Although there are six particular Creed fragrances that I enjoy wearing out of the fourteen that I've tried, I always return to wearing Aventus (two or three times per week), and Green Irish Tweed (once per week on average) after "giving them a break" (which isn't very long - for two or three weeks, typically). These two scents get the most positive response from friends and strangers, though I'm really wearing it because I enjoy the creations, themselves. Of course, I "like" that it pleases others along with what I may be wearing at the time, especially since I see fragrances as a fashionable accessory to set or reaffirm a tone. [As a side note, I typically dress in darker colored clothing and prefer sweeter and/or textured scents with them, whereas, when I'm wearing something brighter - especially with a white shirt - I'll tend towards something with a prominent citrus. I do have synesthesia, however - so, it probably has much to do with it, and comes along with my senses as a musician, as well.] And, because I prefer colder, cloudier weather, as opposed to hot and sunny (I might as well mention that I happen to be photophobic as well - ha), there are some other Creed fragrances that I only wear in a cooler climate (or, indoors though air conditioning, though I keep my car like an icebox on wheels, throughout the year); namely: Viking and Royal Oud. The various spices work so well in general, but best with colder temperatures and low humidity. Himalaya is also worth mentioning, since I found it to be very interesting for something natural that reads as sharp but not abrasive in the area of cedar (though, it reminds me of smoke and honeysuckle accents), and is great in warmer weather, along with Millésime Impérial, which I was surprised to find a reminder of GIT within. Royal Mayfair, on the other hand, was simply "impossible" for me to get through an hour of wearing, due to the eucalyptus which was like a burnt rubber medicinal chemical made for an eccentric older woman from the eighteenth century. It was a case of my wanting to like the scent for the story more than the story being that I didn't like the scent. One fragrance that I'm surprised was missing from this lineup, though, is Bois du Portugal. It's amazing. If this hasn't been reviewed on the Gentleman's Gazette as of yet, I highly suspect that it will be appreciated for the lavender, vetiver and ambergris (among other wood notes). Once I tried it, I was immediately impressed with how much of a class act it exuded. It has longevity, but didn't overstay its welcome, so to speak, and is so well crafted with an array of gentlemanly accords that I tend to believe the story of how it was, supposedly, Frank Sinatra's favorite scent to wear. There is one last thing that I do feel compelled to mention about this episode, though. It's that I've heard and read that it's best not to rub a cologne or perfume into the skin when applying. It can, inadvertently, destroy certain molecules within the top notes, especially, and compromise the integrity of the fragrance as a whole. There will, most likely, be those who will disagree with my saying that (which is fine), but this is what I've learned from a number of perfumers over the years. I would think that people are accustomed to rubbing them in because of also doing so with aftershave lotions and such, but I would advise against it for safety's sake. With that said, thank you for reading my comment (I didn't actually "intend" on writing a book), and thanks as always for the entertaining and informative channel. I greatly appreciate it!

I've tried many niche fragrances over the past few months. It all started when i heard from y'all about how great Green Irish tweed was. That one didn't become a staple for me, but Creed became one of my favorite brands with Roja tied for first. They are relatively easy to wear and generally very high quality and natural smelling. Never pay full price, never buy a batch of Aventus without seeing reviews for that batch (terrible batch variation.) Aventus Cologne is my daily driver- fresh and clean, sporty and and with the right amount of a designer vibe. Original aventus is loud and fruity in a masculine way, i wear it when i want to be more socially galvanized and come across more friendly. Always sample before you buy. Never rely on anyone else's review. And when you sample wear it multiple times- some things i dont like at first become a favorite and vice a versa.

Loved the video! Indeed, very rare to have all of these together. I've sampled most of these myself (not sure if all of them though) and my favorite so far is Royal Oud. There are Creed scents that suffer from poor performance (like Millesime Imperiale and Silver Mountain Water), but Royal Oud smells fantastic and performs very well for me too. Aventus is one that I like as well and wear often, but it's a bit more mass appealing and more pedestrian than Royal Oud. Erolfa I also enjoy, but it's a bit less versatile than the other 2 I mentioned. A bit more of a summer scent. Green Irish Tweed is one that I really don't enjoy. The opening is really nice, but for me, it dries down into what I can only describe as freshly chopped parsley. While I love some parsely for garnish on my food, I don't really fancy smelling like it all day 😅

Here’s a tip for everyone that will save a ton of money AND not smell like fragrance bomb. In my opinion, cologne is not for yourself. It is not your ‘personal statement’. Cologne should be worn for other people. Because they are the ones that smell you. Once you put on cologne. The initial burst of smell disappears. For you. You go nose blind to it. But, guess what. Other still smell you. Thus, you wear cologne for other people. Not yourself. Get over yourself. Wearing a cologne bomb is selfish and narcissistic. How to buy cologne? Go shopping with someone. Don’t go alone. Why? Because remember, you’re wearing cologne for other people. The same cologne with smell different on every single person. Yeah. Every single person. Why? Because we aren’t all cloned. We are individuals each with a unique body chemistry. Hence, different natural body odor. If you’re serious about finding your cologne suited for you. Just spay one on your body. I spray it on the front of my shirt. The very fine mist and walk through it.then let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Walk around etc. Build up a little exertion to get your body odor going. Then have your friend smell you and see if it agrees with you or not. Ideally and realistically, you can only do one cologne at a time. Because colognes last a long time. And putting on more than one will just muddle the smells together. My wife has literally selected every cologne for me. Why? Now you’re getting it. It’s for her. Not me. I wear what she likes. She’s the one that will smell me. Not myself. Unless you don’t care about what others think of your smell. Sure. Get whatever you like. You’ll just be ‘that guy’ that wears too much of the wrong cologne. And be the behind the scenes joke. Good luck y’all.

Aventus smelled significantly different from it's initial release than it does today (its been improved). MI has changed a lot also and used to be much stronger and left a trail. Every time I wear it I wish I had gone with GIT instead. Royal Mayfair belongs on the list somewhere. VIW and SMW smell cheap and toxic. Don't care about the others except maybe Viking.

Buying a Creed fragrance is akin to buying a solid gold spoon. It does the job just as well as a cheap spoon, but at a much higher pricepoint. At least with a solid gold spoon, the cost to manufacture somewhat justifies the price. I suppose it's more like buying a regular spoon with a cool logo on it and paying the price of a solid gold spoon.
