As I have come to expect, a great breakdown between the chemical composition of a frag and the realistic and human description of how it is received by our senses. I enjoy your reviews whether I 'like' a frag or prefer something different. Thanks!
It is a pleasure listening to your description, knowledge, and personal experience with these fragrances, Aaron. I've been broadening my appreciation for scent profiles, coming from a ten year YSL L'homme default to now leaning more niche, and I discovered a fragrance by Anka Kus Parfum - A Moment in Manhattan. I've had a few different bottles to feel out on my skin and massage the intellect, and I think I have a handle on it, but I'd love to hear your take. All the best, man. Thanks for your work!
I just purchased this scent this week and I love it. Reminds me of a mixture between milliesime imperial, green irish tweed and bleu chanel. Performance is solid on my skin and last all day.
@@bennetthollister58 Mine is royal oud, it's unbeatable and out of the 40 or so fragrances I own + many others I have smelled, the magic of this just can't be beat to me. Also it is quite strong for a creed fragrance too.
@@pillzbeatz1037 That's what makes it so fucking good. It just pops out so much, nothing else smells quite like it and nothing else makes me feel the same way as that fragrance does.
I have ozone on in this lovely warm weather and loving it. Also tried goldfield and banks bohemian lime as a test on my arm today and nice but doesn’t last very long at all! Ozone still powering all day👍 Blue fever yesterday. SPN tomorrow 😂
Hello! Will be nice and useful to have a video where you explain how take care of fragrances and how to proper store. Also discussion about expiration of fragrances, myths and stuff. Thank you!
wow! Small world, been considering this in the last few days as I'm really trying to find a nice citrusy summer fragrance.. Having the same issue tho with the siage and projection being not great, as well as something "lacking" on my skin..
No way! I just bought this from Harrods & it arrived earlier today. It really is beautiful & your right, it is so light & airy & creates a very elegant aura around you. It's so.airy that it feels like you're just breathing in oxygen. You could spray tons of it on & it would be impossible to choke you or any one else out. I also agree that it is very reminiscent of Francis Kurkdjian's work.
Hey Aaron do you have any tips where to put my fragrances during summer cz it gets hot here like 35 degree celsius i heard bathroom is not good cz of the humidity. Thanks!
Interesting thoughts on the "office" suitability. In one sense, yes, you absolutely do not want massive projection (so that is good); otoh, you do want longevity (8 to 10 hour workday, after all). Imo the ideal office scent would be something with that "all-day" longevity, but also something with basically no projection - just a skin scent. Something for *yourself*, not for the people stuck sitting around you.
Love this creed fragrance the bottles I have are older and are more long lasting than the creed you get today . I totally agree about the price Aaron it’s way too high .
This is very good stuff. Bought it at an extreme discount at a NYC boutique which was one of the first focused on Bond 9 fragrances, hence their low price for second-tier Creeds. Extremely good as a body wash (which I got free, I ain't payin' Creed prices!)--like a very high-priced shower gel. Not at all flowery/vanilla, per my nose. Salty/ocean/citrus to me. For whatever it's worth, it's favored by Sean Penn (which I totally get) and Donatello Versace (which I totally don't). : - )
@@HeavenRoadV I got a bottle 2 months ago. It's definitely not discontinued. However, it's extremely hard to find it since Dior doesn't distribute it to US and Canada, so your only bet is to find an individual seller or straight up going to France and buying, which we did.
I found an online shop for perfumers and I checked prices for Hedione. That shop sells Hedione for 0.15 USD per gram, while their High Cis Hedione goes for 1 USD per gram. Well, that really a huge difference 😅 0
I currently have a 100ml bottle. It lasts about 8 hours on my skin. Ever since Kering took over, perhaps I could be wrong, but I think creed fragrances seem to last a little longer. But the price is disgusting, agreed.
Erolfa has that screechy staticky base other greeds use like GIT (which I do NOT like) But the dry down on this is really good! Unfortunately it’s not worth it to suffer for 3-4 hours and smell that synthetic staticky screechiness to enjoy 1-2 hour dry down at the end of the journey.
Erolfa smells amazing, but i would never reach for this kind of fragrance. It is overtly mature aquatic salty fragrance, very subtle, close to the skin
I don’t think this fragrance would be as well received if it sold at 1/3rd of the price. That is just the psychology of marketing. Thus I think Creed has priced it appropriately. Creed fans are looking for more than the odor or performance, they want the prestige and exclusivity thus necessitating the high price.
That stone-faced "hooray" gave me a good chuckle. Aaron is a Brit through and through, hahaha. About Erolfa... It's a strong MEH from me, nothing special about it at all. Just a generic clean scent.
Somewhat new sub here. I really enjoy your videos. Brands like Creed and Tom Ford have lost it imo. I’ve lost all interest in what they’re doing. Both brands have never lasted on my skin and have never been worth the cost at the end of the day. It’s the name recognition. Plus plastics in the packaging for that price is laughable. Niche brands who use just as expensive raw materials tend to cost less or equal in some case. but they generally take care and have attention to detail with their presentation with unique bottles that don’ t have plastic caps. Sorry for the rant.
