Does Aventus really live up to all the hype? Thinking bout pulling the trigger!

nope, but that's just my opinion. Many people say otherwise
You'll have to decide for yourself

Not worth the hype...plus it depends on the batch you get... The pineapple X02 is the best! ...

 

[burgundyaltima]

a cheap alternative to Creed Aventus......... Fresco Ilum Dean ..im telling you the average nose will not be able to tell the difference....this smells almost identical to my Aventus X02 batch! matter fact I think this is the closet you'll get to Aventus..lol I wear this when i don't feel like wasting my Creed Aventus ....dirt cheap and definitely worth a try!!

batch variation is the biggest BS and it's def worth the hype

those cheap alternatives are not Aventus nor close

Fresco is CRAP.. It doesn't even last the commute to the gym down the street. I haven't smelled a batch of Aventus that smells anywhere close to Fresco. Except for the batch that I think was majority fresco that someone sold me.

I've worn Aventus all weekend and today at work.. Compliments like crazy. Almost weirded out by it. The drydown is quite bonkers.

I'd suggest you sample it first.  Go to a store near you that sells Creed, spray some on your wrists, go about your day, smell it every now-and-then, and make your decision the next day.

I almost did a blind buy of Tobacco Vanille, but luckily I was able to sample some at Bloomingdale's and realized I wasn't too fond of the dry down.  And to be honest, I think I've heard more slander about Aventus than TV

...

Grabbed the Polo Red and L'Nuit De L'Homme for the fall rotation.

Platinum Chanel for the everyday getups.

Might need to test the higher end fragrances before purchasing, but I'll check that out through the future splits. My school isn't near any real high end shops so that sucks.

I have the Y02 batch of the Aventus. It smells so good! I have yet to try any other batch, though.

TV is unwearable for me.. that 15 hr synthetic vanilla dry down is not my thing.

like i said THE AVERAGE NOSE will not be able to spot the difference.. its worth a try.......... and batch variation is very real lol.. my X02 batch got me compliments nonstop..it has that wonderful fruity pineapple in the opening ..as opposed to my 2012 batch that smells woodsy and smokey from top to bottom. (female said i smell like a old man)... ..same with my Virgin Island water ..my 2011 have the perfect smooth mixture of coconut and lime ..but my 2012 batch has a strong lime aroma throughout... thats the only thing i hate about creeds is the batch variations

Once it dries it's all the same

Whoever started this batch thing is ridic I could careless what it smells like for the first 20 min; it's what it smells like after that, that matters

I agree the drydown is all the same but I received a sample (not sure of the batch #) but it def had more of a sweet pineapple opening compared to the one I received in a split on here which does not have that sweet pineapple smell on my skin. Eventually both end up with the same drydown but I def received more compliments with the sample I had due to the sweet pineapple opening

Anyone know where I can find a Z01 batch of Aventus?

 

[Extrait de Minimalisme]

Facebook group: fragrance guru nation

There has been a lot of z01 decants popping up the past couple weeks, because someone split a 500ml flacon.

Z01 use to got for double the price of other batches, but now dudes are unloading them on the cheap. Maybe the hype is dying. The b01, grey market/middle eastern batch I have from amazon is beastly. 5th straight day wearin it.

Still have 100ml of DHI left.

 

[stillin729]

I'm gonna start selling z01 batches of current Aventus to all the suckers who get orgasms over 5 minutes of pineapple

I'll help you save a lot of money

$.69 at your local supermarket
