The Cologne Everyone Loves To Hate! | Weekly Fragrance Rotation

[@gregory3227]

I don’t care what anyone says Aventus and Sauvage are in my top 5 all time

[@gerardgeorge]

Can't deny either ones appeal that's for sure.

[@robertosanchez2821]

We need that collection video. That would do numbers

[@gerardgeorge]

Im gonna plan this!

[@JamesOswalt]

I wore Creed Aventus the other day and got 14 compliments. Granted I worked at 2 jobs for 16 hours but it made a believer out of me.

[@gerardgeorge]

Its incredible . Girls love it too people calling it a boxer dropper are just regurgitating what they heard someone else say and have no real world experience with it.

[@jimlittle5769]

Ralph Lauren still sells Purple Label on their site. 125ml for $130.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yep I linked it for anyone who wants to check it out.

[@jaxexe9408]

a hightlight this week is definitely Turathi blue! I finally got it maybe 4 days ago and I've worn it 4 times since then! It's stupid good for the price

[@gerardgeorge]

This is one I will be trying soon. Glad you are liking it!

[@jimlittle5769]

Nice rotation Gerard! Mine was: Sun: Creed: Absolu Aventus Mon: Dior: Homme Cologne Tue: Goldfield & Banks: Ingenious Ginger Wed: Hugo Boss: Boss Bottled Triumph Elixir Thu: Creed: Absolu Aventus Fri: SOTD: Guerlain Tobacco Honey, SOTN: Michael Malul X Gents Scents: Terra Nova Sat: Goldfield & Banks: Bohemian Lime

[@gerardgeorge]

[@greggraham9785]

Great job on the video and rotation, I have never owned a bottle Creed Aventus but I had a sample 9ml and I think I paid $75 . I never got a compliment from a woman but I bought Armaf CDNIM and got compliments galore men and women . Stay safe brother

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks for sharing Greg! As long as you like it that's all that matters.

[@scarabeo500gt]

creed Aventus is still the King! Started wearing it from the start - 13 years I guess and I still have Original batch with new batch.

[@gerardgeorge]

Lucky you! I agree its amazing.

[@BlessedDelight1]

I love aventus. I recently purchased Insidious by Insider Parfums and it’s a phenomenal and probably the best clone and quality.

[@gerardgeorge]

Wow haven't heard of this one before. Thanks for sharing!

[@beaver6d9]

Just sprayed some of the real deal for the first time in 3 clones and goddamn it's on another planet. The clones do Aventus like a certain way (or few ways) and I love that, but like... If you really want Aventus, you gotta get Aventus. Guess I'm gonna have to wear Aventus this week!

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree 100%. Enjoy it!

[@bh7984]

I don’t care what people say about Aventus. My rotation. Sunday: Malibu Party in the Bay, by Simone Andreolli Monday: Scandal Parfum Cologne by Roja Tuesday: Declaration D’un Soir by Cartier (my favorite rose fragrance) Wednesday: Dior Homme Sport 2017 Thursday: Sur La Route by Louis Vuitton Friday: Apple Brandy on the rocks by Kilian Saturday: Dark Door Intense by Maison

[@gerardgeorge]

D'un Soir I think is discontinued and harder to find but I've wanted to try it for awhile.

[@michaelserns1516]

Stellar line up!! Sunday: Carner Sal Y Limon Monday: Aventys/BR540 layer Tuesday: Le Beau Paradise Garden Wednesday: MM Ocean Noir Thursday: Hawas Friday: Gucci Guilty Black Saturday: Sedley Have a great week!!

[@gerardgeorge]

Nice rotation Michael. I gotta try Paradise Garden.

[@andrefilismissingtooth]

My guy! Strike Gold Shave has a sale on all their EDP's. I just picked up 3 50ml for $7.60 each.

[@gerardgeorge]

Haven't heard of that brand before I'll check out their site thanks!

[@pandafragrance]

Spot on about Aventus when it was first released. I remember in 2010/2011 people didn’t like it but it exploded around 2012 and never stopped.

[@gerardgeorge]

Exactly.

[@neilclark9479]

21P01 is a nice batch. Good balance of pineapple woods and vanilla. It also gives a bit of a pine vibe on my skin. My favorite post 2019 batch I’ve tried.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes that's what I have.

[@adog86186]

My bottle of Creed I bought at the beginning of the year was super Smokey and not much pineapple. and now it did 360 and become this super fruity with a hint woody touch and get about 8 hrs out of it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Maceration is real.

[@jbthetestgod]

You mean 180😂

[@adog86186]

@@jbthetestgod glad you know what I ment 😂😂

[@michaelstewart3682]

Maturation is real

[@ucantfixstupid7443]

Hey Gerard. Not a big Aventus fan. Not that it is bad, just not my thing. Chopard on the other hand, I have all the Malakis.Great scents and definitely in my wheelhouse. Last week I wore the following: YSL Y Live, Nishane Ani, Prada L Homme Leau, YSL Ultime, Day 3 Silent Rescue, Joop Homme Le Parfum, and Lalique Oriental Zinc. Thanks for the video.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes definitely not going to be for everyone. Also, of the Chopards that I've tried I really like the house and want to try more. Nice rotation!

[@holomajzna357]

1000 Miglia is ❤. And I also have Miglia Chrono, which is a bit more warm spicy. Sunday - Mercedes-Benz Sign Your Attitude Monday - Coach Green Tuesday - Dolce&Gabanna Light Blue Pour Homme Forever Wednesday - Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green Thursday - Missoni Pour Homme Friday - Kenzo Homme Intense Saturday - Coach Open Road / Armaf CDNIM Limited Edition at evening

[@gerardgeorge]

Chrono's notes look great! Solid rotaion as always. Haven't heard of that Mercedes.

[@Maverick89071]

Fire video as usual Gerard!! 💪🏻

[@gerardgeorge]

Thank you brotha!

[@bellantwain21]

Nice choice's love the video G stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Antwain!

[@bendavid2320]

I paid 160 bucks for a 100ml bottle of Bleu Electrique and have no hard feelings about it, then got an email it was back in stock at Fragbuy for 100 bucks and I bought that one too.

[@gerardgeorge]

I would have done the same haha.

[@mangegnosis]

Nice job as always, Gerard. I hope your week is off to a great start. Thanks for making videos that I really enjoy watching. Best.

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks so much for this Mangegnosis I appreciate brotha.

[@sinjint13]

I have a few mililiters left of RL Purple. It was gifted to me back when it was first released.

[@gerardgeorge]

Love it.

[@coachkeith643]

Polo Red Extreme - The one discontinued fragrance that I will purchase if there's a good clone available. I've yet to hear a negative review of it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Its amazing. Their best IMO.

[@wagstaff6135]

I don't hate Aventus; I don't want to spend anywhere the price for it, though. I like Green Irish Tweed a whole lot more, though that one has its own cheapy twist/rip-offs/alternatives that might well stand in. Speaking of cheapies... I'm very curious to smell that Chopard! Wearing Comme des Garcons "Man 2" today.

[@gerardgeorge]

Exactly it all comes down to what you value something at and thats important in this hobby. The Chopard is great for the price.

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

Some amazing wears this week. Aventus really is one of the best to ever do it. The haters are ridiculous or they're mad at the price, but there's a reason it's far and away the most cloned fragrance ever. And yeah, you had two of my favorite Ralph Lauren scents on this week too. Really happy that you're liking Purple Label, I think I'm going to have to wear it out this week. This weekend I ended up wearing Mugler Hot Cologne and Guerlain Vetiver Extreme, and my girlfriend really, really like that Guerlain on me. It's a shame that it's so hard to find now and that it never took off like the original Guerlain Vetiver. Admittedly, it was probably a risky move to take the citrus out of the original and replace it with a far more herbal take, but it all blends together so beautifully I don't know how anyone could ever hate it.

[@gerardgeorge]

I would put Guerlains vetiver against any vetiver fragrance I've smelled so I can only imagine what tweaks they made in extreme. That one I have not smelled yet.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

It's a shame Aventus is getting a bad rap, that often happens when something becomes too popular. Snobbery at its worst. The Chopard sounds very interesting, I may have to pick that one up! Last week for me: Sun- Lattafa Maahir Legacy (great Sedley clone), Mon- Burberry Touch (an all-time favorite), Tues- Dunhill Century (I know you prefer the Blue, I love both), Wed- ADG Profondo, Thurs-- Mancera Hindu Kush, Fri- Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise and Sat- Kenzo Homme EDP. Well, I think summer's finally here!

[@gerardgeorge]

You nailed it! Great rotaion. Hindu Kush I still need to try.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

@@gerardgeorge I just received Hindu Kush and luckily had a cooler day to give it a full wear. Great scent but I don't detect the cannabis.

[@andrefilismissingtooth]

Got to try Chopard's Oud Malaki and Black Incense Malaki while I was in Barcelona last May. Phenomenal house. Thanks for introducing me to a Chopard I hadn't seen before.

[@Joel_Matrix]

I love Chopard Cedar oud Malaki.

[@gerardgeorge]

I haven't tried those but heard they are great. I am interested in more from the house after having tried this and Rose Malakai.

[@sinjint13]

Went to Burlington's on Saturday to pick up some tshirts and grabbed Cristiano Ronaldo's Game on. Some reviewers have said that it smells like Armani's Stronger with You the OG. I've never smelled Stronger with You. Game on smells amazing and can only imagine what the real thing smells like.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes I did a video on this awhile back. Its very close and for a great price. A nice addition.

[@debramartinez2665]

I love your accent❤

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Debra. Boston born and raised.

[@robpaxson4455]

Do you have Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche? My favorite fragrance ever, and what did you think of the Brady roast?

[@gerardgeorge]

Brady Roast was hilarious. I liked it. I haven't tried Blanche yet but hopefully will eventually.

[@joshuagarrison5378]

Creed Aventus is really that good

[@gerardgeorge]

It just is haha

[@AlejandroParedesBobadilla]

I love Aventus, above all, nothing smells like real deal Aventus, the one you spend more than $300 bucks, who ever says different they havent smell the real deal.

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree I have yet to smell anything like it.

[@BlessedDelight1]

Does your aventus perform at all?

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes it performs with class. Some restraint. That's my experience with most Creed. Not mean to be room filling, in your face fragrances. When you can't smell it, others can.

[@312Born-Bred]

Con-fkng-Cur! Aventus is a masterpiece! Eau Extreme , top 10 for life!!! G….. BOHEMIAN LIME 👊🏼wait til it’s hot out bro it’s soooo good, sexy shit! 👍🏼

[@gerardgeorge]

Let’s goooo!!!!

[@bendavid2320]

It don’t make no sense trying to argue Aventus ain’t worth the money now when designer elixer fragrances cost just as much these days.

[@gerardgeorge]

They are closing that gap aren't they? Great point

[@jasonjones0173]

Damn 1 min after

[@gerardgeorge]

There you go!

[@michaeladams9807]

👍👍™️

Thanks Michael!

I just got rid of my Aventus today 🥲 lol

[@gerardgeorge]

You had your reasons Cole there will be other fragrances my friend.
