How To Spot A FAKE Creed Fragrance | Real VS Fake Creed Bottles & What To Look For

[@ChaosFragrances]

UPDATE for 2019/2020: Aventus now comes wrapped in cellophane from Creed. All other indicators still apply. And yes, Creed fragrances from discount websites (FragranceNet, FragranceX etc) are real. Buying retail is not the only way to get authentic Creed products. This video is to inform you of the indicators to look out for when purchasing used on the grey market such as Facebook, eBay etc if you so choose. I own over 20 authentic Creed bottles and have never bought a fake (except for this video, to demonstrate). Most people saying I have no clue most likely have never purchased a bottle outside of retail, or at all for that matter, and think authorized dealers are the only way to go, which simply isn't the truth. In any case, thanks for watching and I hope this clears things up!

[@alexklatte9264]

Is it just the Aventus that's wrapped in cellophane or do all Creed scents come wrapped now too?

[@kellybryant8379]

Chaos Fragrances when you say inner ring it needs to be white , do you mean clear or it is true color white?

[@geralddaniel7479]

Hey brother would you mind taking a look at my bottle? For some reason my sample from retail lasts longer than the one I got from fragrancex. Let me know thanks in advance man

[@vio0633]

Another thing to add about fakes vs real is I like to look at the crown closely. The crown should match what creed has on its bottles. Along with that I like to feel how the top secures to the bottle. It should feel like it’s a solid “click” when your putting the cap back on and the cap should have a snap to it when removed. I believe there are 2 rings inside the cap that give that luxury on/off feel to it. Just wanted to add some other stuff I look at. Also I look at the paperwork included. Make sure the gold on the outside of the creed family pictures is raised up some and the picture looks clear 👍🏻😀

Hi please where is de best place to buy creed Aventus?

[@CoCo-it7hz]

I have had a bottle of MI for a few years now and everything appears to be ok... the outer ring is white the box came without plastic but I can't find the batch number. It has creed engraved if you will on the bottom but there is no sight on a batch code stamp. Not on the back or bottom... Is that a sign its fake?

[@ChaosFragrances]

It’s normal for batch codes to rub off, whether it’s been etched on or in ink. If everything else checks out it’s most likely legit

[@CoCo-it7hz]

Thanks a lot man!

[@JordanProudtobeNL]

I got my creed royal mayfair, it has a white outer ring so thats fine, but my batch code was probably in ink, and i couldnt read it and rubbed it off in one swipe, what does this mean? Theres no other place on the bottle that shows the batch code. The box though was perfect had a sticker so i guess thats all good

[@Shion0Hibiki]

maybe the batch code are printed on different area for different year to spot out fakes? If the batch code is for 2016 and it was printed on the wrong location then the bottle could be fake?

[@EkoTube]

I have it wrapped with celophane but i dont think its fake how can i be sure?

[@FahylandoJackson]

Will the smaller bottles have white outer rings inside the atomizer as well?

[@ChaosFragrances]

[@Apoplectic_Spock]

Chaos Fragrances - Thanks, I'm a bit nervous. Do you have a recommendation for someone's 1st Creed purchase? A bottle that's a good representation of the quality the brand offers, while also taking Spring into consideration?

[@ChaosFragrances]

Green Irish Tweed, Aventus, or Millesime Imperial. Millesime Imperial is currently one of the cheapest Creeds you can get, I've seen full 120ml bottles going for around $120 on Facebook groups

[@Apoplectic_Spock]

Chaos Fragrances - Sweet! I'll hunt down a facebook group. Thanks for everything!

[@ChaosFragrances]

Good luck brotha. I just saw a post of someone selling Millesime for around $120 yesterday but I can't find it. They usually go pretty quick when the price is good

[@evaristoroman4166]

Great video. A lot of good info and insight. But my question is, do all the aspects of what should be a real bottle need to be present for you to consider it to be legit? I bought royal princess oud from fragrancenet and everything checks out except for the cap. It’s loose and does not have the inner sleeve. What would u think?

[@ChaosFragrances]

The main thing to look for is the white ring under the atomizer, if it has that then it's 100% legit. I provide info on all the other aspects mainly to help identify the bottle from pictures without seeing under the atomizer. Loose caps are completely normal, quite a bit of my Creed bottles have a loose flimsy cap. If the bottle is coming from FragranceNet , its authentic. I'm not too sure there are many fakes of Royal Princess Oud to begin with. I'd say you're good man

[@evaristoroman4166]

Chaos Fragrances ok thanks a lot. I feel more comfortable with the purchase.

[@ChaosFragrances]

It depends where you got it from, some stores will actually wrap them in cellophane themselves to help protect the box and stuff like that. If everything else checks out then I doubt it’s a fake

[@Adam-om9hu]

I bought a fake bottle of Aventus the other day. I was sold a real box, but the bottle was a good fake. The bottle looked legit, but under the cap was a metal ring. My question is, is that it had a legit batch code on the bottom stamped into the glass, but the sprayer sounded cheap when pressed and had a metal washer. Had anyone else had a batch number on a fake?

Can you tell me abou that bach number of Aventus 17N01 is it balanced ?

[@ChaosFragrances]

It’s more of a darker batch, kind of similar to 16M01. Really good stuff and is overlooked compared to a lot of the other batches

[@djparkour1]

Yeah ok Bro but just one more question doest it project well? i mean i have the same batch and the projection is very weak nobody can smell it , i heard stuffs like that it needs to mature a litlle bit and the more you use it the more it well project good is that true?

[@PerspecxtivesSounds]

Mehdi MK A lot of the later 17 batches have beast performance, not much projection but definitely above average, sillage is excellent. I didn’t believe the “aging” tip either but it works man lol I’ve done it with a couple of my other fragrances as well. Trust me, just because you can’t smell it doesn’t mean the people around you can’t. Aventus is known for it’s olfactory fatigue and that’s more than likely what you guys experienced.

FragranceNet has the best prices as of late, but beware their shipping is slow. I’m willing to deal with it because they run great clearance deals especially on niche fragrances like Creeds. Check out Fragrance Swap on Facebook, Creed bottles are being sold a lot there

[@ChaosFragrances]

Typically older batches are more sought after when it comes to Creeds, as they are pre-reformulation & often last longer and smell a lot different (usually better). If the juice hasn't gone bad, then I would definitely hold onto it. I had a 2008 batch of MI at one point & I enjoyed it a lot more than the newer stuff.
