    I have a 19 batch and fortunately it’s considered to be a more smokey batch. I prefer those and enjoy it. I’d get a older one, but no way in hell I’m paying the prices the fanboys want.

    The proprietary musk is a captive form of Helvetolide (dextro-Helvetolide) and was/is only available to a select few. Helvetolide is a popular modern musk that has impact as a top note, creamy, pear/apple fruity now very popular.

    Honestly, after trying a few Aventus clones/inspired frags. I still prefer Aventus. I've never smelled the older batches, but people I trust say it's been watered down. Thing is I still find I prefer the "watered down" current version over other brands take on this DNA. It's nice, but I don't think it's the king of frags. I can understand the hype. The way people feel about Aventus is how I used to feel about Oud Wood. It was the best thing I had ever smelled. Of course that changed after I smelled more exclusive designer and niche fragrances. There's always something better if you go looking for it. That's why I barely own any full bottles. I know no matter how much I love it at first, I'll grow tired of it and go searching for something more "interesting".

    I got to say that i love Creed. Its my favorite brand, but now i only buy vintage till 2016 prodcution year.
    Regarding Aventus. I smelled fornthe first time in 2022. Was a 2020-2021 batch ...nothing special and weak. However has high quality ingredients compared to Explorer.
    Now i got a 2016 bottle very spicy , not so fruity.
    I also have a 2014 bottle with old gen atomizer and you know what is a fruity vanilla heavy with no smoke or woods. But soo sweet...
    This year 2024 i got an original creed aventus sample batch 11x02:
    Its a different fragrance, totally. The smoke its like real and its creamy pineapple smoke and vanilla....real niche, even today people will say wow.

    @JT-rx1eo 2 роки тому +2

    I'll post separately on Creed. I have a bunch of Creeds. I've read the book The Ghost Perfumer, and was surprised that the rumors were true. I thought it would be too big a risk, but it looks like Olivier Creed took that risk. I wonder what and how he informed Blackrock of the falsities. Anyway, Creed fragrances themselves. I cannot at all compare modern with vintage, as all of mine, with the exception of a decant of Green Valley and a decant of Chevrefeuille, are modern. But my modern juice SMELLS natural to me, the most natural of all of my fragrances. So if the vintage juices are that much better they must have been something else.
    P.S. I was in the Las Vegas Creed boutique (Ceasars Palace) last weekend and there are rumors of a Green Valley re-release. The Sales Associate took me into a plush back room with Creed bottles in display cases. He pointed out a bottle of Green Valley he said was in its "new packaging". He didn't have a lot of details. He let me take a photo and I posted it on Fragrantica Fragram, along with the story. Go check it out.

    I have 5 bottles of Aventus from different years. 2014 Smokey batch. 2016 vanilla heavy. 2018 citrusy heavy bergamot batch. 2021 Fruity Pineapple heavy batch. 2022 metal cap balanced Smokey birch. They all last long on me even if I don’t smell it at times. It’ll be the 6-7th hour and ppl would compliment me. Sorry to hear about the Flacon. I never bothered to get one due to the ugly bottle imo. Keep in mind that IFRA has killed it for many fragrances having them to Reformulate them.

    Interesting video and cool channel, here are some thoughts on these topics. I own several Creeds, and they're all "vintage"; most recent is 2016, I have a 2013 Himalaya, and 2010 Royal Water, and a rare 1997-2003 Erolfa. As for Aventus, I ended up with a 2017 batch I'm satisfied with. Admittedly, I've owned several different years of Aventus, but none past the late 2019 official refomulation. The original interpretation of Aventus is long dead, and I would argue it's not all Creed's fault. Aventus has only two officially documented reformulations: late 2013 when they removed most of the cade oil content, which is used to produce the birch note. And in 2019 when they were forced to remove lyral, which is used to produce jasmine. There have also been oakmoss bans, patchouli price hauls, and possibly other ingredient issues that resulted in Aventus losing steam in its profile. Make no mistake, the batch variation is true. Where Aventus falls is in its reformulations and the woes that has brung to the market. Also, real ambergris is not allowed by IFRA, it's a musk/ambroxan accord as another user pointed out. Herault brought over the special ambroxan and Creed used their special musk (Helvetolide) to create Aventus. No Creeds are worth retail right now. It's sad, but I still find joy in their older stuff.

    Hello Ramsey, this is one of the most detailed talk on Aventus. Nobody has ever given so much clarity on Aventus, especially describing the scent structure perfectly. To my nose mid aventus smells like black currant ice cream to my nose, lol. The drydown smells like OAKMOSS mixed with Ambergris and Musk.. In the background that fruity is still there far away. Let me know if you get this too.. :)

    • @RamseytheRam
      @RamseytheRam  10 місяців тому

    I've never tried any Creed fragrances! Returning to having more than a few bottles of fragrances that I like and some I would wear as a signature. I came via the wet shave community and again vintage is revered for equipment, soaps and aftershaves. A few channels branched out to include some present day fragrances and of course Aventus was held in high regard. Not one to follow the mainstream I virtually stumbled across vintage fragrances many of which I used to wear and love.
    I get where you're coming from here, I'd say the same thing about certain fragrances but as you know with fragrances they have a funny way of calling you back. In fact yesterday I was questioning myself on what I was wearing and kept sniffing my arm as it was unpleasant but nice! I thought to myself I would never have worn this in the past but I'm fascinated by it now, just like Aromatics Elixir or Cabochard I've smelled those over the years on others and thoroughly hated it....now I find I can't get enough of it, it's like a hit.
    I am still in awe what happened the other day re: Russian Adam interview, I've re- watched it, there's so much to take from that. I was listening to Bodega yesterday 'How did this Happen?' the title seemed so appropriate! Really appreciate your honesty here, fortunately we live in an age where from the comfort of your home you can offload anything unwanted.
    All the best.

    Your opinion is spot on! I bought a 100ml bottle of a 2018 batch of Aventus for full retail in a fancy shop. It’s nice and citrusy but by the time I’m out of the house, my date can’t smell anything on me (not joking, it happened to me). On that same day I walked into a clone shop and asked to try their ‘inspired by’ Aventus and that was finally the day I ‘got’ it. It smelled complex and smokey, lasted a long time on my skin and had little to do with my juice. I got to experience Aventus from a cheap clone and not from the one I gave Creed my money for!
    I ended up buying Green Irish Tweed later and I’m happy to say it was still phenomenal. As for my bottle of Aventus, it is just useless. I can’t imagine how pissed I would be if I had gotten a flacon like you did!

It didn’t smell the same at all n was much weaker and is even worse now n cost a ridiculous amount of money for the quality. When I got my first 3 bottle it was $125 to $150 for a 4oz bottle n now it’s $300 to $500 for a 3.3oz bottle absolutely insulting! You hit the mark on this video. I couldn’t agree more with you.

Whether or not you're recognized as wearing the original or a clone, it's like branding yourself as a follower, wannabe, band-wagon jumper or poser - even if you were wearing it long before it became popular. It seems to ruin social dynamics by broadcasting impetuous pressumptions or expectations. Personally I enjoy the scent, but not as much as Spice and Wood, which I consider to be more refined. The white collar to the blue collared Aventus. As for clones, I still find myself reaching for Matar from Spirit of Kings once in a while. But I've honestly recieved more notice with Amouage fragrances.

    i smelled a few Aventus clones before i ever smelled the original, which i never have nor now have any interest in owning. i do have a few perfumes that are often referred to as being inspired by Avnetus, of which my favorite is absolutely "Orion" by Tiziana Terenzi - which i do NOT consider a clone; and whether it was it inspired by Aventus or not, you'd need to ask its nose Paolo Terenzi from 2015. i find that Orion has what Aventus doesn't, a spine! Orion has a spine of woods and oud, providing structure, strength, and significance. i'll leave any further details up to formal reviews of either/or both perfumes. thanks for this video presentation, Ramsey, i thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I had bought a 25ml decent in early 2018 of aventus and I liked it but I didn't love it enough to buy a whole bottle. I finished the decant around 2020ish and never smelled it again until today. Bought a 10ml decant of a new batch and holy shit... I thought these batch guys must be exaggerating but nope. Modern aventus is just a shell of it's former self. The birch note is all wrong, it's not even the same ingredient in my opinion. It smells very cheap and I just now remembered what it reminded me of and that is Nuit d’Isseys smokey leather note. I can't get over how poor this smells compared to the original batch I purchased.

    Fabulous thoughts on the house of Creed ,and the reign and demise of the King ,totally brilliant and non,negotiable tell is as it is point of fact. That said I really do like Aventus,not gonna lie ,however I first sniffed it when a manager I worked under in 2019 gifted me a 15 ml decant from his bottle bought for him by his wife to be on their wedding day ,now I was a newbie to the hobby then so I was unaware really of the history or hype surrounding Aventus .Stay with me Rams I will cut to the chase lol 😝. So dating this it a little tricky because my manager moved on in 2020 and I never asked him about batch code cause he isn’t a fragrance guy anyways,and I didn’t know about Aventus,however in 2019 his eldest child was 6 years old so if she was born in the same year ,later end of his wedding day it would be a 2013 batch at the latest even earlier if she was born a year or two after the wedding date ,fascinating stuff.So I got spoiled on vintage Aventus from the get go haha 😂,so I did buy a 50 ml 2018 bottles last year for a song, to see the difference between them and yes indeed the vibe is there opening really good and then alas it pales beside my 15ml origin unknown decant .Sorry for the War and Peace length comment (love that ALD fragrance) just thought it an interesting bit of my fragrance trivia have a great day R ,oh did ya catch Rich’s short,Duck in A Cup so goddam cute lol 🙏✌️

    Shit, I forgot I have a 50 ml decant of this I got back in 2015/16.
    I think I got it with Royal Oud and my favorite, GIT, and I think VIW.
    Was going through some of my Creed samples, I only have two 2014 samples left of Aventus.
    I also was going through my Parfums vintage samples. They've seemed to have evaporated some.
    I'm going to give some away to a person at work.
    He was wearing Club de Niut. That's gotta have that fresh ambroxan in there.
    I gave him what was left of a decant of an Aventus 2014.
    Ramsey, I have way too many samples. I must have over 40 5ml samples just from The Decant Shop.
    OK, let's put these samples back. Keeping Parfums Vintage out. Use them up and give some away.
    Oh look, a bunch of Lubin samples from LuckyScent when they were pushing them in 2017.
    What's Cherrefeuille from Creed? I have a sample of that. Well, let's put that back in the Creed bag o samples.
    OK, just looked through the decants and the 4 Creed's are still intact.
    Sadly though, some of my travel sprays and a couple decants have evaporated some.
    I noticed my decants of Aceir Aluminum and Original Vetiver smelled like this wonderful tobacco?
    Kinda like Back to Black. Well, there's a reason for that. That decant had some evap.
    A little bit of my Reive's Guache also.
    I screwed the sprayer caps back on tightly
    Well, I've taken those two out and going to spray away.
    Someone once said, "Why let it just sit there. You're doing the perfume an injustice.".
    This Aventus smells good. Had to spray some, right.
    Oh, did you say Oscar's Lui has a little Interlude to it?
    Anyways, gotta put some of this back and get some sleep.
    Have a great day tomorrow.
