I had a tough time ever buying any creed frags due to the fact that I feel like everyone wears Aventus or a clone of it. I’m glad I took the time to smell
Aventus cologne before writing off the line completely.
Aventus cologne is the perfect combination of luxury, sophistication and a daily driver all in one. This cologne will get you compliments from women due to its more balanced approach than the original Aventus lacks.
Aventus is the scent that every gym bro in america smells like now. If you in walk into any commercial gym in the US you will most likely pass by a cloud of Aventus dna and it’s most likely explorer, club du nuit or a version that is not the original.
Aventus cologne opens much softer and sweeter than the original. It opens more with a melon forward scent and I was originally put off by this. But that’s where the beauty lies. Women prefer that softer yet still masculine leaning smell. I’m saying this onto due to the compliments I’ve received.
After about 20-30 mins the dry down and now fragrance aura is that of a more luxurious Aventus. You get the slightly peppery undertones that now balance perfectly with the opening sweetness.
Much like Aventus’ signature sweet pineapple (which I absolutely love) it has that quality but unlike the more woods and pepper forward drag that Aventus is, Aventus cologne adds a layer of sophistication that the younger generation will often miss.
If you’re looking for a crowd pleasing, sophisticated Aventus upgrade, look no further. This may have to grow on you. I will admit, I preferred Aventus personally, but the compliments and blind smell reviews I used to test with friends and family, Aventus cologne came out number one by far. In fact, not one female in my friends and family circle chose the original Aventus and none of my family knew what fragrances I was having them blind test.
Aventus cologne would be the number one creed fragrance if any major influencers began to hype it up like it deserves. For now, myself and any of you now reading this will enjoy the fact that the best creed fragrance is so underrated and under hyped that it will always be a gem.
I got 6-8 hours of projection from a brand new bottle no maceration time whatsoever. Clothes scent for a few days. I only sprayed it 4 times but this is one I could spray 8-10 times and it won’t be offensive. Skin scent for 12-14.
For the people out there searching for a signature scent that is mass speaking but will set you apart and make people wonder what you are wearing…look no further. You found yours now.
