Really nice list man. Am planning to add MI and Vetiver to my collection. I'm going to skip Erolfa, but definitely get why you do like it. Irish Tweed is second to none.
for a couple of samples. I did that this week, and they are sending me GIT and Aventus. Can't wait to try out MI though! Greg, love your vids mate, it's very apparent that you know your stuff. Fellow Englishman living out here in San Diego, CA
27, started getting into creed around age 24, my first 3 were bois du portugal, royal english leather and virgin island water. I do adore the classic masculine scents but sadly many are gone now. I went to to the UK once, London actually.
Very nice line up. U know I love this house. Thanks for the video. You have a nice creed collection. I'm sure you have tried it, but please try Spice and Wood and I think you will put it in your # 1 spot. It is mine. Again awesome vid my friend.
I've heard so much about the creed fragrance. Based on your collection and review I'm gonna get me a bottle. Btw what would u recommend for 24 yo male to wear?
Awesome! I'm still enjoying last night's Green Irish Tweed the next morning. Smells great from the bottle, but even more so once blended with my own skin and oils. Just an amazing scent that has grown to become my favorite. I've only tried Tabarome Millesime, Silver Mountain Water, Himalaya, Royal Mayfair, Millesime Imperial, and Green Irish Tweed and like them all to some degree, but Green Irish Tweed is just a bit more amazing. Glad to see it top your list as well. I'll have to check out all of these you reviewed. Well done.
I have sampled aventus, nice scent not sure if I want to throw down 330 for it. I love viw and own it but it does not last on my skin, original vetiver is very nice and so is git. Great list. Love the vid. Greetings from murica
Thanks Allen. At the start they are very similar, but after about an hour OV turns towards Vetiver, where MC stays very Linear (i.e Green, clean soapy) I probably prefer MC at the moment (I keep changing my mind)
I own these creeds and his is my list Im ranking then by best smell to me 7) Imperial Millesime - I think its good but not great, Its a bit light 6) Silver Mountain- Good stuff when Im in the mood for it , I can smell green tea , Unique scent , Unisex smell, 5) Irish Tweed- Great stuff- Just not crazy about it, Ive smelled similar scents to i before 4) Erolfa- Very nice scent, Has this cooling effect when I wear it. very sweet, 3) Aventus- This is my heavy hitter, Smells fantastic, I just don thinks its appropriate for every situation 2) Royal OUD- Classy- calming/relaxing- really unique- Think of a authority figure when smelling it Just too expensive to make a signaure scent 1) Original VETIVER- Smells so good. It smells like fresh grass, clean, Really clean Its easy on he nose so you dont over power the room, Is very work appropriate, It leaves a very classy impression. I've also tried Bois du Portugal which I will be buying next. I have yet to smell Virgin Island water. Royal water and Pure white cologne which I plan on doing soon
Well I forgot to thank you for your great review. your review helped me decided on buying a few of them, Erofla and original Vetiver , And how to pronounce them. What do you think of Royal OUD?
You're more than welcome mate, glad you are happy with what you have. Royal Oud has been a 'Grower' for me....didn't like it for the longest time, but now have started to appreciate it. Not in my top 5 Creed's or anything, but a really good frag.
Great video !!!! I'm just getting into creed and have some samples on the way I've been watching all the creed videos to try to get a feel for all the different scents . Thanks for all the great info !!!!
Thank-you for sharing this info,,,, very helpful. Ive purchased two Creed fragrances previously, but will check out all your recommendations. I think when i brought my last aftershave, i remember saying i must try the Irish tweed next.
I absolutely love Millisime Imperial, but it doesn't last on my skin. After about three hours it becomes a skin scent and is completely gone in five hours. However, Aventus stays with me for over 24 hours! Thankfully, it's my favorite! Royal Oud is making it's way to second place lately.
I enjoyed your running commentary on this list of fragrances for men that all totaled, costs a fortune! I just discovered the CREED label today, and now I know a lot more. I love fragrances and I find few actually use it out here. One of MY personal favorites, the one I get most compliments on is TSAR by Van Cleef & Arpels. I know, it is a very reasonable one, but I do love it. The other favorite is Arden Sandalwood... it is strong and very real. Another is Terra by Hermes. All of these are unique winners I NEVER smell on anyone anywhere else. Jim in Palm Springs CA USA.
+Jamesjajohn In terms of performance, Original Santal ois always the on ethat springs to mind, but I don't particularly like it and you can get Mont Blanc Individuel for next to nothing and it smells 95% the same. I don't rally have a Creed Autumn Winter frag as such, but I will wear GIT, Aventus, Royal Oud ,Bois du Portugal and Spice and Wood a lot.
+Greggieboy76 thanks, where do you buy your Creeds from. I'm new to all this but G.I.T and Aventus just blew me away. They really are amazing, I'm going to check out the rest of the range. Thanks
Very interesting and thoughtful reviews- congrats! This summer I became a VIW addict. It is true that it is very long lasting- I'm talking nearly 24 hrs... A bargain at any price. While it is strong, I didn't feel that it carried far from me (ie. overpowering the room). It is also very complex in the middle notes. What really did it for me is a faint barely noticeable touch of tar in the scent- something I've always picked up when visiting the tropics and inhaling the sea breezes. Very unique, quality stuff and you don't need a lot of it.
I've decided to add some more luxurious fragrances to my collection of 40 some different bottles. I recently purchased Millesime Imperial and I find that fragrance so very intoxicating, but I does not last past 3 to 4 hours. I'm not sorry that I bought it, just have to spray 4 or 5 times. My next Creed purchase will be either Silver Mountain Water or Aventus. Silver Mountain Water was my first choice but cost more than I wanted to spend at that particular time. Great review
Im just getting into creed myself...trying to find out what should be my 1st selection. I normally dont like colognes with any citrus notes but i tried a couple from Creed and loved them. I have been leaning towards silver mountain water...it seems a lil more youthful. Any suggestion for a 1st timer?
For some reason I still haven't learn to love Green Irish Tweed. Perhaps I should let it stay on my skin for a couple of hours, then judge. Of the Creeds I have smelled my favorites are (not counting the expensive limited editions such as Spice and Wood):1: Aventus - Simply unique and gets the ladies head turning. It's my signature fragrance. And so masculine.2: Royal Oud - Perfect for evenings going out. Warm, oriental, spicy.3: Bois du Portugal - I'm only in my mid thirties, but I just love and adore the masculine, spicy "old gentleman" scent of this one. So underrated.4: Millesime Imperial - Great versatility fragrance. Can be at different times for different occasions.5: Silver Mountain Water - A bit feminine, but still very original, very pleasant, very fresh.Honorable mentions: Original Vetiver, Santal.Haven't had the chance to smell Royal Mayfair, Tabarome or Erolfa. Virgin Island Water was not to my taste, and as mentioned before, I haven't really gotten used to GIT.
+henrik kjoller Thanks for posting Henrik, you have good taste :-) GIT took me a long time to love actually, but when I started to love it, I realized how amazing it is!
+Greggieboy76 Thank you very much Gregg, your taste is good as well. I'm trying to find GIT 30 ml for a discount price, which also ships to Sweden. Kinda hard. I have however found GIT 75 ml for 140,99 euros, shipping included. You think this I a good price? I might give it a try then Keep up the good work, love what you are doing!
Im half way thru my Aventus bottle! I just ordered GIT and expect to use it a lot this Fall. This will be my 3rd creed in my collection. The other is MI. Instead of picking up another Aventus bottle for $220 I opted for GIT for $138. Wasn’t a hard decision at all. This Spring I’ll add VIW and Himalaya. My Aventus alternative is Insurrection Pure 2 which is half way full and soon as it hits a ¼ I’ll get another bottle.
Red Salmon All good choices. I haven't tried Insurrection yet, but I have Aventus, so I'm not too worried about getting my nose on it. VIW is my fave Creed right now!
I guess a lot depends on one's opinion...believe me I agree when he says that The Green Irish Tweed has to be no. 1.....people recognised my Aventus but they absolutely LOVE it when I wear GIT...a fragrance I will never be rid off...my all time top perfume
Today I bought green irish tweed and silver mntn water. Didnt care for silver mntn water. Too mature for me. I was really impressed with green irish tweed. I love it. I was curious if Creed lived up to the price and rep. It did. Very worth the money
Between Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water, which one would you recommend? I have never own a Creed before. Which is the most recommended to get initiated?
My top 5 would be 1. Tabarome 2. Millesime Imperial 3. Silver Mountain Water 4. Green Irish Tweed 5. Royal Oud But I love so many of them. Erolfa, Royal Water Bois du Portugal, Aventus, Himalaya, Vetiver, Santal, Virgin Island Water. I'll have them all some day. I'd love for them to fix the olfactory issue though. Erolfa sillage and projection does next to nothing on my skin as far as I can tell.
My Top 5 Creed Parfums: 1) Aventus.....So unique and a great scent. 2) Imperial Millesime .....Wifey loves it on me, so I love it too. 3) Jardin D'Amalfi.....A Very High Quality life-like scent....At first sniff I initially thought it would be too feminine for me, but after smelling how amazing it was on Wifey, I now appreciate just how excellent it is for me or anyone....Beautiful. 4) Spice and Wood.....For the price I have to make it a favourite...A wonderful scent in any regard though. 5) Royal Oud.....There's just something very compelling about this spicy/sweet scent to my nose and it lasts a very long time on my skin......I also admire and love the following sentiment someone wrote in their review on Fragrantica: "On the Day of Judgement -- I will present to The Lord ~ Creed's Royal Oud." Nuff said! Honourable Mentions: Silver Mountain Water layered with Imperial Millesime = Fantastic! Aventus for Her.....It was great to my nose on Wifey, but she felt it had too much Patchouli. I use it now and It is a Beast. Cheers
I just just subscribed to your channel!!! I'm so impressed thus far by your first video. I don't know what it is about you Brits that when you speak you command such respect?!?!?! Accent??? (Wink wink)... Anyways here is my TOP 5 all the way from Canada... 1. Neroli Sauvage 2. Green Irish Tweed 3. Jardin D'amalfi 4. Original Vetiver 5 Original Santal :)
Oh, and another, which I think is perfect for men is Christian Dior DUNNE, it is out of production, but a spicy floral scent with heavy green that I love. It is unlike any other I have smelled. This is a women's fragrance.
My favs and top 4: 1) Aventus; 2) Silver Mountain Water; 3) Green Irish Tweed 4) Himalaya ... Fun facts: George Clooney and Richard Gere (among others) wear Green Irish Tweed. Michael Jordan loves Himalaya. And Jay Z wears Millesime Imperial.
Also meant to ask, does GIT smell like Cool Water to you? I was thinking about purchasing it because of all the hype, but I got tired of cool water by the time I was about 14.
love GIT! It will most likely be my wedding day scent coming up this June 2014. I got recommendation to try Amouage Reflection Man before making a final decision. GIT is truly a gentleman's scent
I'm a G.I.T fan all the way but since the release of Royal Oud it's been a big toss up to which one is the king in my opinion. I get more compliments wearing Royal Oud than G.I.T. but G.I.T never fails and is a massive ladykiller too ( as long as they don't think you are wearing Cool Water!)😁😁😁
Hi, I'm from Indonesia and gonna buy creed fragrance. Which do you prefer, Aventus or GIT? The others are just not fit on me. Thanks! Sorry for my English :D
+Greggieboy76 I once had GIT and Aventus sample vial, and GIT had better projection than Aventus. I don't know if it was by accident or not, but GIT had better projection on me when I wore it. What do you think? Sorry for asking you a lot :D
GIT and Erolfa are nice. But my favourit scent is Bois du Portugale, which is an awesome - while underrated - everyday fragrance, for men >30. Never got the Aventus hype. It's a nice sent, a crowd-pleaser, but way too mainstream for my taste. :)
If Aventus didn't make it 2013, it has no chance these years. The batch variation paired with ONLY aventus going up and up in price... is pretty obvious Creed is taking advantage of it. Why does Aventus cost more than any other Creed? Great video, would love to have an updated video from you for them. I am looking to get 3 Creed, but I have no place to sample as I live in South America. I want to blind buy for collecting purposes, but I know Aventus won't be one.
I only discovered creed at the end of 2015! I ever knew such great colognes existed . I owned some other great colognes like Prada sport. Christian Dior Sauvage as of late and countless others over the years. But creed is simply in a class by itself. Its not just a fragrance its a cred, Th smell is so unique, so natural and even inspiring. I love his collection and intend to get more, On my next post Ill post my top 5, I bough a few
I am thinking about either buying Virgin Island Water or Tom Ford Oud Wood I can only buy one for my collection which out of these would be the better quality fragrance differences in scent aside which one would be the best one to buy if you had to pick one thanks for any help guys.
When the silver mountain water dries down, I get the most pukey musk scent on my skin, I absolutely hate this stuff. Aventus is still noticable after I take a shower, stays on my skin beautifully. By the way, great videos fro across the pond.
+Greggieboy76 Hey man I know this sounds weird but I'm 14 years old and my dad and I have been saving up for a creed fragrance I love green Irish tweed but I don't know if it's too out of my age group.
eastlake93 I would. Royal Oud more so. But my idea of masculine could be completely different to yours. It's always best to sample before you buy, especially with something as expensive as Creed.
Great point. I will sample. I've been this blind buy kick recently, surprising myself, but with lower priced colognes. I will definitely sample Creed first. Thanks.
The TOP 5 are,... 5) Tied between Royal Water/Silver Mountain/Green Irish Tweed,... 4) Millesime Imperial,... 3) Original Vetiver,... 2) Aventus 1)Pure White Cologne
Have you tried the new acqua collection. I got the sample of them last month, not a fan of the new stuff apart from Cedre Blanc! Aberdeen Lavender, Asian Green Tea don't do it for me, vetiver geranium and iris tubereuse are average also. I'd have had Original Santal in the top 5, even though one time I was wearing it people asked if I was wearing joop!!
Can you recommend some discount sites where I can purchase more Creed fragrances. BTW, I love GIT,my wife likes it as well, but not as much as YSL La nuit of which I'm forced to wear lol.
What do you think of Bois Du Portugal? Also would you be willing to give me one of your creed scents? I cannot afford one and I've smelled lots of them and it's a dream to be able to have one. Please??
Creed have always been a mixed bag for me, CIT and Aventus are truly magnificent scents and i use more than any other, and amongst my favs ever. But Erolfa, Milesime Imperial and Vetiver have proved a disapointment, i guess they cant all be winners. However to be fair i havent tried the Spice&Wood nor the Virgin Island. But your spot on about Creed Irish Tweed, it's the best a man can get.
I've only got Aventus in the creed collection but have heard numerous times this is the best out of the creeds. I've heard Davidoff cool water was made to mimmick Green Irish Tweed I own and like Cool Water but wouldn't want to pay that type of money for that type of fragrance..
wesfrantic GIT and Cool Water are similar, GIT is far superior, but whether the difference justifies the price is a personal choice I guess. Thanks for watching!
I own aventus and looking for another creed fragrance for cold weather ...plz help me as someone who already owns them knows which creed works best in winter..plz recommend ..thanks
Original Santal probably works best for Cold days, but I don't actually like it and you can buy Mont Blanc Individuel for peanuts and it's 95% the same. Creed fragrances generally tend to me made for Warmer weather.
1st G.I.T. it's got the lot just wish the top notes lasted even longer because they're magical.2nd Royal Oud, very classy would be joint 1st if I got more than 5 hours longevity.3rd Aventis, resampled this after getting a fake, glad I did beautifully fresh and lasts.
Very nicely done! My favs are usually 5:neroli sauvage 4:erolfa 3:original vetiver 2:aventus 1:GIT
Really nice list man. Am planning to add MI and Vetiver to my collection. I'm going to skip Erolfa, but definitely get why you do like it. Irish Tweed is second to none.
Great list. Can't go wrong with any of these. Never smelled Erolfa but it sounds really nice. I think Royal Oud is my favorite Creed...at the moment.
for a couple of samples. I did that this week, and they are sending me GIT and Aventus. Can't wait to try out MI though! Greg, love your vids mate, it's very apparent that you know your stuff. Fellow Englishman living out here in San Diego, CA
27, started getting into creed around age 24, my first 3 were bois du portugal, royal english leather and virgin island water. I do adore the classic masculine scents but sadly many are gone now. I went to to the UK once, London actually.
Great video! Any concerns about Green Irish Tweed being so often compared to Cool Water? Does that in any way taint GIT for you?
Original vetiver from creed is very underrated
nice little creed collection you've got going on there mate :-) viw and aventus are among my favs.
Very nice line up. U know I love this house. Thanks for the video. You have a nice creed collection. I'm sure you have tried it, but please try Spice and Wood and I think you will put it in your # 1 spot. It is mine. Again awesome vid my friend.
Great vid my friend...question have you ever got a wif of creeds green valley? if so what do you think?
I just got Green Irish Tweed and I got so many compliments than I've ever got in my life, I promised.
+PrivateRhynes Nice :-)
I've heard so much about the creed fragrance. Based on your collection and review I'm gonna get me a bottle. Btw what would u recommend for 24 yo male to wear?
The true king "Green Irish Tweed"
Awesome! I'm still enjoying last night's Green Irish Tweed the next morning. Smells great from the bottle, but even more so once blended with my own skin and oils. Just an amazing scent that has grown to become my favorite. I've only tried Tabarome Millesime, Silver Mountain Water, Himalaya, Royal Mayfair, Millesime Imperial, and Green Irish Tweed and like them all to some degree, but Green Irish Tweed is just a bit more amazing. Glad to see it top your list as well. I'll have to check out all of these you reviewed. Well done.
Great list!
Woah! You commented on this video!
Great list here. Erolfa and OV getting some necessary props.
I have sampled aventus, nice scent not sure if I want to throw down 330 for it. I love viw and own it but it does not last on my skin, original vetiver is very nice and so is git. Great list. Love the vid. Greetings from murica
Great list man! mine are
5)Himalaya
4)Green Irish Tweed
3)Original Santal
2)Spice and wood
1)Millesime Imperial
my personal top 5 for now from creed are: vintage tabarome, vetiver 48, bois du portugal, green irish tweed and original vetiver
You're welcome Greg!!! I like a review that's informative, to the point and insightful... Please keep up the good work!!!
Great choices! I agree with the top two but I would put Aventus at 3 or perhaps tied with MI for second. Take care.
Cheers Charlie
Thanks for another great and informative video. How close to Original Vetiver is Mugler Cologne in your opinion. I've seen the to as similar.
Thanks Allen. At the start they are very similar, but after about an hour OV turns towards Vetiver, where MC stays very Linear (i.e Green, clean soapy) I probably prefer MC at the moment (I keep changing my mind)
Nice video. My top Creeds are 5) Original Vètiver 4) Virgin Island Water 3) Silver Mountain Water 2) Tabarome Millesime 1) Green Irish Tweed
I own these creeds and his is my list Im ranking then by best smell to me
7) Imperial Millesime - I think its good but not great, Its a bit light
6) Silver Mountain- Good stuff when Im in the mood for it , I can smell green tea , Unique scent , Unisex smell,
5) Irish Tweed- Great stuff- Just not crazy about it, Ive smelled similar scents to i before
4) Erolfa- Very nice scent, Has this cooling effect when I wear it. very sweet,
3) Aventus- This is my heavy hitter, Smells fantastic, I just don thinks its appropriate for every situation
2) Royal OUD- Classy- calming/relaxing- really unique- Think of a authority figure when smelling it Just too expensive to make a signaure scent
1) Original VETIVER- Smells so good. It smells like fresh grass, clean, Really clean Its easy on he nose so you dont over power the room, Is very work appropriate, It leaves a very classy impression.
I've also tried Bois du Portugal which I will be buying next.
I have yet to smell
Virgin Island water. Royal water and Pure white cologne which I plan on doing soon
+TysonFan911 Great post mate - thanks very much for sharing!! :-)
Well I forgot to thank you for your great review. your review helped me decided on buying a few of them, Erofla and original Vetiver , And how to pronounce them. What do you think of Royal OUD?
You're more than welcome mate, glad you are happy with what you have. Royal Oud has been a 'Grower' for me....didn't like it for the longest time, but now have started to appreciate it. Not in my top 5 Creed's or anything, but a really good frag.
Great video !!!! I'm just getting into creed and have some samples on the way I've been watching all the creed videos to try to get a feel for all the different scents . Thanks for all the great info !!!!
No probs mate - thanks for watching
Great list dude!
Thank-you for sharing this info,,,, very helpful. Ive purchased two Creed fragrances previously, but will check out all your recommendations. I think when i brought my last aftershave, i remember saying i must try the Irish tweed next.
Thanks for watching Nathan.
Bois De Portugal i wore at a wedding, felt perfect. Royal Oud wore to a nice italian steak house dinner..and that just smelled amazing!
I absolutely love Millisime Imperial, but it doesn't last on my skin. After about three hours it becomes a skin scent and is completely gone in five hours. However, Aventus stays with me for over 24 hours! Thankfully, it's my favorite! Royal Oud is making it's way to second place lately.
Spicy McHaggis Yeah MI doesn't perform on me either! :-(
I enjoyed your running commentary on this list of fragrances for men that all totaled, costs a fortune! I just discovered the CREED label today, and now I know a lot more. I love fragrances and I find few actually use it out here. One of MY personal favorites, the one I get most compliments on is TSAR by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Jim Britt Interesting stuff, thanks for watching and commenting.
Aventus last for 16 hours in my skin and pretty strong as well i smell it all the time it’s almost overpowering
What are the best Creed's for Autumn/Winter ? Great video, thanks.
+Jamesjajohn In terms of performance, Original Santal ois always the on ethat springs to mind, but I don't particularly like it and you can get Mont Blanc Individuel for next to nothing and it smells 95% the same. I don't rally have a Creed Autumn Winter frag as such, but I will wear GIT, Aventus, Royal Oud ,Bois du Portugal and Spice and Wood a lot.
+Greggieboy76 thanks, where do you buy your Creeds from. I'm new to all this but G.I.T and Aventus just blew me away. They really are amazing, I'm going to check out the rest of the range. Thanks

Great information on Creed!
I picked up a bottle of green.
& 24 gold.
Nice video what do you think about 24 gold?
Kind Regards
Shaun.
Very interesting and thoughtful reviews- congrats! This summer I became a VIW addict. It is true that it is very long lasting- I'm talking nearly 24 hrs... A bargain at any price. While it is strong, I didn't feel that it carried far from me (ie. overpowering the room). It is also very complex in the middle notes.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. The 2016 Creed video is currently being prepared :-)
Happy that Original Vetiver gets a nod in your list.
Yeah, great innit!

+Buttermilk2015 Nice choices. I need to do an update of this video I think. Thanks for watching!
nice to have a brit to review scents from this house for the climate - think ill go with what you say on that alone .
Thanks for watching.

I have been leaning towards silver mountain water...it seems a lil more youthful. Any suggestion for a 1st timer?
Great video btw. Subscribed
SMW is OK, but there are much better Creeds. Green Irish Tweed and Aventus, would probably be my suggestions for a beginner. Thanks for watching mate
Keep looking at your reviews, love them. I'm 16 creeds, and loads of tom fords now. Thanks for the reviews. keep it up.
Thanks so much Brian, glad you enjoy the videos.

what is the safest blind buy creed fragrance? i have no retailers that carry it or a creed boutique nearby.
Between Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water, which one would you recommend? I have never own a Creed before. Which is the most recommended to get initiated?
Leo Ashzen I would say Aventus mate
***** Thanks a lot.
well done very nice collection! keep it up!
Syed Mehroz Nizami Thank you !
looking forward for your new vdo :)
My top 5 would be 1. Tabarome 2. Millesime Imperial 3. Silver Mountain Water 4. Green Irish Tweed 5. Royal Oud But I love so many of them. Erolfa, Royal Water Bois du Portugal, Aventus, Himalaya, Vetiver, Santal, Virgin Island Water. I'll have them all some day. I'd love for them to fix the olfactory issue though. Erolfa sillage and projection does next to nothing on my skin as far as I can tell.
EROLFA is one of the better ones for me, but I agree and do have issues with performance on many!
My Top 5 Creed Parfums:
1) Aventus.....So unique and a great scent.
2) Imperial Millesime .....Wifey loves it on me, so I love it too.
3) Jardin D'Amalfi.....A Very High Quality life-like scent....At first sniff I initially thought it would be too feminine for me, but after smelling how amazing it was on Wifey, I now appreciate just how excellent it is for me or anyone....Beautiful.
4) Spice and Wood.....For the price I have to make it a favourite...A wonderful scent in any regard though.
5) Royal Oud.....There's just something very compelling about this spicy/sweet scent to my nose and it lasts a very long time on my skin......I also admire and love the following sentiment someone wrote in their review on Fragrantica: "On the Day of Judgement -- I will present to The Lord ~ Creed's Royal Oud." Nuff said!
Honourable Mentions:
Silver Mountain Water layered with Imperial Millesime = Fantastic!
Aventus for Her.....It was great to my nose on Wifey, but she felt it had too much Patchouli. I use it now and It is a Beast.
Cheers
Great post and great choices, thanks so much for sharing.
i agree with ur top 100%. you nailed it
Nice. Fyi, original Erolfa is super strong and has a beautiful sandalwood base. Three sprays would be over applying for me.
I wish I had a bottle of original
Hey Greg, this is one of my favorite videos of yours! Are you planning on an update? I'm curious if your ranking has changed.
Neo Xerxes Thanks mate, I am actually - will be done soon.
Thanks for your reply! Looking forward to it :D.
I just just subscribed to your channel!!! I'm so impressed thus far by your first video. I don't know what it is about you Brits that when you speak you command such respect?!?!?! Accent??? (Wink wink)... Anyways here is my TOP 5 all the way from Canada...
1. Neroli Sauvage
2. Green Irish Tweed
3. Jardin D'amalfi
4. Original Vetiver
5 Original Santal
:)
Hi Sonice, thank so much for the compliment! Some great ones on your top 5!!
Oh, and another, which I think is perfect for men is Christian Dior DUNNE, it is out of production, but a spicy floral scent with heavy green that I love. It is unlike any other I have smelled. This is a women's fragrance.
Jim Britt I like Dune, it's still readily available in UK (Men's version)
nice list mate my favs 5.original santal 4.erolfa 3 ambre cannelle 2 silver mountain water 1 royal oud
Nice pics David
My favs and top 4: 1) Aventus; 2) Silver Mountain Water; 3) Green Irish Tweed 4) Himalaya ... Fun facts: George Clooney and Richard Gere (among others) wear Green Irish Tweed. Michael Jordan loves Himalaya. And Jay Z wears Millesime Imperial.
+Lou 2kk Great pic Lou, thanks for posting.
Great list from a great house... Very very nice...
Do u buy from creed boutique? Or fragrancenet. Etc?
What would u prefer for quality.
Dam they r expensive
Also meant to ask, does GIT smell like Cool Water to you? I was thinking about purchasing it because of all the hype, but I got tired of cool water by the time I was about 14.
Similar, but GIT smells tonnes better
Dougie B, Go on the Nordstrom website, start a live help chat, ask them which stores sell Creed, then call those stores and ask them
Agree with you. Good review of the very classy Creed.
Thank very much! :-)
By the way: if you haven't already- PLEASE PLEASE try the Jardin D'Amalfi....
I am avoiding it, because I know I'll love it and then have to spend £££££ to buy it lol
Haha - I know what you mean. I now have 10ml of Jardin D'Amalfi, but I haven't given it a wearing yet.
Very nice collection.
Thank you for this list! Very helpful.
You're very welcome!
Hi Greg quick question for you. Are all Creed caps the same size? Will a cap from a 30ml bottle fit on a 75ml and 120ml bottle?
Let me know if they are the same, further to our discussion - cheers
Greggieboy76
I will mate
love GIT! It will most likely be my wedding day scent coming up this June 2014. I got recommendation to try Amouage Reflection Man before making a final decision. GIT is truly a gentleman's scent
Indeed it is!
I haven't smelled/owned 5 Creed frags, but of the 4 I have it would be
1. Green Irish Tweed
2. Royal Oud
3. Aventus
4. Millisime Imperial
Pure class. I own those four as well. Love them.
I'm a G.I.T fan all the way but since the release of Royal Oud it's been a big toss up to which one is the king in my opinion. I get more compliments wearing Royal Oud than G.I.T. but G.I.T never fails and is a massive ladykiller too ( as long as they don't think you are wearing Cool Water!)😁😁😁
Can't go wrong with either for sure!
thanks man .. your list is very nice too :).
I'm going to purchase Creed Himalaya. What are you thoughts on that one? Can you tell me about it's performance?
+eastlake93 It's not one of my favourites and performance is quite poor on my skin.
would you choose millesime imperial or aventus..
i got millesime imperial.
wondering what i should get in christmas.. smw??? or aventus?
Hi, I'm from Indonesia and gonna buy creed fragrance. Which do you prefer, Aventus or GIT? The others are just not fit on me. Thanks!
Sorry for my English :D
+Naufal Ade Septianto I would find it very hard to pick between those two, but would probably say Aventus!
+Greggieboy76 I once had GIT and Aventus sample vial, and GIT had better projection than Aventus. I don't know if it was by accident or not, but GIT had better projection on me when I wore it. What do you think? Sorry for asking you a lot :D
GIT and Erolfa are nice. But my favourit scent is Bois du Portugale, which is an awesome - while underrated - everyday fragrance, for men >30. Never got the Aventus hype. It's a nice sent, a crowd-pleaser, but way too mainstream for my taste. :)
+Matthias “Zunjin” Winter BDP has really grown on me in the past year. Really love it now
If Aventus didn't make it 2013, it has no chance these years. The batch variation paired with ONLY aventus going up and up in price... is pretty obvious Creed is taking advantage of it. Why does Aventus cost more than any other Creed?
Great video, would love to have an updated video from you for them. I am looking to get 3 Creed, but I have no place to sample as I live in South America. I want to blind buy for collecting purposes, but I know Aventus won't be one.
Thanks for watching. Go to my channel, there is a recent updated video with Top 15 Creeds
I only discovered creed at the end of 2015! I ever knew such great colognes existed . I owned some other great colognes like Prada sport. Christian Dior Sauvage as of late and countless others over the years. But creed is simply in a class by itself. Its not just a fragrance its a cred, Th smell is so unique, so natural and even inspiring. I love his collection and intend to get more, On my next post Ill post my top 5, I bough a few
+TysonFan911 Yeah, Creed have some great frags!!
I am thinking about either buying Virgin Island Water or Tom Ford Oud Wood I can only buy one for my collection which out of these would be the better quality fragrance differences in scent aside which one would be the best one to buy if you had to pick one thanks for any help guys.
When the silver mountain water dries down, I get the most pukey musk scent on my skin, I absolutely hate this stuff. Aventus is still noticable after I take a shower, stays on my skin beautifully. By the way, great videos fro across the pond.
Tony Marinelli thanks a lot for watching Tony
Love your reviews ' #always 🙌🏽
Thank you
+Greggieboy76 Hey man I know this sounds weird but I'm 14 years old and my dad and I have been saving up for a creed fragrance I love green Irish tweed but I don't know if it's too out of my age group.
Out of the Creed's I've tried, my top five would be Aventus, GIT, Royal Oud, MI and Himalaya.
Bob Bob Nice pics
Bob bob, would you consider Royal Oud, and Himalaya masculine. I am seeking a very masculine Creed to start.
eastlake93 I would. Royal Oud more so. But my idea of masculine could be completely different to yours. It's always best to sample before you buy, especially with something as expensive as Creed.
Great point. I will sample. I've been this blind buy kick recently, surprising myself, but with lower priced colognes. I will definitely sample Creed first. Thanks.
The TOP 5 are,... 5) Tied between Royal Water/Silver Mountain/Green Irish Tweed,... 4) Millesime Imperial,... 3) Original Vetiver,... 2) Aventus 1)Pure White Cologne
Have you tried the new acqua collection. I got the sample of them last month, not a fan of the new stuff apart from Cedre Blanc!
Aberdeen Lavender, Asian Green Tea don't do it for me, vetiver geranium and iris tubereuse are average also.
I'd have had Original Santal in the top 5, even though one time I was wearing it people asked if I was wearing joop!!
Edward Smith I haven't mate, I have heard such poor reports, that I am in no hurry to try!
+John Anthony, Oud Wood, simply for the versatility.
Can you recommend some discount sites where I can purchase more Creed fragrances. BTW, I love GIT,my wife likes it as well, but not as much as YSL La nuit of which I'm forced to wear lol.
Great Video Mate !!!! ;)
Hifi King Thanks pal
What do you think of Bois Du Portugal? Also would you be willing to give me one of your creed scents? I cannot afford one and I've smelled lots of them and it's a dream to be able to have one. Please??
+Veh Scorpio I really like BDP.
Great video bro... lol you are the man
Horace Guidry Thanks buddy
I have yet to smell a creed, my first buy will probably be aventus, maybe origional vetiver or millesime after that.
All great frags mate
Nice collection.
Creed have always been a mixed bag for me, CIT and Aventus are truly magnificent scents and i use more than any other, and amongst my favs ever. But Erolfa, Milesime Imperial and Vetiver have proved a disapointment, i guess they cant all be winners.
However to be fair i havent tried the Spice&Wood nor the Virgin Island.
But your spot on about Creed Irish Tweed, it's the best a man can get.
Steve Mcgill Thanks for watching and commenting mate
I've only got Aventus in the creed collection but have heard numerous times this is the best out of the creeds.
I've heard Davidoff cool water was made to mimmick Green Irish Tweed I own and like Cool Water but wouldn't want to pay that type of money for that type of fragrance..
wesfrantic GIT and Cool Water are similar, GIT is far superior, but whether the difference justifies the price is a personal choice I guess. Thanks for watching!
I own aventus and looking for another creed fragrance for cold weather ...plz help me as someone who already owns them knows which creed works best in winter..plz recommend ..thanks
Original Santal probably works best for Cold days, but I don't actually like it and you can buy Mont Blanc Individuel for peanuts and it's 95% the same. Creed fragrances generally tend to me made for Warmer weather.
1st G.I.T. it's got the lot just wish the top notes lasted even longer because they're magical.2nd Royal Oud, very classy would be joint 1st if I got more than 5 hours longevity.3rd Aventis, resampled this after getting a fake, glad I did beautifully fresh and lasts.
+shaunxk8 Nice choices! Thanks for sharing!
Look at those vintage bottles 🤤
Greg any ideas how can i buy creed fragrances from uk. they don't have them in Cyprus.
They are very expensive in UK mate.
im in 20s and would you recommend me couple ? for creed :D
thx!
will try all i guess one by one
is their any similarities between Creed Aventus & Cadrat Boise by Mancera.
Yes there is. Especially the 2014-2016 versions of Aventus. Cedrat Boise is an excellent alternative
+Greggieboy76 thanx a bunch ' appreciate the feedback.
Do you think Original Vetiver is worth it if you can buy Mugler Cologne ?
To be honest, "No" MC is great.
Thanks for the opinion!
This list is perfect except for one thing, Himalaya should be there somewhere.
It is on my updates list :-)
***** I watched that one after i wrote that lol . I was saddened about GiT losing the number 1 spot in your new one.
I change my mind a lot ;-)
