This is partly due to how I store my scents, in a draw, and this one in particular, in it’s own box. The fragrance combines an inviting fresh and citrus scent with a woody smell, the combination of this produces a really alluring scent, smokey and well rounded. If you are looking for a signature scent and you’re looking to only buy 1 or 2 bottles for your collection, Creed Aventus should be considered. Well in every sense of the word, it does. First of all the longevity of the scent from spraying, it will go all day or all night, depending on when you put it on. Although it’s not as exclusive as it once was, it still has a killer smell, and therefore is recommended. Aventus is one of those scents that women like to smell on men.

From 2017 going forward, Creed has new bottle sizes. They have discontinued the 30ml and 75ml bottles of Aventus. The standard size bottles for Creed Aventus are now 50ml and 100ml bottles for the spray, along with the 250ml and 500ml bottles of the splash. Clones and Dupes usually exist for 2 reasons; The original scent no longer exists, or it’s very expensive. In the case of Aventus, it’s because of the high cost. There was that, “Hey what are you wearing” moment, that’s kind of been replaced with “Are you wearing Aventus”.The larger bottles are also pretty nice, but come in a more standard rounded rectangular design, with branding to the front. I really like the shape of this bottle. It’s a kind of triangular shape, almost like some kind of wide and weird pyramid, and certainly stands out a lot. So you have the balance of having a brilliant fragrance, however it’s not as rare as it once was. I really like to smell different to other guys, so when fragrances get incredibly popular in the mainstream, it does take that little special something which the scents bring with it. As it’s not cheap but coveted, there’s fake bottles which are sold online. To be sure of getting the genuine product, always buy from an authorised retailer (see above).

If you’re looking for a big night out scent or something that oozes masculinity, there’s plenty of alternatives to Creed Aventus you could try. Fake Creed Aventus

Creed Aventus Longevity

You shouldn’t really buy a clone, for so many reasons. When you buy a fragrance you are not only buying the great smell but the brand which goes with it, if you buy a dupe and someone asks, “You smell fantastic, what scent is that?”

Unlike other designer brands which licence their name to a mass producer and may use cheaper ingredients, Creed use a lot of natural ingredients in their products. The biggest problem these days is that the secret of Creed Aventus is out. It’s reputation has preceded it. You may have heard the phrase dupe or clone when it comes to aftershaves and fragrances, and may not know what they mean. As you may guess a dupe is a duplicate, the same as a clone, and it means a scent, usually from an unknown or lesser know brand, which smells exactly or as close to another. It’s well known for getting compliments, and since it’s well rounded you can wear it during the day around town or to the office, or on an evening or night out.

It stays with you a long time, several hours, a few sprays is all you will need. This is due to the fact it’s an EDP, Eau De Parfum, which is stronger than an EDT or cologne, so less is definitely more. It also lasts a long time in the bottle. I’ve owned this for around 6 years and it still smells as good now as it always has, and there’s no noticeable difference in how long it lasts. Creed Aventus is a really nice fragrance for men if you can afford to own a bottle. It’s a great all rounder, meaning that it can work in all situations, formal, casual and all weather types.
