Just let the Creed store. Not feeling the hype behind Aventus. I'll post the ones I did like in a few. Going to check out LV and bounce.

I think we all had the same first reaction to Aventus.


"This is the shit yall hyped over??"


For me, it's the goat dumb reach. It works in every situation, any weather.


I got heat in my collection and till this day, it's my girl's favorite cologne.

TBH I doubt you'll be blown away by any of the modern Creed formulations bro... They have literally gone to sh!t...

The company has been butchered, I feel some kinda way as it my first introduction into high quality niche perfumery and the smell of GIT and VIW literally bring back strong memories...

OG Aventus from 2010 was really something (but not my favourite) when it first dropped but when Creed started reformulating everything around 2016-ish nothing was the same... I wish I kept all my old bottles and boxes of GIT, VIW, SMW, Milly and Aventus from the 10's, because even sniffing the atomisers you could smell the quality...

I still like GIT and VIW but its nowhere near the level it was once at, which is a shame... It just now just another beauty house owned by Kering...

Im tempted to hunt down a vintage GIT with the big fire hydrant atomiser but it will hit the pockets hard...

Ya, I was let down because I felt like I have far less expensive colognes that are good enough for me. I didnt smell the price difference. I smelled 2 newer ones. Delphinus was terrible to me. I liked centaurus though. Probably my favorite of the ones I smelled.

Funny think is Centaurs and Delphinus are the worst Creeds in their line ups and the two fragrances that lack the Creed DNA... A prime example of their greed and jumping onto trends...

Did you try all the classics???
 
I smelled the Issey Miyake Le Sel in the airport... thought I had just sprayed a water bottle. I'll give it another go, another day. But that first try it was hard to pick up on anything.
 
Alright...back to the old me. Just bought Contras Pharos Royal Edition. I'd be interested in y'all opinion on the Contras lineup. I have this one and one other. I think both are really good

Try pick up Davidoff Zino whilst you can... Its been discontinued but I picked it up for about £20 from the discounters a month or so ago... Real old skool masculine scent...

Ive not smelt the vintage version but apparently the modern version is quite close to the original formation too....
 
Felt like getting it the house and ran to Sephora. Not a fan of the Bad Boy line. But Spicebomb... good across the board, except I didn't smell the leather one.
 
Im trying to find a leather fragrance, though nothing TOO strong like some of the Tom Fords that smell like new car seats... So Ive ordered a few samples, though today I tried Hermes Bel Ami Vetiver in store, ohh my days, that sh!t is incredible!!!

The OG Bel Ami was abit too peppery but the Vetiver flanker is incredible... Real creamy, buttery, leathery, earthy and grown up...

Ladies and gentleman, if youve not got your nose on it, try give it a sniff!!!

Theres been talk of it being discontinued but Im gonna try wait it out until blackfriday next month...

Eris's Night Flower (and MXXX) has been on the the too buy list for ages, I hope cop it at somepoint but I cant wreck my pockets that much just yet, though I got 10% discount when I finally do lol
