I tried this at the Bloomingdale's and I thought it was great, but I didn't feel it was worth full retail at the moment since I already have Aventus. It was different enough and honestly I loved it, but I felt like if you have Aventus and don't want to shell out a few hundred bucks for a flanker, it was worth waiting.

@@SAMPAdventures I wouldn’t consider it an upgrade in general, it is for me as I like these heavier scents but yeah both still have a place in my collection and are distinctly different to me while retaining that Aventus DNA. Kinda like Sauvage EDT vs the Elixir.
What I did, was get three 2ML sample sizes for free by visiting the Department stores and now I have enough to get me by for some time. If that was all you used maybe. If you're a collector and it just sits there, not worth it.
Over 500 for a fragrance is outlandish tbh. I have a lot of things I overpaid for that I love, but to be honest I've come to the point where anything over 300 has become a cut off for me. Just feels like exploitation and marketing at a certain point.
I like this of you showing pictures of the perfumers. Had never really considered looking them up whenever they're mentioned, but it's nice to put a face to the names
Terrific presentation! So I was walking through Bloomingdales back to my car and paused to look at their Creed collection and a sales lady approached me with this and yes, the opener just blew my mind! When she told me it’s a new Aventus I was surprised cuz I wasn’t impressed with the original Aventus. I’m happy with Irish tweed and especially Erolfa, but this was so different. I love it, but the price is kinda ridiculous, however, I’m not kicking myself. If it’s true this is only going to be available for a limited time, personally I think it’s cool. I use it sparingly. It’s like having a collectible.
Harrods has it for $352 right now, which is weird because usually Creed is more expensive from Harrods, and TF is cheaper (it goes by what the companies set their prices as in the UK, and what the current exchange rate is) it’s literally cheaper than the 50mL bottle of Aventus right now, and it wasn’t at launch. I don’t think it’s doing so hot, and reviews haven’t been great, however I think that’s mostly due to the price point. If it was comparable to Aventus it’d probably have been a bigger hit.
I happened to have a 20% discount code the day it launched, so I blind bought it. Ended up paying "only" $320. Thankfully I really like it. The opening is amazing, I wish it lasted longer. Also, I do see a similarity to Elixir, but that one smells disgusting on my skin, while Absolu doesn't.
Just smelled this in store. Now I understand why they went for 'Absolu' - 'Aventus Elixir' would have been too on the nose! Really shows just how influential Dior Elixir has become - I wonder if they regret not making it a standalone fragrance and not a flanker. The similarities here are pretty stark - it's a nice fragrance, but it's a bit sad to see such an influential scent become a copy cat in its new form. Also - the very opening part has a strange note that I associate with cheaper fragrances - not unpleasant - best I can describe as a bit papery - didn't ruin the fragrance and was soon gone, but a bit odd nonetheless!
@@etpourtant7512Dior Elixir should be a standalone (I i.e. a new range/fragrance which as I understand it was originally intended to be, before being brought into the Savage range post-hoc), not Aventus Absolu.
@@UseDgh I thought you were talking about Aventus Absolu when you were wondering if they regret not making it a standalone fragrance and not a flanker. My bad.
Imagine the performance 5 years down the road when Creed will eventually turn this into a watered down shade of its past self (just like it did with the OG Aventus) 👀
@@natusMCMIIthe thing is Elixir smell is only for period of time. Then it goes away. So the middle smell is similar to elixir. I have both and prefer Absolu
Even when it hit discounters it's still gonna be 350 plus & shipping for 75ml, no less. Just found a bottle for 339 but it's got to project for least 8hrs w/ 3 or 4 sprays.
I have Creed Absolu Aventus arriving along with Edgewater and West Loop soon! Excited to try all three fragrances. With hearing that Absolu Aventus had some similarity to Sauvage Elixir (which is a love for me!) I had to pick it up for the collection. Great video as always ash, keep up the great work.
@@ericg9942 got it at a discounter for a little bit under European MSRP I couldn't pass up that opportunity. Been saving up for all three these fragrances since I heard they were being released a few months back.
I'm glad you mentioned your experience with the longevity of it-I had the same experience with Bulgari's Tygar scent. After a few hours I could not detect the great opening scent.
Considering the price tag, if this fragrance is not a beast mode (like Sauvage Elixir), it is another Creed heist. I have the original Aventus and in terms of performance it is not worth it either.
I am shocked people don’t get beast mode from OG Adventus. It lasts forever on me. And on top of that if you have smelled a pre-2014 aventus then there is no possible way you can say that has bad performance, as it lasts days
@@aedrake1977 I mean I was just saying IF you had tried it, or in my instance, still have a bottle from that era. I know it’s difficult to find that now. The only place I can suggest would be decants of it or bottles on EBay. They have the old batches on there a lot.
I bought a decant of Creed. Very pricy and I was disappointed with the performance. It did not last long for the price. However this is where the clones like Armaf Club de nuit intense did a better job
@@2dramaNaijatvI have a 2020 bottle and honestly it lasts a very long time. I really feel like people go nose blind to it. Ask people around you a few hours after application and see if they can smell you,
I just tried the original aventus in a tester, I really like the scent but the performance on it really doesn’t justify that 300 dollar price tag. I get a better performance from EDTs that cost 40-80 dollars
i've been reading alot about the original creed aventus, & i've kinda been turnt away from purchasing not just because of the price point, but almost everyone says it is just a watered down version of the old DNA (which ive never had the chance to experience). is it true clones like Club De Nuit are more worth the time & money, & also that you can get clones closer to the old DNA? would love to hear peoples thoughts on this
I tried it. Its a pleasant scent honestly, didnt seem too unique though and doesnt have anything that warrants the price. It dried down faintly sweet, that’s really it
In Europe it is “quite” cheaper 320 €. And even though the price point is high I recon I only have to use 2 sprays rather than 5 with the original. In that perspective it is actually cheaper 😅
I paid $285 from Nose Paris with free shipping to the states. So to say this is a $500+ fragrance is kinda incorrect. It can be found much cheaper from other sources .
I'm glad I only bought the 100 dollar small bottle. I used 3 pumps and cant hardly smelI it. Its like lemony smell. (aventus and Irish tweed, 2 pumps, i can smell on myself for about 4 to 5 hours straight) this one I can hardly smell it on myself. I don't feel is close at all to aventus or Irish tweed which to me are worth the money. I feel disappointed. But ill be more careful next time and take samples home and then decide.
Great video as usual Ash. $545? Sheesh, man. I paid just over that for my first car back in 1994. That’s an insane price, but it’s Creed so I’m also not surprised in the least. Anyway, I’m sure Lattafa or one of those clone houses will mimic this one soon and save people $420 bucks.
I like this WAY better than Aventus original..don’t get the Sauvage Elixir comparison tho🤔..bought travel size of Absolu to rotate through my collection 😁😁
I smelled this at Nordstrom yesterday. I do like it but not enough to spend 500 plus on it. This should be super easy to clone so I'll just wait on the DUA or Alexandria clone and pay 60 for basically the same thing but with better performance 🤷🏻♂️
Performance is around 8/10 in my skin . I’ve been wearing it for more than a week now. It’s more leaning towards the cold season but you still get some freshness even after 2 hours. That’s my take. Thank you Ash for this great review.👍🏼
Hmm, interesting I'll try a decant. I never understood the aventus hype. I think others do the pineapple blend better for a lot less. I own some very expensive niche from Roja, Xerjoff, and PDM, but to my nose, I never felt creed justified the price point. Thanks Ash!
@Kinotabii Al Fursan and Cedrat Boise Intense come to mind. For anything in that "tropical fruity" genre I think Erba Pura by Xerjoff is the best of the best, but it's not necessarily a pineapple.
V for Vetiver from Fort & Manle coming out...as a vetiver connoisseur, would love your take. West Loop and Edgewater on the way for me! Has me missing Chicago...

Not a fan of the screen wipes back to back. Also, the grainy filter is just a nuisance making it harder to see the product. Sometimes less is more, less screen distractions would make for a more pleasing video.
Can’t wait to get my nose on it but defiantly at $550 is insane. I think they called it “Aventus” to sell. No smoke, no pineapple, no birch, no black currant. Just call it an new name at this point.
Get "Insurrection II" it's less than $50 and smells exactly like Aventus (OG) and has an even longer half life. I've been buying it for years, NO ONE can tell the difference and I get compliments every time I use it. Love it!! I would never spend $550 on cologne, never. And, I can easily afford it. Blessings brother...
Smelt it the other day it is a great scent but should just be a new creed fragrance same size same price no need for 25% less bottle and a higher price
I’m trying to buy it. I don’t wanna hear about the price but I’ve been trying to buy it and I can’t find where I could get it. Can you help me get it? Thank you very much. Yeah that creed can you help me to get it?
Yeah, I tested it - it’s smaller, more expensive, but at least the performance is as bad as the original Aventus but all that is with Sauvage Elixir twist in the drydown. Just don’t.

So it’s like Aventus + Sauvage Elixir combined together?
You can buy like 3X sauvage elixir for that. And it lasts way longer. That just won't do

I’m trying to buy it. I don’t wanna hear about the price but I’ve been trying to buy it and I can’t find where I could get it. Can you help me get it? Thank you very much. Yeah that creed can you help me to get it?
indeed the next year( not very soon thought ) lattafa will have it out....in the lab right now the code name is Faqat black
Layer sauvage elixir & aventus.
Boom you get absolu aventus.
Layer Asad and CDNIM.
Boom you get Absolu Aventus.
Kinda...
Sampled it and got a gift from a friend. It's close match to mancera cedrat boise lol with maybe better ingredients
In europe it has the same price per ml as aventus
Yeah, I tested it - it’s smaller, more expensive, but at least the performance is as bad as the original Aventus but all that is with Sauvage Elixir twist in the drydown. Just don’t.
