Haven’t tried too many creeds but from the ones I’ve tried, Silver mountain water is easily my favourite

Great list could watch your Creed content all day, I remember when your first review came out about Viking Cologne glad you came around to it

I have had no issues with performance of my 5 Creeds that are all less than 3 years old. My 3 year old bottle of Aventus had garnered compliments after 10 hours. Silver Mountain Water is my favorite.

@@zeeshanahmad4805 I don’t know if you share a similar impression to mine but when it comes to Creed, yes their juice is overpriced, and yes many of their fragrances lack longevity, but the scent on many - likely most of their fragrances, are purely amazing. V.I.W, Bois Du Portugal, Royal Oud are easily some of the best scents (purely the smell) that I’ve ever experienced. Even with all the controversy I’d hold Aventus and the Absolu batch as the best smells my nose has experienced. I have spent thousands more on sampling fragrances than I have buying bottles simply chasing the experience of a scent that send chills down my neck, ones that affect the lymbic brain as Justin has referenced. As for V.I.W and tropical scents, have you compared it to Malibu Party in the Bay? While much cheaper and more synthetic it’s still a pretty enjoyable experience that obviously hits the pocket book less. LV’s City of Stars is a great Tropical option as well and will likely be my next bottle purchase. If you enjoy florals, and don’t mind something that leans a little femme (City of Stars likely leans a bit that way as well) Ylang Ylang Nosy Be is a great scent as well. If you didn’t mind reading my post I appreciate at wish you well. I look forward to hearing about the other tropical fragrances that you keep in rotation.

My favorite from the house of Creed is Bois du Portugal - I'm 45, so I guess I gravitate towards Old School. Then Royal Water, Royal Oud VIW and Spice & Wood

Great list! Creed is one of, if not my favorite house! Right before you got to Aventus 2010 I literally had a similar experience with it. I bought it from Saks, got home, opened and sprayed it and…nothing. It was like water. So I said this must have to age or something and sure enough it has gotten close to the strength of my much older batch. I love Spice and Wood too. I don’t own a bottle of Jardin d’Amalfi yet but may order a decant for the summer. Lovely fragrance for the summer

Silver Mountain Water gets me more random compliments from women in public. When I first got it I couldn’t get my wife away from me. Original Santal is one I wear for me.

Great video, I am glad it was the algorithm recommended for me. I would have swapped my favorite spice and wood for one of your top three that wasn’t Royal Oud.

My top 5 Creeds are: 1. Viking 2. Original Vetiver 3. Erolfa 4. Spice & Wood 5. Original Santal Aventus wont even make into my top-10 Creeds, but its still nice. When it comes to freshies, Creed are the best niche house for me, ima real fanboy.

Great review . i would add spice and wood somewhere in the last three spots

Creed is fantastic! I think you nailed number 1 and 2. In addition, Neroli Sauvage is perfect for hot weather. Its simplicity highlights the quality ingredients beautifully

You know J is doing well financially if he doesn’t sell of a 2016 bottle of Aventus that he no longer even likes all that much.

I've owned Aventus and Santal, loved them both. Next is Royal Oud. It's my favorite.

I swear you brain is connected to mine, a few weeks ago I was looking to see if I wanted a xerjoff fragrance and two days later you put up your video. The other day I was looking into creed and what is recommended? This one.

AGREED! Royal Oud, number one!

JC, With your love of fougère’s, I implore you to try BOIS DU PORTUGAL!

ordered ten samples. Just did it through another outfit that offers 1ml. My sample orders are 30-40 products so I'm spending $300+ already. Thanks for the video. I picked up Original Vetiver a few days ago. Love it, but wish it was longer than 4 hours.

The one and only (...I have 😄): green irish tweed. Yeah, I should wear it tomorrow again😉

Original Santal is the first full-bottle from the Creed house that I've purchased; I absolutely love it, and, no joke, every time I go to the cabinet to pick a fragrance for the day, I have to fight myself to choose something else XD Also, I love Silver Mountain Water, but, sadly, find it fades a bit too quickly for my taste, and the price tag. Gorgeous scent, though. Honestly, as far as tea scents go, I think Ormande Jayne's Montabaco Intensivo may be a better option to try from that DNA; it's not really more affordable, and lacks that metallic twinge (if that's important to you), but I found the performance to be much better than SMW, and maybe more interesting? I have to yet to give Royal Oud a full-trial wearing, and after watching this, I'm definitely closer to making that happen. Thank you for another fantastic video, Justin!

I’m glad you found some good ones! Those vintage ones are special.

I own Aventus, VIW, Original Vetiver, Royal Oud, Millesime Imperial, and Viking Cologne. I want to like GIT and Viking but they're too similar to Cool Water and Old Spice for me. Millesime Imperial is sort of between Erolfa and SMW so I feel like either of those would be redundant (though I do like them). Overall I expect to get 4-5 hours from Creeds, they're not workday fragrances. Creed uses a signature ambergris accord and a "house accord" I've seen described as smoked blackberry that gives everything a sparkly freshness. I think it's the best brand for freshies in terms of actual smells, the imitators all fall short.

My favorite Creed is Bois Du Portugal. This is hardly my most used fragrance but I appreciate it to the greatest degree out of the Creeds that I own and have experienced.

I hated Viking the first time I tried it. Thought it was overly dusty and dry. Fast forward a year and a revamped palate later, I have no idea what I was smelling. Walked by the Creed section in a Nordstrom yesterday and it just called to me. Tried it out and absolutely loved it. Picked up on the nuance of the warm spices mixed with the mint and soft edges of that shave cream type of vibe. Had to buy it. And I'm not even a big Creed guy. But when you're wrong, you're wrong. Happy to be convinced on that one.

I just purchased samples of Millesime Imperial, Aventus Cologne, Original Vetiver and Royal Oud and tested them all. . . honestly, out of all of them, I would have to say I enjoyed Aventus Cologne and Millesime Imperial the most. I'm on the fence with Original Vetiver, just need to test it more. Great vid Justin, keep it up! 👏🏽

My 2yr old bottle of SMW is my favorite. Great performance

When I first bought a bottle of Aventus back in 2011, I remember it was a monster, as well as a fantastic fragrance. Now it doesn’t even compare. The other offerings that I’ve bought did exactly what they were supposed to do and continue to do so. Like original vetiver, fresh light clean. Silver mountain water the same. Royal water will hit hard if you do more than 4 or 5. That used to be my Friday scent. I have since left the Aventus train and I’ve remained on the other offerings.

that mj cameo was fire lmaoooo

Interesting, I was surprised not to see Bois Du Portugal or Erolfa

could you do LV next?

I love Creed. Just wished it lasted longer. I’m selling or have sold most! The ones I am keeping are Green Irish Tweed, Bois Du Portugal, Aventus Cologne and Jardin D’Amalfi.

Silver mountain water & virgin island water are my favorites out of the 7 bottles I own

I have 3 bottles of millesime imperial from 2007(comes with black sprayer) and I can tell you this staff is crazy good and powerful I could smell it for 2 days on my skin it's very expensive now, I have seen it online with $947 but luckily I have 2 sealed bottles and one am using . The new patches with the golden bottle is not really as 50% good.

I tried aventus and performance was so bad I didnt get it. But the cologne is phenomenal for summer and girls love it.

Aventus Cologne is my go-to daily wear office scent. Fresher and lighter than Aventus and I never get self conscious about too much projection in a small meeting room. But my husband loves Aventus and I love it on him.

Been years, need to revisit it

Your number 14 is my number 1 for me and my 18 year old son, to the extent that I bought him one to keep him away from my bottle. Millesime imperial is the signature perfume for the late Emir of Kuwait.

I wish my Creed scents performed for longer because they do smell great. I work primarily in the conifer dominated forests and i really like the way Green Irish Tweed reflects that in my opinion but it just doesn't last very long. Or perhaps I'm just too used to the smell of it. I don't know.

Spice and Wood is my most worn and favorite Creed fragrance. That's it. ✌🏾

Would be interesting to see creed make a warm ambery and sweeter scent, all of their offerings so far are freshies

Honestly I get what he’s saying. I have the same experience with Himalaya. At some point it starts to smell a little weird and a bit, just a bit, nauseating. These aren’t the only two fragrances that this can happen with either so this phenomenon is not exclusive to Creed. If I hope that a fragrance will project but I’m worried that it can be a bit much I’ll usually just spray most of it on my pants or lower limbs if I’m in shorts.

DecantX is legit. Bought a 10ml decant of Love in White for my lady and it had leaked in transit. I asked for 3 ml’s which I’d estimated had leaked but they went ahead and sent me a new 10ml decant. They tape their decants so leakage is extremely rare but I guess that it’s inevitable at some point cause I purchase once a month at least.

@stayfreshproductions

Ай бұрын

There is usually a code printed on the bottom of the back of the bottle, or on the very bottom of the bottle. You can look that code up in online databases like check fresh to figure out the exact time of its manufacture. But with Creeds, the code is usually a 2-digit number followed by a few more digits. Those first two digits usually correspond to the year. For example, 16E01 would be a 2016 batch.

The only Creed fragrances I've smelled are Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, Silver Mountain Water, Bois du Portugal, Himalaya, Original Santal and Virgin Island Water. I really liked Original Santal and only liked Aventus. I currently own some 90ml of Aventus in two bottles. I'm not going to buy another Creed due to shameless price tag.

While watching the disclaimer, I hope you have og vetiver

Sad about your vintage Aventus going flat. Something to keep in mind for anyone out there like me who stresses over using their discontinued/vintage blends. I find myself trying to save the juice because I'll never find it again. I've bought more recent batches and used them BEFORE the OG juice that I enjoy more. This isn't the way we should be thinking. We should use that old juice. Life is short, and you bought it for a reason. Use it up... enjoy it! It won't last forever!

I splurged on Aventus back in 2017 and was surprised by the cheap plastic cap that rattled around when clicked in place. $375 and cheap presentation= unacceptable. GIT wasnt as bad but dang, Creed.

Creed is my favorite niche house overall. My favorite is Silver Mountain water. My wife calls it sex in a bottle. Her favorite fragrance ever. And out of almost 200 fragrances, I have decants of or full bottles. This's the only one she says I need. My second would be a tie between Erolfa and Mellisime Imprerial (both don't last more than 1-2 hours on me). Aventus isn't one of my favorites. But the Aventus DNA is my most complimented. Whether the original or a clone. So if feel like getting attention, I wear that DNA.

Erolfa is my favorite.

Originally it's 'Royal', 'Virgin Island' and 'Silver Mountain', but after reformulations (i.e. watering down) they added 'Water' to their names in order to adapt them to their new performance. 🤷 (Not true of course. 😉)

This is your calling for Creed to send you more bottles 😂

possibly my favorite series so far

Bois de Portugal, can't believe it didn't make your list. Legend has it, that it was Frank Sinatra's scent. Now I don't know if that matters to you or not, hell, I don't even know if it matters to me. BUT back in the day, he and his Rat Pack was considered the epitome of cool. But what I do know is that if I had a choice between GIT, MI, and BDP. It would be BDP. It is soooo SEXY. GIT and even MI are more versatile as it is definitely a cold weather fragrance. I mean bite in the air fragrance. I can't wait to buy for my boyfriend and just bury my face in his chest all winter (he wasn't my bf last winter that's the only reason he doesn't have already). So I don't know if I have made a strong enough case for BDP but trust me, BDP is that good good.
