3 Reasons to Buy & Not to Buy Creed Aventus - Review & Considerations for 2022

When someone thinks of niche fragrances houses, typically there is a subconscious understanding that they are lesser-known than popular designer scents. However, there are some exceptions, perhaps the leading one being Creed Aventus, a 2010 creation from the brand that has transcended its niche classification and has become one of the most hyped fragrances in the world regardless of genre. But how much of that is warranted? In this video, we’ll discuss Aventus'scent profile, and 3 reasons to buy and not to buy in 2022.

I know many will say this is old news, but it was inevitable to cover Aventus on this channel at some point. What are your thoughts on Aventus? A timeless classic worthy of the praise, a hyped scent that falls short of its reputation, or something in the middle of the extremes?

[@Alex-gg2ws]

I like the scent and honestly regard it in much the same way as a rich dessert: not something to indulge in too often to appreciate it all the more when you do.

Aventus is definitely a timeless classic, just like Green Irish Tweed. It gets a lot of hate lately, but it remains a masterpiece.

I bought this fragrance right at the introduction in 2010. I was looking for a special fragrance, researched online and found this recommendation of a "brand new" niche scent. I went to the only store in town which sold it, one of the biggest shopping houses in europe. No one knew Aventus back then and barely did people knew about Creed. I smelled the frangrance and fell in love. To this very day, I have never ever smelled a better thing like this first bottles of Aventus. It is really by far the most heavenly smell on earth. I got compliments for left and right. In public office buildings in elevators, where never strangers start to talk, someone said "who is smelling so good" and a chatter about it started. On the street people stopped me: "Is this you, wow you smell so good!". Women, men, adults, older people. It was crazy. It was unbelievable. I received so many compliments, one day in an office I worked the boss came over and asked us: "Who is smelling so good, the whole office smells so good!" I knew it was me, had only sprayed two times. I told him and in the middle of work he went to the store and came back with Creed Aventus. Then the reformulations started: first, the Birch note was nearly completely vanished. By this time, many people started to buy this fragrance which was a real weapon. There is a reason people called it panty dropper. It really was. Why should there be so many people calling it like this if there never was something to it? It was. It just changed by the time the real masses adopted the fragrance. It felt like Creed thought that this fragrance was too good to be on the market. At first I thought they will bring the real formula back for a higher price. Which would be ok, I would pay easily 1000$ on a bottle if it were the real formula. I thought they will do this, to outprice the masses and make it a niche again. But instead they just reformulated it so bad, that not only the smokiness was gone but later the lasting of the fragrance was dropped to half an hour. While it was days at the beginning. If they ever will bring back the original frangrance, people who now don't understand the batch discussions, will understand.

I like the Aventus scent profile, but have been content with a ~$40 dumb-reach bottle of Mont Blanc Explorer and picking up the occasional decant of Aventus like I typically do with other Creeds. I like fragrances but am not interested in spending $300-$500 on one bottle when I can spend that over time on like 20 10ml decants. I like the variety.

[@SPACEDOUT19]

Here in Europe you can buy a bottle of Aventus for a very good price. Decants are the way to go.

I don't know why I don't see this reasoning more often! This is exactly what I do! If you have a collection of decants, plus some full bottles you're set for a long time. You're then enjoying variety and quality.

I would not reject Creed Aventus for being "seen in the wild more than any other niche fragrance", i.e. too popular and commonplace, any more than I would reject my Eames Chair or Le Corbusier chaise lounge for being too ubiquitous and "played out". Im not going to ditch a print of the Mona Lisa cuzz it's been "played out" over multiple centuries. Classic is classic. And a masterpiece is a masterpiece. It's the difference between art and fashion.

[@mojobuddy22]

Accidentally stumbled upon this fragrance channel. I know you for the down to earth watch channel that really reached me as I'm a middle class dude. You do it beautifully navigating from cheap Seikos to crazy Pateks. I am pleasantly surprised by this channel as I'm debating on buying a bottle of Aventus. Tried it today at my local Neiman Marcus (store that I don't belong) 8 hours later this thing is still in my wrist. Wife loves it. Good thing is that I know Gray market because of watches and one of them carries this for a steal. Keep it up Teddy. You're really good at what you do, presenting good stuff for normal people. Not everyone can drop 500 bucks in a fragrance, or 250k in a Patek. And that's what I love about your content.

[@interstellarlapisthecccp4946]

I would both agree and disagree that this is the Rolex Submariner of the fragrance world. In terms of it's pricing it's pretty much spot on with the Sub; over what any non-enthusiast would consider a reasonable price but more so on the entry level for people that are really into fragrances or watches respectively. It's very iconic and anyone that knows a thing or two about the watch/fragrance world will probably recognize these two instantly. They are also both part of the casual/sports craze going on in the luxury world as of late. The same way a Submariner is a more casual piece made of non-precious metals, Creed Aventus is a sweet, leathery, citrusy and musky scent that isn't in your face like you might expect from a luxury perfume, but is a classic masterpiece regardless. Both feel at home wearing a suit, leather jacket or even a white shirt with jeans, but you get the point. Where I think this differs is that this is more of a niche fragrance wheras Rolex is pretty much known by everybody. This is usually where I run into trouble with these types of comparisons as well though, because Rolex is kind of in a unique situation. It is perceived by many to be the best watchmaker despite being outclassed by many others. In the car world we would say that Rolex is Ferrari in terms of public perception but in reality a much better comparison would be between Ferrari and Patek. Rolex is more like BMW or Porsche, though no one things BMW's are the 'best' cars ever made the same way many do with Rolex. Anyways, that's my two cents on it. Being a 'niche' fragrance house that pretty much everyone who knows anything about perfumes knows about, I'd compare Creed as a company more so to Richard Mille than Rolex. The prices don't line up though seeing as RM are literally skyrocketing in value.

I purchased my first bottle of Aventus on 3/12/22 and to give it a fair shake It's been my daily wear for the vast majority of the last month and a half (4/28/22 as of today) and I'm sadly not impressed. I only get about 2-3 hours of performance on my skin and 4-6 (very faint) on my clothes. To make sure I wasn't just going nose blind to it I had my wife and coworkers act as secondary sniffers (scientific term don't @ me lol) and they came to the same conclusion. I can say I love scent; however, I can't justify buying another bottle or recommend anyone purchase a bottle.

I get severe headaches if I wear most fragrances. The doctor told me it has something to do with my brain's not being able to process "unnatural" scents.

[@kloppo5476]

OH SHIT TEDDY HAS A FRAGRANCE CHANNEL NOW. I really got into aventus batches and the older stuff (2018 and earlier) has patchouli and lasts much longer. I'm selling a tonne of my new 2021 bottles because I feel they dont last long at all :/ Dont think it's a maceration thing. The 2021s have a really nice opening. Much more pineapple than the old ones which are dep, woody and patchouli heavy. But they last 30 mins unfortunately. MB explorer is a good alternative since the amber makes it long lasting and the pepper mixes things up a bit. I'm actually getting CDNIM pure parfum coming in a few weeks. Didnt like the EDT because it was too sharp, but apparently this is much nicer.

[@ITSTotallyTubluar]

Never had older batches. A girl I was dealing with earlier this year bought me a bottle from creed boutique. No performance whatsoever. Cdnim edp from armaf is so close in smell, a fraction of the price and performs 200% (at least) better. Sure, the creed is smoother and WAY more natural in the opening, but it's a skin scent in about 1 hour.

been wearing this for 10 years and it's still my favorite scent overall! it's changed over the years and is way less powerful than it was in 2012 BUT it's still fantastic! i think it's funny that everyone says so many people wear it, but the truth is it's not as popular as the internet would have u believe! i agree that it smells better in the air!!!

[@mediamayhemmoments]

I have been experimenting with samples of the real Aventus and also several acclaimed clones and copies. After much testing I can give my conclusion as follows. Nothing (other that Aventus) has the beautiful opening it just wows you - it's an incredible complex chorus of notes, I love it. However this incredible phase lasts less than an hour. And within 4 hours don't expect to smell very much of it at all. The performance is UTTERLY APPALLING. On this basis the costs does not make it worth buying the real thing. Better off compromising slightly with a clone that will give you a far better performance.

[@livebaitlarry5783]

Aventus is nothing more than an oakmoss fragrance. A very old type of fragrance. Very dry. However, the new twist is that it has an airy, freshly cut fruit freshness over the old, familiar oakmoss scent. It's cool but not special or even impressive. Just my opinion.

[@Oddy59perez]

I just got a travel bottle from a trusted site. And I have to agree, it’s a great smelling scent but I was definitely expecting more, I would recommend Mont Blonc Explorer. I have it and sprayed them both side by side and besides Aventus being a stronger, the scent is damn near the same. And it’s a not so expensive alternative that almost nailed the Aventus smell.

[@vasemedroserii]

According to trustpilot Aventus is not worth it anymore. I was about to buy it for my significant other but based on the reviews of the recent batches I wont waste my money.

[@WildWildWeasel]

For me Aventus was a scent that (at the time, last year) I wasn't quite mature enough for, but just recently (after having CDNIM EDT, EDP and LE Parfum, as well as Cedrat Boise...even though the Mancera isn't a clone) I got another bottle as a gift (2022 batch) and now that I have tried the clones and the "Aventus killers", I can safely say that none of them come close, I can try them back to back and none of them have the quality...they might get very close, but nothing like the original. I have all these clones to save on the original, but I had no idea that the difference was that much palpable when compared directly.

Purchased Creed Aventus from Creed Boutique and honestly, I have my doubts of its authenticity. 2 - 3 hours later and no smell what so ever... very disapointed on the longevity.

[@JT-rx1eo]

I doubt very seriously that it's a fake if you bought it directly from the Creed Boutique. I searched out the earliest video review of Creed Aventus I could find, and found a 2011 KZbin video review of it. The reviewer - I forgot his name, and IIRC he has since passed away - said he really liked the scent profile but it did not perform on his skin. A few months later this reviewer was posting that it was performing better for some reason. I've noticed that with Virgin Island Water. "Sneaky longevity". I've read reports that the performance of some of these scents seem to improve with age. I don't know the truth, but it seems that that Creeds typically light scent profiles and heavier use of naturals works against really great performance. One of their "heaviest" fragrances, Bois du Portugal (my favorite Creed), seems to last all day on me. Update: here is that 2011 video review of Creed Aventus. Notice some years later he replied in the comments section that Aventus really makes him anosmic to it, but that it is still projecting like crazy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqTbgoCPZdaJitk

@@nubeblanca570 And no one pays $500. You'll find them less at the online discounters, which are guaranteed authentic. I got my 100ml bottle for $343. Still too high, but less. Of course ALL expensive fragrances are too expensive, and in a sense "not worth it". But that is Lux economics. High prices create and reinforce exclusivity. Exclusivity is a component to associations to luxury. I don't mean to lecture, but it's just the way it is. I do one of the following: 1. Buy the bottle and only use it for special occasions (anniversaries, marriages, birthdays, etc.), using a good clone for more everyday mundane occasions. 2. Buy decants and only wear for special occasions, wearing a good clone for everyday-person kind of occassions.

[@simonyu8838]

The Rolex comparison is apt though with prices these days I think an OP or Datejust may be a better comparison. It's certainly not super unique now, but much like Rolex you'll know it works well and isn't going to make the average person go "why would you like wearing that?" If someone has a collection of pricier fragrances then going more niche is understandable but a first pricey purchase is going to warrant a safe choice for many. That said, much like watches the number of guys wearing fragrances in the general population is so small now that it will still stand out. It's one of the scents I've gotten enthusiastic complements on. As a personal bonus, fresh cut pineapple is one of my favorite things to eat so a fragrance that reminds me of it is especially nice.

For the same reason people buy a Rolex or AMG Mercedes. Creed is appealing to people who want to be associated with reputation, class and sophistication. They offer a high quality product that most people can't afford. I am not wealthy but I do own several Creed fragrances because their sourcing of ingredients is unparalleled. There is a reason they've been duplicated so many times. I guess we all like to spend money on our own guilty pleasures.

@@endribarziu8752 I’d say 6-7 hours average and it’s a skin scent. But I only use this in spring and summer so for me it lasts longer in my opinion.

[@NateM154]

It doesn't smell great super up close, but around people or walking by people, to say it's a compliment getter is an understatement. Men, woman....everyone seems liked they had to compliment on it. HAVE to compliment on it. I can't count the times woman were like "i don't what that is, but it's the best I've ever smelled." and go on and on and on about how great it is.

[@zendariuskincaid5205]

Okeeee I’m by no means an Aventus lover or even much of a liker for that matter but I semi respect it. Please do not believe that the batch variations don’t change they do with (MOST) fragrances and trust me Aventus is one of the worst with consistency. You notice how he said he had a new batch… they don’t last long but they’re fruity and quite pleasant, some of the older batches smell rather rough n Smoky and had outrageous longevity and projection u can take that 450 to the bank .

[@santidbe400]

Looking like tom holland with beard and glasses

[@Athanatos250]

Wearing a sample of this today. 4-5sprays at 8am. Smells great. Was pretty much a skin scent by 1pm. It's about $400 in Australia... it's nice, I really like this... but 5 hours is not worth that price.

[@gglehteswhtemnAdChrstns]

Thanks for the in depth review. In Australia we have never heard of it! We always wondered what KZbinrs were talking about.

[@yeerr8241]

I'm looking to get into creed are the new batches any good? For example 22B11B

[@patarfawk4502]

I already have A Ralph Lauren,1 million and Dior Sauvage I think I’ll just wear those for awhile and put those to use my next purchase I want to buy this thanks man.

[@EZ-lj3hv]

Bought it last month, I am not gonna lie, it smells like sex lubricant. I bought from the official shop in France (Yes Creed is French now). My wife was disgusted by the odour, and my adult son too. My wife tried it for a day and when I came back from work in the evening she asked me to smell her. That smell was horrible. Literally smells like lubricant/condom. 200 euros wasted.

[@MusicLover-01]

The should release an extrait de parfum version of aventus for those that want the beast mode version back.

[@BluezConcepts]

I smelled Aventus Creed in the those, and wow. It's amazing!! But so expensive :(

[@codyfrancis4474]

I bought 25 ml off my buddy it's authentic and tbh I really wasn't impressed at all. It smells a little like Dior Sauvage a bit. This definitely is not worth the price Iam shocked. I had high expectations and can't even believe the price point

[@florinchivu]

you are right!adventus by creed is a big waste of money!don"t last and expensive like hell!same with tom ford noir du noir!waste of money for both!expensive like hell!

[@caseybros1]

Just get the $90 travel size and use for special occasions/going out, will last you 8-12 months

[@attaboyabhi]

watches and fragrances ! Lovely !

[@dennisbank6517]

Today is June the 7th 2022, this morning I put on creed around 7:30 in the morning it is now 4:30 and I still got a compliment... Stop being stingy with the sprays, go six good sprays instead of three to the body including clothes.

If u can found for around $250 or under. It's great. Def doesn't worth retail price

Aventus is God's gift to man

[@realblackbetty2204]

I can’t smell it after 5 minutes but I get sooo sooooo much compliments with this scent.

[@Dardania]

5minutes? You should check your nose bro😂 If you get compliments it means others can smell it so your nose is not ok.

[@GainsRLife]

Creed sublime vanille is the best one the Bond no 9 line is the one for me

What product do you wear in your hair. We have similar hair types and the look you have created looks ideal and I would really appreciate if you can let me know what product you use? Many Thanks

[@Mcchickenwarrior]

Someone is selling me a real aventus creed fully sealed for $100 should I buy it?

[@backpacker778]

Yes from creed the most wearable are Aventus and Silver Mountain Water and actually they are the most versatile from Creed. Both are the Only I buy from creed and I see as thd best ftom creed yet I have not smelled all Creed fragrances. Those two are mostly Summer and autumn and spring . You have to give them maturate at home 6 months in the bottle ( sit before first use at 23 , 24 cellcius) in order to get very good performance from them. So buy them 6 months before spring or summer. And... then God is on your side :) Layton is only winter to me - a must have winter fragrance. Tuscan leather is only winter - a must have winter to the more appreciative ones . Nothing can take this ruspberry -leather mutual dance. The saffron is an anti depressant snd good mood smell . Yest I have them both I can also recommend those a very natural juices that are niche - designer : Chanel blue EDP ( even the perfum concrntration yet more expensive and smells the same) Eau Sauvage EDT ( not Sauvage but Eau sauvage and only EDT concentration dince EDP smells diffetent) -- this the bergamot version of aventus in terms of quality yet in Aventus it is the pinapple . Most natural uplifting bergamot smell there is. Ohhhhh. Every man from 17 years old and up must have this !!!

[@traciethomas5249]

What size bottle is that

[@yuriylazarenko42]

I think it’s now seriously reformulated and is overpriced a lot

[@fragitude]

Unless I will the lottery I will never spend $400 on a bottle of cologne. My limit is about half that. Especially when in some street battles the ladies preferred Chrome 3 to 1 over Aventus. I do however have like three inspired by Aventus fragrances in my collection and that is good enough for me.

[@Legend1368]

I’m considering purchasing Git, would love to hear your opinion on it.

[@BaldassarreFragrance]

One of my favorites from the house. Absolute classic. I would wear that over aventus personally.

[@josephthompson6942]

Great scent and performance at least when I tried it years ago. one of my favs from the house. original santal is a sleeper and is also one of my favorites but easy to get nose blind to it. I get compliments way after I stop smelling it. One of my top complimented fragrances ever

[@juanmagetv5580]

Im using this one right now. And oh boy. Girls really do like it. Panty snatcher.

[@i7i.525]

I thought first he is #TomHolland

[@hasifmail91]

In Asia, we just get parallel imports, it's much cheaper, u can get Aventus for USD 250. Ask someone or a wholesale company with a lower currency exchange to buy in their country and send it over from there. Simple loop hole. They earn money, u save money. Win win situation.

[@johnmetzger7646]

Oakcha perfume has the best dup's I've ever tried without Quality sacrifice. I got SWEVEN it is a BR 540 to a tea. 39.00$ check for all listings including Aventus Our Wood etc.

[@montyhades]

Nah, I was really expecting something that would blow my mind and this cologne just didn't do well it has that musky smell most older people love and that is just not for me, when they described the whole citrus scent and definitely not that much. If you want that peppery citrus scent, get Oscar de la Renta.

[@jazzyred8759]

Probably one of the best fragrances around!! But that mofo price!! Thank you for the Christmas gift dear😍

[@gbej1]

I blindly preordered Creed Aventus back in 2010 and is the only fragrance I have always had a bottle of in my collection, currently on my 5th bottle (I think). I have the earlier batch of Armaf’s CDNIM. They smell very similar in the dry down but the opening of CDNIM is just bad and it stays with me for hours. Of all the 200+ fragrances I have owned in the last 12 years it Aventus is by far my most complimented. I have a dilemma now that I’m running out of the last bottle and I don’t know if to buy another bottle. I’ve tried ALL the clones and none of them are able to replicate the feeling Aventus gives. I have spent over 300 bucks on different clones which I probably should have just spent on Aventus.

[@farmsalot1233]

Have you tried parfums vintage emperor extrait? It's very much a creed Aventus copy. Buy a decant and check it out if you haven't yet.

[@NoRegertsHere]

@@farmsalot1233 i just ordered some from here. They said all the right stuff (based outside of the EU to bypass the bans included)

[@graham1155]

I bought this and have been really disappointed, the scent does not last

[@TheNextMarx]

Aventus is a great fragrance, but I feel like it doesn't say much. Similar to Oud Wood by Tom Ford it's a very basic inoffensive fragrance a lot of people have it. One thing that I would critique it on is the ability to transport you with the smell. For many of me perfums I have a feeling when I smell them. Maybe it's transports me to a lake side or a beach, a room filled with incense, roses, and sweets for a romantic evening. Maybe it will give me a certain feeling, masculine with a mysterious yet sexy aura (Tobacco Oud), more feminine and light. Point is that I don't get that from this fragrance. It's good but it doesn't have much of a persona. (Lmao maybe it's the d-bag at the club). That's just my 2 cents.

[@willnewcastle1]

Tried it today, don't really get what is all the hype about this fragrance, to me it's a very generic scent, nothing special about it at all, especially at the price they're charging for it!!! Recently bought Opium Pour Homme by YSL, now that's a masterpiece!

[@blackknightdl]

The scent lost its wow factor after 2019

[@nikooooo7661]

Some of the clones smell like paint thinner and cheap. Deff will detect the quality differences in the air. Even if people also enjoy the clones on others in public.
