    I've been using Aventus since 2010. It was 120ml and amazing. Set the bar in masculine niche fragrances. Then after 2017, they made the bottle smaller, kept the same price and weakened it. It barely lasts 6 to 8 hours whereas before, it used to last 12 plus. Atleast on my skin. The issue is the reformulation, less product and same price. To me, it is feels like a money grab and for $450, that is unacceptable marketing/business decision to the consumer.

      What’s happening Darren, I’m a new subscriber who truly digs this channel. Creed can still hold its reign if it’s allowed to just sit & wait for it’s time, just as a classic car would, hence the 1964 Thunderbird & so on. I started my journey of buying colognes my junior and senior years in high school (1982/1983). I recently thought of what was my true first bottle of designer cologne I ever purchased. Here’s my list from the young age of 17.
      1) Polo Ralph Lauren
      2) Aramis
      3) Aramis 900
      4) Devin
      5) Lagerfeld
      6) Grey Flannel
      7) Halston Z-14
      8) Halston 112
      9) Givenchy Gentlemen
      10) Givenchy Monsieur
      But there is one I couldn’t remember right of hand & then it hit me ! And that’s SANTOS de Cartier. Now that’s the classiest of scents that when I smell it, it reminds me of the good ole times of the early 1980’s. So to me this fragrance will always be dear to my heart and will remain timeless no doubt. This fragrance was crafted in 1981 & this scent is the epitome of a man’s cologne. This is produced in France during the time Cartier held down the watch Game. So My two favorite fragrances of all time are Givenchy Gentlemen (1974) & SANTOS de Cartier (1981) Just sit back and relax & watch how Creed will be celebrated just like an old Classic Vintage Car @BowTie FragranceGuy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Let me CLEAR THE AIR….
    1. Most of you dudes don’t even have the look or swag to wear Creed….this house is for a gentleman, one’s who’s not in a rush, one who don’t mind his fragrances sitting and maturing for a while. He’s not trying to have the strongest smelling cologne in the room because he’s confident and know he already owns the room
    2. you have to PAY to PLAY…If you can’t afford it then say that but don’t hate on something you can’t afford
    3. I have Bond no9, Tom Ford, PDM and others and those houses are great but Creed doesn’t have that alcohol/synthetic smell…..I truly believe this is quality ingredients

Aventus is the only bottle i finished and bought another bottle. I hadn't worn it in awhile. And when i did about a month ago, i literally got 3 compliments that day. It's still by biggest easy reach when i can't decide what to wear and still one of the most diverse fragrances

    Aventus just works. I’ve noticed a bottle of Aventus will smell different everyday. Based off the weather.
    Some days it’s more green,
    some days it’s more gold,
    Some days it’s more white.
    Some days my bottle will last 1 hour, and the next day, the same bottle will last 8 hours.
    I truly believe the weather affects my bottles smell. Works better in humid / hot weather.
    Niche perfumery and the ingredients always find a way to work with the situation.

      I've never bought it because there's no justification for it being so expensive. There are other heritage niche perfumers, Floris for example and none of their frags sell for anything over $310.0 for a 100 ml bottle. Most of them are around the $120.00 to $180.00 price point. I can guarantee that the fragrance oils they use are equal to or better than Creed.

    @RayCharound Рік тому +3

    My take on why Aventus has sort of diminished the last few years:
    1) There were no decent clones until at least 2016/2017. Remember Insurrection or Glenn Perry Glenn Ross or whatever it was called? Awful early clones meant you had to buy Aventus to get Aventus
    2) The "Aventus DNA" has worked its way into so many modern men's fragrances. Saw it in the 80s with Polo and Drakkar. Been seeing it for several years now with Aventus. You can get your fill of the Aventus "thing" with a different twist
    3) So many clone options now of reported decent quality. Parfums Vintage, Dua, Alexandria, Club Nuit... Hell, at this point Aventus is basically a clone of itself
    3) Expansion of grey market. It's not just the mall kiosks and fragrancenet/fragrancex any more. If you know where to look, you can get a current bottle from a retail shop for a decent price
    4) Expansion of online sales groups. Fragranceswap on reddit and fb, etc. Lots of people who have bottles that fell off trucks in one way or another.
    5) Glut of decanters. I remember having to buy "overpriced" decants of Creed and Tom Ford 10 years ago. I say overpriced because they were very reasonable based on retail prices, but there were only a handful of people doing it on basenotes, so you had to pay. Now there are so many people decanting with super thin margins. Couple that with decanters' improved access to grey market or otherwise cheap flacons that they take into account when setting a cheap decant price, buying a 50 ml decant often makes a lot more sense than buying a 50 ml bottle, especially if you already have a bottle for your collection
    6) Lumping in all the reformulations, price increases, size decreases, etc.

    Well, the BowTie FragranceGuy hit the nail on the head. I'm in a lot of the fragrance groups on Facebook, and I also know from my own experience, that Creed Aventus used to be a beast of a fragrance and I had no regrets buying my first bottle at full retail price directly from Creed; but the batches after 2017 became extremely weak and didn't quite hit the same scent profile as the older batches. So considering the price, the fact that it doesn't smell the same, and it doesn't last as long, I'll still have it in my collection, but it's not my favorite. To me, it's a totally different fragrance.
    Older batches go for a hefty premium in the groups, so be prepared to pay up if you're nostalgic for an older bottle. It's still a solid fragrance, but it has definitely lost its luster.

I tried mine last week and was laying on the couch and it got on my throw pillow and I could still smell it for days after. The Creed rep and Nordstrom told me they had got a lot of feedback for the poor performance and these batches addressed that issue. So far I'm happy with my new batch.

    Well big bruh here’s the deal, and I notice that you never respond to comments which is okay with me. Creed has run it’s course. And we now live in a society where dupes has become popular and people have wisened up as money have become tight and if they run across a fragrance that’s at least 85 to 90 percent the same, well guess what? Their going that route. Who cares what one spends on a fragrance as long as it smells good that’s what the people like. Unless you walk around with a sign attached to you saying I’m wearing the real deal, Creed Aventus etc. As I get older soon to be 58 years old on next month I’ve learned to shop smart not dumb because rainy days do come. It’s like work smart not hard. Armaf is killing the game and it’s the truth like it or not. So yes……….. this is why the Creed Family are seeing their last days.

      @@jameslane2402 I'm sad to say, I haven't the slightest idea. I was shown a few, and based solely on how it smelled, I chose a roller bottle of it.

    People don't know 2013 and earlier Aventus was pure smoke...almost unwearable. I have a 2012 bottle. Since then, it was reformulated to be less smokey and luckily, it got even more popular and successful despite early reformulation.

    Agree with you. I bought it last year but it just don’t last. I cannot smell it after 1 hour. If I am paying so much for a perfume I expect it to last at least 6 hour. I won’t be buying one again.
