Gotta agree, Viking is one of the best. I'm glad fragcomm is largely hating it, maybe the "dude-bros" out there will stay away from this scent and we can enjoy it without their incessant attitudes.
Jane Foster I still don’t understand why Aventus is adored by so many people. It smells like an old man fragrance. It’s not appealing at all to any of the women I’ve let smell it. I think it’s overpriced for what it is.
Great review Al, respect. I would have (in regards to smell, not longevity or anything else) 5. Erolfa. 4. Silver Mountain Water. 3. Aventus. 2. Original Vetiver. 1. Green Irish Tweed. That's my top 5 Creed's and I've been wearing creed for over 10 years now. Spraying O.V once in a UK department store got me hooked! I have been to the Creed Boutique in New York, met Louis and he sold me a 120ml Aventus. Loved the guy, he explained everything I needed to know about Creed. Anyway, respect Al. More videos please! Tony from UK. 👍
Great video bro! Man you made me laugh when you was talking about wearing Aventus and how many sprays you use...When I first wore Aventus I put 3 sprays on and everyone at work could smell me before they seen me. Lol.
Ronaldo Neuville I agree with your top 3. Not so much the next two, but everyone has differences a bit. I’d take silver mountain water over VIW, and I’d take Himalaya at number 5.
My top 5: 1. Creed Silver Mountain Water (can't believe it didn't make your top 5 list) This is my favorite fragrance of all 2. Creed Aventus 3. Creed Millesime Imperial 4. Creed Viking (yes i like it, and i'm glad that there are people that don't, so it doesn't get played out) 5. Creed Royal Oud (a lil different, in a good way) I also like Virgin Island Water, but think Millesime Imperial is better. Honestly, I don't like GIT that much. Santal is just ok, nothing special. Creed in my opinion makes the best fragrances, with Tom Ford being second best.
AL.... is this Virgin Island Water a newer batch than the so called "limey batch" ? And if so, is it more coconutty ? Because I really love the coconut vibe I got from the batch that came out before the limey one, and I was slightly disappointed with the limey batch. Could u plz answer plz :-)
Favs that I've used thus far, 1. Original Santal-sweet with a bit of berry and cinnamon 1.5 Royal Mayfair-fresh, different, sweet 2. Royal Mountain water-i wait 45 mins for scent to come to life
Dude idk for u but for me there is something with the blending of Creed that no designer can match. So far. A lil bit like if a top notch designer fragrance was a Perfect bowl of fruits next to a yougurt but the Creed bottle was that Perfectly blended smoothie version of it. U cant see where ur apples are from ur peaches, mixed with that yougurt, but u can taste them all. lol. Yes u pay top dollar but u get top blending and quality. Thanks for sharing ur favorites!
Hey man how many compliments do you get using Viking? I dont know if I like it or hate it lol its something about viking that keeps me interested, But a lot of female friends tell me that smells like an old man, but eventually they end up liking it (without knowing its viking) at the dry down. Im a 28 year old dude and I dont know if it will suit me. I need to make a decision to buy 2 of 3 ( GIT , SMW and Viking)
I like some Creed fragrances but the big problem for me is the bad performance, on me they do not last long.. Aventus last about 4 hours the lighter ones 3-4 hours which is very bad for the price they ask for it is not worth it. My fav tho are 5. Royal mayfer 4. MI 3. SMW 2. Aventus 1. GIT and GIT last 6-7 hours on my skin which is not bad
SMW is my favorite from Creed, but I don't wear it that often, same with Aventus. So far in 2018, I wore Viking more than any other. I also wore EROLFA quite a bit during the Spring/Summer months. I expect to wear Creed Royal Oud often as the weather cools down.
Agree with that Aventus... everyone tries to copy that scent profile. Take John Varvatos Artisan Pure, for example... very close, but it's no match. I'll add VI Water, Green Irish Tweed, and Viking to my collection.
al, i'm glad to see you still kicking out videos, my man: respect! since you've been around a while, i know i can trust your opinion: is royal mayfair really that close to old school windsor? i bought a flacon of the second release of windsor, but haven't tried royal mayfair.
My favorite is probably obvious Next is tough but Aventus (my batch really just doesn't last at all) MI is a close third, OS, OV, VIW, Royal Oud. The bigger question would be if there's one I don't like. I need to get my hands on Sublime Vanille, Erolfa and Himalaya. The Creeds are what got me into frags. I couldn't wear much before I discovered them as I was really sensitive to fragrances. I think there is something distinctly natural and delicate about their compositions.
@FRAGRANCEFANATIC1 I agree with you on Viking! On first sniff I was intrigued and open minded.. after a week I understood it more and now love it and think it's genius! Gets me regular compliments and I just love getting whiffs of it on me!
Hi Al. I️ was recently in Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹 and I️ found an Aventus clone that I️ believe to be the best. I’ve tried them all. This is from the company Aqua Di Taormina and it’s called Petra Lavica. I️ bought a bottle and they gave me a sample with my bottle. If you want I️ can send you the sample. Let me know.
My preference changes based on day / time / season / occasion / Company et al like many of you but here is what I am thinking right now (1st to 5th in that order of preference) Viking / Millesime Imperial / Aventus / Original Santal/ Original Vetiver ...BTW these are the creeds I own 😄
My top 5: 1-Aventus 2-Silver Mountain Water (really close second!) 3-Virgin Island Water 4-GIT 5-Millesime Imperial (remarkable opening, and then goes to shit)
6 to 10 sprays of Aventus??? LOL! wow. I do 3 sprays and people are rolling down windows. I only do one blast. Royal Oud gets more compliments than Aventus on my skin. Silver mountain water gets a ton of compliments too for some reason.
FRAGRANCEFANATIC1 I agree 💯 Appreciate u keeping it real, Most reviewers say 2-4 sprays bla bla bla... Don't believe it lol! We all know errbody be spraying 10+ lol.
MY NON-CREED TOP 5 5: Dunhill Icon 4: Valentino Uomu ( Original ) 3: Christian Dior Homme Eau For Men 2: Hugo Boss In Motion ( Original ) 1: Christian Dior Homme Intense
5.- Bois Du Portugal, 4.- Royal Mayfair, 3.- Silver Mountain Water, 2.- Green Irish Tweed and 1.- Aventus. Honorable Mentions: Spice & Wood and Viking.
Your honorable mentions are easily the best 2 creeds out there in my opinion and get me more compliments than the rest. Especially spice & wood plays in a different league.
Man my one question is how do you make a top list from the house of Creed and Spice and Wood is left out!!!!???? EXPECIALLY when viking is listed which is not on the same level in fall fragrance terms.. just baffles me..
I currently do not own Spice & Wood out of the 100 Creed bottles I own lol. I had some decants which I already finished. It is a solid fragrance that's for sure.
I must say though I I did not like Viking, from the initial spray and the performance throughout the day ,to me, it's almost like Old Spice the kind of smell you get from the bathroom once your granddad has been there and had a bath and a shave. It's an ok smell but very different, not for the younger generation as far as I'm concerned and I'm not going to purchase it.
Viking is a beast performs great. And smells better than Aventus. I get much more compliments from Viking. Underrated because of the high price nothing else.
Cameron Pouncie It's not bad but not in the league of Aventus/GIT/Bouis du Portugal and many others from the same house. But some people are hyping it up. I feel it's mediocre .Just my opinion.
Let me see how many different ways I can repeat myself. 9 minute video should have been 3 minutes. Really not trying to knock you as much as offer some advice.
bullshit. People got jobs because of Aventus. LOL Q:sir what skills do you have that qualify you for this position? A: I wear a mass produced overpriced fragrance, Aventus. Job’s yours!

MI is a close third, OS, OV, VIW, Royal Oud.
The bigger question would be if there's one I don't like. I need to get my hands on Sublime Vanille, Erolfa and Himalaya. The Creeds are what got me into frags.

6-10 sprays? That sounds crazy. For me: one spray and the whole office can smell it. 9 hours later people still get whiffs of it.
That's how I do it. I can't get enough of Aventus.
FRAGRANCEFANATIC1
I agree 💯
Appreciate u keeping it real, Most reviewers say 2-4 sprays bla bla bla... Don't believe it lol! We all know errbody be spraying 10+ lol.
el3dlu agreed. I did 3 sprays of t01 batch and it was way too much. 2 sprays is perfect
2 sprays is good for me.
STREET SCENTS 6-10 of aventus..... you're choking people out fam.
Royal Mayfair smells like a 19th century grandma, I don't see how anyone could wear this and in which situation especially.

Lots of cheap knock offs out there.I would't even trust some reputable stores to have the real thing.That's a pity.
Green Valley is much better than GIT imo.
¿No "Royal Oud"? 😂
Viking is very very overrated.

Viking sucks

1st 😃
Sorry bud but you lost me at VIKING. That cologne smell bad in my skin
Viking wtf
Are you kiddin now ??
Viking is easily in top 3 best creeds.
better than Aventus.
The price isn't the reason why I don't like Viking. The reason I don't like it is because to me it just smells horrible. Plain and simple.

2 royal oud
3 millesime imperial
4 Erolfa
5 virgin island water
viking no... nothing special... at all...
Disagree only with Mayfair. This stuff makes me want to hurl. Eau du Nursing Home all the way. Has an astringent geriatric vibe. 🤢
glad i'm not alone ....but don't insult old people...perhaps they are wearing MI or Aventus...on scents ...no age..:o)
