I love Adrian he is so kind and charming, and his descriptions of fragrance are absolutely perfect! Also, you guys had such a great discussion, really great video!
I knew that was something in Green Irish Tweed in the base that gave that earthy/rooty fog-like smell, it was the vetiver. The opening of Green Irish Tweed is so so different from the dry down.
My three favorite Creed fragrances are Viking, Bois du Portugal, and Green Irish Tweed. I have tried others, but these three are the ones that have stayed.
I only own Royal Oud . It’s the best thing I’ve smelled to be unique . I’m looking forward to collect more from Creed. I’ve sampled Green Irish tweed, silver mountain water, erolfa, viking. They good but GIT and silver mountain water are next in my collection .
No no my friend you can get 100ml full presentations through Facebook groups, fashion apps, and online sites for anywhere from 10%-70% - you can buy partial bottles and testers also. Just dig a little!
Aventus and Original Santal are so nice :) But I personally would rather buy Montblanc Explorer and Montblanc Individuel as they’re almost like those 2 Creeds but without spending £300 on a bottle 😳 (2nd comment except for Robin’s one if anyone cares lol)
@@PruthviPrakash00 good choice as well. Ive been complimented many times with my club de nuit and rarely while wearing Aventus. Loved both though but if budgets tight the go with Armaf. Same smell on air.
Creeds pricing structure and availability in the states is awful. I enjoy the brand and it’s offerings but am always on the fence due to the aforementioned.
I really like the host is walking though fragrances which are not top sellers. I have feeling we're really exploring niche. Normally that would be a take on aventus. Good stuff. I really appreciate that.
Except for viking cologne (which is the actual hidden gem in the video) all of the ones they mentioned are top sellers, GIT, SMW, Aventus, VIW all top sellers actually.
Love the video Robin great Insight, with all the talk of sandal wood in the video I was wondering what colour would you associate with sandalwood? Suits many fragrances so well but to me it always reminds me of a smooth gold. Great base for any fragrance!
Love Aventus for her but was also really hoping to enjoy Millesime imperial.. sadly was not my type in the end, glad I got a littlw tester before purchase!!!
@@cosmicgirl2761 I don’t think I’ll be buying it any time soon then! Maybe I’ll get a sample of it. I’m currently wearing a sample of Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud.
You gained a subscriber I really enjoy your fragrance content however I feel that the 5 fragrances mentioned didn’t stray into the darker side of Creed which I am more curious about
I like creed but it's a bit too expensive for me at least, and I hear, hand made bottle and I can't help but think "I don't care" if making the bottle by machine would reduce the price they should, haha. Just my opinion of course, I know that they're going for top tier market
I saw your review of maroccanoil moulding cream, I bought it and love it. I am wondering if you know any similar product with a little bit more shiny finish?
Perfectly agree with Virgin Island Water, Aventus, and Silver Mountain Water, as long as you can get an older batch that does actually last. Viking cologne is absolute mehh. Green Irish Tweed wonderful classic, and does actually last. Spice and Wood should have been on the list. Creed can stuff their US and UK prices though.
@@michaelmanning647 Sadly for example for Aventus even older batches are okay, but nothing beast performance. The ones worth getting aren't avaiable or only at a pathetic price sadly. Which creeds are you looking to buy?
@@michaelmanning647 There was a guy selling a full 125ml vintage batch of it on ebay for 250, and i believe it didn't sell, so might still have it. He was UK based, are you UK too?
Creed makes some quality fragrances, but most of them are still considered very 'mature' for most people under 45. They remind us of something our grandfather would wear to church on Sunday. There are a few exceptions, but scents like Viking, GIT (to a point), Royal Oud/Water and most others just feel...dated. Sure Aventus came out and was, and maybe still is, king, but the world is moving past it now. And even the sweeter scents (VIW, MI, etc) have a very limited fan base. Their latest attempts to appeal to the younger crowd, with the cologne formulations of Aventus and Viking, are still quality and imbue some pep to established accords...but definitely aren't strong enough to justify the cost. Aventus Cologne, specifically, is a skin scent within a few hours, and just a subtle vanilla note at that. That's not worth $350, or even the $250 from online discounters.
I 100% agree with what you say. Also the scents that would have the potential to be viewed as relatively modern like SMW and MI, unfortunately perform so badly.
Mature as in 30+, not 45+ lol. Aventus, original santal, original vetiver, Viking Cologne, Virgin Island Water, Royal Oud all very classy and or fun in a modern way. Creed has some old fashioned stuff like viking, royal mayfair, green irish tweed and Bois du Portugal but that’s like 20-30% of their offerings. Most of creeds currently sold lineup is very contemporary imo.
Robin i hope to see you at Scent Explorer 2021! Its just would be the same without you there! Your a very very cool awesome person! Max the man has done it again! The guy is incredible really! Love Max! Hope you come to the show!
@@ManForHimself Glad you registered Robin! I quickly read what you said then responded with a stupid answer! Sorry i need to slow down and read things first! see you there!
what the hell is the guy talking about? describing aventus with no pineapple or birch, but green apple (yes I know it contains apple, too) only, sandalwood (what?) and tonka bean? I’m sure he confused it with „aventus for her“?!
Robbo, I'll let you into a secret. Just a couple of hours ago I nipped into town and a gentleman of Irish persuasion was in the street selling bottles of Creed Aventus for 20 quid each. For 20 quid I thought I'd risk it, whilst all the way home thinking when I open this up there's going to be a lump of coal in there. But it turned out to be totally legit. There are some days the universe smiles on us.
What on earth is this guy going on about??? Alexander the great? i thought it was Napolean? and since when does Creed Aventus have tonka been in it?pineapple note is the one its famous for.; no mention of that. Its not Sandalwood either its actually Birch. this guy is no creed expert; he's a charlatan.
Jean Christophe Herault is the perfumer bevind Aventus, Alberto Morillas Aventus for her Pierre Bourdon Green Irish Tweed and many more Keep the lie alive Creed ... Now that BlackRock owns the Company everything is watered down 🤦♂️
Did that salesman not read his homework? 🤣🤣 he mentioned the least prominent notes in Aventus 🤷♂️ what about pineapple, patchouli, birch tar or Ambergris? And I thought Aventus paid homage to Napoleon not Alexander the great....what is going on here? And how is green Irish tweed a "hidden gem"?
Creed's Aventus pays homage to iconic leaders such as Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte whose achievements left a triumphant and vibrant legacy that is still felt today. FYI 😂
@@vargasdunhillteddy9392 do your own. When it was first released in 2010 it was an homage to Napoleon period. If some dick revised it since then 🤷♂️ not sure, but it was 100% Napoleon.
@@ragnarlothbrok938 he didn't seem very knowledge or articulate. He seemed to repeat a lot of what the interviewer mentioned (who incidentally appeared way more informed on the products being discussed imo). Nothing personal against him, I just think he did a poor job representing the fragrances.
I'm not gonna lie, but with Creed's fragrances getting more watered down with each batch while the price keeps getting hiked up, they're a hard pass for me. Especially with the fact that some clone houses have become better at making Creed fragrances than Creed. At fraction of the price. The Creed family sold their fragrance brand for a reason.
Bro Green Irish Tweed is just the worst fragrance instead u can go for Parfum de Marley Balloway just more fresh and suttle. A big no no for Green Irish Tweed
Let’s be honest Robin. This house is WAY overpriced. Yes, for the most part the fragrances are pleasant but generic, watered down and forgettable . If you are paying a premium price then you should get a premium product. Not so with Creed, at least not anymore. If you want pleasant, long lasting scents that use quality ingredients, you are better of spending your hard earned cash on houses like Parfums de Marley, Xerjoff, Initio and Frederic Malle. . .
Yes Creed was good 2 or even 3 decades ago... When I was growing up. Now it's watered down and nobody noticed 😭 it when you wear it .. silver , white bottled ones were disappointment.
Creed is a rip off. For 300 you get a product that is so watered down that what was once a beast is now a mouse in hiding. They should be ashamed of themselves but than again you don't become a millionaire by playing nice.
Love robin but , that creed fella knew so little about what he sells , green Irish tweed a hidden gem ahahahahah , explained aventus and never mentioned pineapple hahahah , never mind I love robin he knows more than that idiot creed sent out
@@Nik252 so if he talked about Tom ford Tuscan leather and said oh yes there’s fruit in this what would you say , the thick bastard called green Irish tweed a hidden gem
@@cosmicgirl2761 he wasn’t talking about Tom ford was he ? Maybe if you educated yourself on what hidden gem means at creed you’d get a better understanding! Calling people idiots isn’t nice. How about you educate yourself on learning how to be nice
Loved shooting this one. Where to next?
Xerjoff and serge lutens please
Roja, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Xerjoff, Juliette Has A Gun, Frédéric Malle, Maison Francis Kurkdjian...
So many different ones :)

Adrian is the best! I had a consult with him when I was last in London. He introduced me to many of my favorites. Spice and Wood rocks.

Robin, you should review the men‘s line of Louis Vuitton fragrances. There are some very nice ones. Pricy and rather mass appealing, but nice!

I loved this video! Adrian is the man.
Great video as always, this hairstyle suits you like a glove Robin, looks so good!!!
Original Vetiver is my favourite Creed fragrance.
What about the pineapple in Aventus?
My favorite Creed is Bois du Portugal, with maybe Royal Oud at #2.
A great fragrance interview, Robin! Very informative. Too bad creed is a little bit out of my price range 🙃
No no my friend you can get 100ml full presentations through Facebook groups, fashion apps, and online sites for anywhere from 10%-70% - you can buy partial bottles and testers also. Just dig a little!
since when does creed aventus have tonka bean and sandalwood? Or is he confusing those notes with aventus cologne?
Erolfa is another great summer fragrance that i enjoy.
If you haven't been a feel like Penhaligon's would make sense for that classic house.
i love how professional this vid is, class
Aventus and Original Santal are so nice :)
But I personally would rather buy Montblanc Explorer and Montblanc Individuel as they’re almost like those 2 Creeds but without spending £300 on a bottle 😳

Great video. Really interesting. I wish though for the price that the lids of the Aventus bottles would fit properly 🤣🤣
What an elegant professional branch manage
I love Green Irish Tweed the smell it is unbelievable fantastic.
I have SMW, VIW and viking, they're all really nice but I think SMW is the best
TH-cam need to hurry up and add smell-o-vision to videos like these
Lovely video Robin! Creed is definitely a top brand of mine. I've only visited the boutique in Miami, but it's always a good time there.
Is it in Brickell?
Top quality production and review. Love this channel
So far, I like GIT, Royal Oud, Viking (not "cologne"), and Original Santal.
Creed Green Irish Tweed Millesime I had my eye on it
I love creed
Great great video. I really love Creed. So many wonderful offerings:)

For me Royalty Oud is the ultimate. I have a 2016 bottle and it’s incredible.
Creed Fragrances are very Good I would try all of them
Surprised my favorite Creed didn't make this list Royal Oud!
i been looking into royal oud, is it really good and worth buying?
@@edwindejesus1573 It’s a masterpiece in my opinion and I own 130+ fragrances. Check out my review on Royal Oud on my channel

Give a review of forte series styling cream.
Fabulous list,, aroma from heaven
Which one would you suggest for groom to wear in a wedding ?
Aventus, Green Irish Tweed or Spice and Wood.
Where is this store located again?
for me the best creed is bois du portugal :) very underatted
I have a sample on my desk! Love it.
Truly classic - I love it
Royal Oud is the best IMO.
Never tried it! Is there anything similar to Royal Oud that doesn't cost a bomb?
@@ManForHimself Ooh I’d love to try it!

Very Nice Robin! Very Nice!
What's the longevity of creed viking cologne? I've read a lot of the citrus colognes don't last long or the citrus itself doesn't last long.
It's good. It's got staying power.
Pretty cringe that someone who works at a creed boutique knows nothing about the fragrances. 💀
Perfectly agree with Virgin Island Water, Aventus, and Silver Mountain Water, as long as you can get an older batch that does actually last. Viking cologne is absolute mehh. Green Irish Tweed wonderful classic, and does actually last. Spice and Wood should have been on the list. Creed can stuff their US and UK prices though.

I feel like the notes in Git were wrong
67 fragrances and they show you the main 5 , could have showcased so many different ones.
After Aventus, it has to be Royal Oud
Millesime!
No.
Can’t help but notice he described Aventus ingredients completely incorrectly hahaha
Aventus has a lot more ingredients you don’t always have to use the same ingredients you see written
what the hell is the guy talking about? describing aventus with no pineapple or birch, but green apple (yes I know it contains apple, too) only, sandalwood (what?) and tonka bean? I’m sure he confused it with „aventus for her“?!
Aventus has tonka bean and apple, there are more ingredients in Aventus than pineapple
adrian is a nice guy, but he used aventus cologne's notes to describe aventus, and called git a hidden gem... what?
He actually didn’t
I like your outfit robin
GIT! 💪
Man he said Aventus has vanilla at the top and sandalwood base lol tf 😂
Original vetiver!
Has Adrian thought about doing asmr?
