what i really dont get is the pricing in Norway (where i live) Creed Aventus Absolu goes for 3970 KR = 366.68$ Creed Aventus (50ml) goes for 2605 KR = 240.70$ Creed Aventus (100ml) goes for 3660 KR = 338.18$ As far as i can see Aventus Absolu is priced at 545$ on their own website with the normal Creed Aventus coming out at 495$. i do understand that creed is from Paris, but the difference is pretty insane. that being said i do enjoy my Aventus Absolu. 🙂
Aaron's review was literally going to determine if I bought it or not. I sincerely doubt this will be a limited edition. It's already at discounters. Just my opinion, but I think it's marketing (it's creed) trying to see how it sells and how it's received. The first batch may be limited, but if people are buying it, they're not going to discontinue it.
@kanishkamarasinghe9354 I think its safe for office but I usually play it super safe since general population can think differently haha. Its not too strong, its not challenging.
People are hating on an uninspired fragrance that's retailing for this price. The moment this is marketed at $180-200 for that 75ml, this wouldn't be getting the criticism.
I just got this today bought mine in the Dubai Mall its smells very manly love the notes on this one my mom loves it as well another addition to my collection
You sound like you might have pretty good taste and I’m always looking for something new lol. Please feel free to share a couple of fragrances that can compete with us. I would love to know personally thank you.
Great video. I’m glad to see you didn’t say it was a sauvage clone like some people are saying. I see ZERO sauvage comparison in the smell. It’s a shame that people see “grapefruit” as a listed note and automatically think it’s Sauvage inspired.
Aventus was one of the reasons I started getting into fragrances back in the days. I still consider myself a fan and I can't wait to test out Absolu. Aaron asked why we think this is a limited edition. Probably to justify the hefty price tag. But it could also be due to inflation and agreements with suppliers for a certain ordered ammount of raw ingredients.
Wow i was expecting Aaron to take it apart and say it isn't worth it etc but it's a perfect 10, I ain't paying for it though i have the original aventus and i like it but not enough to repurchase it,
They said limited yet I’ve seen at least three different batch codes so far. I wonder what bottle he has because one is black currant prominent and another is grapefruit prominent in the opening.
Tried this in Harrods yesterday. The guy sprayed the original on left and this on right. The original smelt totally flat compared to this, its lovely in the opening and mid. Dry down honestly they smelt the same to me and didn't last as long either. If the drydown remained like the start/mid I would of picked up a bottle I think.
Great so the bottles are priced over 150 dollars higher in the U.S and I bout 3 bottles. I could have gotten another whole bottle in Europe. I’m personally really impressed by the scent and my lady is blown away by it.
I absolutely love this stuff, just a shame about the price. Definitely don't think it'll be limited edition though, probably just a PR stunt to get more sales, knowing the horrible greedy company creed has become nowadays 😢.
Armaf have just released Club De Nuit Precieux 1 which is a high end clone of this. £94 for 50ml which is a lot for Armaf but the early reviews are saying that they nailed it.
Haha standard !! But it must be a do good fragrance because he smelled his arm 8 x that we can see before the final thoughts and 10 times til the end. You think it’s worth it?😊
The only reason it’s limited edition is so that they can charge more for it. There are no ingredients in this fragrance that are in any way rare or hard to get hold of. Guerlain do limited editions every year (like the Shalimar Milessime’s) that are less than half this price & using just as good (if not higher) quality ingredients, so it is possible to produce limited editions without ripping off buyers.
I haven't tried yet and hope to but my skeptical feeling is it is limited in order to justify the prices jacked up. By limited I do wonder how many million they made (lol). Always enjoy your perspectives.
I bought a bottle two weeks ago and have been wearing it daily. It reminds me of the old 2011 batches with their smoky, blackcurrant, and birch aromas. I’ve received the usual compliments, which is always nice. Just like the original Aventus, it’s very easy to become anosmic to this fragrance. It smells nothing like Elixir. I must say, Creed has definitely listened to the fans and has delivered a beautiful masterpiece.
So what you're saying is they've rereleased 2011 aventus, under a new name, after already watering down the aventus formula for the past decade?. Yep sounds about right.
I just bought a 2 ml decant to see what it the hype was about and yes I do like it more than the regular aventus but it's definitely not worth the $540 retail price
I can never get used to seeing a man worrying about how another man spends his money. If bro wanna save 12 pay checks to buy this, let him live. You wasn’t with him shooting in the gym
Good man Aaron, always a joy to hear your thoughts. I like this one, it´s a nice combo between Dior Sauvage Elixir and Aventus .. what can get wrong with that ? : )
I have a sample, I actually like the scent. It has vibes of Dior Sauvage Elixir….just fresher and lighter. The prices are already dropping in the Facebook groups. I’ve seen these sell low as $320
Hi - are these FB groups places where you can re sell fragrances? I have some ATH’s I just got abs want to sell, and I don’t know where to do so. Thanks
Why, do you know how they are made? I do because I’ve seen it. It’s actually a very expensive ingredient to produce, far more than designer fragrances that are now ultimately synthetic!
I’ll never buy a fragrance that’s 500 dollars. I wear designers that cost between 40-80 dollars and smell just as good or even better than people that wear niche and all these guys wearing niche think they so special. Haha.
It’s smells so good but it’s super expensive for a 75ml. I love the Aventus cologne though I do have Club de Nuit for the Aventus type of dna edt for the Smokey birch feel
It's not birch we smell in CDNIM. It's bad chemicals. I honestly can't stand it on my skin. Saved some money and bought another Aventus bottle. No comparison really.
@@steliosc.4686well I’ve had an og Aventus batch but these new ones don’t compare so that’s why I got CDNIM for that nostalgic feel of og aventus, had the 125 ml
Aaron, i was speaking to one of the creed reps on the creed stand in fenwicks about batch variations and she reckons the time of year that different batches are made could be a reason why there is so much variation. She said due to them using natural raw materials to create the fragrances the availability and quality of certain natural ingredients can change throughout the year and thinks this could be why different batches have different qualities and why sometimes more of birch or pineapple or smokiness comes through. Would that make sense?
Bought it blind. At the start it smelled like Aventus. It dried down to smell like Sauvage. Don't think this was for current Aventus fans, more for Sauvage fans. Tried to convince myself it smelled nice but it had that acrid Sauvage DNA. Sold my bottle with no regrets. I think it's a Sauvage clone. I'm an Aventus fan boy BTW. Did not know it existed until 2022, bought it the moment I smelled it.
Also they'd end up being totally different fragrances, we're talking about some talented perfumers here like francois demachy, alberto morillas and francis kurkdjian to name a few
i refuse to pay extra to receive a concentration i should be getting to being with. I put it on my wrist and when I returned home a few hours later. It was hardly detectable. It wasn't me going nose blind either.
This is a heavier scent than the original, I get the more green notes I find it more mossy. Everything from the packaging and bottle is a massive step up by creed. I don't understand all the negative comments or the comparison to sauvage elixir. I think it is a brilliant scent and I was happy to pay the money based on it being a limited edition. Well done creed and Aaron for the honest spot on review ❤
to be fair to creed it is a very nice fragrance yes it smells like aventus but with a more amber, cleaner, more crisp smell to it i can defiantly smell the difference and i enjoy it unfortunately the price is the negative and i wont be purchasing a bottle
Am I the only one who thinks this and Spicebomb Night Vision have a similar scent??? They both have a similar lingering smell but the Absolu Aventus sample I have is more smooth while Night Vision is more aggressive? I'm not a Scent or Fragrance Guru but they smell similar to me...
Creed seems to be far more expensive in the UK than here in Ireland. Absolu Aventus costs €320 here (which is obviously not cheap, €320 is about £275 for you UK folk), but is roughly €60 cheaper than the UK. Similarly Creed is even cheaper in France. UK & USA seem to be screwed even more. Silly prices !
I like this more than standard aventus. I do love the drydown. Can’t justify the price.
what i really dont get is the pricing in Norway (where i live)
Creed Aventus Absolu goes for 3970 KR = 366.68$
Creed Aventus (50ml) goes for 2605 KR = 240.70$
Creed Aventus (100ml) goes for 3660 KR = 338.18$
As far as i can see Aventus Absolu is priced at 545$ on their own website
with the normal Creed Aventus coming out at 495$.
i do understand that creed is from Paris, but the difference is pretty insane.
that being said i do enjoy my Aventus Absolu.

I also prefer this to all the regular Aventus I've smelled before. Love it.
I think Creed did a smart thing by making it limited. And seeing how so many people would chase after this and grab a bottle regardless of the price.
true, Myself included
you must be a banker
Yeah and after the "limited sales" it will come an unlimited version for sure!😉😁
good point man
@@JandezSan you don’t need to be a banker to buy this. You could make under £1000 a month and afford it if you live with your parents or something
I love it, happy with my purchase as I don't have many bottles but invest in special ones. I think this is going to be a yearly release.
do you think its temp controlled office safe with like 1-2 sprays?
@kanishkamarasinghe9354 I think its safe for office but I usually play it super safe since general population can think differently haha. Its not too strong, its not challenging.
Thank you Aaron❤great video as always,love it 🦄🥰
I got a 10ml of it and it’s really nice imo. Definitely way overpriced, but a lot of people hate on the actual smell of it and I don’t see why.
People are hating on an uninspired fragrance that's retailing for this price. The moment this is marketed at $180-200 for that 75ml, this wouldn't be getting the criticism.
Because 99% of them haven’t tried it, and are simply judging off notes and typical Creed hate.
been a long time since i last watched one of your videos, i dont know why i stopped, prob because been focusing too much on my job, love you Aaron
Great review Aaron, spot on.
Muchas gracias!!!
Glad you like it, I quite enjoy this one as well!
Didn’t expect this one from you so fast, but was happy to see it. I picked this one up straight away after testing it 😊
I like when you say if you would of wouldn’t wear it. It really puts into perspective for me. ✌🏻❤
I just got this today bought mine in the Dubai Mall its smells very manly love the notes on this one my mom loves it as well another addition to my collection
Great breakdown as you said it better then I. its a real winner and sad the price will keep this out of so many hands...
Always a pleasure listening to your reviews. Thank you, my friend.
Great video. Great review. Thank you, Aaron! 🫡
Ah interesting that our bottles smell different. What batch do you have?
I was looking for these review for a long time. Great news.

Aaron could you do a review on the new Gucci guilty elixir
Armafs dupes are trash

@@Aceee88Milestone smells better than SMW and Sillage smells better than Millesime imperial.
So where is it? Absolu already sold out on Creed website in EU and in my country 😂
I’m surprised you are cool with the price. $545 for 75ml. Limited but all so familiar a scent.
WOOHOO!! We got a 10!! Excellent video!
Great review. I love it as well
So happy I only bought a decant of this. I don’t mind spending extra for a great fragrance but this is definitely not it, at least for myself.

Haha yeah what are they actually smelling. I hate reviewers who do a first impression on a silly strip instead of skin.
Yeah, I don't get the Sauvage/Sauvage Elixir reference at all. It smells nothing like it.
Zero perceptive ability😂
Aventus was one of the reasons I started getting into fragrances back in the days. I still consider myself a fan and I can't wait to test out Absolu.

Loved your review Aaron! I think I’m going to bite the bullet and get it…
It may be limited temporarily to see how it sells. I'd imagine Aventus Absolu will continue if there's a great response to it.
I doubt it in the case of this fragrance
i refer to the wonderful video of george "the fragrance apprentice" - a must watch which says it all. nuff said. thanks
ive been waiting for this. i have absolu on its way.
Wow i was expecting Aaron to take it apart and say it isn't worth it etc but it's a perfect 10, I ain't paying for it though i have the original aventus and i like it but not enough to repurchase it,
ATH is such a vibe to see reviewing parfums

Lol it smells nothing like original aventus and it definitely smells like 60% sauvage elixer
Bro only when i saw the box i knew that theres one more sauvage elixir copy coming
I don’t understand how come because they have changed the Notes it can’t or shouldn’t smell the same….
This has become my most complimented fragrance after a few months.
I just bought a 2 ml decant to see what it the hype was about and yes I do like it more than the regular aventus but it's definitely not worth the $540 retail price
No scent is really worth that much. But that's lux economics and lux pricing.
Interesting review Aaron I’ve tried aventus twice and don’t care for it

Well we don’t wear the bottle or the cap. The liquid isn’t different enough to pay the amount. It just isn’t.
I tried it and its much better than newest batches of aventus. Personally i would never pay any money for this fragrance.
Tried this from john lewis today i cant stop smelling it, I think it smells lovely do you have anything like this one im so happy you liked it
Great video!
My Aventus sample is light citrus airy. No smoke or black currant.
This is my favorite Aventus. Very balanced and great performance. Was able to get it for $150 off retail and no regrets.
Surely a great scent for 150 bucks but never worth it for over 300 bucks
Great performance my ass.
It's a good fragrance but I was waiting more from this.
Is the ambroxan strong in it? Since it's getting compared to Sauvage I'm wondering if the ambroxan is heavy in the Creed. Not a fan of ambroxan.
Same. Ambroxan is a headache fuel for me.
I like this more than sauvage. Sauvage one spray is already too much after using creed frags for a while..lol
There’s that ethyl maltol whipping thru the base again!😅😅😅

How does this compare to Sauvage Elixir? Which of the 2 would you prefer?
This IMO is not limited at all I think it’s a marketing strategy to get people to pay such a high price for a small amount fragrance.
Everyone talks about the price but they are pretty tame in comparison to a lot from Boadicea.
I bought it. I like it but yes it was expensive.

Let me make it easier : they watered down just to save money. The sales assistant was selling u stories , like all the creed brand :)
Aventus flanker with a different opening. Great smell, but a lot of 💵 for a flanker w/less juice.
They did it limited edition as a trial fragrance. And hoped to be unique but not really

UK & USA seem to be screwed even more. Silly prices !
Hi Aaron,

Do you don't get the cardamom and cinnamon note?
I asked creed why their batches vary so much... they said that's due to differences of quality in the seasonal harvests of the raw materials...??
and you didn't understand the answer?
They want to push the price upwards 1000-2000 $ in the after market ! 😳
I found this perfume SO heavy on the pepper notes that it made impossible to wear it even with just 1 spray. Cloying and headache inducing for me.
