Hello dear Community,
so I recently acquired a 10 ml Souk of 
Aventus here from the Community, Batch F000543 (2023) and although I expected bad performance I am still a bit shocked about the fact of just how bad it is.
Even directly after Spraying it is hard for me to smell the perfume if I am not directly sniffing my arm or shirt. So almost non-existent projection, very faint smell. The longevity is actually alright (like maybe 6-8 hours) but I seems to be very faint and skin-scent-ish straight from the start.
So my questions are: Is it just how it is? Do I need to apply way more (as the Tester is spraying way less than the Creed Bottle which in my experience tend to spray a lot)? Do I go nose blind?
How is the Performance of the 2024 / 2025 batches?
Thinking about buying Aventus but yeah not for the price if I can't improve the performance somehow.
Thanks and all the best,
Maurice
