Misc Cologne Crew Pt. XIV: Cologne, Candles and Smellin' Good

[SaganX]

actually edited my post as you posted this lol. decided i'd keep the VIW. had to take a few more wifs to decide. I'm in awe over this aventus tho. holy chit the hype is real.

for the new page.

new 4oz GIT tester (sprayed once) $105 shipped out tomorrow.

pm'd.

I've been trying to get in on these lilydirect/ljshopping deals but they don't ship to Germany even though fragnet has no problems sending multiple bottles at a time to my APO here

[AshyLarry11]

Glad all the canada brahs got in on the deal!

I just ran out of Lacoste essential but won't be buying another. I might go back to polo blue. Any other suggestions for a good daily cologne that will keep you dropping panties? Haha
Thinking of acqua di gio, dg the one, back 2 black by kilians, or molecule 01

Strong price range is strong

That feel when you just bought Aventus last week

Would still buy at that price. Prices are going up a lot and you have 1-3 weeks to think it over.

Yeah, but the seller might sell them, before the decants arrive. I wanted the original bottle and 50ml for 150 seemed like a good deal.

Not a good deal if it ends up as a showpiece brah

it aint the first time brah

Latest haul:



Tobacco absolute - smells nothing like pipe tobacco to me like the reviews said it would. Its sweet... Sticky sweet. But not like candy either. Kinda like syrup. Need to figure out how much to dilute it before i add some to my TV decants.

Violet Leaf absolute - Doesnt smell exactly like that hnnngg note in GIT, even though its the middle note in GIT. Well thats because creed (and davidoff) used a chemical called Dihydromyrcenol. Maybe ill order some of that too. However, this smells like 10% similar but very earthy. I can see this improving the heart and drydown of GIT. I feel like it would work so well in a blend!!! I really cant wait to experiment with this one!

smelled my white musk accord from eden botanicals again.

cot fukking damn. its so nice. i want to make a frag just out of that alone. maybe add some iso e super. also want to add some of that white musk to an aventus decant. apparently musk is one of the notes in aventus, but i cant make it out. I'd like to bring it out though!

maybe try this

white musk accord + violet leaf absolute + fougere accord ( lavender, coumarin, oakmoss) + whatever you like = something similar to Narciso Rodriguez for Him EdT -->> hnnnnnggggg

ill start making my own frags in the future probably. i dont have a fougere accord right now... but omfg this white musk would work sooo well in the summer. really feel it would compliment aventus well.

fuk it adding it to my aventus decant right now.

edit: fukked up and added a pure 1mL of it to my 30mL aventus. thats a ton. aventus itself might be like 25% oils which would mean like 7.5mL actual oil from aventus.

[wailshark]

Dat urge to pick up a bottle of GIT and Aventus.

Too many fragrances, too little time to use all of them!

Got full bottles of YSL L'homme, La Nuit, TDH, Spicebomb, Polo Blue, and Fahrenheit plus a bunch of decants yet I still am on the lookout for more. The disease. I has it.

[pep_meister]

1 bottle of GIT sold to ctsv!

please help... need number for CAnononymous helpline lol...



2 weeks itt...

4 oz Creed Aventus
4 oz Creed GIT
4oz Creed VIW
50ML TV

[CTSV648HP]

Three 4 oz bottles of GIT to my name now. One is half empty though. I won't have to stay up late at night anymore worrying whether I have enough GIT now, thanks brah.

[Jsmith1990]

Still holding onto 100mL OG Z01

Only thing stopping me from getting in on this

[flangmasterj]

That feel when you own half a bottle of Aventus but the frag is so epic you wouldn't get away with wearing more than once a month. Then there's these ^ mighty cats buying multiple bottles.

I reckon I could get some good profit selling decants here in NZ.

fark brah i feel for you....its not as bad in canada but still hard to find a lot of stuff. especially compared to our friends just south of us....brb aventus at regular US pricing and all the canadians jump on it with ear to ear grins

Only thing stopping me from getting in on this

Had 70ml left myself. But at that price I couldn't pass it up. I'll just get rid of some other stuff to make up the cost. like this bottle of l'homme thats so nice but gets zero wearing. This post brought to you by Creed Aventus

TFW can finally get in on deals like this instead of having to deal with chitty prices and even chittier costs to post to Australia.
Got in on the Aventus deal, couldn't pass it up.

This week has been a very expensive one for me...and I still gotta purchase my April trip to Miami yet!

Received my Creed Aventus bottle from lilly direct.....need some advice brahs. The bottle is banged up, the cap has some scratches on it, as well as the bottle, the first E is fading and the plastic wrap ? around the bottle is starting to come off....wtf mane, my creed bottle from fragnet was brand new, that one from lily is banged up. What do ?

also looks like a little bit of juice is missing, compared to my VIW bottle that looks fuller

[Papillo]

how does it smell? is it worth dealing with returns etc?

[TR88]

fuk them man, deff bottle is not full, should've ordered it from fragnet...

[TR88]

how does it smell? is it worth dealing with returns etc?

It's authentic, but it looks like I got a returned one imo...deff not keeping it

[TR88]

[TR88]

brahs isn't supposed to say creed on the sprayer ? mine is black and nothing on it



nvm, my older aventus has the logo, but the newer batches seems to use different one

[Jagd24]

spring is finally here in Michigan!

What are some "new" or the best go to spring scents? Also, please dont abbreviate, I'm old and you kids and your abbreviations hurt my eyes sometimes.

for good spring scents, try out Selection Verte by Creed, Eight & Bob in addition to the ones listed above by Ion. Silver Mountian Water to me is ideal for spring. i dont like it in winter or hot summer.

GIT= Green Irish Tweed
MI= Millesime Imperial
VIW= Virgin Island Water

All by Creed

Thanks bruhs. I have mostly summer and winter scents, need to up the spring game

[Jagd24]

So noone has tried Vanille Insensée by Atelier? I woke up and still have it on and it still smells hnnnnng. I think its the oak I'm smelling and its getting me addicted to it. Very nice.

SOTD: DHS

Most Creeds(GIT/Aventus/MI/VIW(more for summer)) are great. My Favorite for Spring/summer is Bergamotte 22 by le labo, Another good one is Rose 31. Tom Ford Rive Dambre. Allure homme Sport, Dior homme sport(my Scent of the Day), Dior homme Eau Friache. Bois Dargent by Christian Dior, 1861 by Xerjoff

La nuit by Yves Saint Laurent for night time use, Ambre Nuit and a few others. If you give a specific situation i can break down the lists


Id say some of th bests from this thread are 1861, b22, and GIT.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ion3213 again.

I havent really been on in Months, you must be a helpful dude

Did you buy tester or new?

I'll have to revisit it. I tried it once before from a sample. I still have it so I'll give it another shot.
