Usual top scent from Creed, but the performance is abysmal

Scent composition wise, I still think that Creed is top of the game, no doubt. Unfortunately, there is an inverse correlation with its performance.

Today I went to London's Covent Garden Creed shop. I sprayed Absolu and Green Irish Tweed on skin. After 3 hours both of them turned to faint skin scents. Given the price, absolu-tely unacceptable.

If you like this DNA, try Afnan's Collector Edition. The scent is very similar (but a bit fresher) with at least twice the performance. You won't be disappointed.

The Smoky Pinapple is Still There

When the notes for Absolu Aventus were first leaked, I think everyone was confused as to where Aventus' signature pineapple was. How could you have an Aventus flanker without it? Well, I'm here to tell you that it's still there. But I think it's also accurate that it's not a listed note. It's more of a "deconstructed" pineapple. It's got all the sweetness and sourness from the blackcurrant and citrus, the tartness/bitterness from ginger, and the smokiness from vetiver.

The feedback from the fragrance community so far seems to be that this is basically mixing Aventus with Sauvage Elixir . Undoubtedly, it smells similar to Sauvage Elixir; it's got the same cinnamon/cardamom/coumarin/vetiver accord in the drydown. But it feels like some of the more spicy gourmand notes such as the nutmeg and licorice have been swapped for more smokiness. It seems to me that if you stick your nose on the area it is sprayed, it smells just like Sauvage Elixir, but in the air, you definitely get the juicy fruitiness that Aventus is known for.

Though I think it smells great, and probably better than either Sauvage Elixir or Aventus (at least the Aventus of today), it is not worth even close to what they are charging for it. It is far too derivative to command a price over $500.

Undoubtedly, this will be hyped beyond belief and people will be paying outrageous prices for it after it is discontinued. That's just what the Aventus name inspires.

Stocks go up?

I can never quite figure out what is the obsession people have with prices strictly as it relates to Creed. If you're not criticizing other brands for flanker pricing then you might as well not comment on that aspect, especially when there are other brands charging significantly higher markups for their flankers.

On the scent: the opening is unmistakably Aventus-like, but it's really not standard Aventus. It smells sweeter & far more fruitier, like it's "Creed does Cedrat Boise". Then I begin to notice the fougère-type tonalities that are reminiscent of the profiles of Apex Eau de Parfum & Sauvage Elixir . The scent does take another twist once we exit the first 15 minutes or so, beginning to smell like a very plain fruity musk. This part of the profile is reminiscent of the drydown of either Accento or Accento Overdose (albeit here it is indeed sweeter, but not as sweet as something like Lamar). For anybody unfamiliar with these scents, you could also imagine that the drydown is the original Aventus done a little bit sweeter & muskier without the smoky/green tones.

Make no mistake about it, Absolu Aventus does change the profile of the original sufficiently enough to bring these other aspects in. It certainly does a lot more new than Nishane did with the entirety of their X Collection, or what Roja did with the release of Elysium Eau Intense. But the glaring error of Absolu Aventus is that it misses on the key criticism people have of Aventus, that being performance (as a by-product of batch variance). Absolu completely misses on performance, performing only mildly better than my 21Z01 bottle of Aventus that I previously used as an air freshener for my room until I let my dad have it. Sillage with Absolu Aventus is weak with initial sillage being moderate-to-strong, but then drying down to intimate within 30 minutes. Longevity of the scent is genuinely in the ballpark of 4 hours since it does fade very quickly.

The only people buying this should be Creed loyalists and "investors" purchasing a *possibly limited edition* product to sell to some sucka down the road. If you can scoop this on Black Friday with a discount from somebody with stock, you might even make short-term profits. But that's all this should be - a speculative investment and nothing else.

Expensive Hype Beast

The opening has freshness from the citruses like Grapefruit and Bergamot, Ginger adds zest and Pepper notes to awaken your olfactory senses. The opening reminds you of OG Aventus, and quickly transitions into the next stage within a couple of minutes.

The famous Aventus Pineapple note lingers in the background as we enter the middle phase and is not as prominent of a fruit note as found in the OG Aventus and it's flanker cologne.

The patchouli notes add to the darkness/earthiness, while Pepper and Cinnamon add to masculine spiciness.

The dry down is often compared to Sauvage Elixir due to notable similarities. The notes of Cardamom, Ginger, Cinnamon, and Grapefruit are the notes that cause the similarities, but the Sauvage Elixir dry down is significantly more spicier, heavier, and Middle Eastern perfumery-like than the Aventus Absolo. There are similarities, but they aren't the same. This Sauvage Elixer-like phase lasts for a couple of hours.

Like any masterfully blended fragrance the top, mid, and base notes bleed into each other with dry down being heavily supported by Pepper, darkness from patchouli, Ambroxn and musks, and woody vetiver.

This scent is significantly different from the OG Aventus and Aventus Cologne. It's been incredibly hyped by perfume influencers, and while it may not suit my personal preferences ( I don't enjoy Sauvage Elixer), others may find it appealing. If you have the means, have this in your collection.

Should have called it Aventus Elixir

Lol it's mostly a clone of sauvage elixir, just with pineapple instead of grapefruit at the top and minus the licorice.

The weak disguise of calling this an absolu instead of an elixir is almost comical.

It's not even smelling higher quality (maybe a tiny bit) and it's not even as artistic / daring as the spices are way toned down and more "safe".

It's maybe a bit less screechy, but I think it's kinda part of the charm of sauvage elixir and comes with the brutal performance. Here the performance is more like average.

Fore me the choice is quite easy. I clearly prefer sauvage elixir.
