Aventus in better
I've never been a big fan of Aventus. I gave this one a 6. The extensive pineapple has always bothered me and I also generally find the fragrance unspectacular to slightly annoying in my nose.
About the Absolu:
Top notes less fresh, but more fruity & berry, drydown less smoky, but warmer and woody-spicy than the original. Significantly less pineapple overall, almost imperceptible. Great! Nevertheless, the Aventus DNA dominates from start to finish. There is little evidence of Sauvage Elixir apart from a few slight overlaps.
Shelf life and sillage are surprisingly good, definitely better than current batches of Papa.
Bottle is beautiful and high quality. Does not come into its own in pictures, you have to hold it in your hand and feel it. The new metal cap alone is a dream.
All in all, I'm thrilled, especially because my expectations were low and have been exceeded by miles. I'm actually considering getting a bottle despite the rather steep price.
Well done, Creed.
