    That Ralphs Club release will be worth picking up. Not at retail of course. Never pay retail people.

    • @AshenExiled
      @AshenExiled Месяц назад +7

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Creed has become so boring. They don’t even try anymore everything is some BS cash grab take on Aventus for Aventus fan boys.

    Perfumes do get aged and they are copying Amouage who mature their fragrances 3 times more than other which costs lots of money. Ali from London uk

    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

      Silver Mountain Water and Aventus Cologne are 10/10. I can get them for less than half of retail price too.
