Yes, Aidan, I see the value in your perspective as well, since I've only owned one Aventus, thus far, and have nothing to compare it to. Being that I love the scent and have consistently received positive feedback, I don't have any reason to feel that it's lacking in any regard. With that said, I like Green Irish Tweed in the daytime on occasion (with lighter clothing), and would like to try Viking and Bois Du Portugal sometime soon.
"Truth will set you free" I just love to see some perfume scholars talking facts about Aventus,batches and al that madness. And also respect and kindness to reply to every comment. Your channel is the pillar of real fragrance content for years. Bravo.
I'm also a long time collecter and fragrance enthusiast. The truth of the matter is yes some fragrances were reformulated it's a well-known fact. Earlier batches 2010,11&12 were very different. if you're a person who's never experienced the earlier batches then obviously you're not going to attest to this fact or you're never going to know what it used to smell like. People who have been there we can attest and we can tell you that it was a thing of beauty and it's very different today. Differences in batches are very real. For those of you who know what I'm talking about it depends on how much you love the smokey batches whether or not you're willing to spend the money. I just purchased a 12e01 and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. I'll revisit this comment this week🤗 if it's exactly what I remember trust me it's well worth it potent requires less sprays hence will last you a long time and Garner tons of compliments.
you are right about everything. my 16d01 batch at first smelled weak "dirty" and underwheling and i was dissapointed but after awhile it got darker and woodier and now its amazing. this stuff seems to age like wine. reviews of my batch were all bad aswell.
I was breaking my head for a while searching for the "the batch" that I actually got tired researching and never got around to testing Aventus. Then in early Sept. this place had a great deal on there Aventus flacons so I told myself, "fuck it let's buy this shit." I kid you not, it was love at first sniff! Performance is great, 8+ hours on my skin. Sillage is wonderful! Comes and goes through out the day and just when you thought it was gone, nope you can still smell it in the air. This scent does that. My suggestion is to not break your head over the best batch. Test it, if you like how it works on your skin and have the funds then buy the darn thing. I do own the clones, they don't compare to the real thing. Aventus is a magical juice.
it could be nonsense, or it could be the greatest marketing ploy in the history of men's fragrances ; anyhow, I think any movie titled "The Batch Variation" could win an academy award, if for nothing else than the title (and for featuring a smokier batch in the movie, of course :p)
I can tell you coming from a guy who owns both vintage and modern batches of aventus there are noticeable difference between vintage to modern for example my 12E01 and 11X02 have that vintage smoke smell on first blast and you don’t get that smell with modern batches the dry downs to me are the only similarities I find because they both have a vanilla birch dry down that everyone loves but is it worth to me spending thousands on a vintage?? For me no but that decision is on the individual. The way I see it years 10-13 vintage years anything after those years smells similar if not identical
Thanks for the information. I can afford Creed Adventus but I just can’t justify paying $350 for 3.4 Oz of cologne because of the name Creed. Anyway, you convinced me to give Creed a try so I will purchase Creed Adventus today. Thank you!
Cool Vid Steve. I have 2 points of view on Aventus. Bottom line, Aventus 2018, smells very different to Aventus 2012 - 2014. I don't think the current batches differ much to each other, but they differ from older batches. What I notice on the forums is that batches that people complain about, end up becoming amazing/grail batches about 3 years later, i.e after they have 'matured' I am 100% certain that Aventus changes over time and that new batches, will improve if left, even for 6 months. The other observation of mine, is that at some point the Patchouli was either massively toned down or completely removed and that has made the fragrance smell very different. So basically I agree in batch variations, but I don't think that there is any noticeable difference between one 2017 batch and another, it's the older bathes versus the newer ones where the variations is apparent.
When I bought my 2014 bottle it smelled really fruity without a lot of smoke and then few months later, even up until now it only got smokier and smokier. Same thing happened with my 2015 and 2016 bottles. So as you and I mentioned, there's more of a maturation-difference to this scent than a batch-thing. They end up smelling awesome either way, Aventus is KING 🙂
No it does’nt. Especially if it’s kept in low temperature environment outside of direct sunlight. I have Fahrenheit and Kouros bottles that are about 30 years old and still smell amazing
You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I just got my aventus and so happy to have stumbled upon your video, there is so much nonsense out there....
waste of money. i'm wearing club de nuit intense men by armaf. trust its the clone of aventus and gets more compliments than aventus. aventus is for $459 and CDNIM is for $70AUD.
You have no idea man how Everything you said has been literally on my mind for 2 weeks. The batches the years the hype on which year is better. Thank you you saved me a lots of money and stress I am just going to try some.and enjoy :)
Great video! I’ve been thinking the same. And also, have been wearing Aventus since probably 3 years ago in row, I don’t understand the people who is talking about which batch is better. Simple because Aventus is a monster of olfactory fatigue. In fact I cannot enjoy smelling of myself in 3 minutes after application. I mean I can smell but the general direction. No chance to feel the nuances at all. Have a nice day and thanks for great videos!
When smelling a 2014 Aventus vs a 2020 Aventus we have to remember that 2014 has had years to MATURE. Therefore even if their batches were exactly the same, 2014 would STILL smell different simply bc it’s had so much more time to mature Conclusion: YES! Batch variations are real. But anything after 2014 is WAY more similar than ppl make them out to be.
Exactly the point that a lot of people fail to understand . They finish a bottle that they have had for 4-5 years and expect a brand new 2020 bottle to smell the same . All Aventus takes time to mature
I just got a new bottle F2186 and compared it to my 14A01. Performance is the same but it smells just a lot better. The 2014 lost a lot of the top notes even with my good care of storage… people don’t want to acknowledge this but whatever. No need to trust us fool yourself then I guess
ive sampled some aventus batches but none was strong enough. tried some clones too including the Armaf but they were all horribly synthetic and ordinary smelling. im looking for this sparkling pineapple note high quality that projects well. i dont care about longevity but it has to project at least 3 hrs and ppl around me shd get clear whiffs of it. where can i find the damn thing someone pls tell me im fed up searching
Hi What is your opinion about the bunch 12C01 and 13Q02? I m asking because they are available for sale but i havent try them and dont know if they are so good. Can u please help? Thanks in advance
You are right. You can get a 100 ml bottle for 215 euro or so. That's worth it. But why would you pay more money for a certain year, unless you are batch shit crazy? Creed would be insane if it would turn its cash cow into a dead horse. It will never happen. Just buy (and own) one bottle of Aventus - finish it first - and then buy another one. I'm still enjoying my 75 ml bottle I purchased for 140 euro in December 2015.
I agree with you 100% I just picked up a bottle from Nordstrom and it wasn’t as Smokey as the tester from the store. I’m gonna give it some time so it can mature
I just received a bottle with batch number 17W01, what is your thought on that bottle? I keep seeing that the performance is low, but it is now 2 years old and I believe it would be better. Please let me know?
I can’t tell you more about that batch. Honestly I don’t follow the topic intensively. In this video I spoke from my experience and my perception on other people (eg my father and brother in law also wear Aventus). I would just advise you to not get hung up on what everyone tells you. Remember skin chemistry is always different and not everyone’s nose is as “thorough” too. If you really have performance issues try spraying it on top of Molecule 01 / ISO E super OR try Nishane Hacivat or Tiziani Terenzi Orion for a similar experience. Have a nice day ☺️
I think the fragrange industry is making fragrances alot more fleeting and non offensive as the main theme from the populous seems to be worrying about offensive or overly projecting fragrance this combined with poor skin chemistry or people with naturaly dry skin really feel the effects of modern dilution more than others, I know I personaly do.
This is true for a lot of new releases but I don't think Creed goes through all the hassle of recreating their best selling fragrance at the risk of losing customers with the financial cost that comes with it
Fragrance with Steve . I was wrong about the latest version I tried, once it dried down it was fantastic. I was judging it on the initial opening. I should of know better, silly me. Ha ha
The perfume formula not mention in box but this ingredients that mention its ifra complaint ingredients that cause irritation for example oakmoss absolute
Don’t get scared from what you read online. Every authentic Creed Aventus bottle is great. People say they experience batch variations but to my experience this is mostly maturation of the fragrance. As your bottle gets older, base notes tend to come out more. Just go for it enjoy it my friend !
Some days you will only smell it yourself for a couple of hours when in reality the reason for that is that the fragrance is so strong your nose just got tired of it. Happens to all of us. Getting out of the house or doing a little activity to awaken your sense of smell helps at that point. Others will still smell it all day long.
In your opinion which are top 1,2,3 out of these - Creed Aventus, Royal Oud , tomford Tobacco Vanilla, Tobacco Oud, Tuscan leather, black orchid, noir extreme, Dior homme parfum, Dior homme intense, PDM Layton, Layton exclusif ??????
Ok so my 2 cents , i have a flacon 500 ml straight from creed boutique , just got it 2023 anyway hate it , call creed waz getting ready to send it back , lady comvinced me to give it time , on my own i bought a black uv glass bottle amazon , i put juice there now here holy shit this stilll starting to smell so F…. Good , not sure is it black uv glass bottle ? Maybe , is it because starting to mature who knows anyway just wanted to share story be safe all
Don’t get me wrong, I hear you, but don’t you think it is reasonable to expect that a perfume is perfect out of the box? Specially when the one that was sampled to me in the same shop that sold me was perfect? If it’s the case that the perfume needs to sit for 3 months then it should do in Creed’s boutique not at the customer’s hands. Also, as you may know there are several cases of users where their Aventus hasn’t changed throughout time, so am I expected to hope for the lottery or just request an older batch or one that has already matured?
All depends on your preference but I hear ya. Should be the same out for anyone right out of the box. As far as I’m concerned though, I still believe this scent is beautiful whatever batch you get. If I were you I’d buy a new one and enjoy it.
I just wish the madness could stop. People freak out about every new batch that hits the market. I can see why, being such a great versatile and peoplepleasing scent, you’d be scared it gets worse. But I think they don’t want to risk their biggest selling fragrance for a few coins. Maturation and aging of the fragrance on the bottle is a real thing with Aventus, in my experience.
Just bought a 100ml 18k11 (pineapple bomb) batch. Performance reaches lame-status around 45mins. I'm told "let it age", but man is it hard accepting my bottle's performance will improve significantly. I just want a more of a smoky batch without it costing me triple the price. I do have to give a shout out to the aventus forum with almost 500 pages of information specifically regarding "Aventus" 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You were only off by one number. I own the 18k01 and it has a really nice smokey smell in my opinion. It also lacks the pineapple part but instead smells more like dark red'ish berries.
@@MysticleMonster I started shopping around for smoky aventus clones and found what I was looking for. Fyi -do not try pineapple vintage unless you want to smell of bacon lol. My Aventus has improved but still not as good as my other one. I
@@atsusanoumegah646 honestly i don't wear Aventus that often. When i do, I'll usually wear Hacivat. I didn't like DUAs Smokey Aventus, but I did keep their 11z (get lot of compliments from 11z and its beasf mode performance)..
Why are two of the bottles different than the other bottle that is out now. The older juice had a greenish hue! The new batches are clear and watered down, other wise they would be green. Not refomulated! They all have the same ingredients! What is changed is the amount of one or more of an ingredient in the various batches. This changes the balance of the notes and is not consistent for the amount of money you are investing, therefore not worth it if you don't know what you are actually getting! Creed should be ashamed of themselves for this practice. The eighteen are lasting two to four hours tops. A RIP off for the price you pay!
I agree I don't believe in the batch variations. Its a myth. i doubt the variations are significant enough that you could tell the difference unless you have highly trained nose or a professional. I agree older bottles mature over time. Newer bottles will always be fresher. even the 2019 batches will become smoky after few years of maturing. Also Creed changed their atomisers this also makes a difference. Luis from NYC Creed boutique confirmed Creed changed their atomiser this will make a difference. ua-cam.com/video/HjMYqzZ8vEE/v-deo.html
in that video Luis also explains how the application can make a difference as well, whether you spray up close or whether you spray from distance. all sorts of subtle nuances. Also if you just showered, or whether its summer or winter. Climate can also affect longevity and the way fragrances smell. Aventus will be more fruity in summer and more smoky in winter. So really batch variations is just a load of bullshit.
@@FragrancewithSteve Yees, rich teens :) and 20ish. Youthful and sporty, that's the feeling. No hate here, I consider Creed my personal favourite perfume house.
this is bullshit, ive had 2 bottles of creed next to each other both different batches, one was smokey/woody as hell the other was pineapple, today aventus is a shadow of its former self!
lol this batch nonsense always makes me laugh. trust me none of the hype pple make about different batches makes any sense. just get the current bottles of any perfume on the stores market..
Haha right? Listen I will not deny the existense of reformulations. It happens. But not nearly as many times as a lot of Aventus lovers seem to believe. It's insane to assume every different batch smells different and/or has a different formula.
No, wrong, zero, fail. I assure you the house of creed does not have that level of variance. All the stuff coming from China does. Please at least once pay full retail or at least order some samples directly from creed so that you’ll know what you’re talking about. Buying retail doesn’t mean squat unless you’re buying directly from Creed. That means it doesn’t go on sale and it’s never discounted. If it’s a discount it’s not real it’s that simple.
the best aventus batch is always the one u own:)
Good point there Brother 😁👍
Yes, Aidan, I see the value in your perspective as well, since I've only owned one Aventus, thus far, and have nothing to compare it to. Being that I love the scent and have consistently received positive feedback, I don't have any reason to feel that it's lacking in any regard.

Bois de Portugal is very nice. Clean, classy and timeless. I love the creamy sandalwood in the drydown

The 2015s come close IMO. They don’t have the true smoke of 10-13, but they are very ‘dark’ and offer great performance too
And i still think club de nuit limited edition has the same smell of old school smoky pineapple

Then by in Facebook groups like Aventus addicts and you can buy 50 ml for around 80/90$
Then buy decants on Facebook in Aventus addicts group 50 ml for around 80/90$
Buy a sample directly from creed for 35 bucks. After that you’ll know that every discount bottle you bought was fake

Keep your fragrances in a chiller, because It drastically extends the life of all the notes in your perfume/ fragrance.
The room temperature where they're at is almost constantly at about 15 degrees celcius
What does “Grail” batch mean when ppl talk about aventus ?
When smelling a 2014 Aventus vs a 2020 Aventus we have to remember that 2014 has had years to MATURE. Therefore even if their batches were exactly the same, 2014 would STILL smell different simply bc it’s had so much more time to mature

You look like the kid from Weird Science. Not a diss. You've aged well my man.
This really is some great commentary on Aventus. Also, you are very likeable!
The new batches are definitely watered down. I tried a tester it last all day then I get the bottle and it’s 1hr max

No experience with the perfume oil buddy. Let me know how that works out for you 👍
I have found that one of the newer batches is very generic, I also tried one in a different shop and it was really nice. Great video
Sorry to hear that. I haven't tried some of the last 2018 bottles but I hope it will still retain it's quality. I love this scent!

Yep if it’s not crazy expensive

Does the batch really matter? I was about to buy it and saw at this stuff about batches but I don’t really think that matters or does it?
Don’t get scared from what you read online. Every authentic Creed Aventus bottle is great. People say they experience batch variations but to my experience this is mostly maturation of the fragrance. As your bottle gets older, base notes tend to come out more. Just go for it enjoy it my friend !

Just got a 15R11, damn sex in a bottle.
@@Mr.Plutonium where did you get it from?
Which is d best smelling beast mode , nuclear bomb projection types perfume u can think of ?
How much is a 2010 batch 75ml worth?
One million dollar
Lol no seriously? I have a unused one. Trying to do research on it now.
Where are you from? I don’t know mate. Honestly. With older bottles of every fragrance people tend to ask crazy prices.
@hesh thank you for your reply. I have a few folks looking at it but no takers.
Hi do u still have it
That's a nice submariner btw:)
Thank you 😊
I've come to the conclusion that the best way to save your money is to not buy Creed Aventus! No but really I love me some CA ❤
@TRAVEL BLOGGER You're right! I got my love a bottle anyway 😂❤
Don’t get me wrong, I hear you, but don’t you think it is reasonable to expect that a perfume is perfect out of the box? Specially when the one that was sampled to me in the same shop that sold me was perfect?
If it’s the case that the perfume needs to sit for 3 months then it should do in Creed’s boutique not at the customer’s hands.
Also, as you may know there are several cases of users where their Aventus hasn’t changed throughout time, so am I expected to hope for the lottery or just request an older batch or one that has already matured?
All depends on your preference but I hear ya. Should be the same out for anyone right out of the box. As far as I’m concerned though, I still believe this scent is beautiful whatever batch you get. If I were you I’d buy a new one and enjoy it.
Best video about that topic
I just wish the madness could stop. People freak out about every new batch that hits the market. I can see why, being such a great versatile and peoplepleasing scent, you’d be scared it gets worse. But I think they don’t want to risk their biggest selling fragrance for a few coins. Maturation and aging of the fragrance on the bottle is a real thing with Aventus, in my experience.
Either love it or hate it
Bit like marmite.
19U11 anyone?
I heard its pineapple heavy with creaminess. Batch 19U11 is $500 on Ebay
Here!
Great information, thanks!!!
You're welcome !
Just bought a 100ml 18k11 (pineapple bomb) batch. Performance reaches lame-status around 45mins. I'm told "let it age", but man is it hard accepting my bottle's performance will improve significantly.
I just want a more of a smoky batch without it costing me triple the price.
I do have to give a shout out to the aventus forum with almost 500 pages of information specifically regarding "Aventus" 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You were only off by one number. I own the 18k01 and it has a really nice smokey smell in my opinion. It also lacks the pineapple part but instead smells more like dark red'ish berries.
@@MysticleMonster I started shopping around for smoky aventus clones and found what I was looking for. Fyi -do not try pineapple vintage unless you want to smell of bacon lol. My Aventus has improved but still not as good as my other one. I
@@johnkennedy9078 What smoky aventus clone did you end up getting?
@@atsusanoumegah646 honestly i don't wear Aventus that often. When i do, I'll usually wear Hacivat. I didn't like DUAs Smokey Aventus, but I did keep their 11z (get lot of compliments from 11z and its beasf mode performance)..
I have 18G01 batch..the juice came very yellow..If you know,is this a good batch?
Nice!!!
I don't get any smoke from my 15,16, 17t,17x or 18 batch.
😱 really? 🤨
@@FragrancewithSteveover time the top notes start to disappear and it tends to transition much quicker to the drydown. It becomes more dark and musky.
could just be amazing marketing mate lol.an average joe like me who buys one 1 creed,now i have bought 4.because of batch varaitions lol.
Can't ever have too much Aventus LOL
6:23 glitch in the matrix
Lol
Why are two of the bottles different than the other bottle that is out now.
The older juice had a greenish hue! The new batches are clear and watered down, other wise they would be green.
Not refomulated!
They all have the same ingredients! What is changed is the amount of one or more of an ingredient in the various batches. This changes the balance of the notes and is not consistent for the amount of money you are investing, therefore not worth it if you don't know what you are actually getting! Creed should be ashamed of themselves for this practice. The eighteen are lasting two to four hours tops. A RIP off for the price you pay!
I will soon try out 2018 batches to see if this is the case. I sure hope not. Thanks for sharing!
@@FragrancewithSteve I have 18G01 batch.The juice came very yellow..If you know,Is this good batch?
I agree I don't believe in the batch variations. Its a myth. i doubt the variations are significant enough that you could tell the difference unless you have highly trained nose or a professional. I agree older bottles mature over time. Newer bottles will always be fresher. even the 2019 batches will become smoky after few years of maturing. Also Creed changed their atomisers this also makes a difference. Luis from NYC Creed boutique confirmed Creed changed their atomiser this will make a difference. ua-cam.com/video/HjMYqzZ8vEE/v-deo.html
in that video Luis also explains how the application can make a difference as well, whether you spray up close or whether you spray from distance. all sorts of subtle nuances. Also if you just showered, or whether its summer or winter. Climate can also affect longevity and the way fragrances smell. Aventus will be more fruity in summer and more smoky in winter. So really batch variations is just a load of bullshit.
I'm glad you realise these things my friend it's too much drama for nothing. Aventus is great!
Thanks a lot man. You saved my hundreds of dollars. Honestly no one else has the guts to bring forth the truth.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Feels great to hear your appreciation. Enjoy your day brother !
Aventus is a scent for teens. Really.
Yes teens are the primary focus group for the expensive house of Greed. I mean Creed.
@@FragrancewithSteve Yees, rich teens :) and 20ish. Youthful and sporty, that's the feeling.
No hate here, I consider Creed my personal favourite perfume house.
I have batch code CM4217R01.
Can you send me creed aventus
What's the adress?
You represent what I think
👊👊
this is bullshit, ive had 2 bottles of creed next to each other both different batches, one was smokey/woody as hell the other was pineapple, today aventus is a shadow of its former self!
Wait for it... they all smell fresh when first opened
lol this batch nonsense always makes me laugh. trust me none of the hype pple make about different batches makes any sense. just get the current bottles of any perfume on the stores market..
Haha right? Listen I will not deny the existense of reformulations. It happens. But not nearly as many times as a lot of Aventus lovers seem to believe. It's insane to assume every different batch smells different and/or has a different formula.
19u11
Is it fire? Can you describe it a little please?
No, wrong, zero, fail.
I assure you the house of creed does not have that level of variance. All the stuff coming from China does. Please at least once pay full retail or at least order some samples directly from creed so that you’ll know what you’re talking about. Buying retail doesn’t mean squat unless you’re buying directly from Creed. That means it doesn’t go on sale and it’s never discounted. If it’s a discount it’s not real it’s that simple.
What are you talking about. Did you even watch the video 🤣
Thinkin creed only attracts gays.
Creed is overrated
