I sprayed a 2024 Aventus tester on my right wrist approx. 1 hour ago and it already starts to fade. The beginning is very intense because it seems all the citrus evaporates, now I am left with a hint of powdery citrus, not radiating. I think I even like the Elysium Cologne better than the regular Aventus, seems they last both short.
thanks Erica. for me I like Blue de Chanel parfum. But definitely older Aventus is awesome I think Parfums Vintage is great. Do a video with Demi on your Creed Aventus 2015 with a few different versions of Parfums Vinage I think you might be impressed as Demi loves Parfums Vintage so does Chris from Fragmental I believe.
I like Bleu de Chanel, for when I want something subtle and non offensive. I tried Elysium parfum cologne and the vetiver throws me off. Aventus I love the DNA but I go with CDNIM limited edition. Aventus smells better but I also want something that will last more than 2 hours.
I have original Aventus an older batch and a new batch - Love them all and I get complements by far the most from it over everything else I own but a close runner up is my Brioni,,,,💕❤💓❤
Hey Erica, keep doing fragrance battles when you're in a fiesty mood. Also, don't forget to let me know of you still want the Absolute Aphrodisiac. Keep grinding
I’ve never even been tempted to buy BDC. Aventus was my first niche fragrance back in 2010 and I stopped wearing it in 2018. I have too many other fragrances I prefer.
@@teddybear9426 I have over 250 now so it’s hard to say. My favorite designer is Costume National Homme and my favorite niche would have to be Dolce Amalfi by Xerjoff.
BDC is my signature and will always be. I love the sparkling ginger and mint. Elysium has a slightly bitter smell that I can't appreciate, and Aventus is good, but I feel like I like some of the clones better.
I got both Bleu De Chanel EDP & Parfum, love them both, do not have Elyssium but just got a sample which I will wear soon and I do have Aventus well it is simply AMAZING!
I own Aventus (a gift) I have Elysium Cologne (never smelled the one you have in the video). And I own Bleu De Chanel EDP. Out of the 3, Bleu De Chanel is the only one I CANNOT live without! I’ll never not have it! Aventus I don’t see the big deal about
Gucci pour homme 2 is nice i picked up a bottle a few months ago was a bit expensive due to it being discontinued quite a while now but i managed to find a ebay seller that wasn't too over the top ridiculous in price like the majority are, it still smells as good as it did when i had it first in 2008 i think, lovely scent not long lasting or big in projection though, tea note done to perfection and it's different to everything around right now yet still fits in as modern
@@renegadebrad7448 I found some at a discount fragrance stand at a mall. I bought the last 3 bottles they had. You might be able to find some at a local store near you. I agree about the projection and longevity. I got more compliments wearing Gucci than I did Creed Aventus and Millesime Imperial.
I got the Bleu De Channel EDP and Parfum years ago, both in the 200ml. I thing I paid $195 for the Parfum don't remember what I paid for the EDP bit both worth it. Now Aventus I bought and DEFINITELY WORTH IT!
ARMAF club de nuit EDP and limited edition only solution who need longevity and performance... creed aventus not good anymore but Erica need to make money from black rock 😂

Bleu de Chanel parfum gives more compliments than Creed Aventus. Numerous videos here on TH-cam of bloggers trying in public asking girls . I tried myself and I got more compliments from blue de Chanel parfum than Creed Aventus. ROJA Isola blue is incredible ❤
Ambergris is a note that i can now pick up instantly it just pops out at me now, over the years i never used to get it just like a lot of notes really but now it's like straight away, I recently brought a cheapie issey miyake sport and the ambergris jumped out at first sniff, both aventus and elysium it does too
I really don’t get the fascination with Creed Aventus, it smells like lemon dish cleaner with a touch of smoke. Too many clones are making it so popular. I’d take BDC everytime, it’s a classy scent.
that's the thing with aventus, everyone hates it at first then the more you smell it the more you start to like it until you're addicted. With that said it sounds like you'd probably enjoy the clones more like navitus vivamor, electimuss imperium or nishane hacivat, because they're different enough where you make like them
@@DJFAmenHeavy how many times have you tried aventus just curious? because I didn't like it at first either. But it took a while for me to like that dna. My favourite creeds are original santal and millesime imperial
@@GrowingDownUnder 5-6 times. Smelling it more isn’t going to change my mind 😂 It’s also one I smell at the gym nearly everytime it go (or a clone). It’s a bit overplayed now imo, every guy is using it or a clone because they have bought the hype. Each to their own, but it’s not for me.
@@DJFAmenHeavy sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. But I can say I was the same as you at first I didn't like it until years after I tried it. Just one of those scents that grows on you after a while. Sometimes it won't though, i've had that issue with dior homme intense I think it's disgusting and no matter how much I smell dior homme intense it's equally as bad as the first time I smelled it. Same with bentley for men intense and many other fragrances too like PDM layton
Bdc parfum is OK if you like that sort of thing. I think it's just too nice. I had a 150ml bottle and need to layer it with a harsher scent just to give it some balls. This from a die hard dior homme fan boy.
If Aventus has been reformulated and is now weak and doesn’t last very long, then it there is no point in spending a lot of money to buy it. It has been made redundant.
I have a '15 bottle of the big A too. Very balanced. Not sure any bottle after 2017 would receive the same praise. Bit of a downhill slide after that. But best to test for oneself! Ps, I've been told to look out for the new Absolu flanker coming out later this year. Really hope the new brand owners know what they're doing. 🤞
wow are you saying dior S. is a modern fragrance? Eau Sauvage is a perfume for men that is produced by Parfums Christian Dior and was created by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska.[1] The perfume was introduced in 1966,[2] and it was Dior's first perfume for men.[3]
Did you buy that 2015 batch of Aventus from me… I sold my 2015 bottle like 6 months ago on eBay 🤔…. Got tired of Aventus… would rather wear other scents these days….
there is no hope for women's perfume channels they can't review perfumes without mentioning panty-dropping which always makes me know they know nothing about perfumes they just want views
Bdc is good but its nothing groundbreaking like everyone and their mama is making it out to be. Its a good everyday but there are better scents out there for specisl occaion.
@@derekwilliams6188 It doesn't need to be groundbreaking. It's so refined and classy. And yesterday there are scents out there that maybe fill a particular role better, but as an all-rounder, versatile scent, it is hard to beat.
@Feemy Oh. Well, I was just answering your initial question of "How can she think it's nothing special?!" I dont think it's nothing special either. Every time i go to Macy's, whatever lady is there, they all keep all trying to convince me to buy bdc. I smell it every time I go to Macy's to buy colonge to try and convince myself that it's "fricking amazing," but it just smells basic to me. It smells good but nothing distinctively good. Good in an ordinary way, not making a statement kind of way. I liked allure sport better.
It's certainly longer lasting...but better? Depends what you mean it's better at because aventus has better quality ingredients & better balance and from a perfumers perspective the perfumery is just done way better, the pineapple in aventus still hasn't been done better by any clones yet. I attribute this to them having the highest quality ingredients and to get that quality it's just very expensive and no clones are going to use ingredients that high quality and expensive it defeats the purpose of having cheap clones.
@@trumpameri1638 because of reformulations, original aventus was beast mode until reformulations. And now that creed just sold out and got bought by another company, the reformulations are likely to get even worse and affect all their fragrances now.
Erica, personally I appreciate your videos, but seriously I think you have a problem with your nose 🥴. I don't mean to blame you but as musch I seen your videos I think you cant recognising mostly scents behind the Fragrances. Im watching your videos again and again so as to get out what I think about you, becuse you're so beautiful and sharing your feelings very soft 😘 and I love it😍. "I love to watch your videos" , I watch your videos for sure, but I rarely listen to you. at the End I want to say Love you ❤
There is no reason to compare anything against Aventus (2015), because it is a museum exhibit now. Current Aventus (2023) is also good, not as beast as old batches 120ml, but at least you can buy it.
Problem with elysium, it has an ammonia & slightly spicy smell to it which some people think smells like sweat. As much as I love elysium, I had to sell my bottle it's just not a safe fragrance to wear. It's still my favourite out of these 3 though I was so addicted to the blackcurrant in elysium
@@chriscampos7217 yeah funny you ask that I got a sample about 2 weeks ago and i'll be dropping a review video for it on my channel soon. But the intense is the worst elysium I think. Weak performance, more citrusy, just seems like a watered down version of elysium which already performed pretty badly they made the performance worse and the made the fragrance more citrusy it should be called eau fraiche or "elysium fresh" or elysium "sport" something like that would be more appropriate name for the fresher lighter watered down version. What they should've done with the intense is went heavier on the blackcurrant and leather to make it a darker fruitier fragrance and maybe add some cypriol oil in there would've been amazing if they did that.

Have you had the opportunity to smell old vs new Aventus batches? Curious if you can smell the difference as a fan of Aventus

The Creed Aventus Cologne is even more versatile...

Elysium > BDC EDP > Aventus
Chanel bleu parfum is better than all the ones you are talking about. I don't like Roja Elysium. Update roja elysium the clear bottle is so good
It's opinion based. Elysium for me destroys BDC in all aspects since 2 has more prominent grapefruit notes.
@tonylabrusca6602 You're right. Everyone has their own opinion. I think chanel is way better than Elysium I just don't like the way it smells
ELYSIUM IS LOVELY
@tonylabrusca6602 Yes they the edt,edp has grapefruit but the parfum doesn't and it is the best and way better than roja Elysium
