Your adherence to Eau des Merveilles is well-founded and appreciated; completely underrated. My girlfriend wears it and smells delightful. It's her respite from the sickly-sweet perfumes typically are directed at her gender. It's fresh, bright, and such a pure citrus that holds up well in high heat. The Merveilles bottle design alone is a work of art.
Original Vibrant leather edt, Parfums vintage vanilla intense, parfums vintage emporer edp, CDNI and cedrat boise my top 5. Looking forward to smelling the intense version of cedrat boise.
Great video and I enjoyed it and Creed Aventus is one of my favorite fragrances of all time it's a 10 out of 10 in my opinion and I like Mont Blanc Explorer and Mancera Cedrat Biose as well and have a blessed day
Sir. First...your new(er) look is fantastic. It has been an absolute pleasure to witness the growth and transformation(s) of both yourself and the channel. Second (and as usual)...great video! Your videos are always a breath of fresh, intellectual air. The kind of air found only at the highest of mountain-tops, where ancient philosophers once pondered the great conundrums of the Earth and the stars.
I like to think 1000 years from now some high school student will be tasked to analyze ancient TH-cam videos and when the unsuspecting soul encounters fragtube they’ll wonder who “Jeremy Fragrance” is and why he’s mentioned in almost every video. LOL Anyway, nice video, George. Looking forward to the next 90 and whatever your next project is.
Manarola!!! That’s an episode I would go crazy if made. It was a dream destination for me. I visualized it, painted it, and in 2014 I got to actually visit it. It was one of the best moments in my life. I’ll be looking forward for the episode. The more I watch your content the more I appreciate you. Since April last year till now and it doesn’t get boring.
IO-KO 23 I blindly bought after seeing one of your vids on summer fragrances you loved. It was pricey, but it’s fantastic! Never been so happy to blind buy a fragrance. Definitely like Aventus but with an Italian twist with the sicilian fruits. Montblanc explorer is definitely my go to during the summer. You can’t go wrong with the pricepoint and quality.
George, looking forward to your Mirage 23 review video from Manerola Italy, you totally deserve it, Mate. No one could do it like you can, or better than you will. All the best, I'd wish 'good luck' as you had asked, but life is skill not luck, and as the Bard said, "Fortune favors the Bold".
Great vids as always. This crazy year is coming to an end you should do a Fragrance Awards 2021. Rank your best new 2021 fragrance and give the award to the overall best for things such as PRICE VALUE, LONGEVITY, SILLAGE...ect
Imho Terre de Hermes Edt isn't new but is definitely a worthy alternative to Aventus as both smell great in the air and have an alluring drydown. I'd go as far to say that TDH edt just leaps ahead in terms of compliments.
I got io.ko 1954 i mirage 23 as soon as you described it in one of your videos as italian aventus. You really know perfumes so trusting you completely when i did a blindbuy still felt safe and i did this without catching a whiff of aventus. Id look at Eau des merveilles next given your recommendation. :)
I got it for $50 but that’s not important, what’s important that it’s my most complimented fragrance ever. I couldn’t believe how often I was being stopped, followed or approached by absolute strangers, and told how amazing I smell and asked what I’m wearing.
Yeeaa bro its not, cdnim is pure garbage. I am not saying that i am creed aventus fanboy, price is absolute insane and stuff is every year weaker.. but CDNIM hype is beyound me, lavanture is atleast decent, cdnim is pure synthehic mess
Yay, great video. I put Explorer and Cendrat Boise on each hand before watching. The weird thing is, Explorer smells better to me now in than it did in the summer. Still, Mancera all the way.
Eau De Merveilles is a lovely scent but I found it too feminine for me. I ended up buying L'ombre de Merveilles instead, which to me is also amazing! Very underrated line in general. Thanks for recommending it, George!
Aventus is the “Stairway to Heaven” of fragrances. It’s a classic, and sooooooo played out. But it will also never get old and will always have fans. Great video as usual, George! 🤟
Played out? By who? The fragcom maybe but not the general public. I've never met anyone in my normal everyday life that's ever heard of aventus let alone creed.
@@fallguy6196 Yeah, same here. I always get compliments when I go out wearing Aventus and everyone that smells it says they've never smelt it anywhere else before.
YUUUUP! Is all I can add. Best description and take an C's A ever. Food for thought, well stated, and accurate. Time will bear you out as it continues to tell the tale. Aka just like StH, Hate to love it, alive to hate it, the constant is "Damn, always enjoyable and hits the spot in its proper time and place. Well stated!
My girlfriend just got a Hermes gift set that included eau des merveilles and honestly, what a great recommendation in this video. Definitely on the list for 2022.
I have Explorer and I’ve had Aventus. They are not that similar to my nose. I actually preferred Explorer to the version of Aventus that I had a couple of years ago
.. Thank God! I got Eau Des Marveilles even before you started talking about it my lord! At first, I didn't get it. I almost released it to a friend. It would have been one of my greatest mistakes in frag journey!.. Thank you, your highness.
I have Elixir des Merveilles and L'Ombre des Merveilles, I love both of them and wear them in the autumn. I also like Eau des Merveilles Bleue, but it doesn't last on me. Eau des Merveilles doesn't work on me and it doesn't last, but I like the way it smells on paper.
The apprentice is back. He’s got the look back, he’s got his “studio” instead of nature (Fragmental is better at that), he’s cocky, he’s opinionated, he’s crass, he tells it as he sees it, and he educated us. Let’s hope he doesn’t go away again to Hobbit Land.
Are you crazy? His outdoor videos are AMAZING! Silage, 5 Fragrances for an hour, Tobacco Vanille, Oud Wood etc etc Chris is brilliant too, but George is an artist
You should make a video with Chris (Fragmental) outdoors with Witer/Christmas fragrances. Something like the last video you did a while ago posted in Fragmental chanel i cant remember in what city it was but i remember that i enjoyed that one a lot, the combo with beeing outdoors and later in the coffee shop. You make awesome content anyway, Thank you.
I have NEVER put my nose to aventus or a direct clone but I do own cedrat boise without knowing how close it really is to aventus. the Hermes to me seems to me like the one to go for first naturally
Explorer smells like the 2020 batches of Aventus thats true but not like the 2011 till 2018 batches 😃 my further adventure would be Nishane Ani and/or Eucris by Geo F Trumper 😉
I have Cedrat Boise, blind bought it several month ago and from the first sniff I was thinking … this is a lot like Aventus. Have also CDNMI and not really that keen on that
I cannot support this video without a re-edit including a dirty tub and a not to be mentioned clone house with their 75 iterations that have "amped up musk" or what have you. Either way I always look forward to a FA video. Always
Better in what way? CDNIM lasts longer on the skin and is stronger than Explorer. Maybe too strong. But side by side, Explorer smells like its just much higher quality. Its less synthetic and simply smells more expensive. I own both and I prefer Explorer.
well i have my 3 aventus like scents zara vibrant leather for the gym , CDIM for work and aventus itself for the off days :) i have a decant of cedrat boise but i dont like that one dont shoot me please XD
Unfortunately the hermes recomendacione didn't agree whit my skin neither whit my headache I do onw many many fragrances niche designers even independent ones The hermes it's one of the most difficult fragrances to me to ware it I did try it many times I just can't stomach it Also give me headache I don't know why???
I smelt maybe 5 or 6 Aventus clones or similar DNA’s to Aventus before I smelt the real thing, and the disappointment was real... it somehow smelt worse than Cedrat Boise, CDNIM and Hacivat, and also performed way less than any of them, I got maybe an hour tops before it had pretty much gone. Complete waste of money and stupidly over priced for a bang average scent.

This guy is a great reviewer and I’d highly recommend his channel.
Best in the game. I'm not taking about Aventus

Quite similar to Aventus and AMAZING: Loewe Essencia EDP. A must try!
Very Nice George!...I have been waiting for this for ages!
Havicat , explorer, cedrat boise, parfums vintage extrait and cdnim limited edition.
Great spot dropping Mars from the Planets suite. Exquisite taste George!
Always happy to see the brilliant masterpiece that is Eau des Mervilles get the love it deserved for the last 17 years!

CDNIM limited edition is $ 60 for 3.4 oz and after 20 minutes smells exactly like Adventus for 7 hours :) I have tested side by side multiple times :)
Yeah or mont blanc explorer. Both cheaper and longer lasting. Aventus last 4hrs for me new formulation sucks.
@ I did the EDT is $ 30 USD for 3.4 oz and is very close as well but only lasts 4 hours

@@LoLeQ88 have you sprayed one on each hand 5 days in a row ?
What about Navitus Primas!? It has mango note instead of the pineapple!
Yay, great video. I put Explorer and Cendrat Boise on each hand before watching. The weird thing is, Explorer smells better to me now in than it did in the summer. Still, Mancera all the way.
Explorer in my experience, i noticed 8 weeks maceration after i sprayed it, i noticed it got stronger and smoother.
Lorenzo Pazzaglia- Pax
Best pineapple: Frederic Malle- Music for a while, HdP- 1804
That Office bit dropped me to the floor LOL
tbh Office does have Aventus similarities. Funny clip when u were bringing it out with the background music hahah
Eau De Merveilles is a lovely scent but I found it too feminine for me. I ended up buying L'ombre de Merveilles instead, which to me is also amazing! Very underrated line in general. Thanks for recommending it, George!
Try Poseidon’s Private Reserve: Whiskey by Dua Fragrances. 40 yr old Glenfiddich Single Malt Whiskey accord plus Aventus DNA. OUTSDTANDING! 👌👍💪
Smelled eau des merveilles years ago but smell too feminine for me. Ended up instead with l'ambre des merveilles. Beautiful amber scent.
Love this recommendation format. I’m amazed that no other reviewer has shamelessly ripped it off.

When you pulled out Office for men I said Oh My God! out loud and made my wife concerned. LOL. Fantastic as always George.
I love this channel
Who said explorer doesn't smell like aventus? Smell 2021 aventus and then smell explorer there is absolutely no difference between them.
Off topic, on your reco I picked up Sunset Riot from All Saints. On a $50 early black Friday deal. It is some good stuff.
Awesome research, awesome information 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
Blind bought Eau Des Merveilles. Felt that it was a ladies' Terre D'Hermes. Gave it to the wife and she absolutely adores it.
Rasasi's Qasamat Rasana is a great Aventus twist fragrance, with a terrific green apple top note.
The only reason I don't to criticize you because you said explorer is your personal preference. It seems you don't like armaf CDNIM at all.
The apprentice is back. He’s got the look back, he’s got his “studio” instead of nature (Fragmental is better at that), he’s cocky, he’s opinionated, he’s crass, he tells it as he sees it, and he educated us. Let’s hope he doesn’t go away again to Hobbit Land.

Silage, 5 Fragrances for an hour, Tobacco Vanille, Oud Wood etc etc

Good plot twist George 👍 wasn't expecting that 😅😁
Tried that Hermes at the mall, gotta say it seems like for me it underlines the best part of Aventus dna 🧬
Mbt explorer has a weak projection that last for 1h and longetivity only about 2-3 hours max
There once was a hugo boss fragrance called Elements Aqua that also used pineapple as a main note.
I have NEVER put my nose to aventus or a direct clone but I do own cedrat boise without knowing how close it really is to aventus. the Hermes to me seems to me like the one to go for first naturally
One of my favorite lines of yours, is when you said, "People buy so many clones of Aventus, that it adds up to the cost of actually buying Aventus."
Yes….only that people now have 10 of them versus 1. Sounds like a great deal.
I saw your thumbnail and ran to make a cup of coffee 😂
What about Pete and Pedro Rebel????
When even the current creed aventus smells like an off-brand clone of the old creed aventus, why not go for the actual clones instead.
Explorer smells like the 2020 batches of Aventus thats true but not like the 2011 till 2018 batches 😃 my further adventure would be Nishane Ani and/or Eucris by Geo F Trumper 😉
Honestly when I want pineapple. I reach for Bond no 9 the scent of peace for him
I have Cedrat Boise, blind bought it several month ago and from the first sniff I was thinking … this is a lot like Aventus. Have also CDNMI and not really that keen on that
If you could buy Explorer for the price of Cool Water, that would be nice
I've been looking for a bowling fragrance.
I have like 10 frags, and eau des merveilles is one of them. And I LOVE it
Guesses: CDNIM (EDP), Mont Blanc Explorer, and Cedrat Boise will make an appearance... I'll be most interested in 4 & 5. Thanks George.
Hacivat
@ Interesting one Hacivat. Another one I bought then sold on as it didn't blow me away
Mars by Gustav Holst. Great music choice 👌
I cannot support this video without a re-edit including a dirty tub and a not to be mentioned clone house with their 75 iterations that have "amped up musk" or what have you.
Either way I always look forward to a FA video. Always
You will never be a journeyman until you embrace creed my friend.
Creed is the Humpty Dumpty of the fragrance world.
Oh we’ve been waiting all right George
How is the performance of montblanc explorer
When is that 45 minute creed video coming
Cdnim is a better clone than explorer.
Better in what way? CDNIM lasts longer on the skin and is stronger than Explorer. Maybe too strong. But side by side, Explorer smells like its just much higher quality. Its less synthetic and simply smells more expensive. I own both and I prefer Explorer.
Maybe the older batches where better I have the 21 batch and it doesn't last neither projects and smells way worse than explorer.
Explorer is a compliment beast if you over spray because it doesn't last long but if you get the 200 ml you won't care it's a bargain
Hmmmm...just wondering how ISO E SUPER would smell if it was made by Acqua di Parma :)
Have you already done a If you like Dior Homme Original?
"Sir, we have reason to believe that an Explorer/Aventus similarity denier lives on the premises. Would you happen to know anything about that?"
Really great channel.
Is rasasi zebra still a good clone for aventus?
Sorry, did you say Cool Water by Davidoff smells like Irish Tweed. Genuine question. If it is then I might pick up a bottle from B&M.
Yes, sort of, both great

@@DWdawgable It's really not that good. Boise has this oily leather note that is so off. Especially with all the fresh elements.
