Controversial Favorite

When reading the comments here on Parfumo, it seems that Aventus is one of those fragrances that people either love or hate, with not much in between. One person detects a wet ashtray, while another would give their last shirt for this scent.
I must admit right away that I belong to the faction that loves this fragrance, and it will likely never leave my collection.

To be honest, I am more surprised at how controversially Aventus is discussed here. So far, whether in my job or privately, I have only received positive feedback on Aventus.
It is an absolutely attractive, masculine scent that is also perceived as such by women. It manages to be both rugged and smoky while also fresh and elegant. For me, it is a fragrance that can be worn on many occasions and is well received both in the club and at work.

There has been much discussion here about longevity. I am not sure if it is really due to the fluctuating quality of the batches that some attest to Aventus having poor longevity. I have the impression that Aventus is one of those fragrances that the wearer does not really perceive after a while. I felt similarly when I first used the scent. I thought I had gotten a bad specimen. However, others then commented on how good I smelled, while the scent was no longer present for me. So far, I have had the opportunity to try 4 different batches and have not noticed any significant differences in quality or longevity.

By now, I have had the chance to test several fragrances from Creed. My conclusion is that while Creed produces few bad scents, some do indeed seem overpriced because they are simply nothing special and do not stand out. Aventus is a clear exception for me. Alongside Silver Mountain Water and Spice & Wood, Aventus is one of the best Creed fragrances in my opinion. Here, you get a noble yet everyday-appropriate scent that fascinates both men and women equally, and in my opinion, it is worth every cent.

Your comment reflects my impression of this scent as well. For me, the talk about the supposed batch differences seemed more like a case of mass hysteria (in the sense of Paul Watzlawick ;) ).

Nice comment :-) I've never been approached about a fragrance for both men and women as much as I have with Aventus...

I absolutely experience the same phenomenon. I can barely smell any hint of Aventus on my shirt, while everyone around me keeps saying how enchanting and enveloping my scent is!

Aventus... for me, it's a 100% fragrance. It will always have a place in my collection.
I felt the same way :) I didn't even notice it anymore, but the compliments just kept coming.
