Creed have launched another version of Creed Aventus called Creed Aventus Cologne... totally different nodes and category... if possible please do a video on that
Ordered the book after I saw your discussion with Gabe Oppenheim. It tells a completely different story compared to the Creed book I got for free with my order from Creed. Knowing the truth behind Creed’s fragrances makes them even better in my opinion. Erwin and Olivier Creed are brilliant businessmen - they had the best perfumers create some stunning fragrances, took credit for them, and later sold the business for around a billion to BlackRock.
Provenzano's Matar for Spirit of Kings still my favourite iteration of the scent. Quite possible that the signature musk is also used in Spice and Wood. Combined with the birch, it's probably the best smelling woody accord I've ever experienced. Need to have a good dollop of it though. Perhaps BlackRock could favour us with a Spice and Wood Intense? For 1/3 of the price? 😄 Gooood luck.
You would have to think that before an investment companies spent upwards of 200 million they wouldn’t of done a little bit of research, at this point does it even really matter to the bottom line we might care but it won’t stop people from buying the fragrance. The best thing creed could do now is make something new with nuclear performance to really bring the shine back to creed.
The next subject could be why is there such inconsistencies between Bottles, if the creeds are not the perfumers couldn’t stand to reason they are not the manufacturer either And they are doing something Akin to just contracting out each run, I mean what else could account for such variation
I've always described Royal Water as being like the sexiest, dirtiest lemon soap, especially in older bottles. That "new musk" must be the mystery thing that's giving it that quality because it's not a feeling I get from many perfumes outside of Creed. I refer to Royal Water because it is such a clean and simple fragrance that there aren't that many places you can hide or conversely, showcase but there is definitely something "extra" in it.
Hi MrSmelly1977, thank you for sharing! I don't think the brand owners have to be the perfumers themselves. They can add value by providing the means for the creations and choosing the best compositions. That was the case with Chanel No.5. They don't have to be dead butterflies. The problem comes with the "unnecessary" lies.
I cringe when I hear fragrance reviewers stating that a fragrance will get you compliments. The only complaint I care about is my own. There isn't a better compliment than to walk outside, and have the breeze blow your fragrance into your nose after you thought that you no longer smelled like anything.
Well, I guess my theory I posted a couple weeks ago was correct and it was indeed Herault, ha! Do I win the steak knives or the toaster? Well done again Dan!
It took me a couple of years into the hobby to pull the trigger on Aventus. Wish I hadn't bothered. Sold it on as literally couldn't smell it. I now have CDNIM EDP as well as Cedrat Boise to itch that scratch. I would LOVE to have a decent bottle of Aventus, but cannot be arsed with all the best batch research which is necessary (and shouldn't be) in order to obtain what I see as the 'real thing'. I smelled a sample of a couple of years ago and it was great, but the full bottle I ended up buying was water... Shame really.
The recipe for Creed Aventus was given to the Holy Prophet Muhammad in Mecca in the late 6th Century by the angel Jibreel, when Mecca was a huge thriving metropolis with a large industrial perfume-making capacity and alchemical laboratories (along with lots of expensive ink and paper which was very VERY expensive back in those days). It was diluted with pure clean fresh water (which is very necessary for thriving metropolises, as you know, and which there was a lot of back then in Mecca which had flourishing vegetable farms and lots of trees to feed the many thousands who were there using the fragrances that Muhammad sold to everyone and became very wealthy as the result of, in fact more or less conquering much of the world with soon afterwards). Most of the ingredients for the original Creed came from Mecca - including the pineapple which was very plentiful there on account of the many pineapple farms and the plentiful water and advanced reticulation systems. Even the actual letters of the word 'CREED' were sourced right there from Mecca - except for the final letter, the letter 'D;' which came from Yemen after a stone fell down from the sky in Turkey (which is not a hundred million miles from Mecca, but you don't need to really know about that, because, well, 'creed' - means believe, not actually 'know'). This information is authentic and comes from the authentic hadiths of Al Jeremi Al Fragranzi (aka 'AJAF').
The fact that creed gave permission for credit to aventus by another perfumer says a lot. Maybe olivier creed does not have talent at all and aventus was made by a real artist. No wonder creed sold the company. No real talent from creed in this new generation
I heard Winston Churchill wore Tabarome and JFK wore Original Vetiver. Also Cary Grant had Green Irish Tweed before it was even available to the public.
@@winnienguyen4420 tabarome was INSPIRED BY CHURCHILL, he couldn’t have worn it, it was released after he died, at least according to what is trackable. The oldest creed bottle found was from around 1970-1980 and it was not a „vintage tabarome“ which creed claims to be released in 1875. the current tabarome, which is a trackable fragrance was released 2000. we all know that the creed version of the story is bs by now. Creed fragrances are brilliant because they have a lot of money = good perfumers + expensive ingredients and that’s all that is to it. I love creed for what they do, not for what they claim to have done. Also a fun fact, it’s kind of ironic that old creed fragrances have never been sold in vaporizer bottles but only in big 250 or 500 ml splash bottles which you had to fill into their atomizers. It’s obviously a shtick to make us believe they are ancient, vintage and oldschool or something but in reality it’s just another method to hide the fact that there are no old creed bottles aside from those very splash bottles i was talking about what so ever.
The logical mistake everyone makes here is that Pierre Bourdon is the real deal and Olivier Creed just used his talent. However, Pierre never made anything comparable to GIT or Aventus in his entire career (mostly designer stuff) with the most notable creation on the niche side coming from Malle's French Lover (far from Creed's big hitters). While Creed keeps on making niche bangers, the two brilliant perfumers never had another big break in the niche game... Hmmm?
Yes u have to be an embisil to not say Creed smells good but it is not worth the price I had a girlfriend who brought me a big bottle for 250 bucks..I asked her politely to take it back n get me a few bottles of other great brands so I say to the creator of Creed n several other great fragrances u are charging way way to much for your product..💯
Creed aventus has been ruined by creed now…what was once a masterpiece has been reformulated an watered down to the point were it is at least 50 percent as good as it used to be… I’ve had many bottles an the last 4 years bottles have been terrible… creed should never have done that it totally ruined it ….

I heard Genghis Khan's secret burial tomb was sprayed with Original Santal. *Top 10 scents to wear at a warlord's funeral.*

Thank you! I also love Creed fragrances and am wearing them more often since I got the book.
Fascinating stuff…thanks Dan.
Thanks a lot Justin!
It was incredible nice & long lasting when they used good amounts of natural oils as they claim..without reformulation.
the guy who didnt get payed should release the aventus formula for free online
There is a thing called NDA.
A breath of fresh air, mate. Keep it up!
Who cares? How about compliments?

Thx bro for all your amazing content…
That intro was hilarious hehe..Fantastic video as always
Thank you!
Great video Sir
Already order a copy yesterday, thank you
Very interested in this discussion as a fan of the house it will be something to hear I’m sure.
amazing information.
Canali Men (2005) is a fragrance I have a soft spot for. Anyone have any information on its history or formulation? The info on its pineapple helps.
Pulling compliments like a BOSS
im forever grateful for Pierre Bourdon. But im also glad Creed has a signature smell, that i love so much
Me too!
Lol, the beginning is funny as hell man!
Wait. Isn't Michel Almairac the perfumer of Joop?
Just ordered the book as a gift to myself!😂
No wonder they sold the company. They were about to get exposed.

Fascinating
Excellent

I bought creed aventus but it lacks only one element which is longevity,if that can be fixed,we will be having the most unbelievable fragrance
Sorry t have missed the stream Dan, I was eating my evening meal and thought you’d still be rolling at midnight 😁
Thanks Lord C!
@@MrSmelly1977 Of course, as you know, I caught the stream for George and Cuddles soon after this comment!

I must 'compliment' you on the intro 😝
Thank you!
Exactly my take, the books kinda wrote with the angle of a bitter, jealous obsessor.
How on earth did Cary Grant wear GIT if it was released in 1985 and Grant passed away a year later in '86?
He wore it to his funeral.
He wore it for a year then. Allegedly.
I would love to read the book but shipping costs are terrible. Please tell Gabe to make it available for eReaders, thanks! :)
I got the kindle version. Certainly a page turner for a fraghead.
Well, I guess my theory I posted a couple weeks ago was correct and it was indeed Herault, ha! Do I win the steak knives or the toaster?
Well done again Dan!

Wearing t-rex in 100 degree heat.... Compliments
Bahahahahaha. On a serious note: Mix Trex with Aventus. ❤❤❤❤
LMAO! I know Ash will laugh too. Well dome Dear Leader!
Promo code??
I am impatient
Thanks for having the balls to at least talk about this book.
Thank you. I think others are afraid to mention it on their channels. Disappointing,
That's why all the clones can't do it they can't use the musk makes sense.
The term dinosaur didn’t exist before the 1800’s

To me it smells like stale cigarette smoke. So I never got the hype.
If you show faces of persons you talk about, please display their name.
Canali dal 1934 is a masterpiece
There's nothing more cringe & creepy than hearing grown men with straight faces talk about "compliments", that's 15 year old girl talk imo smh

One of a few perfume reviewers that is actually funny. The only one that is on my mind right now is Jeremy Fragrance, but please don't go there 🤣
The new aventus just don’t last !!! Love the smell of it but it only last 3 to 4 hours very unhappy

So was Creed around in the sixties or not? Was it just bs that movie stars and celebrities wore Creed back then? 🤔
I heard Winston Churchill wore Tabarome and JFK wore Original Vetiver. Also Cary Grant had Green Irish Tweed before it was even available to the public.
Ah the swingin' sixties! I heard Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack were passing around the Bois du Portugal like a young Angie Dickinson.

Mmm Fragrantica shows Cool Waters which GIT seems to be a refined version that was released later.
Same for MB Individuel - Creed original Santal
