    The biggest plus for Spice and wood is that you are not gonna smell like the rest 80% of men at the moment and this is very important! Nice review !

    Hi I have both smoky and fruity version of Aventus and I also have L venture and Insurrection Pure 2. All of them are good. I layer them. First Insurrection Pure II then La venture and then 3 sprays of Creed on neck and behind ears. It gives great result. I love Insurrection Pure II also.

    I tried spice and wood awhile ago.. Thought it was nice, but nothing that blew me away .. especially for the price... I think the beauty in aventus is the combo of notes that creates that very bright pineapple that isn't so much pineapple but a citric pineapple that is more bergamot/lemon fresh instead of fruity/sweet like an actual pineapple. L'aventure is more fruity like a heavy black currant. L'aventure is very good though.. Probably the best for the price.. I think the PV white does a better job cloning the current batches of aventus in terms of that pineapple/beg/lemon type smell.. The sweetness comes more from the vanilla than the fruit.. thats the big difference i think between PV/aventus and l'aventure.

    • @Guinea54
      @Guinea54 7 лет назад

      I have to try that ! I liked pineapple vintage.. the white one especially.. L'aventure is also great... I don't have a zara near me.. i worry about the performance.. If any of you got a sample/decant for sale or swap let me know!

    What would you recommend for a higher quality more natural alternative to Victor Rolf SpiceBomb?

  • @MrYoumitube
    @MrYoumitube 6 лет назад +1

    I give Spice & Wood a 9 and Aventus an 8. Spice & Wood has more charm & grace quality a modest confident ability where Aventus is like hey smell me cockiness confidence. So I guess choose which one suits your personality. Both great but IMO S&W is my prefered fragrance I put S&W in the BDP territory a fragrance that is charming!

  • @QWERTYOP80
    @QWERTYOP80 7 лет назад +1

    Unfortunately Spice & Wood doesn't work on me either, so I won't be considering a purchase when my decant runs out. Nice enough, but not exactly "must have" juice IMO. Especially at that f***ing price!!

      I layer all 8 of my Creed fragrances @ 1 spray each so I can smell like royalty. It didn’t work on my wife though, I mean ex wife. Probably because I walk an ugly dog that barks all the time. It’s not even my dog!!

    And congrats on 6k :D

      and Bogart Pour Homme.

    • @HakimAbdulKhaaliq
      @HakimAbdulKhaaliq 7 лет назад

      I'm going to have to get my hands on a sample of Mancera Cedat Boise...I've heard great things about that frag. I'm not certain but I think you did a review on Penhaligon's English Fern, and/or the Penhaligon House... If not, what's your take on this fragrance for a Springtime sent?

    • @MrSmelly1977
      @MrSmelly1977  7 лет назад

      I tried English Fern. Very nice old fashioned Fougere. Similar to Houbigant Fougere Royale. Mature smelling but excellent. Cedrat Boise is more of a crowd pleaser and very strong!

  • @Symphony85p
    @Symphony85p 6 лет назад

    Spice and wood is better. The big problem is the price on their exclusive lines but i think Spice and wood is the nr 1 creed when it comes to pure smell in my opinion.

  • @benjaminschmeiser1259

    No fragrance at that price should have problems with longevity. I like Amouage over Creed for partly that reason.

    • @MrSmelly1977
      @MrSmelly1977  7 лет назад +1

      Yes I'd love to try that. The did great job with their versions of Silver Mt Water and Millesime Imperial that I've tried . I hear they are also doing a Bois du Portugal scent soon.

    • @vorines4305
      @vorines4305 7 лет назад

      I received yesterday Desert Reflection (Amouage Reflection clone) and it smells very close to the original. I didn't know they had their version of Millesime Imperial, does it perform well? It that is the case, I'd make it my summer signature. I would have to ask you since the only web with DUA samples doesn't deliver to Spain... Thank you and keep up the good work!

    I have to say that Spice and Wood is my favourite Creed, but I will not purchase it, because of the price. I do love Adventus, Boise du Portugal, Green Irish tweed, and original santel. Unfortunately I do not like any of the other Creed fragrances.

      It is from a very reputable source actually. funny enough I tested the bottle source today and it is the same. I just wanted to know if decants loose anything but I had know from my own nose.

    @Angelo101117 7 лет назад

    I was on the fence with Spice n Woods. The scent was very nice but the performance on my skin was very... unusual. I felt like it was coming n going back n forth throughout the evening. In the morning I could smell it on my pillow and it smelled much different than on my skin... much better that is. Would I buy it? No... it is a great scent, don't mind the performance but in my opinion it's waaaay overpriced. The amount of L'Aventure I could get for that £320...

    • @MrSmelly1977
      @MrSmelly1977  7 лет назад

      Agreed Angelo. Spice and Wood is a bit trIcky. It lasted well on paper but not in skin. Definitely still a fan of L'aventure!

  • @stanners9876
    @stanners9876 7 лет назад +2

    From Creed's own website "Aventus is confident, suave, elegant, dominant, virile and assured. Designed as an homage to Olivier Creed’s hero Alexander the Great, Conqueror of Asia - “there are no more worlds to conquer!” - whose likeness is alluded to on the label."

    • @MrSmelly1977
      @MrSmelly1977  7 лет назад +1

      Yes that's what they say now. But at first it was Napoleon...
      www.apetogentleman.com/2010/06/18/creed-introduces-the-new-aventus-fragrance/
      Maybe Napleom was too controversial and some people didn't like that idea.
