Perfumer Tries to Identify REAL Creed Aventus!

[@arviainen]

Aaron is a real professional. Such a joy to follow the analysis and reactions to these clones, and the real deals. A great video!

[@jimiola2781]

Pretty amazing that the way he picked out the real one was from the weakness of the scent. It’s a hard pass for me.

[@bmoneybby]

I'm still laughing.

[@gbej1]

The weakness wasn’t the only reason why he guessed correct

Aaron is such a good soul bless him! He never wants to offend any of the perfumers so he always takes back the slight comments or what some might consider criticism. Top notch vid as always! Really enjoy seeing Aaron out of his regular video setup so keep bringing him back please

[@KrissyCakes88882]

Might be because he got sued by Fragrance du Bois before

Aaron was utterly slating people before 😂 he’s defo toned it down for some reason or another (hadn’t heard about the above before!)

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

This was a pleasure to watch. The fact that Aaron did this off of paper strips just blew my mind. Did not know him, but have now subscribed to his channel, too.

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

And since then have purchased ATH fragrances. Holy moly, they're awesome.

[@audiman7716]

I sub to a ton of frag channels but you guys seem really cool. Probably a blast to hang out with. Great job on the video and Aaron’s 100% correct with creed not paying attention to customers. I hate my current batches of Aventus. Used to love my old ones. Damn shame

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Cheers!

[@lok6314]

what batch number is that you speak of

[@victorashul]

7:25 something along the lines of "this may be Aventus cause it doesn't have the longevity" - if that doesn't give you the reason to go for a clone, I don't know what does..

[@Elipad1541]

Getting Aaron to smell Aventus is like a torture, you could see him 🤣🤣

[@adelinamiller5667]

Speaking of fragrance longevity, I sprayed a small amount of ATH Luna at 9am yesterday and at 9pm after a whole day at work I walked into my friend's house and was immediately asked what fragrance I was wearing because it was so strong! THAT IS QUALITY

[@louisefisher9959]

Love Luna 🌹 compliment getter for sure.

Aaron is really talented but very humble guy, I really enjoy his style of thinking about perfume. Please send him my regards, and thank you for bringing him in!

[@Sheeshening]

Aaron is such an asset, I bet he could really help one to optimize a designer scent to ones liking.

Much love from The U.S.! These videos are my favorite!

[@megasoid]

Aaron nailed this, not surprised at all. Thanks for a fantastic segment.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Could literally put some lemon pledge under Aaron's nose and it's identical to new batches of Creed, absolutely vile whatever muck they're producing currently. ATH fragrances absolutely wipe the floor with Creed right now, more love and care is directed towards the consumer and everything is done wonderfully and with such a personable attitude.

[@shpalman7]

It's great to see how far Aaron has come in the past few years.

[@dahnyul]

I love you both interacting like this! So funny and hilarious while at the same time informational :-) Aaron showing true unicorn magician status and Chris being a true creator and pulling strings as usual :-) I love these videos!

[@zetamale]

That was the most analytical comparison/blind test I've seen on youtube. well done!

[@zetamale]

Identifying the real one because of it's poor performance is wild!

[@theeddld]

I always dig the vids with Aaron. And it's quite a statement that he was able to pick out the...what is a $500 bottle here in the States...by the fact that it wouldn't last long at all.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

😂 I know, crazy right?

[@miguelcardenas2413]

Well right now is 260 at Costco just saying .

[@willmarshall4685]

I learn a lot watching Aaron. I own several clones and I’ve noticed that I can’t pick up much scent on first spray but as the day goes on they start to radiate. But the scent they are radiating is more often than not very simple with one or two notes coming through. This gives me a mall oil vibe. I can buy a bath and body works pineapple oil for around 10 bucks. I’ve found the sweet spot is with Mancera fragrances. They give you that heavy base oil vibe but they smell more sophisticated and well blended than most clone houses. My two cents.

[@ColdComrade]

good job, you're not wrong.

[@elrey7223]

Aaron, you're amazing! Love the way you describe each one, very professional 👍🏼

[@MattJames37]

[@Demi1369]

This was just magical to watch! The way he analyzes the composition of each fragrance to determine the authentic fragrance amongst the clones is astounding! As a fragrance enthusiast, I aspire to reach his level of detection some day. Hefty aspiration for sure, but quite an accomplishment if managed. Aaron does set a high bar! 🥰💕

[@ahmedelbahja6301]

I loved watching this video. It's a joy to hear him talk. Very impressive by ATH.

[@TroyPey]

My favorite is Montblanc explorer. It’s not a clone and that’s what I love about it. It smells so damn amazing the 3 perfumers did an amazing job with explorer and the notes they used in it. It is my favorite fragrance of all time and I have smelt many many fragrances.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I guess the line is fine between clone and “heavily influenced”!

[@nightlore000]

Montblanc explorer is my favorite also .. and it lasts about 10 hours on my skin .. my Mrs commented on it when I came in from work that she could still smell it ...

[@normh5476]

I’m very impressed with Aaron’s nose!!! Superb job

[@EliasUlrich1984]

Great video, BTW Aventus in México costs around 8000 pesos, which is quite expensive for its current performance. To give you an idea, that is the monthly salary of a mall security officer before taxes. Saludos mi estimado Aaron!

[@edgardozara97]

Chris, is it possible to ask Aaron to identify which Aventus take is best be it clone like cdnim or inspired by like Hacivat and include aventus grail batches to determine which dna smells the best or the blend that smells the best version or take on what should be the King's royal blood

[@paulwoolgar5384]

Great video, Chris! Always a pleasure seeing the two of you together. One *slight* thing, though: the CDNIM Parfum is not the same juice as the Limited Edition Parfum (which is the one that Aaron reviewed very positively recently). The Limited Edition is noticeably smoother and more 'airy' than the straight parfum.

[@VTun1ng]

Really? Many claims that Pure Parfume (edp) and Limited Edition parfume are same juice, just that LE is in fancy packing

[@apair4002]

​​@@VTun1ng Nope. LE Parfum & CDNIM Pure Parfum smells different. I own edt, le, edp & pure parfum. LE more fruitiness & you can smell the pineapple. Pure Parfum less lemony & heavy metallic smell. Le much more well rounded in term of freshness, frutiness, smokiness & spl. From opening, drydown till almost skin scent, I can tell which one edt, le & pure parfum. Overall pure parfum is dark version of Le. Simple.

[@VTun1ng]

@@apair4002 tested both since i posted that comment. Difference isn't worth mentioning.

[@adbethsing383]

Love this! Always wanted to see if a professional can distinguish these things.

[@thefreestylefrEaK]

10:41 He says Parfums Vintage "Emperor" is "nice". In a more recent video (a month back) he stated it smelled "flat" and he didn't like it. So which one is it?

[@terryhollifield9343]

Cheers, Aaron! Not that anyone needs another Aventus clone, but, to my nose, Montagne Parfums Pineapple Musk is essentially a 1:1 recreation of vintage Aventus.

[@LucidAnomalies_]

I have a 2013 W01 batch of Aventus that is really heavy on the birch tar, patchouli and black currant… but the performance on it is pretty insane. The sweet and creamy woody dry down is really quality. Half way through my 4.0oz bottle

[@SteveJarek]

Aaron has been wanting to test an early batch, see if he will review a sample

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

sounds like the one I just got from macys, 6+ hours later can strongly smell from a single spray especially the birch but not sure what the other notes are with it but it's nice. I can't fathom how people would say it doesn't last with how insanely potent the one I got is.

[@geofflilley7465]

Well done, Aaron! Loving the new hair and botox btw.

[@leeallen463]

Great video. Out of all the clones which clone would you recommend?

[@wbell9069]

I haven’t smelled all of these clones, but I’ve owned Creed Aventus and Emperor & Emperor Extrait by Parfums Vintage. Emperor slayed the other two! It wasn’t even close. Women stopped me all the time and gave me compliments. The sillage and longevity are unmatched!

Ashton at Gents Scents did a video a while ago where he had his wife give him a blind test of all his Aventus clones (of which he has many). If I recall he was able to, not only tell which was Aventus, but he also correctly guessed what all the others were as well. I was impressed.

[@VeganChiefWarrior]

That's cause he literally buys every fragrance and probably just sits in his office sniffing frags all day haha

[@themusicdr]

first of all kudos to aaron for gettin this spot on 2nd - its so nice to see how humble and almost shy he is - esp at the end :-)

[@mike_smR]

Great video and you both are amazing. Would love to support Aaron’s brand, but we cant buy his fragrances in Australia yet😔. I have a new metal cap bottle of Aventus and when compared with the 2019 batch, it is much more smokier and lasts longer too. But Like Aaron, I have no idea how the OG’s smelt and so could mean nothing.😊

[@aznswag6030]

WELL DONE AARON .. good advice you have given him - to trust his own sense of self more !! good vibes - happy vibes - solid friendship =)

[@lovhfragrances]

Amazing 👏 Agree! Explorer does not smell like Aventus. It's fresh cut lemon, not pineapple with the Aventus DNA.

[@andrewmanzanares6618]

I have a 2021 batch decant and it goes away after 5 minutes on my skin like Aaron mentioned. It smells great in the opening but it QUICKLY fades to a lemony/woody/smoky skin scent that's barely detectable. The clones are MUCH better than current batches and at a way better price point.

I got my second bottle a few years ago and it is so weak compared to the original, very disappointed. Not only that but the price had obviously gone up ... and bottle size reduced to 100ml !!

What year is the very best of all? I've had the 2016 and liked it. But I've yet to find a rounded fruitier blend. I like the smokey but want a soft fruity smell too. Pineapple Vintage is a little too sharp on the Pineapple. ATH should be protected at all cost. 💎 What a treasure!

Shame you didn't have laventure intense, hard to trick a master, but its very close to current aventus with better performance. Personally, I don't get metallic notes from CDNIM parfum, it's like smoky OG aventus and is very roundly blended and nicely done 👌 There is a note or two not in the original though creed fomula which makes it both different and better (more masculine) than the current formulation and gets too many compliments 😀

[@klackers]

[@James7995]

I wonder if we need a new tier, or start referring to some houses Corporate Niche and other as Indy Niche.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

0:50 I eould describe the scent as a 60 year old heavy smoker that took a shower with Old Spice shower gel. Then, he put on his wool suit that has been sitting on his closet for years do it has that "old, moldy, animalic, salty scent. Im summary, Aventus has a bright green citrus peel essential oil scent, then you get some slight fruitiness, a blast of cigarette smoke, some white florals (cleanliness), and you end you with a wet moss and ambergris finale with a dry down that smells like a camfire smoke by the ocean.
