Fata Morgana so beautiful
I bought Dior Dune blind. The listed smells promised to be exactly my thing and the fact that it will get harder and harder to get it has made me buy it at a cheap price.

In my hand I liked the bottle much better - in the pictures and from afar it always looked rather boring - and therefore I probably never noticed it. He has the shape of curved thin. The content is for me rather pale green than yellow, which also fits very well to the content.
The top note is for me totally ingenious and in the fragrance composition similar masterpiece like Fahrenheit or Dior Homme even if the species green will probably appeal to fewer people.
I love figs and I keep them in buckets myself. I don't know whether I can smell such crushed fig leaves and bark torn off a tree - I never wanted to do that to my figs. But the fact is that for me Dior Dune smells slightly bitter - green - like freshly torn roots or a tree from which bark has been removed. This bitterness is however ingeniously caught by the light rose and some vanilla sandalwood minimally to sweetened and creamy. Only very light but this combination is beautiful for me and never smelled of me before. A real masterpiece! The Johanisberry leaves which I love as a smell (in the form of a currant sage on my balcony very much) I unfortunately do not smell out explicitly.
Unfortunately, after about half an hour this smell disappears more and more into the background and there remains a slightly powdery pleasant smell of wood and very slightly and infinitely far away from the green miracle of earlier. After about 4 hours, the beautiful air-close finally turned out to be a Fata Morgana. Very sad - I would have liked to smell the Dune from the first hour.

Unfortunately Geil
I have to admit I was a little disappointed and happy after the first spraying. Happy that this sinfully expensive perfume is not soo great, happy that I can buy 1-2 other perfumes that are still on my list. First of all, Aventus smelled more like shower gel for me - and very intense. I had come home after a trip and had tested two other perfumes on my arm on the way home. I didn't smell anything from them through Aventus...
After some time it smelled more fruity and really good! I was like, "What the fuck do I have to keep this for?"
Yesterday I "wore" it for the first time at a party. Now I have to say I'm really thrilled. On the one hand, there is always a difference for me - if I like to smell a scent on my wrist as well, it can still happen that I have the feeling that it just doesn't really suit me or the occasion. In addition, with a caliber like Aventus I would have to find out once again how different fragrances unfold when they are applied comparatively more extensively and are not sprayed extremely concentrated on the wrist.
Of course, it could be that I already knew the scent and its course, but the smoky fruity note was there much faster and the overall scent was much better dosed and not too overcharged, as at the beginning on the wrist.
With the performance and handling I find Aventus then even no longer sooo expensive.
To the smell itself I don't want to say so much anymore, only so much: For me he has something of a shower gel smell at the beginning without this being something bad but the smell alone would not be worth it to me. Later, more and more a fruity freshness comes through, which is however kept in check by smoky chords.
The fascinating thing for me is the phenomenon of how these two smells complement each other, which I cannot quite grasp.
I find scents also always have an unconscious social communication.
What I like about Aventus here is the fact that he radiates a kind of masculinity which I like very much and which also seems to suit me well. There are perfumes that want to be liked, ingratiated and pleasing (often perfumes that a certain Jeremy idolizes). There are others who want to be distinctive and masculine and exaggerate it a little too much.
That is exactly where my real appreciation for Aventus lies. It's the difference between a really self-confident man and those who just try to play. Aventus is a great fragrance, which I like (very much even) without it having to ingratiate itself too much, which is masculine without almost having to go into the exaggerated, caricature and hits people in the head when trying.
