- I hope you enjoy my honest take on the latest release from Creed. I hope to gain a new perspective on the scent when I am able to wear it under the appropriate circumstances.
Here are a few of my other favorite fragrances!

I like how you always include subtle corrections overlaid in text on the screen...it shows an attention to detail, and a commitment to speaking factually.
Creed is beginning to love their fragrances more than people like me. I have creed Aventus and green Irish tweed 4oz bottles. I wear them on special occasions only. Once I run out of them I won’t be buying creed sadly. Since Aventus has too many batch issues and creed has increased the prices and decreased the bottle size. Good video brother.
Love the honesty bro. Nice to see someone not just go with the crowd and to speak the truth. Good video though.
This lasts 2-3 hours and it's gone and thats consistent with 6 people ive tested it on...3 tests on skin and 3 on clothes...skin was 3 hours max and clothes maybe pushed to 4 hours.....for the price I'd say creed go kick rocks
Rob lol. Tell us how u really feel..
@@jwalker1122 I feel creed is raping me in the ass
@ryanw1986 and then you woke up
Creed should modify their name a bit and replace the C with a G.
LMAO, they actually aspire to limit the number of people wear their products!
I agree the price and performance are both thumbs down. Great thoughts !!! Love your channel !!!
I’ve got 2018 batch of Aventus it’s pineapple heavy which I really like and I have no issues with performance still well worth it for me 👍
This is actually one of my favorites from creed along with vetiver geranium. I love the cleanliness of those two. They are very easy to wear and inoffensive. In the dry down, I do get that marine/sea type smell like in Allure Homme
Its not a bad scent at all.
I work in a warehouse environment and in my experience I got way more compliments then when I wear regular aventus. People who never compliment me where complimenting me on aventus cologne. I sprayed 6 sprays 2 on shirt 1 on chest 1 behind each ear and 1 behind neck. 7 hours and I could still smell it. When I wear aventus women tell me a smell like an old man
Wow. I'm happy to hear you've had a great experience with this one. I'd still like to experience a full wearing from a bottle, I think I might think a little differently of it.
what you should do is buy aventus cologne bottle spray it as soon as you get it to allow oxygen to enter the bottle. put the bottle in storage in a dark cool place for 6 months and do this for at least a year and half and by the end of it the fruit notes will pop. I did this with my 2016 aventus bottle. it initially was very bad and had weak notes of pineapple but after maybe a year and half to 2 years the bottle totally changed, the bottle now gives off a strong pineapple and apple scent that i dont believe i smelled at all when i first got it. so do this with the new aventus cologne let it become like a fine wine over the years and you will thank me later
The price is wild , you can get aventus for 190 euro shipped from Paris right here. American prices are insane.
Even though aventus isn't wow for me , I'm glad so many have found something they love.
Got a sample of this and it's the same reaction from me , nice but doesn't captivate me in the least. I'm sure it will be an instant love for many and hope people find what they love.
Spice&wood and erolfa are still my favourite creeds.
Stellar review as always 👑
Spice & wood is my fav too 👍.
Have you smelled xerjoff richwood and 40 knots ? they are crazy good
@@Symphony85p yeah I own both. Incredible offerings from Xerjoff, own about 15 of them 😂
@@UnknownChap (: nice
Thanks for the reply! It means a lot! I hope to get my nose on a sample of Aventus Cologne when it releases here in Montreal!! btw stellar pronunciation ;)
Great video as always man. Imo Aventus cologne is a copout from Creed. I'm sure they know of the complaints circulating around Aventus for awhile now and instead of putting out quality bottles they're trying to fall back on something else. This is why I double down on buying from houses like parfums vintage because they understand the need generated by Creeds poor standard as of late and outrageous prices.
It's a shame that such a niche brand embarks the road of flankers. Performance of 2018 batches sucks so hard and USA Creed price is insane.
How much is creed in the US then?
Giusep O official price in USA Creed boutique around 400$ per 100ml
@@Rybkinrolla Here in the Netherlands It's €230 and for Aventus and Viking it is €270. But they aren't from the Creed boutiques, but from well known warehouses from the Netherlands. But you can find them cheaper online right? Or isn't that thrust worthy?
19 batches are decent. 19S31 , U11 and S01. Fire
2019 last for 12 hours. Creed Aventus is still the king.
I definitely will not pay full price, for a full size bottle. I'm still planning to get a sample of the cologne version, just to try it.
So far, in 2019, the original Creed Aventus is my most worn fragrance. Its a fragrance I really enjoy. I can't imagine the cologne could be better.
Another great content again Justin, down the road I'm might end up getting a bottle of Original Santal due to the fact I smelled Original Santal in Nordstrom it was love at first sniff, and have a great, amazing, blessed, positive, productive and safe week and Memorial day with family and friends
I appreciate your honesty!!!
As an old frag-head i do remember Aventus from the very start. Before the hype all Creed fragrances were A LOT CHEAPER. 120ml of Aventus was ~$120 for a 120ml tester bottles , and all other Creeds were ~$100-110 for the full 120ml presentation.I'm talking online of course.
2019 prices , especially in US are *INSANE* . Let me give you a small example - back in 2015 i bought 500ML decanter from the official Creed boutique in Paris (now there are 2) for 500ml decanter for €389,00.To be honest i do not remember the exchane rate back then , but in 2019 that's $440 . And let me tell you something straight - the batch i got has NOTIHING to do with current formulations. It's heavy on the birtch and the smoke , and lasts and projects like a beast. Over 6 hours of strong projection , and ~14 hours on skin longevity.
Back in 2015 500ml = $440 for super potent fragrance
In 2019 i have to pay more for 100 ml of some pathetic Aventus wannabe - could not care less that Creed made it. No way.
That's greed on some cosmic level.
Wow. That's crazy stuff. Thanks for the insight.
Crazy, are there any substitutes to Creed from the early years you think?
@@g1496 What exactly do you mean? Clones?
@@g1496 I don't know what king of fragrances you like , how old are you , how much exactly you would like to pay.. Be aware fragrance market is EXTREMELY saturated , and you should NEVER pay retail , especially now. If the horror we're all living in continues for more than 4 months some brands may not even survive .
Nothing **
Fragcomm is smart enough not getting retail price,ever! We all know where to source discounted ones and for sure I’ll get this once this hits their inventory for the half or even lower. Speaking of Viking,I have yet to own a fb coz till this day,it’s still just an ok scent for me. Hasn’t reach the love territory yet. Finished 3 samples already but still undecided.
I can’t support creed anymore. They were simply asked why they didn’t add Ambergris like they use on original Aventus & they said “we didn’t use it because it would make the fragrance more expensive”. EXCUSE me? Fragrance retail for $400 and not only that why does other Creed frags have Ambergris and still cost $400?!
Glad to hear your thought on this!! 👍 👍 🎉
The price is to got damn high.
Are you channeling your inner flossy Carter?😅
@@easye1311 😄🤘🏻
Agreed buddy... thumbs up 👍
I agree with that, Adventus Cologne not worth price point..I do Have a 4/2019 batch just purchased and am hoping to have acquired a decent
Batch..Thank you for the insight
What became of your purchase
Excellent point and observation about this better experienced in warmer weather. Many places are having rain/unseasonably cooler weather now. Creed most likely planned the target release date well beforehand with the intention of everyone trying it in warm sunny weather.
Love your reviews man
This was an excellent, thorough review!!
Very nice 👍🏾
Thanks so much!
*Great honest review, J!* Have also my resentments about the reduced base quality as usual and bonkers pricing for a Creed. Will try a sample without being too excited! *Have a goodsmellin' week!* ✌🙂☕
deffinetely Aventus is not worth over $400.. i feel like this for good 3 years now.. so yeah...
I'll will wait with getting a decant of Aventus Cologne like i waited with Viking (which i ended up liking very much)... let the hype and prize go down.
For me the only thing you're really paying for is the name. And the lore of how Creed was started... The prices for their frags and the longevity are way off..If you going pay that much the scent should last much longer.
But to each is their own. Awesome review bro🤜🏿🔥
You're spot on, but they used to have much better longevity. I bought Millésime Impérial in 1996 with my first paycheck after graduating college. Paid around $150 for it at Neiman Marcus. It was nothing like the current formulation. It lasted and lasted as did some of the other Creed fragrances I tried. I would send my dress shirts to be laundered and when they came back, there was still a faint smell of it around the collar. I picked up a bottle through a discount site late last year and even with 10-15 sprays, it's gone in 40-60 minutes. Same goes for Aventus, Silver Mountain Water and Royal Mayfair, Bois du Portugal. The only fragrance from this house that seems to last a few hours is Green Irish Tweed. I've pretty much written Creed off. There's so many quality niche houses out there now that they've almost become irrelevant. Once the Aventus hype train finally comes to a stop, they are going to be hurting. Guess that's why they are going to keep releasing flankers.
@@yuma420 I totally agree and Appreciate you're insight.. And there definitely alot of other niche houses making quality fragrance that last....More longevity for youre money..
If I'm gonna pay that much I expect the cologne to stay on me AND project for a good 12 hours and have a lasting effect on my clothes for 2 days (which some of the colognes I own have this effect). But ah well. Guys wanna get greedy
buy it in europe, it is actually cheaper than the original aventus here… but even 255 € is probably to much for this… i love aventus too, but my 2018er Batch has a shitty Performance so im kinda disappointed too..
@MrJtwillie yes but i dont know how to get them here in Germany... do they ship to europe? i once checked their Website but since there were no 100 ml bottles, itinstantly left the site haha :D
*** What you as a trusted reviewer should do is Try to find better and relatively Cheaper priced fragrances that are overlooked because of these Creed Aventus' & Tom Ford's etc. ***
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Smells like a slightly improved Chanel Allure Homme Sport; obviously, therefore, as you said, the price can't be justified. True, value proposition is subjective; and therefore, the slight improvement I perceive may be perceived by others as a significant improvement. Nonetheless, even for a significant improvement, I'm not sure a 5X price difference is justified. Therefore, notwithstanding plausible subjectivity, this fragrance doesn't seem objectively to justify its value proposition.
Man you are a smooth dude man. You let the truth be told without being extra. Keep doing your thang man. Don't switch it up for nothing or no one. 👍
I'm waiting for Club de Nuit Intense Cologne! :D
Seems like this is more of a mass appealing version of Aventus more or less. I'm actually waiting for a sample so the jury is still out for me. Great review as always JC
That's really what it is. Its worth trying, but not buying unless you're head over heels for it.
Great to hear your thoughts on this one brother:)
Price is way too high for the performance
This is all I needed to know, not in a rush to smell it now
Excellent review and good to see your (honest take). BTW Chatillon Lux has just came out with Nefertiti Parfum Extrait which is inspired by Miles Davis' 1958 album. I plan on getting the sample and figure with your jazz insight it would perk your interest... sounds very different from Aventus Cologne lol.
Thank you! And my interest is definitely perked...I'll look into that!
Where is that cool soul loop you used to use miss that it’s great anyhow great review thanks Justin
Very thorough review
Great info, and advice. This is something the salesmen don't tell you.
Just tryin to be real.
@@stayfreshproductions Man appreciate your honesty. I have blind bought some fragrances from some Fragrance reviewers on CZcams that I respect, but I didn't feel the same way about the fragrance. So know I try to get a sample b4 I blind buy. I've been debating on getting a scentbird account.
Great in depth review as always!!
No need to buy this, just wait for Parfums Vintage to release a clone of it that performs better and is cheaper.
Some people don't support theft.
@@carlover4239 I completely agree, which is why people won't pay inflated Creed prices.
@@PsPPHYCO ha ha
Edwin What a stupid reply.
Aventus Cologne is getting lukewarm reviews (at best) from what I can see. The fact is, people just want Aventus, and they want a version that will perform. Yet Creed continues to produce formulas of Aventus which barely justify the price, and now come out with a reimagined version that people are just not feeling.
I am not a part of Creed's marketing team, but I can't help but feel they are a bit out of touch with their consumer. As such, I would not be surprised if in the future they count Aventus Cologne as one of their flops.
It was a hypebeast marketing campaign and to keep the Aventus name leads me to believe there was no creative thought into the new cologne release.
I'll just wait till Dua drops their's
You definitely "Get it": Poseidon's Elixir 13 if finally back in stock! Performance is tops.
I agree. Creed cologne is good. But not bottle worthy.
Great review. I got the 100ml bottle 270 dollars pre-order online (big risk buying blind I know). Hopefully I won't be let down.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it, John. The pre-order price was only $270? That's still not great, but much better. Damn...
@@stayfreshproductions It was 215 pounds which is about 270 dollars. Might have been even cheaper in America as in the uk there is a 20% Value added tax.
@@stayfreshproductions Your review was spot on. It smells great but the performance is TERRIBLE!!! Lasts 3-4 hours tops then it is a barely detectable skin scent. Don't know what creed think they are doing. Shame because the scent is actually really appealing to me.
John Locke yeah...that’s pretty much it. Sorry it didn’t do any better for you
@@stayfreshproductions I took a gamble and it didn't pan out that is how it goes sometimes. Looking forward to the next review. By the way have you ever sampled Xjeroff 40 knots?
I will stick wit parfums vintage parfum
Tnx, great. Exactly what I was expecting ...
They abused the name of Aventus to just sell
I like the creed cologne better than the original
Me too!
Will wait for Parfums Vintage clone lol✌️
I’m sure PV is working on it as we speak!
Solid video, J. Good point about the ambergris. What's up with that? Haha. On a side note, how do feel about Ambergris? You a fan of that note?
Thanks man. I have yet to smell Ambergris in its raw form, but it has never turned me away from a fragrance. So I'd say I am a fan.
dang bruh, I blind bought from addicts for$258...but you got me super worried now b/c you love creed as much as I do.
Trust me, I'm sure you'll really enjoy the scent, Evan. Its very well-done. But to me, its just not worth the price.
Received my sample in mail I don’t like it at all. Some things are best left alone. This is one of them
😂
Great review the hype is real!
Nope! Tempted but I’m Done giving creed my money. Excellent take as always bro
Great review and informative :) love hearing your take on fragrances. I gave this suggestion to Timmy from Imagine Scent about maybe doing a video on the reasoning behind houses reformulating fragrances. Is it due to the cost of materials, what's the profit loss margin are the same perfumers involved in the reformulations is the theory of making a weaker batch so that consumers go through a bottle faster to buy more a true benefit especially with all the flankers if that line that was reformulated has one etc. Just a thought. As always stay clean my brotha ;)
Why do they charge so much more in the States, always wondered? Scandalous really
EXACTLY.
@@stayfreshproductions Tell them to show their working! 🤣 it's just a money grab, has to be, surely. I can't think of a good reason. I'm English btw, not American, and I still think it's outrageous lol
Export/import fees
I had the same feelings and commented as such in a different video. It’s the same price but it doesn’t have the same high-quality ingredient. Seems peculiar. I think Dallas mentioned something along the lines of Creed saying it would be too expensive to include ambergris. So it begs the question of why not charge less or what is increasing the cost?
I’m curious if they will do a tenth anniversary limited edition release too.
As a company, I suppose I can’t blame them for being entrepreneurs and making more money. I think this sold out at the release event so I guess they don’t have the motivation to increase the quality and decrease the cost. Smaller sizes with less expensive ingredient equals more profit. And if they’re still selling like hotcakes, why would they care?
I’m still eagerly awaiting my sample though because why not 😀
Happy Memorial Day friend.
Its funny how sometimes, as appreciators of perfume as an art, we can forget that large companies like Creed do not see us the way we see ourselves. Creed doesn't see us as appreciators of fine art, they see us as customers. We can quickly go into denial when they release a fragrance that leaves us scratching our heads, and we try to convince ourselves that its Creed, so its got to be amazing. The answer is clear is day: they want more money. Don't get me wrong, this is a great scent...and I wouldn't spend more than $150 for it.
J Copeland completely agree brother
For guys who just like long-lasting or even decent longevity compliment getters, would you say this fits the bill?
Compliment-getting? Yes. Long lasting? Not really. And you have to be willing to pay $325+ if you’re in North America.
J Copeland Thanks for the reply man. Here in the UK the retail is a lot better at £215 (around $270) so I’ll definitely check it out with a sample because from your description it sounds like a fresher Aventus scent just lacking a little in performance, maybe a nice summer daytime fragrance. Stay fresh man love your videos.
I love my club de nuit intense man.
Haha!
Great review 👍
its very similar to chanel alure home sport
Agreed
You didn’t spin
Thanks bud. Saved me some cash 👍
I'mma wait till parfums vintage to make a cheaper clone lol 😂
whats the name of the song? :)
What are your thoughts on Creed royal water?
Love it!
Would you recommend the Cologne over the original for work. I don't want to choke out anyone in the office 😂
I definitely would.
Is there any hedione in it ?
Not sure! I don't detect anything resembling jasmine.
I’m filthy rich.. I use creed as air freshener in my house, in my car wherever I go. I get out at intersections and spray the homeless and they love it!. If you peasants can’t afford it, then stick to Brute & High Karate.. damn it!!!
Do u play keyboard
Yes!

Hey bro
Hi J, do you agree with some other reviews that it has similarities with Chanel Allure Sport or even Versace Pour Homme? both of which are cheaper than CA cologne.
I would say it is similar to those two...but the quality of the blend is a bit smoother.
@@stayfreshproductions - Thanks for the reply, the cologne is due in the stores here in the UK from June 1st so, hope to get a sample in the next day or two.
Awwwww so it's not a boxer dropper lol
Rent....I mean CREED is 2 damn high!!!!
Lol yep!
A Cash Grab All it is
Gonna get a decant as soon as possible.......nice review ....check out my channel when you get the chance Justin (might be something you like)
I'll check it out!
J Copeland. Cool
