Aventus Cologne by Creed

Do not buy it; it lasts the length of a single breath. If you are looking for something similar, go for Eros Energy; it lasts almost as long and smells identical when dry. Or, if you want an Aventus, choose the classic or the Absolu; the classic is the most charming.

Aventus Cologne is straightforward: it is the original with the volume turned down to avoid being intrusive, cleaner, more citrusy and elegant, speaking clearly without shouting. It is neat, sober and usable outside of parties. It makes me want to repurchase it even though I have already moved on from the original. It perfects the original with more citrus, less smoke and a cleaner musk. It draws attention through beauty, not through a fuss, noticeable at a medium distance like background music. It generates more compliments than its older sibling. Excellent performance all year round; I wore it today at 6°C and it worked wonderfully. In summer, it will be a spectacle. 10/10.

Fantastic scent, but honestly, not worth the price tag. Listen, young ones: don’t fall for the folly of throwing money away. Class and elegance don’t come from a cologne, but from a sober, intelligent, and measured attitude. Everyone indulges in little follies now and then, like getting a bit tipsy, but it should be with people who love and look after you. Perfumes don’t define anything; our conduct and actions do. If we are rude and flashy, even using the most expensive fragrances, we will never be elegant. But if we are cautious, respectful, and cordial, without being extravagant, then yes, we will be. This cologne is exquisite, but it doesn’t justify the cost; I’d prefer three or four good designer scents or twenty Arab ones for the same money. I’ve spent around 6,000 euros in four years, I think I lost count, and I haven’t even noted them all down. Previously, I used one or two colognes, Acqua di Gio Profumo all year round. When they discontinued it, I started buying six or eight a month, sometimes six a week. Designer and many Arab scents, I reached the conclusion that it’s an endless vice, an addiction like drug abuse. I no longer want to keep buying. It distresses me; I like them all, but they keep me in a void, seeking the satisfaction of the day that lasts only a day before the need to try something else returns. This week I spent 700 euros. I can afford it, I owe no one, I’m a lawyer working Monday to Sunday. But today I saw a family who couldn’t afford a slightly pricier ice cream for their children, and it broke my heart. I offered to pay for it to see them happy, but it was an illusion; those children would be happy for a few minutes, then the precariousness would return. Mind you, I come from the bottom; I worked from the age of nine as a ball boy at a tennis club, always working one of the two holiday months during my childhood. Now that I’m solvent, I feel a profound void. I don’t need to spend; I need to help. I want to be a good person. I’ve never been malicious, but I want to be a better human being. It’s strange, hard to understand. It’s not depression; I know I don’t want to die or cause trouble, just to help, to let them know there are rough types who are good and willing to help simply because they are alive. A hug, friends. Be good people above all else; there is nothing sexier or more elegant than being a good human being.

A delightful fragrance, reminiscent of the normal Aventus but with its own charm. I like this one more because it is more citrusy and less woody, without the smokiness of its sibling. A rich aroma, ideal for day or afternoon, not so much for night. From casual to semi-formal. Good longevity on skin for 7-8 hours, projects to 2 metres for the first 3 hours and then recedes to an arm, but always leaves bursts when moving.

It was a gift from my father, a very pleasant surprise. I imagine it is from the new batches with the silver cap and better quality than the plastic ones. There is nothing wrong with it, and if it was a gift, the surprise of everyone seeing the detail was incredible. On the first spray, my brother and uncles said it was a delight, a correct flanker that at an intermediate level resembles the Aventus a lot, but with a more marked and fresh citrus. The truth is, I loved it. I used it happily and it lasted more than 10 hours; I could even smell it at work after the whole day at the gym. It is very expensive; those who can afford it are lucky and it is truly a pleasure to wear. The bottle and cap are beautiful, the aroma is beautiful; generally, you cannot ask for more, only that it did not cost so much.

Very rich in notes, but it does not perform well in cost/benefit for me. I tested it on my arm and after 2 hours I could only smell it if I brought my nose close. Considering its value, I would not buy it given what has been mentioned.

It’s a masculine, fresh scent that smells better than the original. I don’t think it’s worth the price, as it’s expensive and there are fresher options of equal quality for less. The longevity is correct but not enough; you have to reapply during the day. Moreover, it no longer comes with a metal cap but with a poor-quality plastic one, a detail I didn’t like at all. I bought it on the official website. My advice is to look at other options and not pay for the brand and fame.

I like it more than Aventus Primary. It is a bomb of musk and woods with the ‘Aventus’ touch, with slight citrus and fruity notes. I am a fan of the musk/woods combo; it conveys elegance and cleanliness. I accept that, although I like it, the price and performance make me prefer other bottles on the market. The quality is noticeable: a very pleasant mandarin opening that defines the pillars. As it dries, spices and something sweet appear. It is a relaxing aroma, without harshness, clean, soapy but neutral, very elegant. Ideal for sunny days, formal occasions, or the office. Is it worth the cost? For some yes, but for me the official price is disproportionate. It performs little on my skin and is not surprising. Still, I like it more than the original.

CREED AVENTUS COLOGNE: What an exquisite thing. The most elegant lemon citrus in the world. It has the base of the father but very subtle and lasts more than 8 or 10 hours. A work of art.

I have never been an admirer of Aventus, but this is of great standard. The Cologne only partially takes up the original theme, removing blackcurrant, pineapple, and apple, resulting in being much fresher thanks to the mandarin, ginger, and pink pepper. The heart is more woody than the original. In general, it is a fruitier and spicier variation, spicy and fruity. At first it reminds one a lot of the progenitor, but in a very clean way, with a notable trail that people smell at 2 metres in the first hour. However, it quickly recedes to a comfortable, soft, silky, and soapy level, incredibly beautiful and transparent. There is similarity with the original, but the differences are large enough to not call it ‘Aventus light’, especially due to the slightly sweet tonka bean base that sometimes wins over the smokiness. The versatility convinces me; it is more wearable with high temperatures than the original. Longevity on my skin is about 6 hours. I think Creed risks the jump from the classic to the young, modern, and urban. We will try to find a bottle at a decent price.

Having Hacivat, the normal Aventus already seems redundant to me and even inferior. The Aventus Cologne is much fresher and more versatile, with a delicious aroma, good longevity, and projection. Too expensive, but worth it.

Okay, this fragrance is rich and a delightful scent, I do not deny it. But I cannot help but associate it with talcum powder; throughout the time it smelled to me of talcum powder. It smells rich and is easy to use, but I think it is an aroma too simple for the price it has.

Today I’m sticking with this version of Aventus: it’s a variation of the original, but it works better on my skin. It has great longevity and performance, although the trail isn’t exaggerated. It’s a more citrusy Aventus but with all the DNA of the mother fragrance. A great perfume, I recommend it even above its older sibling.

This is a fresher version of the original Aventus, although opinions vary. The Cologne is made for inexperienced noses; you’ll like it at first, but then you’ll see the original is more interesting. Both are excellent and pricey; don’t listen to anyone saying one is bad, both are good! Longevity is similar to the original. It smells like a mix of Aventus, Chanel Allure Sport, and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. It’s more conventional, as expected.

I loved it! It doesn’t resemble the classic Aventus much; it has a very pleasant powdery note. It seems more elegant, fresh, and versatile, something like Versace Pour Homme. A exquisite aroma!
