Aventus for Her Creed 2016

I'm in a writing mood at the moment and I'll give you a few sentences about how I perceive the fragrance. Important: I don't wear it myself, my wife does. I gave her a bottle as a blind gift about three years ago because I really liked Aventus - but since my 2016 bottle has become very smoky, the euphoria of days gone by has somehow faded. BUT!!! ... Yes, we'll get to that later

It's strong and really thick. I mean, my dearest takes three squirts. And here we have Advent in the house: once the scent spirit is out of the bottle, it can't be dispelled so quickly. Up until a few months ago (and this is probably the norm), the similarity to Aventus fo Him was there, but not overpowering. I perceived the fruit differently, especially the pineapple. It was definitely riper and more opulent and very pleasant. Also clearly feminine. Wearers (you can only be wrong about that): Over 30s.

Back to Advent: the fragrance conquered the bathroom in just a few moments. When "she" went downstairs to the kitchen, I felt as if she was dragging a trail of fragrance behind her. I have NEVER experienced a fragrance with such a pronounced sillage. The stairwell was totally taken over. I might be able to compete with Black Gemstone - most other fragrances fail here.
Madness! I go down to the first floor because it smells so nice here. And lo and behold, my wife has already been gone for a few minutes. But Aventus For Her stays in the house for a while longer. Great!

Now to the but: the fragrance has changed in the meantime and what can I say: it now smells like my Aventus For Him in its best (and my favorite) years. So not exactly, of course.
The fragrance spirit from the bottle shows its true face or its true DNA. However, the sillage has also receded somewhat. You simply can't have everything. Storage: The bottle was always in the bathroom, never directly in the sun, but also there in summer (under the roof!). I can't explain it.

I've been tempted to steal the bottle from her several times. However, it's good for the house if I take something from the Explorer when my son needs it.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
You'll have to decide for yourself. I find the fragrance very beautiful, unusual and it has a powerful signature. Wear it at a seminar and people will at least remember you by your nose. I don't know why the fragrance only has an average score of 7.1 here. But hey - it doesn't matter. That's subjective after all.

The fragrance definitely has character - and what a character. For that alone, the word character should be gendered (no, please don't discuss this in the answers - boah, the review is meant to entertain you).

It's so good for me that I bought an older batch here a few months ago
