Paying retail is supporting price gouging at this point. In most cases retail is 60-100% more expensive than buying online. So this is probably the most important advice. Especially if you decide to resell your fragrance down the line.
The Centaurus smells VERY similar to/ in the vain of Grand Soir. It's absolutely amber forward, and is not what you would expect, looking at the notes.
9:45 I had the classic Emporio He in early 2010s and two months ago I got that simplified, new version. The classic would last days on clothes (GF said that after hugging me, she'd smell those on her scarf for more than a month) and had amazing projection while smelling amazingly - probably the most complimented in my case, more than Stronger With You (though it's a tough competitor). I don't know what happened but I think I wasted 55€ having bought that new one - it's a complete dud. You spray it 5 or more times, smell some yuzu for 2-5min and there's nothing after that. No depth, no lasting freshness, no sweetness, literally nothing. I can't return it, so I can hope they get somehow better as the time goes but I can hardly imagine that. No more nostalgia buying, gotta go somewhere and smell them personally before ordering but I would love to hear that 2024 version really smells like the classic.
I’ve tried Centaurus, based on what we know about Delphinus so far it seems like Creed is shifting over to being more like Parfums de Marly, and I am NOT here for it.
When items is sold as collectors edition, it does not magically become a collector edition. Many times it becomes the exact opposite, and worth nothing.
I had that Emporio Armani 1998 it was ok, to be fair that was before I knew about niche fragrances, I was only 18 so my experience was limited at the time.
just got Ralph's Club edt in yesterday. i still have the parfum and elixir... but the edt is my personal favorite. perfect for Summer. the elixir was too heavy for heat for me, and i prefer the edp for cooler weather and evenings. the edt is definitely the most versatile for sure, can easily wear it all year round. it's basically just a lite, less sweet, super fresh version of the parfum. surprisingly, it doesn't feel redundant to own the edt if you have others in the line. not a groundbreaking scent but it smells amazing and i see myself reaching for this one the most. i got around 4 hours longevity, with pretty solid projection for the first 2.
The Creed Triple aged is only a cash grab. In fact, when I purchased the latest Creed releases, I asked what is the new Aventus TA about? the retailer questioned there suppliers how can we sell this new Aventus when there are no real differences. The supplier responded, well, that’s why you work in this boutique. You need to find away.
@@jeffee1933 I did buy the original last year, it was my wedding day scent. Each batch is macerated for 3 months at a time before they release it. The triple age batches were one of the first ones made. I talked to a Creed store manager in Italy last month about this upcoming release
@@jeffee1933 But I do have both a decant and bottle of the triple aged batch now. There is a slight difference. It’s a little creamy, smoother, and lasts on my skin longer, so far from testing

Picked up a bottle of triple aged Absolu Aventus for $330🫠 Planning on vaulting it as the original Absolu was my wedding day scent. I tried a decant of it and there is some difference. Maybe a cash grab but still a small difference between the original. More refined, creamier, and longer lasting.
Wearing Ralph's Club EDT today. It's light, airy, amberwoods. Basically everything you smell at Sephora but lighter. I've worn it for two days in a row and performance seems 4-6 hours max. Nothing new and an odd release choice.
What is Erwin Creed thinking about?! I mean if it's the same fragrance, then what's the point of renaming it? Sometimes I don't get what people are thinking 🤷🤦
Just thinking about it and ralph's club is often compared to the Y line, and now polo 67 is compared to MYSLF. Is ralph lauren just a YSL clone house now ☠️
Creed cash grabbing technique, triple aged BS last batch that they couldn’t sell retail so they put a sticker on it and then available on discounters 🤣🤣 why wouldn’t they sell it on their website they played ya
@@brickcity_bori4591 It doesn’t officially come out until October. I got a decant and bottle and there is a small difference in scent and performance. Cash grab, maybe, but there is a definite difference you can pick up right away.
I have 2 bottles of Absolu Aventus. No way I'm paying out for some "triple aged" version. I loved Absolu, and since it was touted as limited I quick snatched up another.
Absolu was my wedding day scent. I got a decant of triple aged and then bought a bottle. There is a definite small difference. It’s smoother, creamier, and longer lasting. Enough of a difference that I bought the triple aged. Definitely a more refined version
Just a thought.. more optically - I think a MacBook Pro would present better onscreen aesthetically - goes with the RUclips subscriber plaque and the colour aesthetic you're going for.
I hope that if creed goes the designer mass appeal route that they at least continue to keep their identity/ DNA within the scents. If they can keep it from smelling teenager-ish I’m in.
I don't mean to atack you Ash, not at all, but if the new Aventus is an obvious cashgrab...which it is...why support them by buying the product? Just get a sample and make a video from there and see if its worth checking out or not. I know sample reviews aren't your thing but im not sure us viewers would mind it. I might be wrong here tho and i realise that you buying a bottle comes across more authentic then reviewing off a sample but still...
Definitely a cash grab again!! I wish people would stop buying Creed fragrances so they might realise they're ripping people off with poor performance and over priced frags, I know I'm kidding my self but here's hoping
That Ralphs Club release will be worth picking up. Not at retail of course. Never pay retail people.
Paying retail is supporting price gouging at this point. In most cases retail is 60-100% more expensive than buying online. So this is probably the most important advice. Especially if you decide to resell your fragrance down the line.
Where's the best place to buy ?
seriously i’m actually interested and im almost never for any ralph lauren
genuine question, where would you buy it for below retail??
Triple aged Aventus, it’s the one the astronauts wear
😂😂😂
Creed: We need an elixir flanker without naming it elixir
Their bottle maker: say no more
Buy absolu wear it five times and let it sit for 6 months and boom you have the triple aged one
I agree. That's exactly what I did after buying a bottle last November. It's beginning to develop into a deeper and longer lasting scent.
11:00 Aventus segment!
Dang, I feel like Tom Ford has been releasing so many fragrances this year!
There’s a few coming this autumn and a superb private blend banger coming to signature line
Please Ash!!! Do a “Top 10 Fragrances I should be wearing to my Zoom Meeting” thanks 🙏

Honestly most excited for Ralph's Club. The line works really well for me and the price is sadly refreshing.
Creed isn't gonna just let these clones win w/out a few cash grabs of their own first
Ralph EDP was ❤ at first sniff …
Sooooooo basic
@@Cooliewhistles works well for me. I’m not a fan of complex opulent scents. 🤷♂️

@@MrHutto1 debatable… for me personally LV immagination is not worth MSRP … great smell but only
Lasts 3 hours on me
Yeah I love my Ralph’s Club EDP. I got mine at Ulta and it came with a Ralph Lauren duffle bag
I still think that a top 10 vetiver/barbershop/weird notes fragrances would be more than welcome.
I remember having Armani City Glam years ago. It came in the same type of bottle.
Black Lacquer sounds very different and interesting. Really looking forwards to trying it out. Bottle would look sick on the shelf too.
One of my most complemented fragrance back in the day was “Emporio Armani City Glam”. It looked like the “He” bottle.
The Centaurus smells VERY similar to/ in the vain of Grand Soir. It's absolutely amber forward, and is not what you would expect, looking at the notes.
So you've already smelled it? I thought it hasn't been released yet

That transition with dust, dandruff, and cat hair is AWESOME.
Some intriguing releases too!
That TF looks like something Beaufort London would come out with.
Lui is italian for He, on the original box or foil packaging I should say, it has the name in various languages all across.

Thierry mugler new perfume is very well priced. Under $100
Looking forward to hearing the verdict on Ralph's Club EDT !
I wish they would have done that with the new Viktor & Rolf , just stopped anyone from buying it
"Tripple aged" is just a marketing term, IMHO...
They are clearly looking for something different and beyond the hugely successful "Elixir"...
Bring back Mania!
I AGREE!!!!!!!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I can't wait to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I like Hugo boss reversed as a fragrance, I don't know about this 2024 release though, I'll give it a shot but we'll see

The Hugo Reverse is what I’m the most interested in 😮💨
Im really interested in the new Roja Aoud Extraordinaire
Super excited for the HUGO boss reversed
Get the new manceras yet?
The triple aged absolu is basically same as the original but no citrus and smoothed out.
There is still citrus. Same note breakdown. It’s longer lasting, smoother, and creamier. I pick up a little more spice
@@ajgunarimine don’t seem to last that long
@@joemommaganja It definitely lasts longer than the original one I have. Maybe just bad skin chemistry
@@ajgunari maybe i’m going nose blind to it

Absolu Aventus was released last year but somehow they’ve triple aged it. Story checks out

Update. This fragrance is super versatile and I love the scent. However it doesn't last very long, which is to be expected from an EDT. But I love it.
Could you make a video of every Creed alternative or clone thanks
I really enjoy the OG Emporio Armani.

Any Eau de toilette perfumes is something I steer away from, doesn’t last for more than 1-4 hours on my skin.
