Very well articulated overview of the house, subbed. I just ordered some vintage intense and gold. Excited to give it a shot.

[@codefied1379]

I think what Parfumes Vintage is doing is great. There was a huge opportunity available in the fragrance world, due to fragrance houses ripping of customers via “watered down batches” and reformulations. Parfumes Vintage stepped in and is trying to do the right thing by the consumer, not to mention for a relatively cheaper price. Kudos to Parfumes Vintage. Excellent video by the way.

[@Italianslugger]

Hell yeah. Been waiting for someone to review the new ones. I ordered my samples a few days ago.

[@LOGICAL-JAY]

So true..especially the newer 1.7oz and 3.3oz bottles..Parfums vintage bring back that classic 4oz and 2.5oz creed smell that we miss and love. After mid 2017 creed went to trash and became watered down with a price hike and less juice.

[@dollarbill125]

Another great video man. As far as PV goes I don't know how a lot of people can hate them for doing what these other companies havent for a big market. Creed has obviously said they'll throw out whatever Aventus standard they want because they know the hype around will sell it anyway. PV is offering up performance and options for a discounted price. I do feel you on them making theirnown fragrances but lets not act like people would jump on those as fast as their other offerings. I'm definitely going to order that Isla tropical prive to compare to my VIW bottle. I got that bottle as a gift and as much as I love the performance was always so so on my skin so I can't to see your review on it.

[@getawaydriver2824]

Great video J! I stumbled upon your channel while looking for some info on Citrus No. 1 and recently I’ve been seeing tons of mixed feelings about Parfums Vintage on places like Reddit and Instagram but your video was very fair and objective.

[@martinrandall5836]

Hi from the UK. Thanks for this video, found it interesting, have now ordered samples to try as I have never got my nose on any of these fragrances before. Have seen other reviews of Emperor and Emperor Extrait but after watching Joshua (ScentSence) and yourself felt I had to give PV a try.

[@MP-ej9pw]

Great video and review. I do have a couple on my list to sample. Like the Isla Tropical and Cacophony. I have tried Aventus against some clones including PV and virtually every clone comes off my skin better. A colleague gave me a small vial of her husband's older batch of Aventus but it came off my skin as just hours of a linear black pepper...my nose didn't like it however my wallet sure appreciated that.

[@mauricesas7650]

Parfums Vintage take popular fragrances and improve their weak spots(performance,projection,reformulations etc) Yes they make clones but if the clone is better than the original you need to give them the credits for that. Emperor,PVI,Rush of Unicorns etc are perfect examples.

[@dayl4832]

I think Parfums Vintage needs to have a customer service phone line for customers who have any concerns about their order. My personal experience with the company has been great so far and I'm thankful for the time they have spent creating quality alternative fragrances

[@laoc5270]

Really really great video. I have almost walked away from the community due to the recent negativity surrounding it and I’m glad a reviewer addressed the situation directly and positively. Thank you. I haven’t tried any PV fragrances yet because I have about 500ml of Aventus still ... but your honest reviews have changed that and I will definitely be purchasing some of their releases. I’ve just subscribed to your channel and am eagerly looking forward to watching all of your content. Thank you. Sincerely.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you for watching my content. I appreciate the encouragement. At the end of the day, PV's fragrances are not the best to be created, and I am not trying to communicate that they are. I only try to share what I like, but preferably love.

[@NubbyBob]

For some reason none of the clones can get the birch right of the old 2010 Aventus batches. They end up either smelling like cade oil or almost like a funky oud. I like the noir line but it’s not quite hitting the same notes

[@danielsmells...6805]

Pacific Lime from Atelier is amazing! If you like lime then you definitely have to get your nose on that one. But Idk if I would say it's like Creed VIW. I don't pick up any coconut but then again I've never smelt Creed's VIW and I'm only basing my experience on Pacific Lime and Hawaii Volcano by Alexandria. But definitely check out Pacific Lime!

[@Elpugo714]

I’ve tried like 12 different samples from them. My favorites are Emperor Extrait and Emarald Isle

[@Jrtowns1]

I’ve never tried PV and that’s mostly because some of their reinterpretations are within 20 or 30 dollars of the original. I know with Creed that’s not the case but with Bond and some other frags the price is to close to buy a clone over the original if they don’t cost more as with their version of Invictus Aqua. $95 for a 50ml, you could probably buy a vintage 100ml bottle for that.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Like I said, you can place value where you see it. That being said however, you can’t knock em till you try em!! Since you haven’t smelled anything from PV, you’re missing out on at least knowing for certain if you prefer the original to the clone, or vice versa. Also, I haven’t seen a Vintage Invictus Aqua for less than $120 anywhere 🤔...unless you happen to find it in a duty free somewhere.

Justin, can you *please,* for the love of god, get this company to put out a clone of the original formulation of *Le Labos Rose 31.* They reformulated it around 2016, 2017. Watered it down a ton. Was an absolute masterpiece from 2006-2015.

[@jay-t1030]

I just discovered this house. I have not bought anything yet, but I heard great things from this house. I plan on buying the Pineapple vintage Intense for spring/summer, Sandal Amber for fall/winter, and maybe Suave as a date night fragrance.

[@brother_Tennessee]

is it just me, but it seems like the more you use Parfums Vintage colognes the better it performs. I think my skin had to adapt, because I got compliments from X batch intense, but PVI not so much but since I have been using PVI more the longevity is lasting more now, because my first couple of uses I was disappointed in the projection, but now I am smelling it more on my skin longer than usual

[@ahmetindere4726]

pour homme might be gucci envy, damien said they'd release 2 versions of that soon

[@lerroyoriema5121]

Atelier Cologne's Pacific Lime is a very bright juicy lime. It has a bubbly quality much like ELDO Remarkable People. It smells like sunshine and happiness bottled. Unfortunately, it's wanting in performance. Pomelo Paradis outlasts it. My pick of the genre would be Replica Under the Lemon Tree.

[@simplyfragrances4453]

[@javierayala2294]

Dr Copeland, last question I promise I will not bother you no more. Dr Copeland, aka Mr Accurate, wich is the closest Aventus clone from parfums vintage? Blindly I will listen to your advise

[@Polowashere]

I just smelled Aventus at Nordstrom for the first time the other day and I felt it was overrated. Maybe that's due to newer batches being watered down. I would pay $50 for what I smelled maybe the recreations are actually better

[@javierayala2294]

Dr Copeland like you said in one of your podcast, I didn't get this fragrance to get complements because it's true what you say, it is so stressful wearing a fragrance just to impress others, I wear it because I love the smell and because in many cases a fragrance boost my confidence, I wear it because the make me feel clean. But Dr Copeland, you nailed it with Emperor, simple as that. I didn't know it was going to be this great. The first time I wore the fragrance, I got tons of complements. Emperor is so addictive to me like molecule 01. Im pretty sure I will love the extrait. Dr Copeland continue doing what you're doing, you're good at it simply because you got good taste, and expensive taste even if is a cheap fragrance. I see your nose and your senses are expensive. Keep up the good work

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Javier 🙏🏾

[@eddyvasquez7]

Good video. I just got Emperor extrait

[@Harlem139Convent1]

I have a couple of aventus batches, starting from 2012 until 2015, i would buy a bottle every year with my income tax!! The 15 batch is really good! I tried emperor extrait from parfumes vintage and its a dead ringer, now if u DO NOT have the older batches ur gonna hate!! But trust me that emperor extrait shit is on point!! Anything after the reformulation which i think was around the end of 16, is just not good, they made the bottle size smaller, the juice weaker and takes raised the prices!!

[@demonwares]

The only frag I want from their house is Rush of Unicors, but there is NO WAY I will pay $140 for 100ml. New CLONE house costing more than established Niche like Mancera? C'mon now. Can't bring myself to pay that much for a clone house without feeling I've been scammed, but if someone has a code that will bring their prices to designers, I'll buy it. EDIT: Also their "ships in 2 weeks" is horrible. They charge niche, yet can't provide the service to match the price tag?

[@XxXDestroyer]

Honestly Rush of Unicorns is so much better than current MI. I'd buy it over MI any day.

[@shaydagod0123]

Hit up myfragrancesamples.com they have 50ml for $80 I got my n 6 days it’s legit

[@jacobrobinson5890]

I have 2011 Millesime Imperial and Rush of Unicorns outperforms it so I can wear it even through October. I could care less whether it's a "clone" - it's molecules and raw materials and Creed are watering down the product and jacking up the prices and this is has gone way too far. Rush of Unicorns solves this and is less expensive than the 2018 watered down batches.

[@danieljackson4513]

Rush of Unicorns is the real deal. Strange that you would feel scammed by a company offering a better product for lower price. Kinda sad that so many people buy in to the cliche of luxury and why Creed can get away with putting out lower concentrations each year and increasing the price. That to me is the definition of a scam

[@aBBB321]

I've tried rush of unicorns.. I compared it to Alexandria - Citron del Mar they were pretty much identical. Alexandrias Citron del Mar is better value though.

[@FiddlingCPA]

I wish that Parfums Vintage would make a fragrance modeled after whatever batch of Eau Sauvage is the best. A sample of Eau Sauvage I got before 2015 (I don't know how old a bottle it was decanted from) smelled notably deeper, soapier, more complex, and stronger than a full new bottle I bought in 2015. I liked that Eau Sauvage sample as much as the Creed Silver Mountain Water (that batch was so magical) and even more than the Green Irish Tweed samples I got, and that was back in 2014!

[@TrephineArtist]

If they don't have one already I'd really like for PV to make their versions of Dolce & Gabbana pour homme (1994) especially and perhaps also Dior Homme Sport (2008).

Hey man great video as always. However I know you’re not in the Aventus addicts or Aventus Lounge FB groups so I wanted to give some info on the statement made by the parfum vintage rep. 2016 batches of aventus are not selling for 600 dollars on any group they are being sold for around 350 to 400 depending on the batch and 2015 batches for around 100 bucks more and sometimes for about the same. I purchased a 2013 batches pre-reformulation for not much more than 600 so she was reaching quite a bit. Just wanted to let you know.

I also wish they would put out more clones of discontinued fragrances. And I like the idea of upgraded versions (compositions with higher-quality ingredients) of mass-market fragrances. Imagine a longer-lasting, stronger, higher-quality version of Brut or Old Spice or 4711 or Adidas Moves? Or maybe something that imitates Irish Spring soap or Zest soap or Barbasol shave cream? Those are scents that I think have great potential for a strong, high-quality upgrade in the form of EDP spray.

[@javierayala2294]

Dr Copeland today I purchased Sedly. I went and checked the batch code and it says it was made 2 years and 7 months ago. That means I have to use it quick? That sucks, what advise would you give in this case Sir?

You don’t have to use it quick. As long as you keep your fragrances away from long exposure to sunlight, away from heat or drastic temperature changes (like the bathroom), and in a dry room, they can last a very long time.

There are only two batches 2016 that get close to the price range of $600, even that said price is an exaggeration based on hype. Average price in the groups for a 2016 batch is around $270-350 brand new, still less than retail. 2016 is considered one of the best years.

I understand what you mean. A lot of people seem to report that. I actually brought this up to them recently. They claim that a lot of the hate is misplaced. There could be a bit of a mob mentality at play. But obviously, I can't speak for them and I can't predict what kind of treatment you might receive. If you're interested in simply making a purchase, I don't think you'll have an issue. But its your call!

[@GeorgesOpinion]

Got PVI “the one” and it’s my strongest fragrance, and I have Aventus

[@builtfit1291]

It's very apparent they treat the reviewers that are sent bottles for free very well. I have read many comments on other PV reviews that their customer service is garbage and that is the main reason I will never purchase from this company even though I am interested in some of their interpretations of discontinued scents.

[@mateohenderson5545]

I'm in the cologne fragrance groups on fb and the owner has regularly shown that these complaints are people who complain about not getting tracking 3 days after an order even though PV clearly say dispatch is 10 days. The owner has even shown screenshots where some said their delivery took 3 weeks but didn't explain that they had it rerouted to Africa! I'm a stickler for poor service but I've never been disapointed in the 2 experiences with them but then again I follow their advice on the shipping and I don't mind waiting 10 days because the products I have is superior especially Emperor and Pineapple Vintage Intense

[@sabastianturner9695]

check their instagram page this week. They posted a photo of a message from a customer who went on a rant after waiting 5 days when the company put notices saying the dispatch is longer than this. For the company to post this shows how upfront they are - not only in advising on the shipping times but also in proving that some of the negative comments are just douches

[@NicolasWilson1986]

Their customer service is trash. I've ordered 3 bottles from them. They sent me a bottle with a knowingly defective cap, responded that they would be sending me some samples to make up for it then ghosted me and never replied again. I tried emailing them back and they changed their email over to something else and refuse to honor their promise. Be prepared to overpay and wait 2-3 weeks for your product. I will say Emperor is a good fragrance but their service is the worst. Here is link to Screenshot imgur.com/ohA5tZa

Parfums Vintage puts out some great clones of good quality. But I understand the hate or dislike for clone houses in general, though it doesn't personally bother me as long as I feel I'm getting what I payed for. And I have yet to be disappointed by the house.

If they can teach major houses to be consistent, this is good.

Excellent video by a really cool humble guy. Thanks

PV really needs to recreate a Spice and Wood that has better performance. I’d buy that juice by the bucket.

My man I believe you are being authentic however, your not the only reviewer who has had to kinda straighten out everyone's perspective about House of Parfums issues. I can respect that. However, the rehashes of the same stuff with a different name (emperor, intense,Maximus, Colossus, Gold, EDP, Vanilla, X) etc. All that is well and good but jacking the prices up with every new Aventus flanker is really giving this house a bad rep for money grabbing. When a clone house starts shooting skyward to the tune of $200 for a 100ml, then people will just say F-it, I'll just buy the real thing for alitte bit more. I like Parfums but I dont like what's happening to them with the prices constantly getting jacked up. Great review, I just subscribed. P.S tell Damien to connect better with his clients, his customer service is really taking a beating by other reviewers and Fragrantica...vicious.

You make some great points bro. Thanks Michael.

@@stayfreshproductions revisiting this conversation 3 years later. Nobody is reviewing this house at all! Any info within the Frag review community as to why? I feel like I already know. Just curious. All honesty, this house had a chance to be great!

After all the hype Aventus was getting I ended buying a bottle (2017 batch) in early 2018. I wanted to wear it everyday but I pumped the brakes really quick because I didn’t want to use it all after spending all that money. Sometime in mid 2018 I heard about PV and decided to purchase PVI. At first, PVI smelled on skin like rotten oranges and I hated it. Fast forward several month that shit got older with age and it smells freaking awesome now. Yeah, my Aventus sits there in the closet and wear it only for special occasions. Since then I have purchased several bottles from PV and I have never had an issue with them. Their customer service is great and their shipping may not be speedy but their juice is great. I will personally will not buy Creed products anymore due to their lack of longevity and prices (which they have jacked up recently).
