AVENTUS OR ELYSIUM? WHO WILL WIN THE BLIND SMELL TEST?

[@chrisanderson8784]

When i purchased Elysium , to be honest i liked it but didn't love it and felt the performance was a bit sub par....but my son wore it to a wedding yesterday and it smelled amazing in the air around him and i could still smell it when he arrived home in the evening so perhaps i go nose blind when wearing it myself ? 🙂 Another great review matey.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

It's funny when a fragrance does this....when you think it's gone, but it's just that I've gone nose blind to it (in truth it makes me sad). If I ever loose scent to my perfume I always ask those around me if they can smell it and 99.9% of the time the answer is 'yes'. On the flip side, I love how a perfume smells so different on me versus how it smells on my sons...it makes me feel that these fragrances adapt to our own natural scent; gives the fragrance a new dimension. Good to hear from you Chris, thanks for reaching out👊🏽

[@ashclark3769]

I've got both. Both complement beasts for sure. Elysium with a dress shirt and me Rolex, Aventus with a black woolen long sleeve fitted top 👌👌

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes, that's the perfect visual reference! 😎 Amazing fragrance's🥰

[@Almansa403s]

I own an 19NO11 batch Aventus and love it. I have sampled Elysium and plan on grabbing a bottle when the warmer weather comes around.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great choice on the Elysium Robbie, I am a big fan and for me it's very different to Aventus....and as you can see it drew Tash's interest straight away! Thanks again for your comments and support

[@reazulkarim3172]

Got Aventus and ordered Elysium…can’t go wrong with either. Aventus smells heavenly though.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I agree @Reazul Karim....hence why they're both in my collection😉 Two very classy fragrances for men

[@davem4131]

Elysium is very fresh on the first spray but it definitely has a darker Side too. It’s a great one but I love Aventus. I have both I wanted a change.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Totally agree with your breakdown @THEDAM85 And totally agree that both can comfortably exist in every man’s collection

In my opinion Jordan both fragrances are winners…and both work well all year round. Good luck with making the choice….personally its easy; get both😉

[@cosmic.generator]

Tiziana Terenzi Orion, Creed Aventus and Elysium give me a similar vibe. I dont know why but i like the vibe of torino 21 more

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Torino 21 is in a class of its own♥️😎 Incredibly glorious fragrance💫

[@cosmic.generator]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector any fragrances you would suggest if you like Torino 21?

[@andrew7650]

Would of loved to have got a reaction from the dry down instead of the first spray. Fragrances always take time to develop as we all know and rarely smell the same in the opening and are often more harsh.

[@jimlittle5769]

My first dive into niche was PDM...glad it was.

[@hershilparekh8654]

If Torino 21 could add a metallic note and drop some of that feminine shampoo floral aspect man that thing would be insane. Don’t know why I thought of that watching this

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

[@eltonribeiro5479]

how exactly do you find out what batch a bottle is? I've heard people saying that there are batches which doesn't last at all and obviously if I am paying that much for a perfume I want the best batch

[@dhtb5065]

True. I have my elysium. Lighter but better than aventus. I have cdnim edt and cdnim parfum pure perfume to replace aventus.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I find Elysium wonderfully complex and a lot more aromatic. Thanks for your feedback @Hariz Osman👊🏼

[@dhtb5065]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector you are welcome👍🏻

[@a.vaidya8024]

I certainly get the comparison between Elysium and Aventus, but Elysium doesn’t have any sort of pineapple note. I’ve always found Elysium to have a lot more common with Mont Blanc Explorer in this regard.

[@dlrsnate5100]

Bruh what

[@mrdeillusionize5151]

@A.Vaidya You're right the bergamont is very fruity and tart in explorer then very woody dry down due to the crisp vetiver.Honestly neither of these are worth the price cheaper designers do the same job.Only niche freshie that's worth it is Cedrat Boise Intense if you have none of this style.

[@aromafh2486]

Great video.. aroma from heaven

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you🙏🏻

[@JT-rx1eo]

I'm a little late to this, but for me what gives Elysium an edge is that the fruit and citrus extend deeper into the lifecycle of the wear compared to Aventus. From my bottle and a separate decant, Aventus' pineapple disappears really quickly. And what's left in the Aventus drydown is that "pencil shavings and lead" woody/smokey accord that I don't particularly like so much. But what is apparent is that Elysium took its inspiration from Aventus. Roja Dove can't deny that.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Hey there @James Thomas, never late my friend! Love your feedback and further expansion to this conversation. I do love the way you've defined it; and would have to agree.

[@rezar6894]

Have you tried the Pure Parfum version of Elysium, if so, do you get much better longevity and projection ?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Hi @Reza R, I have tried it but I don’t own it, so not sure how the 2 will perform against each other. However, being that the Parfum has a higher concentration of oils, I’m going to say that it will smash the ‘Cologne’ version. I know that the ‘Cologne’ version has a more of a citrus opening and from memory the dry downs on both were similar. I selected this version only based on price. I wanted to ‘own’ a Roja and at the time, this is where my budget took me😬 The mission is to start owning the ‘big dog’ versions of the Roja collection🤑 Thanks mate, great to hear from you

You're welcome! Hopefully you have the winning perfume🤔

[@ivanlesnukhin2364]

Aventus and Elysium are both great! However, I found Elysium is lacking performance after the first 1h. It is a skin scent! Do you have the same issue? Can people still smell Elysium on you after 3-4h? Out of these two, which would win in terms of projection and performance? Thanks for your videos!:)

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Funny, I've heard a few people comment the same thing on this thread (or in another video I did on Elysium). I don't find that for me. It stays on me comfortably for 7+ hours. I'd be interested to know if others around you can smell the fragrance. I have a few perfumes, where I've become anosmia to that fragrance, yet those around me can actually smell it...not sure why this happens?? The temptation is to overspray, but as mentioned I've discovered that it's best to ask those around me first🤔 Out of the 2 (Elysium or Aventus) I find that for me Aventus projects better and creates a much strong sillage. Thanks again Ivan for your comments and support👊🏼

[@ivanlesnukhin2364]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you for your answer! I tried Aventus and Elysium on both hands and after 3 h one person said that Aventus was projecting better, however he could still smell Elysium, but it was very weak. When it comes to the first hour- Elysium is the winner for me, but on the “long distance” I would say Aventus is better, because people can smell it! Have a great day!🙂

Aventus was unique when it came out. She probably smelled so many clones and knock-offs. That's not Creed's fault.

I own both, before watching further into the video. Elysium is way better than Aventus imo. The dry down is the best

Yes you’re right not a true blind test. In fact it was a “first time smell” to these two fragrances. Tash had never smelt them before, so she was choosing based on her first time experience of these.
