Aventus Creed 2010

It's winter 2020 and my brother shows me a "perfume".

Wow, that smells good, what is that?
Before, I always used fragrances such as The Scent for Him Eau de Toilette or Hugo Eau de Toilette.
"That's Aventus!", great fragrance, isn't it?
I took the bottle and sprayed 2-3 times on my arm.

From then on, everything took its course!
Unfortunately, I didn't know how much this "Aventus" cost at the time.

230€ for 100ml - phew, quite a lot of money, but the fragrance is awesome.

I unpacked the fragrance, sprayed it on and fell in love with this DNA!
The Aventus 10th Anniversary was released, I bought the fragrance blind.
The fragrance arrived, I sprayed it on: Disappointment set in!
This is not "my" Aventus... I started reading and found different "batches".

Everyone here knows the discussion and yes, I have to say: my favorite is 19u11!

Luckily I was able to get two bottles of it, one is still in the cupboard with almost 98ml, the other I used again this morning. Yum!

A good 3 years later, I have tested countless fragrances, have over 20 perfumes in my collection and have to say:
It's an expensive but very, very cool hobby!

And the community here is great. It has never been easier to get new fragrances, test fragrances or swap fragrances.

Unfortunately, the nearest store selling niche fragrances is just over 60 km away in Oldenburg. Really good stores can only be found in Hamburg, which is 250km away.
Every now and then we are on site and test everything that is new on the market.

I'm very excited to see what exciting releases 2024 will bring.

One thing is certain: Aventus will always remain in the collection.

P.S.: I've heard that the current batches are also good again. There's still a bit of 19u11 left. With 20 more fragrances in the collection, it will also last a little longer.

P.S.S.: My wife also loves the fragrance on me and is always happy to smell it because it was our "getting to know each other fragrance".

What experiences have you had with Aventus? I am very curious!
