Aventus Creed 2010

the Olympus among perfumes (at least in terms of popularity): Creed Aventus.

I have yes slowly approached the world of fragrances. For years I wore nothing but Boss Bottled and One Million and thought nothing more of it. But then learned about the hype around Aventus and 4 years ago times of such a dupe company (whose name must not be named) in the 50% special offer procured a copy to be able to assess the nature of the perfume. Sour, smoky pineapple, I was immediately thrilled, but had no plans yet to spend >200€ on the original. Now in the 2.Lockdown started to collect everything that goes in this fragrance direction, and I think it is now probably almost 2L together.

But it all helps nothing if you do not know the original, therefore struck at the French of Nose.fr. Batch No. 20M01.

First spray, yes, so I imagined the original: Less biting than L'Aventure and Club de Nuit Intense (less citrus cleaner!), finely fruity, pineapple recognizable, although citrus dominates after all. Well balanced!

So after 30min-1h then the smoke emerges and the fruit retreats. The smoke note is already very strong, stronger than most dupes and can be somewhat penetrating.

With me, the scent on the skin is almost gone after about 5h. One has read a lot about it. Measured against the copies, the durability is good, measured against bombs like One Million of course not.

Overall, I am satisfied. The top note is really successful and you can smell almost not full. The base almost too much smoke, I standh probably rather on the fruity (or pineapple) composition of Aventus DNA.

Rightly the king of fragrances, but with the moderate durability, the price is of course already a number. Some speak, after all, of "Greed" Aventus....

Will wear it on special occasions and in everyday life continue to use my fragrance twins with the same DNA.
