, I had the same batch you have, but they’ve killed it by reformulating and making it weaker and charging people more. It’s had a great run but now you have Hacivat, Jet Black Intense, Supernova, Club de nuit intense, Cedrat Boise and all the others that are cheaper, smell better, last longer
Cedrat Boisé has nothing to do with Aventus smell wise although it's great ... and CDNI smells chemical and disgusting and has NNNNOOOOTHIIINNGGG to do with the original Aventus
The new formulation does not last. I had a 2018 Aventus bottle as well. Great fragrance which last all day and i could still smell it 🎉on my clothes days later. I just picked up a new bottle this year the original scent is there but the proformance was lacking. It projects for about 2 hours and it becomes a skin scent. Montblanc explorer last much longer. There are so many more fragrances that i would choose over Aventus. 1) Hacivat. The oakmoss in this fragrance is the best I have ever smell. 2) Layton the spiciness in this is great and one more 3) xerjoff Nexo the tobacco in this is king. There are to many choices for any one fragrance to be king.

Well big bruh here’s the deal, and I notice that you never respond to comments which is okay with me. Creed has run it’s course. And we now live in a society where dupes has become popular and people have wisened up as money have become tight and if they run across a fragrance that’s at least 85 to 90 percent the same, well guess what? Their going that route. Who cares what one spends on a fragrance as long as it smells good that’s what the people like. Unless you walk around with a sign attached to you saying I’m wearing the real deal, Creed Aventus etc. As I get older soon to be 58 years old on next month I’ve learned to shop smart not dumb because rainy days do come. It’s like work smart not hard. Armaf is killing the game and it’s the truth like it or not. So yes……….. this is why the Creed Family are seeing their last days. They have had a good run but it’s the end time for them. That’s why they sold the franchise to BlackRock LTPC✌🏿
WOW!
Yes times are tight!!! And I tried Creed at my local Nordstrom and I wasn't blown away. And I love niche and designer fragrances but I live in the San Francisco Bay area and my rent alone is 4.000 per month!! So hell yes I'm going to go the Armaf route because Creed is super expensive!!! I feel you 👍🏾👍🏾
@@baysidedlove3427 4 grand bro!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@baysidedlove3427 Absolutely bruh!!✌🏿💯💯💯💯
Which FB fragrance groups are you in?
Never! Still the best fragrance I’ve ever smelled.
I haven't worn it in months. I too have been going to Hacivat, just to change it up when I'm looking for that DNA. After watching this, I pulled the Creed out, took a healthy sniff and was immediately reminded why I've gone through so many bottles. If it's not King now, people just forgot. It's the ultimate in duality. Opening, dry down, 6 hours in, doesn't matter....still reigns supreme.
hacivat sucks though, may as well just sprinkle pepper on your clothes and it would smell the same. The fragrance is seriously ruined by all the pepper they add in it. And there's way better alternatives to hacivat like intense cedrat boise & electimuss imperium
Absolutely! The point of it all is Aventus is my favorite smell. If the price was only $100 or less I would probably still buy it knowing it might not last long. Hacivat only cost me $120 so my expectations are lower and my satisfaction is higher…
@@shawnwinters1178 hacivat still ridiculously overpriced too though.
Same problem with Roja dove elysium for the price I need performance just maybe creed needs to do a intense version like Roja dove just did with elysium maybe it can come back to king
elysisum intense the answer
What Facebook groups I wanna join one.!
Creed Aventus will forever be a staple in my collection!
I've got Aventus, but the hands-down best fragrance I've ever worn, was an oil I purchased in Cairo Egypt. People used to offer to buy it from me. I could have made a fortune if I had bought enough to sell
What's the name of it?
@@jameslane2402 I'm sad to say, I haven't the slightest idea. I was shown a few, and based solely on how it smelled, I chose a roller bottle of it.
Elysium & Hacivat got it beat idc what anyone says
People don't know 2013 and earlier Aventus was pure smoke...almost unwearable. I have a 2012 bottle. Since then, it was reformulated to be less smokey and luckily, it got even more popular and successful despite early reformulation.
Funny thing is I still get the smoky moss smell out of mines but it comes and goes
Agree with you. I bought it last year but it just don’t last. I cannot smell it after 1 hour. If I am paying so much for a perfume I expect it to last at least 6 hour. I won’t be buying one again.
