Biggest fraud in fragrance today is poor performance. That's the primary reason I watch fragrance reviews. To keep from wasting $ on frags that others have already identified as weak. If a company is marketing juice as a fragrance, that juice should project "fragrance" and last more than an hour before fading to a skin scent. Would you pay $100 for a meal that you could taste for only the first few bites? Kudos to Parfums Vintage for at least producing fragrances that perform.

[@TheVersucci]

Curt Chaffee I agree with you but there are fragrances that can performs good on me,weak on someone else and vice versa. Our Skin Ph is a factor that should be taken into consideration too.

[@djjimhorn]

I bought the Parfumes emp extrait. I’ve used it for a week and it’s FANTASTIC!!! May be my go-to cologne. I also have Creed Adventus and EE is very close to Creed

[@MuraGX]

I don’t want anyone to have a bad impression of fragrancenet.com but my experience from buying a aventus from them was a bad one. The bottle was fake, it was literally water with rubbing alcohol and the design of the bottle had air bubbles and it didn’t even have the stem inside the bottle so it wouldn’t suck up the juice unless I flipped the bottle upside down. Now the customer service is great I returned it and got my money back. Out of all my purchases from them this was the only bad experience I had. However when I called them and told them the bottle was fake, the lady couldn’t understand what my problem was..I kept saying “the bottle is fake” “it’s not original, the smell makes me think it’s water with alcohol” Side note: the bottle didn’t have a batch code but the box did. I don’t remember the batch code but I remember it was 2018 batch And she told me that it can’t be fake because they buy straight from retailers but they would still refund me nonetheless if I ship it back to them. I still buy from them and still recommend to anyone but I ended up buying 2 emperor extraits and didn’t want to buy aventus anymore knowing that everyone says extrait is a better vintage batch of creed than current creeds

[@InstantKaarma]

Maybe a dishonest worker did the switcheroo? And really you buy a perfume because "everyone says it is better"?

[@MuraGX]

Pierre Fre I bought samples of aventus before buying extrait and I do smell the “balanced” notes in it. On top of the fact that aventus’s different batches don’t smell the same so yea. I still prefer extrait now over aventus

@iRunBHO creed is a stellar house , we can agree there. I own several from them and love them , however i never implied the house as a whole isn't consistent. I simply stated that a singular part of their house wasn't solid. If people complain and whine as much as they do about batch variations , you cannot call that consistency in any way shape , child.

[@TheVersucci]

iRunBHO no historical evidence has survived confirming the brand exists for so long and that they made fragrances for kings and royals.

[@jkbsdasf]

Creed is greedy. When they have to forecast growth year after year they have to figure out methods to cut production costs while maintaining the integrity of the product. The problem they’re running into is that the consumer (or fan base) are privy to their tactics and are calling foul! But the frag heads constitutes a small percentage of their sales. “New noses” make up the bread-and-butter of their sales thus the “cologne” version which will be undoubtably cheaper. -they need a bigger demographic in an effort to feed growth. It not just about the cost of sourcing raw materials, they’re a business plain and simple.

[@atlnative8222]

This stuff is the bomb, I bough PVI and something was very off with the pineapple vintage intense.... gave them another shot with emperor extrait because rush of unicorns was the bomb. Emperor extract is the best fragrance I have and I have most of creed fragrances. This stuff blows the current Aventus away, I’ve never smelt older batches of Aventus but if it smells like this creed should bring it back

[@christopherstein1301]

Emperor Extrait is my favorite clone ever. It's probably better than current batches of Aventus. It is wonderful!

I wish I would have seen this video before I purchased Aventus. I had tried some from a buddy of mine, but he had an older bottle. I got close to 10 hours of longevity with his. I received batch 18B01. I tried it for the first time the other day, and I only got 6 hours of longevity. I LOVE the smell, but for the price, it just isn't worth it to me. I guess it's one of those lessons learned type of things, but that was a very expensive lesson!

[@Benjamin-nm4jd]

Why pay $190 for a clone when you can have the REAL DEAL for the same price from buying split/decant? there's quite a lot people in the forum bought the 1000ml legit Aventus for $1305 and split them into decants for about $160~$190 per 100ml decant. I did buy the 50ml of Extrait and EDP out of curiosity, between the two the extrait is much more intense with better projection and longevity than EDP.

[@Benjamin-nm4jd]

@SKANDERBEG longevity the extrait is a little better and the projection about the same. You can't go wrong with either one but the extrait is worth the extra, i love both of them and will order more when they ran out. edp seems to be a bit lighter fwiw.

[@toastynotes]

Alright that does it. Just bought a set of samples of Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, and Green Irish Tweed to see what all this excitement about Creed fragrances is about. I kinda hope they don't blow me away because the bottles are three times what I like to pay for cologne.

[@Alirican321]

I own Emperor sample and PVI. I got emperor and not emperor extrait due to wearability especially to an office. If you have emperor you do not need extrait. Now Emperor vs PVI. IMO Emperor is blended well and is balanced similar to PVI but a tiny bit less on the Pinneapple.

[@InstantKaarma]

Yeah but now they are paying reviewers to push up this extrait so yeah here we are

[@jordanleach4937]

Why are there different batches that smell different, did the original profumer die or something, or do they purposely water it down?

[@mistweaverjc7898]

right so that question has a few answers and one of the answers is that because Creed is Niche and have special license / fill orders with farmers and suppliers; they (Creed) cannot guarantee that the produce/ingredients they got 1 year from a special farm will be or could be the same as the year before. Creed has specific deals with suppliers so that they (Creed) can receive produce that no other business can use and that has a lot to do with it but for sure Money/Greed is still ultimately the biggest reason.

[@MarwanElawamry]

When many perfume youtubers start hyping one special perfume like "Parfums de marly" or "Pineapple Vintage" It's just skeptical to believe it's not sponsered. . . Oh, and he said they sent it for review (Which is creditable than the others that say "This video is not sponsered").

[@InstantKaarma]

I was thinking exactly the same. Suddenly hyping this Emperor.

[@Tyronieus]

*Ashton, would you recommend the EDP or Extrait?* Which one performs better (projection, longevity, depth)?

[@Schatje79]

Extrait in all categories. The only con is of course the hiked up price tag.

[@TheYungKingz]

I've never tried any of them, but in most cases, the difference in EDP and Extrait are that extrait will have the deeper, heavier scent, the edp projects better and the extrait lasts longer (the longevity and projection delta is caused by oil and alcohol concentrations where, while the edp has more alcohol to evaporate and push the fragrance outward, the extrait has more oil to stay on the skin) may not be the case for many fragrances, but it is for most.

[@Scentsei_585]

The edp projects farther out. The extrait last a small while longer. No real difference a bunch of other reviews expressed that.

[@Tyronieus]

@@Scentsei_585 That's what I thought Jeffrey. EDP it is for me 👍 Thanks everyone for the responses.

Im owning an aventus 18E01 Batch and i cannot agree.. after those discussions about the weak Performance of newer Batches, i tested the 18E01 again.. Sprayed it on moistiurized Skin, on clothes and on tussiue.. For me, the 18E01 smells very fruity, mix of pineaplle and apple and These notes are projecting 2 up to 3 Hours on my Skin... after this time, i only smell the fruity notes when i directly smell on the places i put the fragrance on... On clothes and on the tissue, i can smell aventus even after 15 Hours.. but to be fair, i dont have those older Batches to compare with...

A niche fragrance is like a fine wine. It has a base but each batch is different. That's why people hunt for certain bottles of wine or certain bottles of niche colognes. If you want consistancy then go with a mainstream fragrance.

11Z01, 12E02, 12C02 Aventus I own. I remember buying the 11Z01 70% full 4oz flask in late 2013 for $225 eBay , then in 2015 I bought the 12C02 90% full of 4oz flask for $250 eBay . I bought my first retail bottle in 2013 of 12E02 (sooo Smokey) a 30 ml little bottle from Neiman Marcus for $155. I am literally sad at what has happened to Aventus smell wise. ⚰️R.I.P. Creed Aventus 2010-2014 you will be missed⚰️

I have a 12E02 as well, can confirm, love that smoke.

[@beefcurtainz69]

N H really? Not many ppl talk about that one or very rarely have I ever heard anyone even mention it. It is by far the darkest smokiest batch I have personally tried. Crazy depth. Now I compare that to a 2018 batch lmao. Not even the same fragrance!!

[@nhjproxy]

@@beefcurtainz69 Yep. I ordered a decant to try it out in 2013 and fell in love with it so I ordered a full bottle. I only use it on certain occasions, so since I'm basically a homebody I still have about 5/6 of it left. Every time I wear it I get compliments, the projection and sillage are incredible, probably better than any other cologne I have. I had no idea that I lucked out until I checked out this vid, that dark smokiness is why I love it so much. I'm sort of disappointed that if I use up this bottle I may not be able to find one with the same effect, but then again at the rate I'm using it I should have the bottle for another thirty years or so..lol.

It's been 5 days. Where's Ash

[@noseonscent1935]

Ash first off great video. I don't mean any offense but philosophically if you liked Parfums Vintage Pineapple Vintage Extrait better than 2018 and under certain parameters even 2017, and in light of the fact that you repeatedly say it's more balanced and deeper, richer, much or at least noticeably better projection and longevity and coupled with hopefully better consistency (jury is out on this as this is a new release and PV could easily pull a CREED!) doesn't it seem like PVPV is a better overall scent? Just asking, I know how difficult these choices can be especially when waxing romantic over bygone batches. Anyhow then again maybe PV will only always be relegated to clone status lol. Great job dissecting a truly difficult subject.

[@youcrazyjesues]

I’m almost out of my 2016 Aventus :(

[@yura_dmitriew7693]

how many hours of stability?

[@kingissey2050]

Great video, you explained this so well!! 👍

[@howardroark4227]

Emperor extrait vs Pineapple Vintage Intnese!?

[@thetattooedguy1413]

I want to know that also. I can't find anyone who compares the two

[@ronjarrah9516]

@@thetattooedguy1413 All of the Pineapple Vintage releases are made to duplicate Aventus. Intense aims to replicate the more fruity batches of Aventus and Vanilla Intense aims to replicate more vanilla prominent batches of Aventus and so on. Emperor however aims to replicate Vintage grail Aventus. If you are looking for more recent version of Aventus then Emperor is not for you and you should buy other releases from this house. However, if you want vintage 2015 balanced Aventus with no notes overpowering the others, then this is what you want.

[@Mjk055]

Ash, any word on Emperor Maximus Extrait? Parfums Vintage is having a sale and if I'm going to splurge it might as well be now.

[@DajuiceMain]

How do houses clone this so much, but what are they cloning which batch??

[@edwinp.]

This is why I cherish the Aventus I have ...Very good in-depth review and comparison! 👍

[@Benjamin-nm4jd]

After watching this video i bought both the Emperor Extrait and Vintage Intense in 50ml size, too bad they don't have 100ml. Hope they are of decent batch and not reformulated water-down junk

[@BullockAndCompany]

Do you prefer PVI or PVE edp?

[@SeriouSXXFireworks]

Any natural scents?

[@nigelgomez3668]

Nice review brother... Just wanted to know if emperor extrait is better than X batch intense and Cdnim.... Thanks in advance.✌️

[@jahmarkirk2899]

Did you buy the batches of Aventus apon release?

[@mikey9515]

Do other creed fragrances have variations in batches like aventus or are they pretty consistent

[@vincentehall1058]

I would love to see you do a review on the Creed Aventus Perfumed Oil
