Bloody hell George I have seen hundreds of fragrance videos but this video has to be one of the most interesting and informative videos ever published. You frighten me with your incredible knowledge on fragrances. Move over Jeremy, the aftershave world needs a new scent guru. And now that baton should pass to you sir......

[@livinglavida6411]

Great concept and well done video. The idea of established houses cloning or taking significant inspiration from other well-known houses happens quite often. Consider the following short list (original in parenthesis): Prada L'Homme (Dior Homme Eau); Jimmy Choo Man Ice (Dior Homme Cologne); Tom Ford F'ing Fabulous (Givenchy Play Intense) Tom Ford Italian Cypress (Halston Z-14); Tom Ford Neroli Portifino (Maurer & Wirtz 4711) Dior Fahrenheit Parfum (Jacques Fath Pour L'homme)

[@jeremyhinze8837]

Interesting topic. I'm not sure about explorer dont know much about it, but its widely rumored that Pierre Bourdon made GIT and that he has been a contracted perfumer for creed for many many years, so one asks. Is it a clone if its the same perfumer making these? Its quite common for perfumers to make similar compositions for other companies with varying levels material Quality 🤷‍♂️ are they clones I dunno. Pierre Bourdon is said to have made orange spice(creed) then Kouros(ysl) very similar, GIT(creed) then Cool water(davidoff), Individual(mont blanc) then Original Santal(creed), a fragrance called "the brun" by Jean Charles Brosseau is extremely similar to Miliseme imperial some say an early rendering of MI 🤔 also spice & wood(creed) in composition is very similar to Pierre Bourdon's French lover(Frederic Malle) and this will blow peoples minds its even said that Pierre Bourdon made Aventus for the Creeds there is an article I read somewhere breaking this all down, explaining how its a well known fact behind the scenes the Creeds are not perfumers, they squirm and get very uncomfortable in interviews when asked technical questions. This doesn't make it all 100% fact, but to me makes complete and perfect sense when you smell these all side by side, some of them being made by the hand of a very skilled master perfumer something I have a hard time believing the Creeds actually are.

[@WSF176]

Such a well written and intelligent commentary. I can’t confirm any of this. But I know the younger Creed (Erwin?) was more into race car driving that anything else. Seems odd he would dabble in making luxury fumes as a side gig. Also the “around since the 1200’s “ thingy isn’t really believed by anyone is it?

@@WSF176 thanks might have been able to do a better job on punctuation and whatnot, but I wrote it quick 🤷‍♂️ ya the history with the brand is all myth & lore very cleverly created to help sell the prestige of the brand.
