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 | XerJoff" or "Accento Overdose | XerJoff" (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.

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.

My Favorite
This is, as of now, my favorite fragrance of all time. I had wanted this from the very moment it was released, and secured a deal on Aura Fragrance for $220 off retail. When I finally opened it after anticipation, in an unboxing documented on my YouTube channel, I truly was amazed. The all black bottle, signature box with seals, ridges and private-line-stripe, and every detail of the presentation was classy and expensive-looking. The smell was as expected, a nice twist on the original aventus, with a husky hit of spices borrowed from another one of my favorites: Dior Sauvage Elixir. Extremely thankful to god that I was able to obtain this, genuinely incredible. May not have 100% creativity or too superb price value, but the smell and experience truly makes up for it. 10/10.

So much money for so little. Riding on Aventus' hype train won't pay off, Sprayed in a mall it was gone before I left the building.

Best Aventus in my opinion. Mature, thicker, more refined and sophisticated. Projection, silage and performance is excellent.

Better quality than the standard Aventus. Feels more fresh and clean with the same DNA. Actually performance is rather decent on my skin.

An Aventus-like DNA (closer to Cedrat Boise) opposed by fresh-spicy-woody masculine aromatic (Sauvage Elixir/Papilefiko) aspects. Just meh.

it does smell a little like sauvage elixir but on close inspection it’s got more stuffs in it, mainly pineapple and cinnamon which to me is amazing!

Delicious opening of citrus fruits. The pineapple in the dry down is heavenly. Projection and longevity is rather poor. Not worth the cost.

Nothing to hate, It’s just another easy to like Aventus. More smoky citrus opening that turns into slightly sweet Aventus. I like it so far.

Basically smells like Creed Aventus mixed with Dior Sauvage Elixir.
Nothing new, nothing ground breaking.
Creed lacks in creativity.

Creed’s attempt to make Aventus a blue fragrance. It’s okay. Middling performance. I’d always reach for the OG over this.

Hands down my best evening scent. Every time I wear it someone compliments. I hope it stays my secret. DO NOT BUY.
