How did you spray it? On its own or layered?
I ask because I realized that the base of the nect or under the nose is a no-go for me. Headache city, I usually do the pulse points under the ear or back of neck. I did HB x Aventus a few weeks ago, 1 spray of both on base of neck and got a headache, just too strong.

this is exactly what I did :lol

layered 1 spray over adams apple. I was driving around about an hour later I felt like I was drowning in the scent, headache etc. so I wiped 50% off with an alcohol pad. ever since then I've only used HB like once over the wrist, seemed ok. but lately I'm just doing 1 spray of whatever I'm wearing over the back of the neck, no layering, that way I can just avoid any headache isues and not drown in any scent.

Sounds like your not doing laundry the proper way.

Aventus is awesome, I've done laundry too and still smell the scent next day. I actually noticed TL last bout 24 hours on my skin, even after a shower :smokin
 
Yea breh, no front of the neck, ever. Maybe base of the neck or chest. My standard is pulse points and maybe base of neck with lighter frags. I can't spray aventus under my nose tho, it's just too much.
 
If it wasn't for NT I probably would have never discovered Herod

Grows on me more and more.

The top note is iso e super, most batches are consistently 18-20% concentrated, so I may need to dial it back a bit.
Today I did HB on wrists and neck and then threw DH The One over it.....I got a headache......yesterday was HB same spots will Allure Homme....headache too.

I love the smell of it and longevity/sillage seem to be better.......I think I need to take it off the base of my neck.

It's strong stuff, definitely get it away from up under your nose or go like a half spray. I don't spray my wrists with fragrances, let alone HB, maybe on the top of my hands to test, but that's about it.

I had a meeting today, did HB01 from 10ml atomizer under each ear amd MFK Aqua Vitae Forte over that, after a 2 hr meeting, I got up and a chick 3 people over from me was like mmm you smell good. Dude behind me was like thanks! Luckily, she said my name lol.

If you're having headaches get it away from your nose, if not, keep dping what works for you.
 
 
I'm really surprised to see so many aventus supporters in this thread... I'm trying to figure out if its the actual smell of the fragrance which i find no big deal in comparison to others in the same price range or because its expensive and exclusive. I've tried it over and over but never worked for me
The feedback I get from Naxos and Pure Malt has trumped Aventus from the ladies..ten fold

Did you

Sound like hyperbole if I've ever heard. I love Pure Malt but I don't even believe this.

I'm definitely trying to get on that Naxos wave though.
 
^Probably only within the confines of this thread and other like communities. I've still never came across the scent in public.

^Exactly, on basenotes, social media, youtube it's probably the most popular fragrance, popular may be the wrong word, but it's pretty enigmic and has a ginormous presence in the frag-world, outside of that word, i don't think the general public knows or even cares about Creed or Aventus. My brothers who pretty out of touch with mainstream luxury were like, "hey do you have any of those $400 bottles that Saks sells?" To their surprise, I had 3 bottles of Aventus at the time and split them off some. Outside of them, I've never encountered another person with any interest in Creeds or Aventus, nor have I ever smelled them on anyone.

Maybe if I lived in Vegas, Miami or the U.K. that would be a different story.

All 3 are great scents...but in my opinion women respond better to the sweet ingredients in Malt and Naxos

it happens with basically anything if you think about it. in this case most people will only know  the designer frags that the ladies at the counter try to push on em. location has a lot to do about it too. Nordstrom at the local mall carries Tom Ford but only stuff like Grey Vetiver none of the nicer more expensive juice.
