Very difficult
First the positive:
I think the Alexandria 2 DNA is really well captured. You can definitely recognize the original, but played at half volume here.
Which brings me straight to the next point. The fragrance definitely needs to mature properly in order to achieve more performance.
Now the big BUT - the quality is unfortunately really poor. Immediately after spraying it on, the back of my hand started to burn. I've never had that with perfume before, not even with other Zara fragrances. Absolutely Dark on the other back of my hand at the same time remained skin-neutral.
In addition, this certain cheap "smokiness/rancidity" constantly resonates.
I will test it again in a few weeks.

The mids were probably cut in the equalizer.
"Absolu Aventus | Creed" starts with a bombastic, classy and fresh opening, to kneel down to.
All the sadder that it is completely gone after 10 to 15 minutes and the fragrance has changed 100%.
Where every other fragrance in this price range now has beautiful heart notes that slowly lead to the base, this is completely missing here.
In "Aventus | Creed", the most striking and beloved pineapple fragrance note is the link and thus the transition from top notes to base notes.
But since this is completely missing in the new version, you get the typical Aventus smoky base notes straight after the grandiose opening.
Whether you like them is a matter of taste.
For me, however, "Absolu Aventus | Creed" seems as if they had simply taken the "Aventus | Creed" formulation, removed the pineapple and increased the concentration and certain smoky notes.
All in all, unfortunately disappointing for me and not worth the money. As quickly as it came, the bottle has to go again ... what a shame.
