I’m oddly fascinated by what exactly Creed did in the reformulations to lessen the longevity, like which ingredient(s) did they replace, remove or lighten. B/c often with reformulations I notice the opening generally remains similar but the longevity is reduced and from chemistry perspective I find that fascinating.
Around 2013: real oakmoss got banned Around 2018: Lyral got banned Around 2020: Lilial got banned Here are some changes known to me that happened over the years caused by IFRA reglementation.
@@skrillix7486 and it’s possible oak moss contributed to the initial formulations enhanced longevity. I feel like they also reduced the amount of musk or rebalanced the amount of Ambroxan but I honestly don’t know. I’m also 90% sure BlackRock won’t return my texts.
$400+ AUD for a frag that only lasts 4 hours is a hard pass for me. The earlier batches were definitely worth the money, but it's been reformulated to death.
@LucaFinn99LP I just got a free sample from Creed last week. I sprayed it on my wrist and 2 hours later it was gone. I even let my wife smell my wrist and she couldn't detect it on me. I sprayed my wrist 4 times with unscented lotion on my arm.
@@mikebuckets idk a friend got a bottle for christmas and his whole house smells like it 1 hour after he leaves for work. Crazy sillage. Nuclear doesnt even do it justice. Its far more potent than my sauvage elixir or red tobacco for example
@Supremesucces he's definitely cappin. I have a bottle that is from a November 22 batch. The first edition with the new, metal cap. It becomes a skin scent after an hour. Smells great, but doesn't project too long. Lasts on skin all day, but you have to get right up on me.
Scentbirds travel size of Aventus for $23 is more than enough to hold me over. I'm not wearing it everyday due to my vast collection so when I run out I'll just order another.
it will always have a spot in the rotation idrc about prices or batches. Creed Aventus is Creed Aventus.. if you love certain frags profiles but they don't perform just carry an atomizer on days you wear those => over spray poor performers and re-up as necessary. problem solved
Creed Aventus, once a scent of fame, Now lost its luster, it's just a name. Its price tag, high as the sky, But is it worth it? Let's give a try. Yes, the opening, fruity and fresh, But then, it fades away, oh yes, The dry down, nothing new to smell, It's just a common scent, but with a fancy spell. The performance, mediocre at best, It's longevity, not a match to the rest, The price tag, it's just absurd, For a scent that lasts, not more than a few hours. Creed Aventus, once a gem, Now it's just a shadow, a false emblem, Of luxury, exclusivity, and quality, But in reality, it's just an overpriced commodity. There are better scents, cheaper and refined, That will last longer, and won't leave you behind, In the trend, the hype, the social status, It's time to move on, Creed Aventus, it's just a fuss.
I'll thumb this down. The "worth it" proposition is a personal one. But it's still a refined scent. It's like we have to "move on" from Chanel No. 5 and Guerlain Shalimar too. Lol.
@@juliogonzalez7773 Lol. I have all three. I like Starwalker as a scent, but it's not Aventus. Lol. And so the Armaf, being much less natural and refined, last longer. It's still craft to Aventus' art.
@@JT-rx1eoThe "lasting longer" thing is the only argument CDN fanboys have. There's no other capacity where it beats Aventus. I returned my bottle of CDN just a week after purchasing it because it was literally making me nauseated. The harsh synthetic, lemon pledge odor made the experience of wearing it extremely unpleasant. Sure I got a few compliments from the people around me, but I fail to see the purpose if it's not pleasant for the person actually wearing it. And at the end of the day, regardless, it's still just a poor man's version of Aventus no matter how you slice it.
1)Not unique 2)Diluted fragrance water 3) from 120ml bottle to 100ml bottle and didn't reduce its price 4)poor performance for that price 5) packaging not luxurious at all compared to Xerjoff 5/10 I would rather wear Versace Pour Homme.
I see the difference between Aventus the real thing, whether current formulation or vintage, and a clone is the difference between art and craft. I haven't compared vintage batches with current ones but the art/craft comparison is still valid imo.
I tried (and unfortunately blind bought) quite a few Aventus clones,but none come close to the depth and complexity and even freshness Aventus has,all they did is ruined this fragrance DNA for me..until buying a sample of Elysium PC,that managed to bring back my love for this type of scent,i feel like it s worth it more than Aventus nowadays. I havent tried Hacivat yet tho.
I feel like it used to last way longer. All the creeds for that matter. Green Irish tweed is the only one that seems to stick for a long time. Bacarrat will last 24hrs easy lol
“Worth” is a measurement of value which is personal thing and separate from cost. I have several expensive bottles that I think were worth it and some cheaper ones that were a waste of money. I’ve also bought expensive frags that were a waste to me personally (I’m looking at you Layton). In the end fragrance is a luxury who’s effect is partially predicated on one’s own skin chemistry and environment. Nobody NEEDS to smell nice to live a full life. But if you WANT to smell nice then you need to make an individual calculation.
My 2020 bottle of aventus last 7-8 hours just because you can’t smell doesn’t mean it isn’t their anymore you will receive compliments way after you think it’s worn off
One of the first fragrances I was interested in getting my nose on because of Jeremy Fragrance and others was Aventus. Even picked up a bottle of Sillage by Armaf which I’ve given away due to lack of performance. Now that I’m more aware of my likes and dislikes, there are many fragrances that fit the same profile as Aventus does that I prefer over the Aventus DNA
If you are a dude trying to attract a dude, wear this stuff. Haha.. Crazy how it's an alluring fragrance that I love. Seems the compliments are 90% from guys.
The old batches from 2011/12 were amazing they had this smokey pinapple fresh scent to it and lasted for hours with the dry down being amazing aswell bought a new one and you are lucky to get 6hrs of performance on it its def not worth the price tag now.
That's funny, I get morning to night fragrance from my Aventus. In fact all of my Creed selections last all day. I can still it's fragrance when I shower at the end of the day.
Tried Aventus on several different occasions from different stores and it’s never smelled good to me. Way overrated and overpriced in todays market with so many other good competitors. Silver mountain water and santal are better.
It’s rubbish had a 2014 batch and I thought it doesn’t last at that time too but as soon some one open the door and it was all over the place and people were trying to find out who smell so good, aventus
“Maceration” begins from the moment a fragrance is produced, introducing new air into the bottle just lowers the quality. A fragrance oils/molecules are not fine wine or brandy, they will not improve with time but only spoil. I am sick of this maceration myth trying to justify Aventus’ 1-hour longevity smh.
I have creed Aventus and it lasts a maximum of 1 hour on my skin, usually about 30 minutes. Smells vaguely of pineapple. I’d rather wear nautica voyage
Just tried the sample, Aventus's opening is fresh and fruity, but few minutes after that it reminds me of some detergent/ing spray or Lysol with linen scent. I will pass.

5/10
I would rather wear Versace Pour Homme.
Xerjoff has the best presentation in the niche category. It completely provides you the satisfaction of spending $400-$500 on perfumery.
Wear this in 2023 and i’ve got nothing but compliments from both men and women
Same here bro one of my few that actually gets strangers to compliment me
I see the difference between Aventus the real thing, whether current formulation or vintage, and a clone is the difference between art and craft. I haven't compared vintage batches with current ones but the art/craft comparison is still valid imo.

Mfk is beast when is comes to performance.
No fragrance is worth more than 100€ in my opinion. You can always get a good fragrance at lower prices.
I don’t agree with that, you need to try more niche stuff
Lmao said no one ever at allll
Some amazing good long lasting and strong projection fragrances are more than 100

Yes but we hardcore FragHeads are nuts.
In my opinion, Amouage is among the few niche houses that are worth their price

I actually can’t stand club de nuit. Opening makes my stomach churn. One and only cologne I’ve ever smelt like that.
Smells like toilet cleaner.. wait.. worse
Love it or hate it.Still the King 🤴..
Tried Aventus on several different occasions from different stores and it’s never smelled good to me. Way overrated and overpriced in todays market with so many other good competitors. Silver mountain water and santal are better.
Club de Nuit is over hyped. al haramain l'aventure is so much better and smoother than club de Nuit intense edt.
Great fragrance if you wanna attract another male attention, but not good for women
It’s rubbish had a 2014 batch and I thought it doesn’t last at that time too but as soon some one open the door and it was all over the place and people were trying to find out who smell so good, aventus
Waste of money. TH-camrs hyped it so much. In general it is a bad fragrance.
If you want good performance get the oil version
I’ll take explorer anyday. Longer lasting and fresher
You should try Janan Gold
I must have gotten a good 2023 batch then cause mines nucular idk batch hype seems wack
What about Mont Blanc Explorer as an alternative?
He STARTED his collection with Aventus?? he must be swiming in dough
You have to let it macerate. It’ll become a beast by a few months from opening time
I bought it 9 months ago 😐
That’s the exact opposite of what happens to fragrances. Once you open them the quality starts to go down.
That's ridiculous. I used to own a 2019 batch. And I let it sit for a few months. And nothing change. Performance still weak af.

How are new batches with metal cap?
What do you think of King-D
It’s a hyped up rip off!
4/10 for me. I used to own a 2019 batch. Smells great. But very poor performance. Not worth the price tag.
ARMAF club de nuit much better option for money
is rassasi hawas still worth it ?
I have creed Aventus and it lasts a maximum of 1 hour on my skin, usually about 30 minutes. Smells vaguely of pineapple. I’d rather wear nautica voyage
Hi sir i got gift from you how to avail that pls reply me sir
Thank you love from India
I feel like creed is outdated smells like something your grandpa would wear! There’s a lot of really good options out there for less money
Just tried the sample, Aventus's opening is fresh and fruity, but few minutes after that it reminds me of some detergent/ing spray or Lysol with linen scent. I will pass.
It is over hyped perfume , armaf cdnim smells better than this after an hour
It was never worth it
dawg we get its not worth the money you dont have to say it 50 times in 50 different videos
But it's clone Named Armaf Club de nuit Intense Man is better than that.
However much I want to don’t like Aventus. It’s headache inducing
