Surely Roja's Elysium was inspired by Aventus, for those of you who say they don't smell anything alike. But for me, I don't like Aventus' drydown because it smells like when you open one of those packs of pencils as a kid. Led, pencil wood and all. Elysium seems to retain its fruitiness longer into the drydown.
Nice review. Aventus is a staple in fragcomm and I love it when it’s compared to other fragrances, because most of us have a bottle of it or clone within our collections. Thanks for the review as I’ve been considering purchasing that Roja. Your video helps a lot. Thanks.
I wear Aventus and just recently got a sample of Elysium. I don’t smell similarities at all. Aventus is absolutely amazing and will continue to be my “scent” but the Elysium is pretty alluring. It takes me back to the days of Bath and Body Works Freesia spray days just ramped and refined. I’m a woman and love wearing both of these fragrances.
Unfortunately I have to completely AGREE with you on this comparison 🤭 I just received my Roja Dove Elysium Perfume today and although I prefer Roja Dove, but they do smell very similar 🥴😢 Now I’m wondering if I should return my Creed for something else 👀
So nice to watch your new review! 😊 a great one,as always. And yes,it seeems,there are people arourd us who compare every single fragrance to Aventus 😏😂
I recently got my hands on sample of creed aventus. I had really high hopes for because of the hype and the price. However, when i smelled it i was not as surpised as i thought i would. Its a really good fragrance but i was not completely surpised. Roja might be my next to try
I was smitten when I smelled that drydown in the air. You will love the Roja but remember these 2 are versatile scents so not te most unique out there. Might be a little underwhelming at first but they serve a great use in any collection imo
The Creed Fragrance Company has been purchased by BlackRock, a long term private capital company. Will BlackRock cut corners in the formulations of the Creed fragrances in order to increase profits? Wait and see.
Nah was teasing. Fair review and yep I agree the newer batches of Aventus, I now got the (19S Lot number) 2019 batch is not far from other Aventuses after trying four other batches. Go Aventus for statement guys and just get Bleu de Chanel EDP if you're thinking of getting Roja. Waste of money. IMHO
I have both. I have to say creed stays on me longer. Projection is good. Elysium Rocks but longevity is not there for me. 2 hours at best. After that it sits very close to the body. Thanks for video!
So over the hyped Creed Adventus. Its a solid fragrance if you want to attract other male attention. As a mass women don't really like Adventus. Not just my opinion. Watch the many blind street comparisons. Go with Elysium
2020 Creed Aventus is a complete joke. I bought one in the UK in November 2020 and it was like water....performance about 1-2 hours. I have Roja Elysium on my skin now and it seems like a cross between YSL Y and Creed Aventus, but better perforce than Aventus (YSL Y is actually very good in this area). Too bad since Creed was sold and is now run by a former soda pop CEO, the products have suffered.
I have yet to sample Hacivat but having smelled Fan your flames by this house I’m sure it will be a great quality scent. Really looking forward to try it some day
*Great comparison between both freshies, Steve!* Didn't smelled Elysium EdC so far (because my sensible wallet hates Roja 😉), but I'll stick to my Creed trilogy for summer Aventus/GIT/VIW. That will serves me well so far for a looong time (depot lasts approx. 12-15 years). *Have a goodsmellin' day!* ✌️🌞☕
Both are amazing houses. Roja has a bit more regality about it, but to me creed just has the wearability and mass appeal to it. These two fragrances have a similar vibe but are actually very different. I love both of them but when it comes down to it I have to go with Aventus, especially the older 2014 and 2015 batches that I own.
@ryanw1986 they smell just alike I put both of them on my arm Elysium just smells like a modern version of it and to tell you the truth aventus is overhyped
silent sir agree 100%. I do roll my eyes when I watch reviewers say they don't get why Aventus is loved so much, I just wish they could of experienced pre 2014 Aventus and they'd know exactly why it was dubbed the King.
I smelled it first in 2013 and honestly I don’t feel like there is so much change since then. People seem to blow this thing out of proportion. I have 2015 batch and 2016 batch that are both really smokey and make me think of what I smelled at first. It might have changed over the years, but imo it’s still really good 😊
@@treefiddy2579 yeah, they definitely changed Aventus...it went from smelling incredible and really complex with a kind of sweet smoky fruity birch with leather accord (I know there was never any actual leather "note" in it, Im just talking about the impression I got from the smell), to now really being a loud, flatter sweet, fruity, birchy thing that still smells great, but its definitley missing that slight leather accord impression I got initially.
silent sir I know what you mean about the leather accord. In general it was just way more potent and smoky. I still have my 13q01 bottle with a drip left and as soon as I remove the cap I just get a waft of heaven. My current 17u01 is just a disappointment in comparison.
Fragrance with Steve Glad to hear it's still working well for you, perhaps the new 100ml bottles are really where it went downhill for Aventus. Speaking from experience on a 2013 vs 2017 batch there's huge differences.
@Knowledge is Power 🙄bullshit, most of people that I have spoken to that have purchased Aventus, report the exact same thing that I initally posted. Your blanket response to my post tells me your being paid to advertise or have some sort of skin in the game for Aventus...the shit is severely over rated....sorry pal
Knowledge is Power you have no clue what you are talking about. I have purchase 4-5 creed Aventus in total and the projection and longevity is very poor. Yes around 7-8 years ago , Aventus was fantastic , now, it’s pointless buying a bottle as the scent disappears within an hour or two. It’s a shame as it’s a beautiful scent but not worth the price due to very poor performance and longevity
So someone is snobby because they can afford to wear something they want when they want? That’s the mindset that keeps people poor and bitter, rise up instead of bashing someone that is successful....
dont wear this at the gym, wear Hugo boss reversed instead… it is like 150 € cheaper… wearing a 200-300 € scent for the gym is for the most of the People out there waste of Money...

I’m glad it helps brother and thank you for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantabulous comparison
How long do fragrances last? I have over 30 types and I never really took into consideration that they could go bad
Great review. Much appreciated
Great video thanks for doing this one 🙌
You check fragrantica during sets?
Great thoughts. These two do go head to head. I would hope for aventus. I agree that Elysium more similar blue de chanel.

I own both and enjoy both. There is a similarity between the two, but they are different enough to warrant purchasing both of them.
So nice to watch your new review! 😊 a great one,as always. And yes,it seeems,there are people arourd us who compare every single fragrance to Aventus 😏😂
Haven’t tried the Elysium, but I do have Aventus. Thanks for the video! Btw Aventus is great.
Excellent review.

What year is your bottle? Get one of the new 100ml bottles and you'd probably chuck it in the bin
Is it just me but i don't wear fragrances in the gym. I don't like my sweat mixing with whatever..😮
Out of interest - have you ever layered the two?
I just bought both. Cheers!
Roja is on another level
Is aventus batch 18k01 good ?

Lasts about 8 hours on my skin !
Elysium for the gym boy you must be rich lol
I have so many bottles of fragrance it really does’nt make sense to save up. I just enjoy what I have while I can 👍🏻
@Jay Ants Im starting to lean towards his approach... enjoying what I have without restricting myself too much
I wear Xerjoff Richwood when I take out the garbage.🤣🤣
So over the hyped Creed Adventus. Its a solid fragrance if you want to attract other male attention. As a mass women don't really like Adventus. Not just my opinion. Watch the many blind street comparisons. Go with Elysium
Roja Danger woman love the most

Nobody said there alike,just roja E is a better scent
I’m amazed you can travel back in time to check the general opinion online. Wow
I already tried Creed Aventus because I love Pineapple notes and musk but I am curious about Elysium because I adore grapefruit notes mmmmm!
Lu Salome ?
😉👌
Neither! Hacivat only!
MK2 SvPr4 my next buy
I still can find any cologne that can compete Hacivat. It's so amazing and my first niche fragrance
Blind bought Nishane Hacivat. Biggest mistake ever! Couldn't hate a fragrance more.
What do you think about nishane hacivat?
I have yet to sample Hacivat but having smelled Fan your flames by this house I’m sure it will be a great quality scent. Really looking forward to try it some day
you didn't ask me but as a owner of hacivat I would say that the smell is very nice but its a bit airy (which is a minus for me)
Hakim Hamza what do you mean airy?
tracer073 it's not that dense. It's like you can't smell it but it is there. Aventus is more dense than this one.
I have Aventus and Hacivat . Personally I much prefer Hacivat , Aventus smells pretty weak in comparison
To me, elysium is lighter but better than aventus.
Aventus is my choice
*Great comparison between both freshies, Steve!* Didn't smelled Elysium EdC so far (because my sensible wallet hates Roja 😉), but I'll stick to my Creed trilogy for summer Aventus/GIT/VIW. That will serves me well so far for a looong time (depot lasts approx. 12-15 years). *Have a goodsmellin' day!* ✌️🌞☕
Great scents Markus. Enjoy your day too brother 😉
Elysium smells more high class.
Whoa, I feel like a boss wearing Aventus, alone! Was thinking Elysium would be more of a younger crowd pleasing perfume. Will check it out
@@ntwalipat2 Aventus: Rich kid living off daddies money. Elysium: The Bank
theandroids
Lol, that’s a funny analogy! I’ll definitely check it out!
@@ntwalipat2 👍
Aventus: Rich kid living off daddies money. Elysium: The Bank.
Viking: The Federal Reserve
Both are amazing houses. Roja has a bit more regality about it, but to me creed just has the wearability and mass appeal to it. These two fragrances have a similar vibe but are actually very different. I love both of them but when it comes down to it I have to go with Aventus, especially the older 2014 and 2015 batches that I own.
Any old empty bottle and caps hanging around?
Roja has the regality when Creed has the long history of Royal warrants?
i still smell elysium and its closer to bond no 9 bleecker street
If I said it once I said it twice Roja parfums Elysium is a modern better aventus
@ryanw1986 I have Elysium right now you need to get your nose checked
@ryanw1986 they smell just alike I put both of them on my arm Elysium just smells like a modern version of it and to tell you the truth aventus is overhyped
@ryanw1986 that's cool I respect your opinion also I'm crazy about fragrances I'm always trying to add to the collection
That'd be an insult to Aventus! What Aventus batch do you own?! Lol, there are some fake Aventus bottles circulating on the second-hand market!
@@ntwalipat2 you need to check it out
Have you smelled Roja Haute Luxe?🤴
I have and it's amazing although very pricey!
Get Real its Godly

Great Video...currently my vote goes to Elysium.
1) Vintage Aventus
2) Elysium
3) Present day Aventus

2 heavy hitters
Five stars brother !! 🖐👺
High five !
@@FragrancewithSteve 🖐😆
Of course Roja is way better
Enjoy!
you only have the smokiness with the ...right batch of A v e n t u s, current versions, not so much
Give them some time
That's what i'm looking for the smokey batch of Aventus.
Roja Doves Elysium is ok.
That’s why you want to test every box
Cree psh
clapping at the start of the video....what's next clapping and spinning ?
;)
Definitely NOT
Both nice, but I prefer Mancera cedar boise.
I have never received a compliment when wearing aventus extremely overrated very poor projection very poor longevity skin level scent

Elysium is everything Aventus wishes it was!
Doubt it ! Wonder how many bottles Elysium sells compared to Aventus
Elysium all day.
They share zero similarities smell wise too.
True
Over the best batch of Aventus?!🤯
Wearing Elysium or Aventus to the gym is, unless you have a very high disposable income and lifestyle, pretty snobby imo
So someone is snobby because they can afford to wear something they want when they want? That’s the mindset that keeps people poor and bitter, rise up instead of bashing someone that is successful....
You mean to tell me, you can’t pull it off every once in a while?!
dont wear this at the gym, wear Hugo boss reversed instead… it is like 150 € cheaper… wearing a 200-300 € scent for the gym is for the most of the People out there waste of Money...
It's never a waste IMO as we never know how long we can enjoy our time on earth but I hear you. I just wear whatever I like whenever I want
hey man if he can afford it then why not. shit i wish i could afford to wear elysium to the gym. i wear fa deodarant spray to the gym 😂
Can u buy both for me and send it to us for me I'll pay
