  • In this video I let you know if Creed Aventus is still worth buying in 2023!
    Since its release in 2010 the fragrance from Creed has been massively hyped and popular throughout the fragrance community.
    The brand says;
    Aventus celebrates strength, vision and success, inspired by the dramatic life of war, peace and romance lived by Emperor Napoleon. The bottle is emblazoned with a silver emblem of a horse and rider.
    The finest ingredients were hand-selected for this composition, and father and son developed this provocative, masculine and optimistic fragrance as a joint effort.
    Top notes: blackcurrant, bergamot, apple and pineapple. Heart: rose, dry birch, Moroccan jasmine and patchouli. Base: oak moss, musk, ambergris, and vanilla.

    Agree, Aventus is worth buying for me as well. I do love my clones/inspired by, and some do smell closer than others. In the end they're all missing something from the original. I get around 6-7 hours with my bottle, and that is plenty. Aventus is kind of a weird one with me. I love it, but after 5-6 hours I have had enough. Great vid brother!!

    I currently have 3 fragrances from Creed: Original Santal, Millesime Imperial, and Aventus Cologne. Aside from genuinely enjoying those, I really do believe that Aventus isn't part of my lineup for the simple fact that it's the most popular Creed fragrance, but I recently got a good-sized sample from a Creed rep, and to my surprise, my wife said it's her favorite scent of *everything* in my collection (I'm still ranking Tuxedo as my personal favorite, but that's obviously so much less versatile). After watching this vid, I agree with everything you said here, and I think it helped motivate me to go out and get a bottle.

    I would say it’s worth it if you really have the extra money to spend. Even if you have the dupes. But beware once you start using higher quality ingredients your nose will become spoiled and will expect that same quality across the board. Most people don’t know what synthetic ingredients smell like till they smell natural. Can you afford to be picky?! It’s very subjective. Great video.

    Still one of the best smelling fragrances to date. Clean, sharp, woody, citrusy, fruity, smoky and very versatile and luxurious. I have a newer batch, 2021 after selling my 2017 bottle and the new one it's still awesome. Never got an issue with the performance. It reaches 6-8 hours easily and sometimes even more. It's a tricky one but the smell is heavenly. And most important for me is the overall quality of the smell. I have many dupes/interpretations of it but none can equal Aventus.
    Maybe not worth the retail price but worth "hunting" some discounts.

    I don't have a bottle of Aventus but I do have Green Irish Tweed and Silver Mountain Water and love them both. I own Explorer and wear it when I want that Aventus vibe but don't feel I need to own the OG. I agree with you, I don't think Cedrat Boise smells like Aventus. If I take a whiff from the bottle, there is some similarity but once it hits skin, the Intense Cedrat Boise is a totally different scent.

    Another great video Gerard! For my money, Aventus isn’t worth it. I have 3 clones (BR Black Walnut Legend, EL London, & Cremo Bergamot & Musk) and enjoy all 3. The scent itself is nice, however, I have several signature worthy scents in my collection that I would still choose over Aventus I.E. Terre ‘d Hermes, Profumo, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver & Beau de Jour. Thats just where my preferences are. If I was going to buy a Creed, I’m starting with Green Irish Tweed.

    I also recommend Nishane Hacivat. Right now you can get a 3.4 bottle for 140 bux and it is a banger. Similar to aventus but is longer lasting and better projection. I really recommend you get a bottle for review it is blind buy worthy.

    Wouldn't bother wasting your money. I first smelled it about 5 or 6 years ago from a distance from someone at work. It blew me away, I loved it from the first smell but couldn't afford it at that time. Moving forward to 4 or 5 months ago I bought a bottle from Creeds website. I've never been so disappointed with it. I thought I'd been sent a fake fragrance. There's hardly any fruit notes in it. More woody notes. It doesn't project how it used to do and it doesn't last long on the skin. I think that when creed sold their company the new owners reformulated it watered it down and totally ruined the scent just for pure profit.

    When you buy Creed, you buy the name. Quality is on the down side. The new Batches dosen't last. I have 2 different batch and one is from 2020 hlf way and a new 2022 one performence is weak, macerate process doesn't help.
    I have diferent inspiration of it, and some af them are better in their own way, and last a lot longer than Creed. Loewe Escensia EDP, CDNIM Limited Edition, Supremacy Not only intense (more on the side of Hacivat), Al Haramain L'Venture, Rumz Al Rasasi and Shaheen Silver. This Have better performance. The prices are lower and you can have all for the price of one Aventus. Is crazy but for me, i have no need of more Aventus. And this fagabce have their own path in term of smell.

    Hey I was told that the creed boxes dont come wrapped in cellophane. The one I purchased using your discount/link did… is Vendba a legit seller of creed? because im starting to think not and if so I wouldn’t be telling people to buy from them. I paid $300 for something that is very questionable right now.

Some US authorized dealers are asked to remove the cellophane if they receive it with it. However not all are asked and not all do it. Venba offers not only an authenticity guarantee but a 15 day return policy. They are also recognized as a trusted source in creed groups.

    we are poor in Brazil
    this $300 is same as $3000 for you (when you compare to the salaries)
    so a clone that is $30, its the same money you would spend going for dinner anywhere for 1 person, right?
    but here this $30 would be like $300.. the money for a dinner is not the same as a fragrance.. you can have dinner 5 times or more
    that is one of the reasons I will never go niche.. and also because I am cheap hahaha

    I might be willing to pay around that area for something a bit different, setting me apart.
    Montblanc explorer has been my most complimented scent ever so i feel like i don't need aventus.

      I would probably change my opinion if Creed didn’t have batch inconsistencies. If I was creed I wouldn’t rush out to make another year’s supply unless the perfuming ingredients were exactly the same, with less production it actually makes sense to be marketed as a niche product and would be more justifiable @ $400, especially if the fragrance was only re-released every 3-5 years.

Here is the right review, don’t listen to this guy and don’t buy creed, they don’t last. Keep refreshing, get any batch code, it don’t last more than 38 min. Do the test, after 38 mins it start disappearing, not fading but disappearing. Man go get your nose tested.

      Appreciate your feedback Jawaria. I do get a small commission from sales but I've been completely transparent about that. I'm growing the channel so anything I make goes right back into the channel. Equipment, product, my time, etc. I'm passionate about fragrance just like you which I assume to be the case because you are here. Also, I will NEVER recommend a fragrance that I don't personally use or enjoy. Lastly we just flat out disagree on Creed. I own a few bottles of creed that I paid for myself that I recommenced because my experience with them has been great. My Aventus is a 2021 batch that lasts all day on me. It sounds like you've had a terrible experience with Creed maybe you should start a CZcams channel and make that your first video.

I’m just here to make new comers aware of the things which influencer do to them. It’s your business I understand but don’t damage others. A little bit here n there missing thing can be balanced but what you are doing is shoving that product down to someone’s throat. Creed was never been a long lasting perfume which ever batch code you are talking about. It’s max time is 2 and half hour but recent batch do not last longer than 38 min, test yourself. Set the timer n check, if I’m wrong than I’m willing to do whatever you say. But don’t put a dent in someone’s pocket, silence is better than encouraging that this is overwhelming product. N by the way 38 mins of creed is only on fresh skin, right after your shower. On fabric n non non fresh skin, forget about those 38 mins too. Test it n prove me wrong.
