    I’ve worn Aventus several times in different places and I never ever received compliments from women wearing Aventus. Two of my buddies asked what are you wearing and they liked it but evidently not the ladies. I’m the fragrance guy on my job and community and people look forward to seeing what I’m wearing that day. I love creed myself, but I got to say honestly Club de Nuit Intense Man has gotten “me” more compliments than Aventus ever has.

    By the way on the other arm I have PV Emporer Extrait and MB Explorer. I would say I prefer the PV for the pineapple opening but the Armaf nails it as the best clone for me AFTER the drydown.

    Very well said. I love this fragrance for what it is, and it truly is a compliment beast. If anything, when asking people to do blind smell tests, they end up preferring CDNIM after being revealed as they find the price of Aventus to be "ridiculous". I've put both side by side and personally can't justify spending the money on a full bottle of Aventus when CDNIM has the same effect for a fraction of the price.

    I bought Al Haramain L'Aventure specifically because of you and your wife. A few years ago, you made a video where you compared a bunch of Aventus clones and your wife picked Al Haramain L'Aventure as her favourite, so I went ahead and ordered it. A couple of years later, considering the absurd ammount of compliments that I've received while wearing it (literally more than with all my other fragrances combined) I feel the need to thank both of you. It's not my favourite fragrance and I don't have the money to buy real Aventus, but for compliments alone, that thing almost feels like it does what "pheromone colognes" are supposed to do.

    Solid fragrance. I have received many compliments wearing this. It have a very mature not old vibe to it.

    I really like the idea of layering 2 different fragrances to make your own sort of unique scent. I’ve paired CDNIM with Mercedes Benz intense (Fahrenheit dupe) to make a very interesting, unique fragrance and while I know a lot of the fragrance community probably frowns on this, I suspect secretly a lot of people are doing this also. If you get a chance you should do a video on “layering”. Also thanks for the tip on Demeter. I’m fairly green when it comes to the frag world and since I’ve opened Pandora’s box my head is spinning with all the options, so thank you for narrowing it down.

    I personally have aventus and this clone. I like wearing the clone for work in the summer, means i don't have to use 180 pounds fragrances for work. Prefer to save it for special occasions. To me, it smells like a more synthetic version of aventus. Aventus smells more natural, mature etc. Still, i doubt many none fragrance enthusiasts can tell the difference. My 15 year old nephews is getting into fragrances and loves my aventus. I just got him club de nuit instead.

  • @cedenoanthony45
    @cedenoanthony45 4 года назад +60

    The reason Creed Aventus has batch inconsistencies is because it’s made with natural ingredients and not synthetic ingredients. If it was made with synthetic ingredients then all the batches would smell the exact same. But that’s not the case with Aventus or any Creed fragrance for that matter. Just like every pineapple isnt always sweet, some pineapples taste less sweet and some more sweet, and so not every pineapple note of a batch of Aventus will smell the same. Creed uses ingredients that are higher quality, everyone is unhappy and freaking out of the batch inconsistencies because they’re used to smelling the synthetic designer stuff. (Not saying all designer stuff is synthetic but Creed isn’t because like I mentioned, they use natural ingredients)

      Lol I’m a creed fanboy but creed is still using some synthetics in there fragrances bro. And I’m pretty sure the pineapple top is a synthetic aroma chemical. Don’t get me wrong though Aventus and all creeds smell very natural.

    • @TMartialarts1
      @TMartialarts1 4 года назад +1

      @@danielzychniewicz2633 you are right. I also get a little bit of ambroxan in Creed Aventus. Which is a synthetic. Synthetics aren't a bad thing and it doesn't equate to "smelling harsh".
      In fact, you might be smelling a lot of niche fragrances that use a ton of synthetic aromachemicals, that smell very smooth. They are just aromachemicals that replicate the smell of molecules found in nature, this can add to the longevity and projection of the fragrance itself.

      Creed is definitely synthetic. Pineapple is synthetic and no perfume house in this day will sell you with ambergis for a mere 240 a bottle hence ambroxan. Black currant also synthetic. You can't get Creed notes with out synthetics close but never close enough.

It last forever and projects off my skin amazingly. 10/10 fragrance when it comes to versatility, performance and price nothing else compares but I'm no expert, all I know is, I control a room when I wear this one.

  • @deepthinking6557
    @deepthinking6557 4 года назад +24

    OK so here's my take. In the opening of CDNIM I get why some people say that it smells like lemon pledge but in its defense the same happened to me but only the 1st 2 or 3 times. Then after wearing it a couple of times I then started to appreciate it more, especially the opening. You start to actually pick up the different layers in the opening notes, although yes, I do have to recognize and admit that the pineapple note is not as pronounced in this clone as in other clones.
    So let's talk about performance. Performance on this one Is Exceptional. I spray this on in the morning at 8 to go to work and when I come back in the afternoon around 5 it's still on my skin and I can still smell it. Just Yesterday I had worn it to work (and I work in a hospital so you can imagine the smells that get stuck on your skin after a long hard day), and I get back home at around 5pm. I take my shirt off and get comfortable (at shirt and shorts). One of my mom's friends comes over to visit at around 8 PM and she sits next to my mom near to where I was sitting and after a while she asks me, "Hey what is the perfume you're wearing, it's really nice, I wanna buy a bottle for my son. He'll love it!" I was shocked cuz I couldn't smell it (probably olfactory fatigue) and realized that I had gotten 12 hours of performance yesterday from a bottle of the 'reformulated' CDINM. Not bad right?!
    Projection. Amazing. Enough said. I wear it in the morning and at 12 noon people are still smelling it on me from around a meter away. Although projection usually averages 2hrs or 3 hrs on average.
    Overall rating: 8/10 as a standalone frag
    Overall rating: 10/10 for a clone in the 30 dollar price range.
    Disclaimer: I live in a small island in the Caribbean where it costs me almost 60% of the fragrance's price to get it to me and I would buy this over again any day. 👌

    I had this a long time ago.. it smelled on the dry down VERY similar to older batches of aventus.. Aventus that had the pencil shaving, black currant type smell. It doesn't smell as similar to newer batches... For that I like alexandria's brasilia smoky/prive and pineapple royale by Montagne parfums.. Great review.. think you summed it up nicely... One thing I have learned about aventus... It isn't really a pineapple smell.. Pineapple is more syrupy and sweet, aventus is more of a citric pineapple with a lower syrupy flavor. almost like an unripened pineapple and citrus.. with the sweetness coming more from a vanilla overtone.. Well that's my opinion anyway. maybe im completely off

I did get compliments but my wife said it was a too strong talking about Aventus. When I put club de nuit she was like it smells the same but she liked it better than regular Aventus lol.

      One thing about "reformulated" sometimes batches smell slightly different, sometimes when a fragrance is OLD some of it's contents evaporate and change the smell, sometimes the consentration of ingredients of a full bottle is different from an empty bottle etc. etc. not always is a reformulation. This is like the Boogie Man of fragrances.

The 2019 batches I had I found the one from France although it had a harsher opening lasted way longer than the EAU ones were really week , a skin scent after half an hour really bad performance. Keeping in mind all the bottles I bought were made sometimes in 2019 . I can’t speak for the earlier years / batches ...

    I have been collecting premium colognes for over 20 years and I'm going to have to disagree about the dry down part. The dry down smells amazing and identical to Creed Aventus to me. Honestly, I can see why this cologne gets more comments than Creed it's because it has a powerful projection and the dry down smells amazing. I can't tell a difference between my black cap Club De Nuit and Aventus. The longevity is great to just took a shower and still smell it on me.
