- just an everyday guys opinion on what is the best option for people who want Aventus but can't get the real thing due to the best batches running out! I'm no expert but here's my opinion anyway 😉
Can we trust a guy who has a body bag in the background! Lol just kidding. Good video sir!
🤣
This is the better review on this subject of Creed Aventus and some its most popular dupes... The thing that sets your review apart from others is the fact that you have two good examples of Creed Aventus on which compare with... I would agree with the information that you are presenting here.. It is good to see the comparisons made when the real deal is also present within as it makes it easier for a viewer to make a positive decision without wasting money on impulse purchases that all too often lead to disappointment. Well done thanks.
Cheers mate 👍 I do consider myself a bit of an informed lover of Aventus and I've done a fair bit of research on the various batches and ingredient changes that have caused the huge batch variation we've seen over the last 9-10 years.
Chasing 'grail' batches became a bit of a side adduction if I'm honest, but hopefully the video gave some insight to alternatives that are out there for you.
I'm doing another video next Tuesday with an update to my conclusion about where Aventus is now and what the absaloutly best dupe is for ppl after the very best version available now.
Thanks again for the kind comments 👌👍
I really do find theses videos informative and they are exactly what’s needed for an informed decision. Thank you, keep it up
Cheers buddy 👍 il do an updated version soon, a few of the dupes have macerated so hopefully it will be a balanced update on my initial findings 😊
Thanks for the detailed comparison, you pretty much helped me end my search for the best Aventus clone, I had Explorer , cdnim edt and I at the moment have cdnim edp and had my eye on the pure parfum version is it now I know for sure, Limited Edition without a doubt must be the one.
Thanks for the great comments mate 👍
You won't be disappointed with the Limited Edition, its a very good buy if you can get it for a reasonable price.
It gets better with some maceration too, mine is 10 months old and it's even more of a powerhouse now 😀
@@chrisperry5244 word UP bro.
Very informative video 👌
Thank you for comparing them all.
I still have about 70% of my 17N01 batch but I'll be buying the limited edition parfum this week to try it out.
I just subscribed keep up the good content 👍
Cheers for the comments mate 👍
Funnily enough a mate of mine has 17N01, it compares really well with my 17S01, possibly even better performance
so a very good batch👌
I don't blame you for wanting to have a good alternative to use to save on using up the 17N.
You will be really happy with the CDNIM LE, remember as well that it definitely gets even better after a few months maceration 🤝
Great review, ive already subscribed to your channel, i am your 7th subscriber, you have cleared the air about aventus clones, one of the best indepth explanation to the core ive met on CZcams.Thanks alot
Cheers buddy 👍 I went on a bit long and probably should of split it in to 2 videos. I'm going to be doing an Aventus Batch video part 2 in the next few days, there's a few things happening with older batches so be sure to check it out.
I've got a week off next week so il be uploading 4 or 5 videos hopefully 👍
This is a great video and really helpful! I got a decant of Aventus in my literal first fragrance buy as a hobby and fell in love. I decided early on that I was going to buy a bottle but I wanted to wait for a good time when it made sense financially. I had a bonus coming up at work and I decided it was time, so I started pricing in anticipation. Long story short, it was in my cart when sample cards of Cedrat Boise and the intense arrived. It was love at first sniff for the intense, so I ultimately bought that instead of actual Aventus. Here I am now, looking for something more like actual Aventus lol.
I can't speak about old batches of cedrat Boise, but I had no issues with performance from it even from the little sample sprayer. I only have maybe 20 total fragrances so having the intense and the original is probably not super smart right now but I wouldn't hesitate to the recommend it to others based on current formulation.
Hey buddy, thanks for the comments 👍
Cedrat Boise Intense is simply superb so you made an excellent decision there, especially as your other option was a current Aventus batch which quite frankly is a pale imitation of what it once was so you made the right decision 💯 👌.
Other than my 6 bottles of Aventus I've only got around 17 niche frags in my collection now, I've got a ton of great dupes too but nowadays I have to really think hard before another niche purchase, although I did buy my wife Angel Share for Xmas, on the understand we could share it 😉😀. Il be doing a review and comparison video very soon 👍
Great video!! straight forward to the point.
Cheers buddy, I'm putting a couple more up next week, I've got a PDM Layton one comparing it to a great clone I've found and an Initio OFG with another clone 👍
Great video mate. Stopped me from going too far down an Aventus rabbit hole, was incredibly surprised at how short-lived the current batches are based on a sample, 3-4 hours tops which for the money is insane. Now proud owner of CDN IM Limited Edition and Cedrat Boise Intense, both of which are epic *and* great value. 105ml of each for less than 30ml Aventus, Thanks again 👍
Cheers for the comments buddy 👍
I'm glad I could help out with some advice mate👌
You bought 2 fantastic frags there, the CDN LE gets even better with a bit of maceration too.
I think the Cedrat Boise intense is 120ml so that's an even better deal, especially as you say compared to the latest Aventus batches being basically lemon water 😀.
I am doing a little video on Aventus batches next week, and the general do's and don'ts for where to buy and what to look out for if people do want to chase a particular batch down👍
Perfect! Congratulations!
Cheers buddy 🍻
Really enjoyed this Chris really hope you continue to make vids... Out of curiosity have you ever smelled dolce and gabbana pour homme (1994) version with the sticker label.. It's a personal favourite of mine.. Alot to do with nostalgia from going out in the 90s..but also it's smells amazing
Cheers Mikey I'm really glad you liked it 👍. I waffled on a bit but Aventus and all its many clones is quite a big topic 😀 . I remember very fondly D&G Pour Homme, I'm pretty sure I had the sticker version too! That takes me back a bit to my 90s clubbing youth too 😎, what an awesome scent that was/is. I picked up an original formulation Tommy a cpl of years back, I sprayed that like crazy during the 90s, it comes in the original splash on bottles, fantastic memories. Il be doing a new video every week, although il try and keep them a bit shorter 🙂 Baccarat rouge 540 and it's dupes 😖😃
Excellent stuff buddy keep up the good work 👍🏼
Excellent vid! I really enjoyed it!
Cheers buddy 👍
I waffled on a bit but Aventus and its chequered batch issues is a well documented long story 😀.
I'm glad you liked it, I've done a cpl more and il be uploading another one tommorow on Layton and it's clones 👍
love your content, continue
Nice video Mr Chris, the clone wars!
Cheers bud! I've got a Layton one coming up, I've found a really really good clone that's better than the OG 👌
Great video, thanks!
You're welcome! Cheers bud 👍
I got into Aventus in 2022 worst year of Aventus lmao but eventually I got good old batch’s and I appreciate what Mont Blanc explore has done but the fact is none of these have anything on Aventus and I appreciate your video and time on making them I hope to see more batch reviews etc you did a great job covering this topic 👌🏼
Thanks for the great comments buddy 👍 🍻
I'm glad you managed to find some good batches in the end, my advice would be to hold on to them and use them sparingly for special occasions etc.
Like you say it really was incredible and will always be the King in my opinion, I just wish they could make it like they use too 😔
On a side note I can heartily recommend Naxos by Xerjoff, it's incredible juice, probably my most complimented after the king, totally different scent profile but incredible none the less 👌
So what’s the best batch of creed? I want to buy a bottle but don’t quite understand the batches and if I’ll even end up with a good one.
@Dukerson hi mate, ohhh now there's a question 🤔 😀.
The best batch is a case of much debate amongst the Aventus addicts like myself!
Personally I love 15X21 and I'm also a massive fan of 15U11, 17S01 and 14G01 to name just 3 😁
Other members will say the smokeyness from the pre-2014s (so the 12/13 years) are the best, I had a 12L01 but I thought it had a whiff of bacon crisps about it 😀
But ultimately it boils down to what batches are actually available, and which is the best batch from that list that you prefer.
There's so much fakery with aventus that you might not even be getting that 16M01 you've just paid £300 for (another beauty) but some fake juice in a legit bottle.
Personally I'd join a legitimate Facebook group and but some decants from trusted members, I'd go from post 2016 so 16/17/18/19 batches as they are around for sale if you know where to look and generally the dedicated fan sites will have a trusted sales section.
Don't just jump in blind on ebay as its murky waters on there with the fakers.
On a side note ANY 17/18 or even 19 batch will hands down be better than anything later than that so maybe start with a batch from those years.
I hope that helps buddy 👌
@@chrisperry5244 thanks for your perspective. I’ve had several clones , sold them. And now have decants of creed aventus and cologne from decantx. So you’re saying buying a bottle in today’s age from a discounter isn’t worth it?
@@chrisperry5244As you’ve warned in the video and comments batch searching is a very expensive learning curve and as you’ve suggested the best thing to do is forget about it and move on to newer and better things that is why I bought several retails of absolu Aventus 10 years from now godwiling I’ll look back and have no doubt I’m wearing legit and well stored juice.
Great video mate. Really informative. Have you by any chance tested the CDNIM Pure Parfum? Comes in the 150ml bottle. Just wondered how that one compares.
Cheers buddy 👍 yes I have the 150ml black bottle CDNIM, it's actually pretty good tbf! Not quite as smooth as the LE but for the price it's quality 👌. The dry downs are so similar too. Incidentally I picked up an original batch of the CDNIM EDT, it's really good too, lighter and even more silage than the parfum 🍻
Good review because you are familiar with Aventus AND have the older formulations in the video to show viewers that a fair comparison to be made.
i love your reviews they are fun and interesting to watch and i watched every one of them from start to finish. you inspired me to finally buy the limited edition parfum i just received it and it smells a lot like smoked deli meat like salami. i never smelled the original batches of aventus but im wondering if the limited edition is really as close to the original batches of aventus as you say because i dont know about you but i guess the limited edition smells like smoky meat on me lol
Hey buddy, thanks for the comments 👍
Wow I've never heard it described as that before! Umm all I can think is its a bad batch/bottle 🤔.
Even before its macerated it should be really smooth and very citrus off the top going into a sweet woods and moss (although the sweet woods develop more over time) definitely no processed meat vibes 😳😃
I'm sorry to hear its a disappointment mate. Personally I'd get a refund and buy it from somewhere else or at least an exchange mate 👍
Are you in the UK?
It's not about the batches. Just use the stuff. As you spray, the alcohol seeps out and it becomes stronger over time. Or just get Club de nuit edt/edp. I recommend edt because it retains something special that gets lost in the edp/limited. Drives the ladies crazy. CDN Edt is my most complimented smell ever.
Cheers for the comments mate. Funnily enough I've just purchased the original edt (2019 version) so il be interested to try it out when it arrives. Unfortunately with Aventus the batches did vary massively although since 2020 its all the same crap so batches aren't important anymore lol
I have so many bottles of cdnim i should get a will written up to list how many generations i want to inherit them lol
Even armaf has all the silliness with batches. The earlier batches were the powerhouses apparently.
Hamidi addicted is claimed to be super close... I own hamidi but not creed so i cant comment. Thanks for the video geeza
I've heard their older batches were stronger, apparently it's the bottles without the Club De Nuit written down the sides which are the originals.
I bought CDN LE when it first came out, it's a powerhouse tbf.
It's made hunting down older batches of Aventus redundant as its so close to the 2015s/17s.
Il be doing an update video very soon 👍
Thank you for this! Very in depth review with the *actual* good Creed Aventus'es to compare them with.
My question is have you smelled the Club the Nuit Pure Parfum 150ml bottle? And how is it compared to the Limited Edition version? Most people say that are the same without the fancy packaging.
Hi mate, cheers for the positive comments 👍
I've got the 150ml CDNIM parfume (black bottle) so if that's the one you mean it's very very good.
CDNIM LE is very similar but it's smoothened out the slightly harsh opening of the edt and edp and smells a little bit more refined through the top, middle and bottom notes.
I also find the LE has matured very nicely over the last 6 months, where as the EDP has stayed pretty much the same, but it's fantastic anyway so no problem there.
Which ever one you get you will be very happy with as they both do an excellent job of recreating Aventus, I just feel the LE has done it a bit better.
I hope that helps mate 👍
@@chrisperry5244 Ok, this helps a lot, thank you! 👍
@pooolish334 I'm happy to help buddy 👍🥂
Many people start the fragrance game with Creed Aventus reviews and clone battles - and therefore, we have watched more than enough videos explaining even the tiniest details about creed Aventus and clones.
To that extent, many people are now just cloning videos / reviews to have content. on CZcams but not actually REVIEWING.
Anyways, thanks for the output but # record brief and comprehensive videos (CONCISE)
Thanks for the comments
There are many many videos on Aventus but I don't think I've seen any from actual collectors who have experienced/owned quite as many batches as I have.
That's why this video was a long one as its quite a big area of the dupe market.
My following videos have all been much shorter (CONSICE) thankfully 😉 👍
@@chrisperry5244
Good to note.
I'm a perfume enthusiastic person and shall always follow your output and advice.
.
I bought the Mancerat and the CDIM EDP for the purpose of testing/comparing and cause I have an open mind. They smell nice but are both absolutely appalling, synthetic and unbearable to the nose after a few hours. They are disgusting to my nostrils, they don't make you feel good, you want to wash it off as they are so offensive and give you a headache. Up close, or if we are in a car together my girlfriends also get a headache with it. Smell is ok from far but it's not pleasurable.
Aventus and Hacivat however smell fantastic whether from far or up close, and feel gorgeous even over hours. It's hard to explain but they make me feel good. When women come close to my neck for kisses and all, it makes them come closer rather than having a headache!
You probably got fake stuff that's going around. 99% of stuff makes me feel that way, too. But the CDN edt did not.
Hamidi Addicted intense parfum also smell like an Aventus.
Is it synthetic at all? I am interested 😊
What’s the name of the fragrance that you said was the best dupe
Hi mate, it's called Club De Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition.
Here's another video I did about it 👍
czcams.com/video/JyheAePrBp0/video.htmlsi=fhVBDaN1al6K1WKf
What is the last one called? Please list names of these in description. Very informative video
The yellow bottle
Cedrat Boise Mancera
Yes it's Cedrat Boise. I would suggest going for a pre 2020 bottle if you can find one, if not splash the extra on the intense version which I recently picked up, it's fire 🔥 😊
I don't have the CDNIM LE but I have the Pure Parfum and EDP versions and, to my nose, I'd put L'aventure above everything you have there except the Parfum which some people have mentioned is the same as the LE with a different bottle. I would agree L'aventure doesn't perform as well as any of the CDNIM but smell wise, L'aventure is closest to recent Aventus out of all of them. Unfortunately, I only have a recent sample of Aventus to compare to though. Explorer was awful to me. Smells nice, terrible performance.
Cheers for the comments mate 👍
It's amazing how all our noses are different, I just don't get much from L'Aventure, it does give out that Aventus citrus/bergamont off the top but to my nose I didn't get the moss or sweet woods coming through very much but thats more of a comparison against older Aventus batches tbf,
and like you say its performance isn't the best but it is defo pleasant 👌
I agree totally about explorer though, I just don't get the hype and I'd take any Club De Nuit over it 👍
@chrisperry5244 loved your video BTW. It was the first video of yours I've seen but it won't be the last.
@andboom293 nice one mate 👍
I'm picking up another edition to my Aventus collection nxt week and il be doing a special video on it.
As always any advice or help I'm always happy to oblige 👌
How does LE club de nuit compared to Insidious?
Hi mate, I did do a separate video in Insidious if you want to check that out 👍
In a nutshell it's not as good 😕, although I am gonna let it macerate for a few months and see if thst helps
@@chrisperry5244 thanks for sharing. Thank you for saving me $130 because I was going to buy it due to the reviews. Unfortunately I sold my Club de nuit LE because I felt it was too smoky for my liking and I barely got any pineapple. Had it for 3 months and sold it
Whats that cologne called fredric what?
Frederic Malle? Its a range of frags, scent of a lady etc 👍
Did you do al haramian Laventure "Intense" or just the regular?
Just the regular one mate, il pick up the intense once it's available in the UK 👍
Never smoked, don’t vape, bottle of creed once a year ain’t much to treat myself to
We all deserve something mate, what's it all about if we can't treat ourselves once in a while, we deserve it 👌👍
I know Aventus has many fans and all, but I smelled it at the store and I'll rather just buy some lemon essential oil and rub it on lol. It leaves a nice smell after but you have to sniff it to smell anything, and in the end I find it incredibly overrated
If your talking about the current Aventus batches that are from the last few years then I agree, it's a pale shadow of its former self.
If you took a whiff of anything from 2018 or before then it's a whole different fragrence mate 👌
Which one is smokey?
The CDNIM LE mate 👌
Enjoyed the video, however it’s hard to understand the names of the fragrances with your accent, no offense given.
Thanks for the comment mate, my accent is a bit Essex boy lol. Was there any particular fragrence you wanted to know about?
For me not only intense does not look like aventus or hacivat. Idk, i just didnt like it, 90% i smell is that black currant smoke/cigarete smell unfortunately
Agree
Too biased a review
Sadly I hate the smell of Creed I’ve got a 2015 batch and 2020 both gifts but Bleu De Chanel knocks Creed into a cocked hat.
Everyone's nose is different mate, bleu de chanel is wonderful stuff and if it's your fave then that's great 👍
Just found you the other day... burned through all your content... great job, man. You're likeable and informative. Consider trying Insidious for us. I would certainly value your opinion.
Cheers for watching buddy 🍻. I've uploaded a cpl more today 👍
A pal of mine has got insidious I think so il grab his bottle and do a test on it 👌
I just dont know why montblanc keeps getting mentioned as a clone. It is not. Like you said, its more of an inspired by. L’aventure INTENSE and club de nuit intense limited edition are the closest you will get to aventus. Great review 👍🏼
Cheers for the comments 👍 I agree about Montblanc, it isn't a direct clone but just MBs own bergamont/woody take on the genre, most houses have a citrus/wood and that's theirs 😃.
Montblanc themselves are a very well established brand (I owned one of there exceptionally made belts at some point) so they don't need to copy anyone.
I can't remember if if I mentioned it in this video but they do a superb Explorer deodorant stick, it's a real gem when your rocking Aventus or Explorer. 💪👌
