Bergamot ruins it.

The opening is fruity, and I get a hint of the apple, but bergamot is too intense and ruins it. I can't get any blackcurrant.
Luckily, after that sting thats the opening, it settles down to a nice scent, the patchouli taming the citrusy notes in the opening, making it drier scent, and then you get a woody-musky fragrance with a bit of juniper berries, a little hint of jasmine. It's not bad at all - its only problem are the top notes for me.

Cre(ed)(Aven)tus

Well, as the title suggests, this fragrance is similar to its luxurious, rich counterpart Creed Aventus.

However, Cretus starts off quite uniquely with a distinctly pronounced citrus opening, but without any smoky accompaniment.

A very nice fragrance. Perfect for summer, after showering, or for a quick trip to the supermarket.

Projection (3 out of 10) and longevity (3 out of 10) are rather weak.
However, this fragrance doesn’t need to project excessively.

Price/performance is fantastic. For such a price, it's a summer gem.

Thank you, LPDO

"So a man, so a man..."

....sang back then some German chanson with a stage-worthy orange-red mane and raved about "stature and strength" while expressing his awakened passion. Yep, I believe he must have worn a fragrance like this.

This time, I actually read the fragrance pyramid beforehand and was looking forward to some nice fruits due to the heat outside. But either they melted in the sun beforehand or hid from me in the shade; in any case, there were none to be seen, uh, smelled.

For me, Cretus started off very masculine and robust, lumberjack-style, with a lot of birch, decent incense, and a minimal hint of earthy patchouli. I see the burly man in a flashy lumberjack shirt and sturdy footwear walking right in front of me, freshly shaven, the cologne just splashed on, wood shavings still in his beard - and this cliché man definitely doesn’t have a jasmine blossom with him!

Of course, our friend showered before our meeting, so in the base, the clean musk prevents the oak moss from awakening too much passion. A hint of vanilla and amber at the end evokes the image of a fluffy Norwegian sweater that our friend drapes around the shoulders of his shivering date before disappearing into the woods with his Unimog.

Yes, yes, the association monster struck again and rummaged through the very last clichés from the mothballs - but hey, why not?! Why shouldn’t the city man of today indulge in his dreams and transform into Thor for 7 or 8 hours - at least in terms of scent?!

Subtleties

Cretus begins refreshingly fruity - herbal, but also slightly sweet.

Our dear perfumer "Elbchen" gave me the opportunity to test this fragrance with her sample, for which I would like to express my sincere thanks.

First, one can sniff a very fine, but fully ripe black currant, which I believe is a lovely opening for the fragrance.

At the same time, one can also detect a sweet and pleasantly fruity pineapple, which does not push itself too much into the foreground but merely supports the black currant.

In the background, one can perceive something herbal, very slightly citrusy, thanks to the bergamot, which ensures that the top note remains fresh and does not drift into sticky territory.

I could not detect any apple, which I do not find troubling at all, as I do not like the smell of apple; however, I can very well imagine that it is merely meant to underscore the fruity nuances.

This constellation can be sniffed for 20 minutes on my skin before the heart note unfolds.

The heart note becomes lovely - floral, thanks to the jasmine, without smelling stuffy or even carrion-like, which jasmine in high concentration is certainly capable of.

At the same time, there is something aromatic - balsamic, very slightly sweet, which is due to the juniper berry and, in my opinion, harmonizes wonderfully with the jasmine.

There is also something very clear and woody that comes from the birch and adds a very nice accent.

In the background, the earthy - sweet facet of the patchouli can be detected, which pleasantly supports the other notes and provides a beautiful finish to the heart note.

Cretus is a very pleasant fragrance that reveals unexpected subtleties.

The heart note can be detected for 4 hours on my skin before the base asserts itself.

This has something clear, fine - mossy, which is thanks to the oakmoss.

There is also a deep balsamic - spicy aura that comes from the amber and gives the base something tangible.

In the very far background, one can also perceive something clean, which is due to the musk and beautifully rounds off the base.

Unfortunately, I could not detect any vanilla, but I can very well imagine that it was used in such a way as to underscore the amber.

Overall, the fragrance can be detected for 8 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed in the first hour so that one can be perceived quite well at arm's length and then settles to be perceived well at half an arm's length, which it maintains for 3.5 hours before it gradually reduces until the fragrance finally fades completely.

Stanky "men's" cologne with apple. Nothing I ever want to smell again.

Fresh, artificial fruit salad that the AI spilled on the laminate floor. Unlike Aventus, it has an unpleasant, slightly sharp synthetic scent.

Synthetic sharp Aventus copy. Surely there's a use for this twentieth clone, - but not for me! It's annoying!

Fresh-fruity-sweet with recognizable Aventus DNA
Emphasizing its own ideas more strongly,
it could have been really great!

The scent notes strongly resemble Aventus. As a dupe, it's a total flop, but as an independent fragrance, it's good.

The name already hints at what to expect... Creed's flagship No. 1. However, it's not a clone, but unique! Nice!

Sorry, but I'm really into Aventus. This is a good, very affordable dupe with great longevity & sillage, and it will soon be at my boyfriend's place ;)
