oh i found this about aventus from basenotes

QUOTE
I've been interested in the Creed house for a long time.
I haven't been able to buy any because of the prices.
I had read/watched many reviews, and decided to try Aventus as my first Creed fragrance.

I bought a couple of samples, and I was extremely disappointed.
I don't know why anyone else hasn't pointed this out, but Creed Aventus smells exactly like Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme.
I have both of them. I hate Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme, so I automatically hate Creed Aventus.

I seriously don't see why someone would spend $250 for a Creed fragrance when they could get the same scent for about $50.
I am SO HAPPY that I didn't waste my money on a full bottle of Creed.
I'm currently wearing both colognes (one on each hand) and they smell the same.
I hope I'm not the only one who's noticed this.
The next Creed I'll sample will be Silver Mountain Water.

You can find all of the above at Parksons's ground floor that sells cosmetics.

Eau de Baux is from l'occitane.

In fact my very bottle from MFK is the APOM and eventually moved on to own other bottles from MFK. Amyris is a must have in my opinion but APOM is unique in its own way.

I am still contemplating if i should own a full bottle of the Oud. Any chance the doorgift is the Oud?
*
im allergic to white musks (dirty, animalic, skinscent or vegetal musks are good, tho) and calone (laundry detergent smell and aquatics) so I *am* saving up for MFK's Oud as it is very full bodied and is actually really close to actual Oud attar.

SOTD - Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani

One of my earliest bottles when I started my fragrant journey 2 years ago. It was and still is a bestseller.

Interesting read :-
- Royal Fragrances
*
Interesting article on creeds and their dubious history here:

http://perfumedpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/...e-pasts-of.html

QUOTE
Creed: A Royal Fantasy

The Creed entry in Family Business Magazine reads:

“In 1760 King George III appointed James Creed to make fragrances. In 1854 the company moved its operations from London to Paris. Both Prince Charles and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, commissioned the company to make scents for them. Today, owner Oliver Creed produces 238 fragrances.“

The problem is that such testimonials tend to be unsubstantiated and, more importantly, that there is no available evidence for the historical relevance, or even the existence, of Creed perfumes prior to the late 20th century. The oldest flacon I have ever seen an image of seems to hark from the late 1960s or early 1970s and bears the name of Olivier Creed. Major visibility seems to have arrived in the 1980s with Green Irish Tweed.

No documents, novels, advertisements, letters of the 19th or 20th century mention Creed perfumes, while the family frequently appears in the context of tailoring. Fashion dictionaries and museums feature works by Creeds, but every perfume history I have read is silent. One of the rare statements from within the family is a ghost-written autobiography by one of its “black sheep” Charles Creed (1909-1966), the uncle of Olivier Creed. Primarily an account of his own exploits at tailoring and womanizing it does make references to the family history and its meteoric rise to fame after 1850, when Henry Creed opened a Paris office and collected Royal Warrants from the French Court and Queen Victoria for clothes and riding habits. While it may be that Creed furnished fragrances as well, as did Guerlain, Farina and other renowned names of the day in perfumery, there is simply no available evidence. The internet spews out frequently conflicting dates and wearers of older Creed perfumes, which in their present form cannot possibly have existed prior to the advent of modern natural-cum-synthetic based perfumery in the 1880s. The beautiful Vintage Tabarôme was thus supposedly made in 1876 for George IV (b. *1762, c.1820, d.1830), Green Irish Tweed for Cary Grant (1904-1986) – it is now undisputed that Pierre Bourdon collaborated on GIT, perhaps in the mid-1980s, and would rework some of its key ideas in Davidoff’s Cool Water. GIT just may have been Archie’s deathbed wish, but the facts do not actually compute.

Olivier Creed, then, has chosen to rewrite the complicated history of a fashion house’s 19th century rise and post-WWII fall into a brand story for his own fragrance enterprise and it has been an unconditionally successful strategy that enables his company to charge a premium for its products in retail contexts. The pomp and circumstance surrounding Creed, from the imitation Prince of Wales ostrich plumes suggesting a Royal Warrant that does not exist, to the monotonous incantation of stock phrases and name dropping by Creed representatives and in PR pieces is also cause for derision, e.g. by Luca Turin, but admittedly, it is a spiel that most everyone in the business plays in one way or another.

reposting from an earlier topic

Hey there

I'll be moving to malaysia some time in feb
i''ve asked this question before but i didn't really get much of answer...
well in truth no one really even looked at it la..

anyhow here goes
is it worth buying perfumes from malaysia *original* decent price, or would it better getting it from another place.
i plan to fly from a middle east country 
also, if get it from my point of origin , how many perfumes can i carry?
I've checked a few online prices and they kinda seem high end.

tonite later i'll post their RM equivalent of how much i pay for them

Thanks for your views and help
*
Malaysia retail sells perfumes for a relatively high price compared to other countries due to luxury goods tax.

do post the RM amount of perfumes that are being sold in your country. A bottle of 100ml here costs roughly 280 and up to 450 for niche.

and also get some middle east only scents for us such as versache oud noir and lancome's oud tongue.gif

lol that is why i'm asking how many i'm allowed to carry?

versache oud noir is around RM 265-275 based on exchange rate 100 ml
couldn't find lancome's oud one

my selection
davidoff - cool water gift pack - 125ml + after shave + body wash - RM 160
calvin klein be 200ml - 102 RM
Mont blanc starwalker 75ml - RM 98
davidoff - cool water game 100ml - RM 107

again these are just rough estimates tongue.gif

the rules are actually based on international flight rules. you could always try and hand carry (no guarantees tho)

Any chance it will be the door gift for the closed event?

dont think so. even tho indult is actually FK's line, but he's not the boss, just the 'in house' perfumer. The previous management decided to release all 4 scents in very limited quantities of 300 bottles each, but now that the management has changed they will be releasing more of it.

which means that it probably wont be a door gift.

tihota is said to be comparable or even better than spirituese double vanille (still the gold standard for vanilla scents) for vanilla fans. you can read a review of it here: http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.com/2008/05/...nd-vanille.html

can buy here: http://www.luckyscent.com/shop/detail.asp?itemid=37401

but it dosent seem to be the first edition anymore.

wah versace oud noir for so much in middle east??i got mine for under 200,flew back all the way from middle east as well.
thats what i said earlier regarding cool water,u got the reformulated cool water which is really bad.if you have tried the pre-formulated,which i always like pre-formulated stuff,you wont want to throw it away.the cap and the 'davidoff' lettering is how you differentiate them

how is the oud in oud noir? does it smell close to real oud attar?

Yes exactly very soapy vibe.
Now I will use this scent for my washroom. Currently I bought a&f fierce for my bedroom, love the strong smell. (too strong for me to use on a daily use so I just use it for my bedroom)
By the way can anyone recommend some mild cologne? Not as strong as fierce but more of a scent like CK Be? I like CK Be cos it can be used anytime and it's not too strong of a scent. Looking to upgrade.
*
what's your budget? i do recommend eau savauge if citrus is your thing. it's somewhat mild. any milder and you have to go for dior homme.
