As others have already written: Too much hype and the "aftershave note prevails".
There is simply nothing special that can justify the hype. In my opinion, it has slight similarities with Hugo Boss perfumes from the 90s and with aftershave. Just a bit fresher and more peppy. Additionally, it doesn’t last long, which probably leads the under-30 crowd to reapply and then wander around like a living scent cloud - preferably dressed smartly as a fresh business graduate heading to the office or through the clubs in the old town.
In one hand, a shisha or e-cigarette or vaporizer, and in the other, a "craft beer" or cocktail. Creed leaves an impression that is both mature and at the same time entrepreneurial/energetic, but also somewhat youthful.
You’ve graduated, just moved out of your protective parental home, enjoying the feigned freedom in the neoliberal democracy, and are convinced that the world is open to you.
You live as if there is no tomorrow.
The dream car Model 3 from the company that is almost exclusively making losses is getting closer. What do I care about others?
Only the partner is still missing. One with whom you would love to fly to Abu Dhabi or Dubai to shop in a planned city and there in an air-conditioned shopping mall.

But first, becoming a millionaire on the side with the help of success coaches from YouTube.
Because with Creed, they were right: You have finally become a man!
For the most expensive aftershave in the world, only the beard is missing.

The price is, in my opinion, outrageous. You could also buy perfumes that can actually be called special, like Nasomatto - Black Afgano. For Creed, a maximum of 100€ would be justified.
Even typical "mainstream" perfumes like Le Male (EdT) by Jean Paul Gaultier I find better.

Edited: I want to explicitly emphasize that I do not think Aventus Creed is bad. It smells good, but not special and unjustified for the price. Moreover, a perfume can’t do anything for its human wearer.
