Regardless of anything creed might have the best quality idk how they do it but they do mimic realistic smelling fragrance. You definitely get 3 stages after opening. I don’t care about any fragrance lasting 24hrs I’ll take the realistic scent with 4/6hrs over a more synthetic smell for 15hrs I like to take showers so don’t need a fragrance lasting all day
Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts AMG 🙏🙏🙏

One of best Creed breakdown, new subscribers
Welcome to our little corner of fragcomm 💪
ramsey i would just like to thank you, the size of the smile on my face when you said " mancera smells like synthetic trash" just made my day
i dont know why people on youtube praise mancera so highly, most if not all of them just smell like a air freshener or a very sweet cocktail of crap.
even the new cedrait boise intense is awful, there are much better smelling alternatives for much cheaper.
Totally agree... mancera is 👎
I freaking love Royal Oud.
I do too....its one of the best Cedar frags of all time 😂😂😂
french lover >
Royal Oud worth a blind buy?
My advice would be to try to find an older bottle ... 2016 or before if possible...but its one of my favorite Creeds 🤌🤌🤌
I still think that 80s and 90s Creed freshies are superb, there is something that wants me come back to those again and again. GIT/SMW/MI are my favorites from that era
They R fantastic....modern Creed could learn something from 80s / 90s Creed lol
Awesome vid Ramsey. I remember Sebastian once mentioning that they sold Eau de Rochas in european Sephoras.🤔 Used to be my summer layering fragrance of choice. I remember going through my decant of ZMP in like a week too. Loved that stuff but never went for a bottle. Still quite a few from the brand that I haven't tried and probably never will at this point. But I just got into Royal Mayfair last year. Really works well on my skin. Brrrrisk. And certainly not boring.
Agreed and since it kinda flopped in sales you can find it HEAVILY discounted 😄
Thanks for such great work Ramsey, and I Love the Shirt.
Thanks for watching cat 🐈
I never understood how people can hate so much on Creed for their misleading backstory and subpar quality, yet think PDM is somehow worthy of reverence in the fragrance world. PDM has a backstory that is every bit as fictional and hokey as Creed, and PDM uses massive amounts of synthetics as well, and they also just recreate designer scents and markup the price; yet no mention of PDM being overpriced for what they offer. Its just surprising that only Creed is discredited for the same flaws that PDM has. And whats worse is PDM had the nerve to create their spinoff house Initio which is even more overpriced per mL than the original house lol
Spot on... pdm backstory is a joke as well 😂😂😂
Btw initio might be the brand I hate the most of all brands lol
PDM making double money off of Initio it’s actually smart but I agree Creed has the most natural smelling scents
Runner up would be Byredo and maybe MFK
Have Royal Oud in my cart then I was like wait let me see if The Ram reviewed it! Buying!
Let me know what you make of it my friend 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam absolutely!!
@@RamseytheRam I LOVE IT!! 🔥❤️
long time hobbyist and wow that was an excellent video. looking forward to your content, thanks.
Excited to have you here with us... thanks so much for watching... I have put out a ton of content over the last 18 months ... go check out some of my other videos 🍻
The best Creeds, at least my favourites, are 80's Creeds.
Yes the good old days 💪🐏
My 2013 Vanisia arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait!!
Oh heck yea... congrats 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for this information video!
I am new to the niche game and I am learning so much from your videos! 👍
Welcome to our little corner of fragcomm my friend 🍻
I like how honest you are about buying the bottles and the in depth analysis of each fragrance that you've done. It's a breath of fresh air hearing an opinion that can be seen as "controversial" but straight to the point. Very good video and keeps my feelings towards creed as a brand intact tbh, I have always seen people crap on Creed for whatever reasons but I've recently got around to sampling and experiencing them for myself and yes although they are recent batches I still feel like the scents are really good quality and whether I track down a good deal or buy a bottle comes down to how I like them, but at least they I am enjoying them.
Thanks for adding to the conversation & taking the time to watching & comment Jean-Luc Q 🤌🤌🤌
@@RamseytheRam thanks for responding! Sorry just got back from a trip and wasn’t on internet much, I really have enjoyed your channel so far even though I’m not a huge fan of vintage stuff but I like listening to your insight kinda like a podcast haha! But you are definitely a breath of fresh air in this community, I like how honest you are about fragrances and really have thoroughly enjoyed your family portrait videos mainly for that reason! Even got me to try Royal Oud (which I ended up liking very much!) as I was always worried about it maybe being to Oud-y lol but overall you’re awesome keep it up!
I just tried Creed Vanisia.
Yes, great vintage like Shalimar. Made an offer on a 30 ml.
Creed Taberone uses an authentic tobacco leaf essense.
It's a true green tobacco leaf.
My great uncle had a tobacco farm. He dried the tobacco leaves in a shed, and it smelled green and herbal. just like the tobacco in Taberone.
That's great stuff ... thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
I wrote a review of diagalev and I described it as a shape shifter because like you, I notice different things each time I wore it
It is a shape shifter... but it also shifts to stuff I love... cumin... leather... civet.... dirty sexy florals ... gonna do a ranked video of mt favorite chypre's of all time...Diaghilev is gunning for the #1 spot 😊
39:17 You think it's absurd to pay 1000 dollars for a bottle of perfume. Here in Brazil a creed costs on average 3500.00 and the minimum wage is about 1400.00 kkkkkkkk I bought a Bois du portugal for 3200.00, Saturday arrives. Out of curiosity for us, 1 dollar is equivalent to 5.60 reais approximately. Its insane
Wow I had no idea it was that expensive in Brazil 😳
Love Tabarome… not over popularized and get many compliments. Seems to always get low reviews online but idk, gets more compliments than green Irish tweed for me and just smells great.
I really like Tabarome too... very unique Tobacco scent 🤌🤌🤌
Ramsey i have to tell you, i discovered a great passione for Creed fragrances...Always hunting old batches 😁💪.
Old batches are where it is at indeed 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching 🍻
amber-gree…awesome video, thx for sharing
There was actually an Ambergris collector who wrote a book and came on Galens channel who said the S at the end should be pronounced 🤷🏻♂️
I never bought into the marketing bs of Creed. Whether they started in 1960 or 1760, I couldn't help but say that their fragrances do smell closely to being natural unlike other brands that smell like a synthetic mess. Their fragrances don't have beast performance which is a positive thing because no one likes to be bombarded by fragrances.
That being said, I appreciate your list. It's funny that we have opposite preferences because my most favorite Creeds were last on your list while the ones that I disliked were first on your lists. My most favorite one is SMW because it smells clean and classy at the same time. I couldn't stand Viking even though I tried to let it grow on me, and I found OV too basic. But I guess that's what makes us unique!
Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment... and for sure everyone's tastes are different 🙏🙏🙏
I heard a bunch of Creed top 10..
So I was surprised how interesting your Creed show was..
I ordered a couple of carded vials of Vanisia for $10.
Windsor is my #1 fragrance, even ahead of Areej.
It is close to Royal Mayfair, but when you get to know it, quite a bit better.
A nice fragrance that's close to Aventus, but it's own fragrance. Not trying to be a clone. Atelier Cologne Music Imperial. It has a fruity fig vs pineapple.
Nice thanks for watching ... I did a comparison video between Royal Mayfair and Windsor on the channel
Dear 🐏, despite all that has been said about the book's revelations which I also condone, the other side of the coin to me is that Olivier Creed was a business managment and a marketing wizard buy building a little frag unicorn. Furthermore, let's incorporate the mass of inspirations out there as well as the blatant clones trying to milk some more cash off poor newbies.
Having said that, Creed is ranked high in my list of elegant professional gentleman scents. Not having the opportunity to smell many of them yet, I love spritzing things like VIW, SMW, Viking or Santal on appropriate ocasions. Funny thing about Mayfair... cannot wear it anymore in 2022 so I guess we went in opposite directions here.
As always, top commentary and a pleasure to invest time listening to you.
Thanks for adding so much to the discussion and for watching & commenting 🙂
Can’t wait for “this is not a top ten chypres”!!!
Coming soon 🚧👷♂️
Royal water, silver mountain are simply beautiful when the snow melts in early spring
Fantastic stuff from one of the GOATS ... thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
This video deserves more views, and I bet it will be the top Creed ranking video as it ages.
Thank you that is very kind my friend... I appreciate the support 🙏🙏🙏
This video need a time stamp then it will get more views
Ramsey,
Hello! Thanks for the list! In regards to VIW, I feel the vintage blue cap bottle was far superior to the reformulated silver cap bottle.
Please let me know where that Perfume book you mentioned can be purchased. As a collector, it sounds like an eye opening, thought provoking book to read.
Thanks again. A2!
Just search it on Amazon... the ghost perfumer... amazing easy read... real eye opening... I never had the pleasure to smell the vintage blue cap version but I heard it was superior... as is the case with most Creeds... the older the better 😁
I need to try Royal Oud. Everyone raves about it.
One of my favorite creeds ... check out my "western oud" video to see how high I ranked it! 🙏🙏🙏
@@RamseytheRam Thanks. Oh I’ll have a look for that. Could you purchase Royal Oud blind?
@@richards9750 yea there is nothing super challenging in it
Royal Oud 😍… I’ve been into designer fragrances for years on and off, Royal Oud was my 1st more expensive/classy scent though and man I love it. I’ve got many others now, but the Royal Oud will always be king! 😎👑
It is really one of the best Creeds 👑
Cool video. I have one comment. U mentioned French Lover is like royal oud, I feel spice and wood is much more close to French Lover with just added fruit and the creeds freshness in their frags. I own both spice n wood and French Lover and and as soon as I smelled spice n wood after owning French Lover to me it was obvious
Yes I think there is a connection between all 3 😊
Might show up in a "Connections" episode one day... thanks so much for watching & commenting 🍻
Very interesting! Could you please do women's Creed review? Thank you!
Actually yes yes I have discussed women Creeds like Vanisia on the channel ... thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
@RamseytheRam l never heard about Vanisia before. I wonder if it is discontinued. Any recommendations from the current selection available in stores? Thank you!
@@mingailem8519 I just did a review of Vanisia on the channel 🙂
Recently bought VIW and Erolfa. I love them both and looking forward to wearing them in the heat.
Great video 👊🏻
Those are both bangers in the heat... I love EROLFA especially and still have a drop or two of VIW 🙂🌞
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
Btw I recently came across your channel. It's great. Creed was my first venture into Niche but I still adore Silver Mountain Water. I also have a 2013 bottle of Aventus 3/4 full
Cherish that 2013 bottle of Aventus
Thanks for watching & commenting & being in our little corner of fragcom 🙂
Creed Viking is one of the greatest mens ever ..that ambergris note is outrageous
It is really good ... it's funny going back and seeing the people in 2017 bashing it back then lol
@RamseytheRam in 2017 I remember first trying it in store and being slightly puzzled ..so I kept buying 10ml decants on ebay , I think I went through 80ml buying decants lol , since then I've been through 3 bottles , what astounds me is the ambergris note in the early batches , luckily I have bk ups, some batches the peppermint is more prominent, but over time I've really started to appreciate the Rose..its just an incredible fragrance
Brilliant rundown 👍 and my top 10 is pretty similar apart from the addition of royal delight and green valley.... aventus isn't even in because back in the day everyone with a bit of money or spoilt brat in the UK had to wear it to death, just because it was loud and expensive, and for me it's worse than sauvage for being off putting and refused to wear it and follow the sheep.... but it is a great fragrance though.
P.s. I just bought an empty bottle of Creeds cuir de russie for £20 but it seems to still have 2/3 ml left in the bottom, which is the reason for the purchase... really just to get my nose on it and see how it compares to my other guerlain, chanel, areej, zworykina, monsavon, and memo leathers.... and ultimately if it's full bottle worthy and tracking down.
Do let me know on Cuir de Russie by Creed ... been sleeping on it 😴
Wish I had Green Valley... unfortunately it is impossible to find without just giving the person with the bottle the password to your checking account 😂😂😂
I’m currently collecting Creed’s - the house that got me to start collecting back in 2011 when I bought Aventus & also the house I fell out of love with for some years for obvious reasons Made a dent in bois du portugal the last three months. Also been reaching for Royal Mayfair a bit too recently. Just picked up a 2013 royal water bottle - on it’s way to me - also a complete blind buy. Excited to try it.
Ps can’t believe I only got Royal Oud this year (only a 10ml for now) I never liked it until a month ago!
Thanks for watching & sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Gabe's unsued status speaks volumes
Yes spot on ! No retractions 😳
Great video! 🙌🙌🙌🙏❤️
Thanks for watching & commenting Rachel 😊
1:50 you are absolutely right, if a $20 fragrance smells divine your brain will still percieve it as "cheap" financially of course, but quality? Cheap.
Thanks so much for watching & commenting 🍻
Nice to see that you really like Acier Aluminium! It is my signature scent :)
I love Acier Aluminum... one of the most underrated Creeds 😁
Hey Ramsey! Where would you put Absolu Aventus and Aventus cologne?
Never smelled Absolu but I would put Aventus Cologne at the bottom...I hated it
Excellent video and selection there Ramsey. I own most of the Creed range having bought most of them at the beginning of my fragrance collector journey. In hind sight I was definitely in that ‘more you pay, the better the quality’ mindset and although I do truly like them all, quite a few of them I probably won’t replace if I ever finish the bottles. That said, there are certain ones I love particularly Green Irish Tweed which was the first Creed (and niche fragrance) I ever bought. I still also have plenty of time for Royal Oud and Aventus and also most of the other Bourdon’s such as Milliseme Imperial and Erolfa.
Yeah I was in the exact same boat... the high price tag and Niche stories sold me... glad to have them since no way would I buy them today at this point in time 😄
Recently decided to shift to Creed exclusively. Ordered samplers for each fragrance they have on the market so far…. Decided to go with Spice and Wood, Original Santal, and Tabarome for myself, Love in White for my better half, Royal Oud Princess for my munchkin 1 (girl), and Zeste Mandarine for munchkin 2 (boy)
Nice!
Thanks for watching & commenting 🙂
This is the most extensive Creed list I have ever encountered from anybody, for instance, all the secret hidden Creeds that I have never heard about like Royal English Leather, Acier Aluminum, etc. You are truly a hidden gem in the FragCom. I knew you on to something when you said Aventus Cologne was trash because it’s the most boring generic designer-like fragrance from them when everybody else is always hyping that one.
Thank you but the search never ends I still want a bottle Angelique Encens & Tabarome (vintage)
And Aventus Cologne is trash 🗑
Only two creeds I own are Royal Oud and Green Irish Tweed. I love them! Great video. I love the backs of the boxes and the little cards where Creed has little stories where they brag. " I what's in the duty-free shop at the airport smelling Paco rabanne xs...um,I mean I was in the Himalayan mountains, that's right,the Himalayan mountains when I was inspired to make this scent.I have never even heard of Paco rabanne XS" lol. That's what ought to be at the back of the Creed boxes and on those little cards. Anyway, great video and a good guide for me when picking my next Creed.
Thanks Justin .. the BS stories really make me cringe & I think Olivier Creed dipped out at just the right time... he the luckiest bastard 😆
Hmmm Creed. In my journey to niche perfumes Creed was a compulsory station to stop.
My first Creed was Aventus. Good but not outstanding and yes people does a lot of compliments when I wear it.
Then I tested others but my the only one I would save of all of them is Bois de Portugal which is exceptional from my point of view. The rest not bad not good and of course not worthy for the price they sell them.
Great video again.
Thanks for watching & sharing Luis ...thanks for adding to the conversation 😊
Royal oud is my favorite creed
It is fantastic isnt it? Rasquinet did a brilliant job with it 🍻
Hello. Do you think besides Aventus, other Creed fragrances have batch diversity also (significantly different)? And after being sold to Black Rock, does Creed fragrances still smell good? I want to buy Green Irish Tweed, Erolfa, Solver Mountain Water, Original Vetiver and Bois de Portugal. Hopefully I will receive response from you. Thank you!
I do think there are differences after blackrock purchased them.... when ever I buy my creeds I always try and buy older batches 2016 or less ... happy hunting 🙏
Great freakin video!
Thank you so much Jacob... appreciate you watching & commenting 😊
No Green Valley? Have you tried, mylord?
I have a sample floating around somewhere 😇
@@RamseytheRam it is worthy of its own review right after you make the best mint fragrances
Excellent video !
My favorite Creed was Cypres Musc and I still have a half ounce left
Honorable mention: vintage Tabarome sadly vaulted
Never smelled either... maybe one day🙋♂️
Since Erolfa is my favorite Creed and my all time favorite aquatic fragrance, I purchased a 75ml from 1997, beginning of this year.
Obviously I checked beforehand that it was stored and kept along the rules of fragrance and there’s no sign of it being turned what so ever.
It’s much, much more deep and rich than my 2019 bottle. I don’t know when to wear it since I want to keep the juice for as long as possible…
Wear it and enjoy it mate.... thats my motto ... but EROLFA is one of my favorite 'acquatics' too 🌊
I used to think that Virgin Island Water smelled like suntan lotion....until I came across Serge Lutens' Un Bois Vanille. Now that is a suntan lotion scent!
Ugh 🌞🎽🧴
Good one
Thanks for watching 👀
I only own a few creeds but I’m missing a vintage of Bois du Portugal. I absolutely love that scent. I also need to get my hands on a vintage Vanisia. I would consider Shalimar my favorite fragrance of all time. So I could only imagine how much I would enjoy Vanisia. Awesome video like always Ramsey.🙌🏻
If Shalimar is your favorite fragrance of all time just blind buy an older bottle of Vanisia and come back and thank me later... I am that confident you will love it 😊
@@RamseytheRam well looks like I have to start searching for a reasonably priced bottle. I trust your nose 💪🏻
Do it! 🤌🤌🤌
Don't forget Chevrefeuille!!! "Chevrefeuille" in French means Honeysuckle. Chevrefeuille is Creeds Honeysuckle scent, released in the early '80's. I have a small decant of it and it's the only real vintage Creed juice I own. Would love to get a full bottle of Chevrefeuille. I grew up in Virginia with honeysuckle all over our fence line.
I admire the house of Creed more than most. I separate Olivier's shenanigans from the quality of the scents and the house DNA. I read The Ghost Perfumer, and don't forget that Pierre Bourdon, and probably others in the industry, regard Olivier Creed as maybe the world's best scent evaluator of the last 50 years. Creed fragrances show up several times in my favorites cabinet for my over 200 bottle collection. Here is my current top 10 Creeds:
1. Bois du Portugal
2. Royal Oud
3. EROLFA
4. Green Irish Tweed
5. Green Valley
6. Viking
7. Royal Water
8. Aventus
9. Spice and Wood
10. Pure White Cologne
I also just acquired Vetiver Geranium from the Aqua Originale line. It's very nice.
Royal Mayfair smell of mothballs due to the eucalyptus note. Too strong for me. Maybe someday I'll be able to smell the beautiful woman in that Rorsach test.
I heard rumors that Creed MAY bring back Green Valley out of their vault. Just last night I checked with Gustavo at the Ceasars Palace Las Vegas Creed boutique and he said no word yet.
I doubt I'll ever get my nose on Vanisia, but I would love to.
I have a bottle of Tabarome Millesime and hated it at first but now really like it.
Oh, and EROLFA is the greatest oceanic/marine fragrance in history.
Thanks for the great Creed house review.
Thank you for adding so much to the conversation... I have never smelled Chèvrefeuille... maybe one day.... but Tabarome Prive (or vintage Tabarome if you will) & Creeds Cuir de Russie are higher on my to sniff wish list 😊🍻
Thank you for the video. Shalimar..Hm. I am going to try to find your video on it. Which would you recommend to try? (Looks like there is a bunch of versions)
Listen to AC from the channel smellsgood
.. I have yet to review Shalimar but it is my all time favorite vanilla & in my top ten of all time
Fragrances are personal and is your opinion. I actually love creeds exclusive line especially sublime Vanille, and spice and wood are my top two. Royal oud is good just too peppery in the opening but the dry down is nice and I did pick up a bottle of vanisia based on your ranking and I regret doing so. Plan to gift it-too animalic for me and heady. Thanks anyway
Thanks for watching & commenting
Aventus cologne should be there ita better than the original in current batches. Great mandarin note
I personally didn't like Aventus Cologne...but that just one Ram's opinion 🐏
Timestamps would help
I need an assistant lol
100% with you on Royal Mayfair. I have 2 extra 125mL bottles. Don’t know why this gets no love
Its fantastic... i think it just takes some warming up to for some people 🍻
To me, Zeste mandarine snells like ig you had sprayed a cheap Orange Blossom perfumed insecticide over a makeup box
😂😂😂
Damn... i am never going to be able to forget that now 🐞
Love royal oud and also royal Mayfair 👌
Thanks for watching Georgie 😊
Did you get a chance to sniff Aventus Cologne ?
Yes not a fan
Does anyone here also think that Silver Mountain water smells very similar to milisime Imperial?
Its the same perfumer... Pierre Bourdon... so it is in the same style if you will 🤌🤌🤌
Heard Millsime has a watermelon smell to it tho
Love aventus, swm, royal mayfair, erolfa, aventus for her, like Viking complement getter
Thanks so much for watching & adding to the coversation 🍻
Royal Oud is the best Creed fragrance for certain. Neroli Sauvage is right behind it. Both of them are hardly mentioned 🤷🏾♂️
Edit: Tabarome is also never mentioned. 🌊
Thanks for watching & commenting 💪🐏
Where do you usually buy your creed fragrances and other fragrances too
You could check with my brother Anooj from Enchante Perfumes... sometimes they have vintage Creeds
Anyone know when Creed started using batch codes on their bottles and boxes? I have two bottles with short ingredient lists and no batch code label. I’m guessing 2000 onwards
We will have to leave this up as an ask the audience question... I honestly have no clue
Well covered right there,bar Vanisia which I never sniffed but I do enjoy Shalimar so there’s that , I gotta concur on the top 5 (but I really enjoy Royal Water ) Ah Creed Love you ,Love you not ,gotta hand it to them ,always topical always on our minds one way or another hahaha 👍
Probably wouldnt buy full bottles of many of these if I had to re-do my collection right now... so lets just say I am glad to have them lying around so I can spray on with reckless abandon anytime I want 😊
Next video: ranking every single Aventus batch
😂😂😂
Anything 2017 and prior is good .... everything 2018 and onward is 👎
“The princess of spain great grandmother from the 1800 commissioned these scent” - cracks me up 😂😂😂 a whole lot of bull…
The only full bottle creed i have is GIT and a few decants of Aventus from different batches. The price point of creed is just not worth diving into.
Have you tried Nicolai NY (not the intense version) Rams?
Nope ... but I would like to one day... its on my to sniff list 🐽
Thanks for watching 🤌🤌🤌
Interesting video, I sat through the entire thing. I learned a lot. U would be the person I would call if some said to grab a CREED expert. Thanks for the video and info.
Thanks for the support and for watching 🍻
Do you know if these new Vanisia bottles are the same scent? Reformulated ofc but looks like the same?
I have never smelled anything past 2013 bottle which is excellent!
Hey i noticed you have flacons. How do you spray them lol. I've always been interested in flacons in general but dont know how to spray them. Bit weary on decanting, is it easy? I feel like i will drop the bottle haha
It is very easy.. just get your pipette & your desired decant size 🙂
@@RamseytheRam thanks!
Green valley?
I don't own it
These family portraits are based on fragrances I own
I would love a bottle of Green Valley but I refuse to pay after market prices
erolfa reminds me of Lagerfeld Photo alot....and suprise, it was released a couple of years before erolfa.
I never thought of that as I remember Lagerfeld being more Aldehydic in the opening & just fresh but not oceanic
Thanks for watching & commenting 🙏
@@RamseytheRam no youre right, no oceanic touches. its just that in your face brightness is similar in both to me (guess the aldehydes)
and np, just found your channel recently, which sucks because youre very knowledgable compared to other channels ive been watching for years now lol
@@SeanHH1986 thanks so much and glad to have you as a subscriber Sean 🙂
Hey Ram! I have found Creed Venisia (75ml female bottle) I assume they all came in female bottles brand new for 107 eur. Is it really that good? I have a lot of vintage creeds in my collection so it's not like I don't know what to expect. I just have never smelled or bought any female orientated creeds.
They actually did NOT all come in the female bottles some of the earlier versions came in the normal creed bottles and flaccons.... yes its amazing but you have to like that shalimar DNA... imagine creed does Shalimar... stunning sandalwood and big tart bergamot opening ... one of my all time favorite creeds
@@RamseytheRam well buying Diaghilev of your recomendation broght me my 3'd favorite acent ever. So what the heck I'll take it and let you know how it went, when I get it !:)
@@pauliusmatonis1492 thats a great price... i have never heard anyone hype up Vanisia except me lol
@@RamseytheRam Well thats the main reason why I payed atention lol. What most people hype almost always turn out to be boring. Unique stuff can't be for everyone by definition.
Agree with Himalaya. Was amazing now just good. I’ve been buying original vetiver for years and it always had a animatic note. My recent bottle no longer has it and I suspect the ingredient was ambergris.
Its quite possible... i know they used to just use the highest quality materials they could and charge obscene prices ... i think its time to stick a fork in em... creed is dead ⚱️⚰️
@@RamseytheRam shame. I’m not ashamed to say they literally used to blow me away when I tested them. I never owned Portugal but it was the poshest thing I had ever smelled. High class.
Yup all of that is over ... and buying old creeds is a crap shoot because of the high amount of citrus freshness in many creeds that tends to turn and go bad the fastest 😨
@@RamseytheRam yes that high quality bergamot can turn to fly killer spray
What is the Coros perfume he mentioned again? Was it Sandalia Coros?
Do you mean Kouros? Sorry not sure what you are referring to 🤷♂️
How do you open the flacons
You mean yours is stuck and won't open? I have put it in the freezer for 5 or 10 minutes before and that usually does the trick
Did you talk about Tabarome Millesime??
Pretty sure.... I will be reviewing that fragrance soon
@@RamseytheRam Tabarome will be my next purchase no one talk about it and I’m sure not too many people are wearing due to it not being sold in boutiques
Is eBay a good place to buy creeds
Buying Creeds off eBay is like gambling 🎲
My biggest disappointments from niche fragrances are Creed Millesime Imperial(synthetic calone drugstore smell) and Xerjoff Shunkoin(coconut smell with terrible performance).
Never smelled Shunkoin... but I despise Xerjoff 😒
Never got a synthetic smell from any Creeds
my GF loves her retail-bought SMW 😢 I needa get her to try mefisto or smtg I think😂
SMW aint bad ... i just wish my bottle didnt turn 🤕
Great video very informative. Can anyone let me know what discounters are the most legit? Has anyone had any experience with Jomashop? Thanks for all your input
I have personally never used Jomashop but I hear they are legit
I usually use fragrancebuy.ca
Thoughts on Viking Cologne?
Aweful
It is awesome. If you like the original viking. Viking cologne is more fresh and more on the citrus side
So is Vanisia better then Shalimar then since you said they use highest quality ingredients?
alsoI think I found a bottle of vintage Shalimar EDT online for a very low price. is the the EDT the one to get? the bottle doesn't look like your though so hoping there's no issue with it.
Any version of Shalimar is the one to get... Shalimar might be the most iconic fragrance of all time to me personally... in my top 100 it beat out Vanisia but they are both amazing 😊
@@RamseytheRam Good to hear that most likely it hasn't been reformulated even in the current version. I saw an extrait version on the gurlain website for like $350 as we'll have you tried that one? and last question is are you ever worried buying and older bottle might mean buying a turnt or bad fragrance? or does Shalimar just get better with age due to the type of Fragrance it is?
Yes buying older fragrances have the risk of buying something that has turned that is just a risk of buying vintage frags .. although i have only had 3 frags arrived turned.. Two of them were creeds and the other was Obsession for women
I appreciate the nuanced take. The problem with brands like this is that it's so hard to discuss their output without taking into account their unacceptable behavior - like Kanye West. A few years ago I got a bottle of Virgin Island Water from Max Aroma for $130. I was like, it smells good...whatever. Wore it probably 10 times because it was a little too boring, and last month I sold it for $250, and I got 8 messages in 15 minutes after I posted it. People are out of their minds.
Yeah people are out of their minds indeed!
That should tell you something that Creed is a good investment
Omg Ramsey. You also watch rich mitch 😂😂😂 I wish I could double subscribe cause of that 😂
Me and Rich are great friends... I have livestreams with Rich Mitch... just go to my livestream playlist and you will find them... probably 20 hours or so of me and Rich kicking the shit on vintage perfume🐏🦆
@@RamseytheRam I’m def going to do that. You both are def my favourite perfume RUclipsrs. Yh I’m going to binge them all at work
Viking cologne is awesome!
I hate viking cologne lol
I do like the original Viking though and thought it got a bad rep in fragcomm in 2017 when it was launched
@Ramsey ohh for sure. The original is awesome, too. The cologne version has more of a fresh orange smell to it. Great video, though. You showed me different creeds I've never heard of! I own 14 creeds currently.
Thanks so much for watching & commenting Adam 🤌🤌🤌

I havent smelled that Aventus Absolu yet.... whats it like??
@@RamseytheRamit’s a more fruitier and spicier version of Aventus. It settles down like Aventus but with a bit more zing.
@@RamseytheRamhad I known you in 2017 , I would’ve shipped my bottle of Royal Oud to you which I used extremely sparingly and I absolutely hate. I had lot of other creeds in my possession too that I just threw it away like original santal, original vetiver. Hated those as well.
The fragrance that people compliment the most on me and are most intrigued with….writing it down when I tell them what it is….is Yin Transformation by the HARMONIST. Hands down.
I have a sample of that one! Will do a video on it soon 😊
@@RamseytheRam Great. There is an EdP and a Parfum. My comment was about the Parfum.
Ok I dont remember which one the sample is 🤔
Maybe the EDP but I will have to check 🙃
@@RamseytheRam ok. They are different formulas.
Thanks so much for the info 🍻
Here's on take on the Creeds, of the ones I've smelled:
Virgin Island Water - agree that it's overpriced, essentially high quality suntan lotion scent profile. A 2.5mL decant to use up every once in a summer isn't too bad on the wallet, though.
Original Santal - "original" my a$$. This is Mont Blanc Individuel, massively overpriced. (I've never smelled Joop so I can't compare)
Silver Mountain Water - Good, but feminine to my nose.
Millesime Imperial - I have a decant from 2010 that hasn't turned, the salty melon note is very well done, but doesn't come across as a fragrance to me, but rather the world's best room spray.
Erolfa - Reformulations stripped this down into a competently done, but boring aquatic. It needs the complexity of the earlier Creed era to be interesting.
Original Vetiver - again, "original" my a$$. I have Mugler Cologne and like its neroli note better.
Viking - I hated this on paper and on skin when I tried it. Could never get into it.
Green Irish Tweed - best drydown of any fragrance. Great lemon verbena!
Aventus - I wore this a TON in '15-'18, then got bored. Reformulations stripped the birch tar, and even some pineapple nowadays. Those 2010 bottles were truly something else. Glad the real perfumerer is getting credited now.
Royal Oud - great cedar fragrance, terrible name. It's not an oud fragrance. Very business-like, serious fragrance.
Very fair assessment indeed... although I prefer original vetiver to Mugler cologne & I love the original viking... its a house that doesnt inspire confidence anymore 🤕
Great comment mate.
Please share the link to your 🧢
Its a hat from zerohedge 😊
@@RamseytheRam thanks bro!
Anytime 🤌🤌🤌
You'll like this.... probably your favourite from me.
Creed! I have nothing to say!!
Ditto for Parfum de Marly. 😂
However.......🤣 Your scent of the day (Diaghilev, a love of mine too) inspires me to suggest you delve into different versions of Shalimar (as your currently hitting on that), also versions of Mitsouko and Femme. To my nose they are all humming the same tune even moreso in EDC.
Ohhhh EDC Shalimar is actually something I dont have 🤔
@@RamseytheRam Actually I was just commenting on you DTB video and lost connection and comment.... currently on a beach in the Pacific. I'll try again, there's some Shalimar in there too.
I agree 100 percent! Mancera pure synthetic garbage! The hype of Instant Crush- Oh it’s like Bac Rouge ! No it is not even close.
Ugh hate them both tbh lol
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
