I love Cuir Intense. So much more than just leather. Just beautiful. Definitely not just a macho kind of perfume-men and women would should wear this with confidence. Absolute love for me, and "lasts forever" means something for this one. I am not bothered by its strength, which may account for my fascination with it. Unique place in my collection.
Thanks so much for your collaborations. Hope Mr. Kristo is well wherever he is now. Much Peace to you all.
Bought a sample of Atelier des Ors Rose Ameyyade that I fell for. Very subtle rose, a bit animalic and has good performance on me. I think of as year round. You're my favorite reviewer. I value your opinions the most because of your honesty. Your lovely wife and Christo are always appreciated too.
The forest park and car editions of Kristo & Eugene are some of my favourites videoes on youtube. Thank you!
The new «lagoon» from Hermes is unique. Its very smooth on skin. Almost like silk. Dont think its a buy for me, but interesting creation imo.
9:52 is the best part of the video , just say it like it is hahahah.. Great job boys! Greets from Croatia!
Great take! Enjoyed this video and the take on the Cologne.
YEESSS...another Eugene and Kristo show. I live for this.
Aventus Cologne is Creed's clone version of all of the Aventus clones out there. 😁
It's crazy right? They've even baked a clue into the name with the whole cologne/clone thing. They're laughing at the fragheads' expense!
Lol great description. Wish we could have used that.
Exactly. My L'aventure is way better. :D
They're charging a hell of a price for it too lol
Nice to see my guys hang-out and spend genuine time together......
Great review. Cuir sounds like a great purchase. Perhaps better for spring, fall or evening. Nice collaboration 👍🏼😎
You guys are the dream team, thanks for sharing your thoughts on these! Love when you team up. I think it's funny that even on a channel of perfume snobs, by perfume snobs, for perfume snobs-using that term lovingly-we still all have a lot to say about Aventus, even if we're disparaging it, and the comments bear this out. If nothing else it's got reach, I guess. anyway you've got me intrigued to sniff Lagune!
Kristo is such a Geek!! Haha cheers Bro!! Kovacs what up!!
Great video guys!!
Fragcomms answer to the Blues Brothers 😎
I think we'll start using that term. Love the Blues Brothers.
Fourreau Noir is fantastic in the fall! Lavender~tonka goodness)
00:53 Gadamnnn!! Help them!! 😯

So this is a message that I sent to Eugen back when it came out. We went back and forth when we first got our bottles and a couple of months after. I got my Cuir Intense bottle on April 13th so besides the list of notes I saw at the time I had no idea what to expect because no one I knew had it besides Eugen. It starts off interesting but the leather is hardly there or at least not the way it comes in full force later. In fact, the opening was (and still is) my least favorite part because I was afraid that it would stay that way for some reason, mind you, I wasn’t fully awake just yet, I had just woken up to my package of Liu and Cuir Intense at my doorstep. I was really let down for the first 20 minutes. Although I thought it was leathery in the initial spray, that went away for the majority of the opening. It was interesting in the opening and there were (are) more fruity accords which were nice but not the leather I was hoping for. That quickly changed as the complexity began to show the longer it wore on my skin (which I should've expected from a Guerlain). It’s immensely balmy. I hardly get any sweetness after the opening of not so sweet apricot, plum and cherry accords and it only gets deeper as it dries. After the opening, the leather keeps shape-shifting on my skin, it’s an ever-evolving multifaceted leather. It's a saddle leather at first, then salty Russian leather boots, then a tannery, then a tarry tire shop for a little, then the inside of a leather bag full of waxy orris and irises and keeps on changing. It’s extremely refined and smells like it has one foot in the past (the early 1900s) and another firmly in the present. This is how leather should smell. Easily in my top 10 leathers of all time and I did not think that it would have been able to compete with the greats. This exceeded my expectations.
Anyway, I’ve been studying this exceptional, complex release from Guerlain for the past several month’s and this is what I get aside from the listed notes and roughly in the order, I get the notes in.
4.5/5
Top
Osmanthus (plum, apricot) black cherries, ylang-ylang (no banana just indolic), coriander, and a very salty soy sauce accord lol
Heart
violet, Heliotrope, violet leaf, orris root, iris, labdanum, styrax, sandalwood, anise
Base
Extremely dry herbs (thyme, clary sage, sage, rosemary), birch tar, myrrh (medicinal not sweet opoponax), sandalwood, dry flaky tobacco, ambergris, Peru balsam, prosciutto accord, cedarwood, and mossy notes (oakmoss or treemoss) and a touch of bezoin.
I'm not saying you have to love it but give it another chance and a full wearing @kristofer maves.

Hey pimpskillet. Happy to see this impression video guys. Love your work. Andy from Berkeley
Love those classic queeers.
It's great you started with Cuir Intense, I really like that one. I also think it's not like Tuscan Leather at all. I do love both though. Tuscan Leather,to me, smells like the inside of an expensive new car. Cuir Intense smells like the inside of an expensive leather jacket or leather bag.
I also have a sample of Aventus Cologne. Where is your take on that in the video?
@@speedwolf5212 it's half an hour, can you watch it and tell me?
The Creed counter in my nearby Neiman Marcus gives me 3ml samples.........Of Creed only
Hello Eugene, Have your tried the new Ideal Cool flanker?
9:53 Yes, this is what we came here for!
Bro Kristo is to fragcom what sephirod was to cloud.
Fucking legend.
Eugen just showed me this comment as I don't get notifications. I have no idea what this means but I'll take it as a compliment!
@@KrisKlein it is a reference to one of the greatest role playing games ever made called Final Fantasy 7 (FFVII)
cloud strife is the hero, Sephiroth is the bad guy but they are both just as important, like Batman without Joker so yeah, i'd say it's a damn good compliment lol
That lagoon smells like those white things on the Lillies, I call them frog 🐸ball washers since frogs usually bathe inside the water collected therein.
So basically sur lagoon smells like freshly washed 🐸 frog balls
To me Guerlain Cuir Intense is more in line with Gucci Guilty Absolute or even Gucci - The Voice Of The Snake EDP, than Tom Ford Tuscan Leather.
A few days ago, I literally said the SA lady, that Aventus Cologne is a big pile of s@&t.:D LOL. As if Creed was trolling the bros...
Next: new Guerlain based around patchouli?! Holy mother of god, i‘m super excited!
*Savage Adam, ROFL!* ☕😆👍
I do get a kick out of the intro being an admission of niche snobbery. I have to admit that myself now.
Eau Minthe was a big letdown to me. It's Drakkar Noir with bit better quality (and slightly mintiness) for 10 times the price.
Fourreau Noir is great. They got that and Iris Silver Mist into fragrancebuy recently for a steal.
Willy Wonka Eau de Menthe totally reminded me of Drakkar Noir, too. I liked the newish iris one and patchouli one OK, though.
Kristo-clear. The best kind of clear.
Have u tried L'Âme d'Un Héros Guerlain
I could give a fuck less for Aventus or Aventus cologne but I really want to try Guerlain cuir intense 👍 that sounds awsome, its interesting how people perceive things so differently I love love santal royal wore it yesterday outside all day in the sun and had no issues with it, dont find it strong or cloying at all just done really well and it makes me want to explore the rest of the line. Thanks for the video #wackpack🤚
I got a crazy teacher he wears dark glasses things are going great and their only getting better.... I'm doing alright getting good grades I gotta wear 😎 shades ...Eugene those are Ray Ban yes ??? And Kris what kind of glasses ??? Very essential with fragrance other then hats a bad ass pair of glasses some Tom Fords or Gucci 1018s
Now we have years of clone videos ahead from all the other reviewers 😒
Fragmental embrace your inner wackpack.😎
@@minouou I don't oversee admissions, but are these influencers influencing good taste or primarily their pocket? 🧐
😯
🇬🇧 #WackPack. Waiting for you both to shit on the Aventus Cologne 😂
Olivier Creed just spat out his Dom! Dollar store clone 😂😂😂
I never found Aventus that interesting even when I was starting collecting and every salesperson were recommending it like forcefully. the only pineapple opening that ever wowed me was Orion which for some odd reason ppl are comparing to the #king ! I believe its advertisment and lack of taste-driven judgement that makes likes of Aventus or Sauvage top seller not necessarily a magical scent
Flower on a lily pad? that would be a water lily ;)
Agree on Diptyque Eau De Minthe - nothing special. Not even going to waste my time on testing Aventus Cologne because even original doesn't impress me. Looking to try Cuir Intense, I really like leather scents.
SOTD FM French Lover. Greetings from Lithuania.
The diptyque smells like drakar noir in the dry down
What?!? You guys don’t love the “king” of fragrances?!? You savages! 🤣 #wackpack
great video, guys! Aventus Clone is a total joke. lol
Bro history lol........I think Aventus Cologne is pretty bad for the money. Real rip off.
I don’t even think someone in their right mind should consider this even if it was 100 bucks. Aventus Cologne that is...
I think aventus smells good but it is quit over hyped and overpriced now. I think some clones are good enough to satisfy your aventus craving if you have to have it. That’s just my opinion. Andy
So I tried the Hermes Un Jardin sur la Lagune and at first I liked it but my guy friend said that on my skin it smelled like “cat piss”.... as you can imagine, didn’t purchase. It’s different but my least favorite of the collection.
Tommy Hilfiger the original 1995 formula is the best colgne ever.... Even better than today's new generic toilette smells.
HAHAHAHAHA "Alright, FUCK Creed"
Lol
You used the fuck-word!
Kristo-clear. The best kind of clear.
