DON'T BUY This Fragrance Until You Watch This! | Creed Aventus

[@mangegnosis]

I bought a bottle back in 2010 when my son was born, and the scent memories I have with Aventus are some of the best scent memories I have. Fragrances and music will always guard me against senility. :):):)

[@gerardgeorge]

This is so true and I have that connection with a couple fragrances and my kids. Thanks Mangegnosis!

[@kainoa003]

Thank you Brother, I just bought a bottle a month ago and was questioning whether I should have bought it, but you answered all my questions and I am now satisfied that I did buy it. Awesome review, thank you very much

[@gerardgeorge]

Glad to help my friend!

[@TrustNoOne88]

I would say it’s worth it if you really have the extra money to spend. Even if you have the dupes. But beware once you start using higher quality ingredients your nose will become spoiled and will expect that same quality across the board. Most people don’t know what synthetic ingredients smell like till they smell natural. Can you afford to be picky?! It’s very subjective. Great video.

[@gerardgeorge]

You absolutely nailed it. Thank you!

I definitely agree Mark.

[@jamesmaggio7560]

Aventus is definitely my favorite! I have a bottle for around 3 yrs now. I think the projection isn’t that strong but the scent is still good n I’m fine w that.

Same here!

[@louispozuelos6066]

I feel the same exact way. I just got aventus and Viking cologne and I’m loving both. It genuinely made me commit to now buying a whole creed line up. Next is original santal and royal oud which is expensive af Rn

I just start my collection and that's one I don't have. It will be a privilege for me if I had a bottle of CREED in my collection. I'll keep u up to date as soon I get it. Thanks for the video it was very interesting. Take care. Have a blessed day.

I've got 11s01 decant and a 13z01 and let me tell you I got a couple of clones from perfume parlour which is based in the UK and also from another UK based company called noted aromas and let me tell you I thought it was hype but these guys are nailing the scent! I've newer batches and older batches, the older ones are a little smokier but chemicals get banned so it's never the same, but if you want a decent clone try either of those I said or another one called pocket scents

[@Westcoast.Fragrancia]

New follower here. I see you have the Samsung Q2U dynamic microphone. I own it too. Still trying to figure things out. Now, I have not smelt Creed Aventus. Alot of hype on it I noticed. I appreciate your honest review. Side note. How is it that you connect your mic? Is it connect to your computer via USB? Or is connected to the camera? Your help is much appreciated

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes good eye! I have it running to a Rodecaster Pro. I record it there then sync it up with the scratch audio that is recorded by the camera.

[@bagley232]

Agree with one of your points, if you’re a collector you should have a bottle of Aventus in it. I have a bottle I got two years ago and the performance has gotten better with maceration

[@gerardgeorge]

I also think if you love the DNA based on having something like Explorer you owe it to yourself to try Aventus.

[@柄焜黃]

Which is better? Aventus or green irish tweed?

[@gerardgeorge]

Wow a question for the ages I don't know if I could pick unfortunately.

I have over 300 bottles, Aventus is still my all time favorite and none of the clones completely hold up. Aventus is still 100% worth it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Agree 1000% Danny

[@michaelserns1516]

Agree, Aventus is worth buying for me as well. I do love my clones/inspired by, and some do smell closer than others. In the end they're all missing something from the original. I get around 6-7 hours with my bottle, and that is plenty. Aventus is kind of a weird one with me. I love it, but after 5-6 hours I have had enough. Great vid brother!!

Totally understandable Jorge. That’s why I plan on having this bottle for years and conserving it!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I don't have a bottle of Aventus but I do have Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water and love them both. I own Explorer and wear it when I want that Aventus vibe but don't feel I need to own the OG. I agree with you, I don't think Cedrat Boise smells like Aventus. If I take a whiff from the bottle, there is some similarity but once it hits skin, the Intense Cedrat Boise is a totally different scent.

[@gerardgeorge]

Absolutely! I agree unless you are in love with the DNA there are perfectly serviceable inspired by that can get you that profile.

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

It's definitely true about It getting stronger over time I bought Creed imperial despite the fact that everyone bitched about how weak it was and I got a brand new bottle and at first it was very weak and then over time it got really strong to where I could smell it on my clothes and myself all day I think maceration is a real thing and people don't take it into account

[@gerardgeorge]

Absolute facts right here!

[@Oldish2002]

Still one of the best smelling fragrances to date. Clean, sharp, woody, citrusy, fruity, smoky and very versatile and luxurious. I have a newer batch, 2021 after selling my 2017 bottle and the new one it's still awesome. Never got an issue with the performance. It reaches 6-8 hours easily and sometimes even more. It's a tricky one but the smell is heavenly. And most important for me is the overall quality of the smell. I have many dupes/interpretations of it but none can equal Aventus. Maybe not worth the retail price but worth "hunting" some discounts.

[@gerardgeorge]

I couldn’t agree more you nailed it.

[@vanceneal3934]

Good review! Interesting point you brought up about air in bottle? Something to watch with your frangrances as you wear them? I don't own personally, but next time I'm at department store I'll spray hand couple times, to get an idea of scent. Thanks for video

Excellent breakdown of the fragrance and great discussion points throughout! Although it’s not my favorite, it is a damn good fragrance! I understand pricing, batch variation, performance will always be an issue for many consumers, I still believe this is a must have for anyone that enjoys this scent profile!

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree Dave. If you LOVE this scent profile but have mainly experienced it through the dupes and inspired by’s I think people owe it to themselves to at least get a sample and wear it and live with it for a bit.

[@Jacob-yi9kk]

You’re 100% right about Aventus. No clone can replicate even 80% of what Creed does. My 2020 bottle last all day and all week on clothes. Maceration definitely helps the longevity of any new creed bottle.

I currently have 3 fragrances from Creed: Original Santal, Millesime Imperial, and Aventus Cologne. Aside from genuinely enjoying those, I really do believe that Aventus isn't part of my lineup for the simple fact that it's the most popular Creed fragrance, but I recently got a good-sized sample from a Creed rep, and to my surprise, my wife said it's her favorite scent of *everything* in my collection (I'm still ranking Tuxedo as my personal favorite, but that's obviously so much less versatile). After watching this vid, I agree with everything you said here, and I think it helped motivate me to go out and get a bottle.

Wouldn't bother wasting your money. I first smelled it about 5 or 6 years ago from a distance from someone at work. It blew me away, I loved it from the first smell but couldn't afford it at that time. Moving forward to 4 or 5 months ago I bought a bottle from Creeds website. I've never been so disappointed with it. I thought I'd been sent a fake fragrance. There's hardly any fruit notes in it. More woody notes. It doesn't project how it used to do and it doesn't last long on the skin. I think that when creed sold their company the new owners reformulated it watered it down and totally ruined the scent just for pure profit.

Thats just where my preferences are. If I was going to buy a Creed, I’m starting with Green Irish Tweed.

When you buy Creed, you buy the name. Quality is on the down side. The new Batches dosen't last.

Loewe Escensia EDP, CDNIM Limited Edition, Supremacy Not only intense (more on the side of Hacivat), Al Haramain L'Venture, Rumz Al Rasasi and Shaheen Silver. This Have better performance. The prices are lower and you can have all for the price of one Aventus. Is crazy but for me, i have no need of more Aventus. And this fagabce have their own path in term of smell.

I would probably change my opinion if Creed didn’t have batch inconsistencies. If I was creed I wouldn’t rush out to make another year’s supply unless the perfuming ingredients were exactly the same, with less production it actually makes sense to be marketed as a niche product and would be more justifiable @ $400, especially if the fragrance was only re-released every 3-5 years.

Not worth it anymore. So many people do the DNA better .. the formulation gives terrible performance anymore 😑

Let me say this to you, right on your face, you are an paid influencer. You are providing discount code to get your money. Here is the right review, don’t listen to this guy and don’t buy creed, they don’t last. Keep refreshing, get any batch code, it don’t last more than 38 min. Do the test, after 38 mins it start disappearing, not fading but disappearing. Man go get your nose tested.

[@gerardgeorge]

Appreciate your feedback Jawaria. I do get a small commission from sales but I've been completely transparent about that. I'm growing the channel so anything I make goes right back into the channel. Equipment, product, my time, etc. I'm passionate about fragrance just like you which I assume to be the case because you are here. Also, I will NEVER recommend a fragrance that I don't personally use or enjoy. Lastly we just flat out disagree on Creed. I own a few bottles of creed that I paid for myself that I recommenced because my experience with them has been great. My Aventus is a 2021 batch that lasts all day on me. It sounds like you've had a terrible experience with Creed maybe you should start a KZbin channel and make that your first video.

[@ThinkPinkAngel]

@@gerardgeorge yes I’m into fragrance and I know their chemistry. I am a creed user for a very long time. I don’t wanna make a channel or video on creed. I’m just here to make new comers aware of the things which influencer do to them. It’s your business I understand but don’t damage others. A little bit here n there missing thing can be balanced but what you are doing is shoving that product down to someone’s throat. Creed was never been a long lasting perfume which ever batch code you are talking about. It’s max time is 2 and half hour but recent batch do not last longer than 38 min, test yourself. Set the timer n check, if I’m wrong than I’m willing to do whatever you say. But don’t put a dent in someone’s pocket, silence is better than encouraging that this is overwhelming product. N by the way 38 mins of creed is only on fresh skin, right after your shower. On fabric n non non fresh skin, forget about those 38 mins too. Test it n prove me wrong.

I have a F002090 batch 2024. But i can smel it on my skin at least 8 hours... My wife and children can smel me all day long... I think you have a nose blind in 38 min 😂 I use Montblanc Explorer as a daily sent... But it can beat the OG Aventus.!

[@EarsBeEazy]

No hasn't been worth it for a very long time

[@gerardgeorge]

Dude don’t fall into the Aventus hate now everyone is sweatin the new batches. Mine lasts!

[@JosejrLena]

Gents, don't buy into the HYPE!!! Keep your 450 bucks in your pocket and get a cheaper but long lasting alternative. I bought an aventus in 2021 and it does not last 5 minutes on my skin much more on my clothes! You have to literally pour the entire bottle on your self for the scent to last 1 hour😂😂😂 What a total RIP-OFF!!!

[@gerardgeorge]

Dude 5 mins??? Cmon

[@JosejrLena]

Yup its true! I thought I bought a lemon but I got it from macys at NYC!

[@1573viking]

End of Creed Aventus era, price goes up performance goes down!

[@gerardgeorge]

One thing is for sure it ain’t getting cheaper!

[@Neo-l2l]

This visdeo is spot on. I have all the so called clones and none of them actually really smells like creed. If you know you know!!! Would you buy a fake Rolex? If so then.....the clones are for you... this is an amazing scent !!!!

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks brotha
