I have a 2024 bottle F000913 (my first creed aveentus).. very smoky still has the pineapple blast on the opening and of course smoothly blended..love it
I don't really watch fragrance videos anymore, to be honest, but you're one of the channels that I do come back to. Your reviews seem unbiased, and you have good things to say.
Eh, they’ve make changes here and there over the years. Most famously getting rid of the old fire-hose atomizer and then the old 120ml and 75ml bottles. More recently going to the black bottle for GIT, white for SMW and and silver for Himalaya.
@Shawn S it's not just Creed to be fair my guy. Easy for people to romanticize the hobby but majority of these firms are in it for the $ at the end of the day.
I also have never had any issues with performance from Aventus. I have batches from 13,16,17, 18, 20, and 21. They all last 12 hours plus on me. It's everyone buying fake Aventus that gets on here and on groups and talks crap about how it's watered down and not worth it anymore. The real deal is an amazing fragrance no matter start batch number it is.
@@saracen888Bro just bought the same batch but guy who I bought from also using the same one and told me that it lasts 12-14 hours on him and as per my previous experience he never lied to me about any fragrances performance.
Mine is F000414 and it does have the metal cap! I just purchased mine from fragrancenet and I have been reading a lot of people complain about the longevity of this fragrance, so I was skeptical. Today was the very first time I wore this and I went about it 5 sprays for work at 7:30 Am. 2 on the neck one behind the neck and 1 on each shoulder. I did that many because of all the complaints I’ve read and now I’m just happy their problems didn’t apply to me cause it’s now 3:00 PM and I can definitely smell it. I even feel like I oversprayed as it’s a little bit much😂 Maybe I got a potent batch or works better on my skin or maybe I just can’t go nose blind on this one. It smells great tho!
I bought a replacement bottle of aventus a couple months ago and that will be my last one for a while. It was my sig scent for as long as i can remember but i replaced it with hacivat. I love the similar but noticeably difference it has. And a $150-$200 vs $350-$550 for your sig. scent without lacking quality is a lot more tolerable and i have aventus as more of a nostalgia reason now vs the smell
My 2013 bottle is almost done. It’s smoky, woody, and fruity all in one. Most importantly, it’s extremely long lasting. I can still smell it after 12+ hours. I’m not sure I’ll buy another bottle. New batches suck.
Look at Creed symbol on the new bottle without black paint, I think that's the right choice. I always remove the black paint on my bottles(batch 17 and 19) so they look like the original 120ml bottles
That's an interesting point about the painted lettering. I bought mine a week or so ago from a Creed store (Nov 2022 as of time of writing, and batch code was F000298), and it has the black paint on the lettering.
@@Jmr91X Certainly not a super good performance, but I kind of expected it buying Creed Aventus. I'd say it projects ok for 2 hours or so, then sticks to skin for another 3-4 hours. Comparing to designers, its performance reminds me of BdC. I just really like the smell, so I'm saving it for special occasions, etc.
I don't know if any of yall watch Ash at Gent Scents... But he said the exact same thing about Creed. Right down to hollering at them to let them know he moved. Hmmm...
I picked up a bottle of Aventus in september 2019 an it is one of my all time favorite fragrances , it had a rich mysterious smell to it but fruity an pineappley at the same time , i still got about 70 percent of the bottle left too 😊
@@bananaboi551 i store it in a dark dresser/ closet area it should last , I heard fragrances can last 5-10 years if in a cool dark place ? I also heard fragrances get better with age , maceration etc
I have a 2021 batch and enjoy it very much -after 9hrs I still find myself catching whiffs of it off my skin. I can not compare the Juice to older batches bc I never owned any of the older formulations
Check out the aventus cologne. I’m going on 12 hours literally as we speak smells so strong still. The cologne version is way better than regular aventus. It’s fresher and has the musky smell when it dries down. Smells like cutting a forest when you first put it on. Bout to go drop 500 on a bottle tomorrow it’s that good
The thing I miss the most is the drydown. It want to say it’s the musk & ambergris mixture that gave it this ocean-animalistic quality that even my 2016 batch didn’t have. I had a sample prior to buying the bottle so the sample had to be 2013 I’m guessing, just because there was so much contrast. Anyway I’ve tried many fragrance and nothing compared to that first sample I had.
I had a similar issue with CDNIM, my first bottle had an amazing drydown that none of the subsequent bottles had so I gave up. I’ve wondered if there was maybe 1 key ingredient either became regulated, is no longer available or became too expensive. Then again maybe I just got old and my skin sucks now.
Vintage batches have smoke and dialed up musk and oakmoss. The woods are not that prominent compared to the modern batches but the drydown of vintage ones is way more comolex.
Agreed, someone handed me a sample in/around 2013. At first smell, I didn't like it. My friend said, "Trust me...". I grew to love it. What I remember is the pineapple the showed up immediately and then the dry down that snuck up 2 hours later and put all other colognes to shame. I'd love to find that particular batch again. 😏
I recently bought an even newer batch of Aventus. It's now called Club something, I don't remember exactly, and comes in a black boxy bottle. I should say that I'm pretty impressed with the performance, hope they will continue in that direction.
@@ImaginateAudio rather have cheap crap than expensive crap if they basically smell the same and the cheap crap out performs the expensive by hours in fact I'll get cdnim milestone sillage egra gorse and boschetta della Costa for the price you pay for one Aventus bottle that lacks performance
I bought a bottle from Perfume World a few days ago and while the DNA is definitely still amazing, the performance/longevity just ain't what it used to be. While olfactory fatigue was always an issue with this fragrance, even when I spray it on my curtains and clean towels, I cannot smell it when I come back home 4-6 hours later. Is it worth buying an older batch? Don't niche fragrances start to breakdown after 5+ years?
@AshcroftGolfAcademy I have 4 F batches and all are amazing. Most recent is f298, Royal Oud Aventus! One of the most unique batches I've ever had. F995 is a beast as well 👍. All getting stronger by the day
I'm satisfied with mine, maybe i just got a lucky bottle when i bought it last autumn from the duty free at the airport (it cost only around 200 euros) cause contrary to the usual complains about the longevity, it performs surprisingly well. If i use more than 3 sprays around the neck/chest then it already chokes me it's so strong and lasts more than any other perfume i own. I'm not really familiar with batches, my bottle has the transparent "Creed" inscription on it, not the black one.
They brought back how the old Creed caps work, circa pre-2000s. The old ones really hugs the atomizer and have this feeling of slowly sliding first if you put it back on before snapping/clicking. That's how my old Creed caps work.
Can afforf it. BUT....i refuse to spend amounts on certain things. I tried 4 samples of this....and i get 4 hours at MOST!! Yet al haramain l adventure i get an easy 8 And its 40!!! So i know where my money is worth going
I’ve wondered if Blackrock will attempt to stabilize the formula, tweaking the more volatile ingredients, or the ones that have inconsistent supply issues, and those that might get regulated. Hard to say, Blackrock doesn’t tell me their plans.
It seems to me Creed has always tried to scrimp and save when it came to its packaging. I will mention that they recently went through a hefty price hike, so be under no illusions that the metal cap upgrade is their way of saying "look we've made improvements" to justify the price increase
got this batch too with the clear lettering on the bottle. looks fully legit but was sceptical about the clear logo, but good to know its the updated version and that i got a recent batch.
What happens is people wear Aventus for years every single day that their nose becomes used to the scent. That being said, as they buy new bottles they claim it’s weak when in reality, they have just worn the fragrance too much. Same thing will happen to every fragrance. This is why people claim the dupes such as Armaf are better, it’s because there are differences in the fragrance itself which is why people claim it’s stronger when in reality there are slight differences meaning it is a new scent to their noses. Even one note difference in a fragrance can cause your nose to have a new experience, so to speak, therefore interpreting the dupe as superior when in reality there are slight differences in the two. The solution is to stop wearing the same fragrance every single day and switch it up and wear others so you don’t overwear one particular fragrance. I have a 2021 batch of Aventus and I sprayed 2 sprays on my collar bone in addition to three sprays on my neck at 5:00 pm and I would still get whiffs of it at 2:00 in the morning. You’re just becoming nose blind people, other people can still smell you 😂. My wife could still smell me standing 2-3 ft away 3-4 hours after applying even though I could not smell it that strongly. Walked outside when leaving the house and the wind was blowing and she commented on how good the fragrance was projecting off of me filling the air around me.
U didn't take into consideration that people like me have multiple bottle and after the new take over when creed sold out everything went down hill. It does not smell anything like before 2019 batches. Trust me from alot of testing on my gf and daughter I am not goin nose blind. Also best clone to me is pinnaple vintage emperor extrait it smells exactly like my favorite batch from 2017
I’ve been receiving random Creed Aventus samples for the past two years. Across these samples I really love my oldest sample the most when compared to the newer samples. The pineapple is prominent and I can really smell the black currant and smoke. The other samples smell more like lemon and fade fast but the oldest one has some longevity. Is this a change in formulation across the years or is it simply maceration? We know that fragrances can become better with age if stored properly. Should it I get it and hope that in a few years it lives up to the hype?
I have a decant of Creed Aventus and one spray…my wife smells it on me the next day. Thought about getting a full bottle but I am just not sure it is worth the money.
I was just about to buy my first Aventus this past week. But reading so many negative things about it’s performance, made me not to. Now with this video you made, I think I will try a 50ml bottle to start with. And then go for a larger one, and perhaps other Creed fragrances. I just cannot believe a house with this level of reputation, compromises quality over money.
thats what creed stands for meanwhile, money > quality. if you want to buy a bottle of aventus, just look the web up for an older batch. the newer ones are not worth it ;). 19 (without the "N" or older)
@@Maiji24 I bought it, and I can say it is absolutely superb in all senses. It lasts on me not less than 8 hrs, with a good silage. It has the WOW factor wherever I go.
@@arturogomez3387 then you probably never tried an old batch, it’s like the difference between a 10€ fragrance from the supermarket and a niche fragrance ;)
@@Maiji24 I believe you are overexaggerating like most other Aventus fans. I have a batch from late 2021 and it's magical. Those older smoky batches, I would most likely not like at all, I like the fruity freshness of my current Aventus bottle - and it's lasting me 10+ hours easy.
Well My aventus I couldn’t smell it after 2 hours and i thought it’s a bad batch, then 4 hours later at work 2 people complimented me on it. so I must of been nose blind
You are right it’s very hard to wear any other fragrance when adventus is around, I got 13 different fragrances niche and designers but always drawn to the adventus DNA.
I bought a 2022 bottle, and its the first time ive been extremely disappointed with it. A couple of months before i bought a new bottle of green irish tweed as well and even that one was weak, musky and not cery long lasting. The aventus smelled great for a couple of seconds, then it starts getting weaker really quickly. I have tested on paper, clothes skin etc. And same result. Club de nuit was outperferforming it to the point where it got weird. Now it only lasts a couple of hours, and it turns into musky ambroxian. Everyone says the same thing around me. Back in 2016 and before that, I was projecting like a beast with 2 sprays. Now, I can put on 5 sprays, and it smells just okay for 2 hours. I think you might be blinded by sudden changes happening iver time if you buy it yearly. Like when you dont notice how someone close to you gains weight until they are enormous, because tou see them everyday. I never bought into the batch thing and never saw it as a significant problem to even care about it, but this conpletely changed everything for me. My biggest disappointment was the GIT. Its always been a powerhouse for longer than aventus. And now it was useless..:/
ME TOO! This is my first time buying it but after all the reviews I expected it to be amazing, I bought it from the official store in Paris this summer and after 15 minutes using 3 sprays you have to literally touch the nose with the skin to smell something.
Right! And the reviewers wont say anything unless they want to get blacklisted by creed. The fragrances have become completely useless. The funny thing is that I took my gf to a store where they sold creed, and 1 spray of womans aventus lasted and projected heavily the whole day. White the male ones had no performance. I tried aventus (again), himalaya, Silver Mountain and original santal. Nothing. All of them disappear right after you spray them...
Ive stopped using my A42B11Y02 which i have about 40mL left and i don't intend to replace it with a new bottle as the newer batches don't compare and the prices now are outrageous
I just bought Creed aventus as my first expensive cologne and am wondering if one spray is enough & can women smell you (on back of neck) since it's expensive?
U need more than 1 spray ..maybe like 5.. but the trick is to rub a small portion of Vaseline on your desired spots and spray the cologne on top of the Vaseline..the smell would last for hrs without fading
I have a bottle of F212, it’s less complex than my 21p11 but much denser and better performing with the only downside being linearity. Wound up being my most worn frag this year
Bought my first bottle of creed aventus couple weeks ago fell in love with it and have gotten alot of compliments. All of my other colognes smell cheap to me now lol. Any suggestions on a good fragrance to compliment Aventus. Creed Sliver Mountain water or Creed Imperial ??
The best honest most balanced review of any single fragrance I’ve heard. I just bought L4221T01. Do you have that batch? What are your thoughts on it compared to others?
Very good and fair review, my friend ! By the way - I noticed the spraying routine too, will not spray now in front or on my chest any strong perfume or it does not "smell" at all .. on the sides is the best option.
I just purchased a 50ml bottle. Lot F000308 and it has the plastic cap and painted lettering. Do all the 50 ML bottles have the plastic cap and painted lettering?
Yeah I've got my 21R01 which I've used about 6 times got like 95 percent left and have left it sit and it has gotten stronger with sitting for over a year. I also have about 35ml left of a 2015 batch and I still think that one has more depth, more vanilla but my 21R01 after sitting for a year smells very close of course and performs a good 6-7 hours on my skin.
I ran through my 2015 bottle of aventus this July and looking to buy a new one. Quite frankly my most complimented scent DNA (even the clones and aventus inspired ones).
I have four 4 ounce bottles of Aventus from 2016 and they all smell fantastic,each one a teeny-tiny bit different if I smell them next to each other,but great nonetheless
I just bought my first ever bottle, batch F000973. Love the smell but I feel it doesn't project as much as I hoped for. Could it just be the batch or does Aventus usually have this? Anyone got any clues?
Hey Dallas, If you think about it ...Creed is quite savvy. Please follow ; Since a fragrance is always judged by the "Introduction or launch batch" that's where the argument starts. Everyone will say "It's not as great as the first batch , 2010 " But that's what all Introduction batches do . And not just for Creed but for every popular fragrance. So what they are doing is creating there private "Stock market" for that particular fragrance. If they change the recipe every now and then , they are only driving up prices in the after market like Ebay as well as other fragrance collection sites. So this is a mind F!@k for the collector but also brilliant for the "House strategy" to keep the fragrance relevant, create buzz , so they will sell more of the latest incarnation while driving up the cost of past issues.
Great smell but it doesn't perform well in my opinion. The Tom Forde Ombre Leather & Tobacco Vanille is where it's at if you want it to last all day and even into the next day.
I just got a F batch with metal cap, the “creed” lettering is clear. I’m guessing 2023 F batches had black lettering, and 2024 F batches have clear lettering? Can anyone confirm? Because I noticed some new metal cap bottles have black or clear lettering. Also I’ve read a few times F batches with lot numbers over 500 are better smelling or stronger than F batches with lot numbers under 500 aren’t as good?
I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much on a bottle so I bought a couple of samples and let me tell you I am blown away it is probably the best smelling cologne I've ever smelled. Now I've got to have some women smell it against some of my other brands that I know they like and see how it smells to them because in the end I'm wearing it to smell good for the ladies not me.
i checked your batchcode and it wasn't found. i tried mine and it wasn't found either. thats quite odd. but i'm sure mine is genuine though. its from a certified store so..
I can’t believe there’s beef amongst cologne owners and RUclipsrs…that’s crazy, all you did was keep it real man, it’s not like their product is in everyone’s reach because it’s expensive as hell..crazy how they get their feelings hurt like that.. love your videos my dude keep it up 💯
Once my ‘17 4oz bottle is gone, I’m done wit Aventus. After over 100 fragrances purchased afterwards, it’s not even that special anymore. Wit that being said, I wouldn’t sell my 3/4 4oz bottle for $1000
I fell for this CDNIM is Aventus at 1/10th the cost. CDNIM felt quite synthetic and I hated it from the get go. Aventus by comparison feels like a more natural smell. Threw CDNIM away, it was insulting to my Aventus 😃😃
@@bluffmaster4222 me too I just bought the Parfum version but it's no way even close to aventus. My theory is that people just repeat what others are saying or what Jeremy fragrance says and 99% don't even own the real thing lol😂
Yesterday my girlfriend got me a creed aventus with black metal cap, it's the 2022 version, new batch code. What can I say... this smell stays on me for more than a day, on my clothes for a few days..... now the smell is more intense, louder and brighter. Instead of pineapple smokiness I smell melon :)
What site has the best prices for Creed Aventus? I love this cologne, but it is so pricey. I love this DNA and I have to have it. I don't care about batches, they all have the same smell and quality with very small differences in scent.
Nice to see the improvement of the presentation. The plastic cap was such a crap! And also great to hear that the scent itself is still a fantastic one. I´m one of those who did not blame for changing Aventus into a more modern approach and skipt the smokey notes. When I wear Nishane Hacivat the smokey note is always a bit disturbing. I´m excited to smell this one!
Nice video. I bought Aventus, straight from Creed, F000308. The best way I can describe it is, it's the the best possible Aventus Clone created. It just feels constructed to have those old Aventus smells instead of blended. I still wear it, and I still get compliments. I wear it on my wrists. Aventus smells better away from the nose. My 2015 Aventus, I almost got sick of the compliments. Women, men, friends, randoms, EVERYONE. Sometimes would follow me around. I thought I read somewhere some of Creeds ingredients got banned so some changes had to be made. It's worth noting, I'm terrible at describing scents.
I always get my bottles for around $280 from discounters. Still expensive for a 100ml, but I can more justify that that's a common price among higher end fragrances and it's not like I'm buying more than 1 a year.
Hi Dallas, I have a 17W01 batch. Ot got better when i put it in the fridge for 24 hours. I know it sounds weird. But it's true. I also own the 10th anniversary bottle. It's completely different. Great video!

Just got the new batch F00973 and its AMAZING! Glad i didnt listen to everyone saying its bad. Its the same Aventus ive always known and loved
Where did you buy it from?
I second this, I’ve just got the exact same batch and it certainly is on par with my 120ml 2016 M01 batch! Love it!!!!
@AshcroftGolfAcademy I have 4 F batches and all are amazing. Most recent is f298, Royal Oud Aventus! One of the most unique batches I've ever had. F995 is a beast as well 👍.
All getting stronger by the day
@@MikeLarge91320 that’s great to know, enjoy!!
F298 is the most recent batch ?
I'm satisfied with mine, maybe i just got a lucky bottle when i bought it last autumn from the duty free at the airport (it cost only around 200 euros) cause contrary to the usual complains about the longevity, it performs surprisingly well.
If i use more than 3 sprays around the neck/chest then it already chokes me it's so strong and lasts more than any other perfume i own.
I'm not really familiar with batches, my bottle has the transparent "Creed" inscription on it, not the black one.
They brought back how the old Creed caps work, circa pre-2000s. The old ones really hugs the atomizer and have this feeling of slowly sliding first if you put it back on before snapping/clicking. That's how my old Creed caps work.
2 to 3 sprays of this lasted 10 plus hours the projection is a beast for 6 hours
I just got a new bottle of aventus cologne the metal cap is way better than the grey plastic one and this batch is projecting great
Can afforf it. BUT....i refuse to spend amounts on certain things.
I tried 4 samples of this....and i get 4 hours at MOST!!
Yet al haramain l adventure i get an easy 8
And its 40!!! So i know where my money is worth going
I’ve wondered if Blackrock will attempt to stabilize the formula, tweaking the more volatile ingredients, or the ones that have inconsistent supply issues, and those that might get regulated. Hard to say, Blackrock doesn’t tell me their plans.
@@GuiltyNoticer blackrock probably owns your neighbours land and house as well 😹
I appreciate the update i just wish you would’ve told us some more details about longevity and projection for example.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I think it's still worth it Creed Aventus is a 10 out of 10 fragrance in my opinion and have a blessed day
It seems to me Creed has always tried to scrimp and save when it came to its packaging. I will mention that they recently went through a hefty price hike, so be under no illusions that the metal cap upgrade is their way of saying "look we've made improvements" to justify the price increase
I'm not a fan of Creed's ethos by any means, but SMW and Aventus Cologne are joys to wear.
got this batch too with the clear lettering on the bottle. looks fully legit but was sceptical about the clear logo, but good to know its the updated version and that i got a recent batch.
What happens is people wear Aventus for years every single day that their nose becomes used to the scent. That being said, as they buy new bottles they claim it’s weak when in reality, they have just worn the fragrance too much. Same thing will happen to every fragrance. This is why people claim the dupes such as Armaf are better, it’s because there are differences in the fragrance itself which is why people claim it’s stronger when in reality there are slight differences meaning it is a new scent to their noses. Even one note difference in a fragrance can cause your nose to have a new experience, so to speak, therefore interpreting the dupe as superior when in reality there are slight differences in the two. The solution is to stop wearing the same fragrance every single day and switch it up and wear others so you don’t overwear one particular fragrance. I have a 2021 batch of Aventus and I sprayed 2 sprays on my collar bone in addition to three sprays on my neck at 5:00 pm and I would still get whiffs of it at 2:00 in the morning. You’re just becoming nose blind people, other people can still smell you 😂. My wife could still smell me standing 2-3 ft away 3-4 hours after applying even though I could not smell it that strongly. Walked outside when leaving the house and the wind was blowing and she commented on how good the fragrance was projecting off of me filling the air around me.
U didn't take into consideration that people like me have multiple bottle and after the new take over when creed sold out everything went down hill. It does not smell anything like before 2019 batches. Trust me from alot of testing on my gf and daughter I am not goin nose blind. Also best clone to me is pinnaple vintage emperor extrait it smells exactly like my favorite batch from 2017
I agree

6:59 - 7:28. Masterclass on proper scent application.
I’ve been receiving random Creed Aventus samples for the past two years. Across these samples I really love my oldest sample the most when compared to the newer samples. The pineapple is prominent and I can really smell the black currant and smoke. The other samples smell more like lemon and fade fast but the oldest one has some longevity. Is this a change in formulation across the years or is it simply maceration? We know that fragrances can become better with age if stored properly. Should it I get it and hope that in a few years it lives up to the hype?
Are your 2nd and 3rd oldest samples getting any better?
I have a decant of Creed Aventus and one spray…my wife smells it on me the next day. Thought about getting a full bottle but I am just not sure it is worth the money.
I was just about to buy my first Aventus this past week. But reading so many negative things about it’s performance, made me not to. Now with this video you made, I think I will try a 50ml bottle to start with. And then go for a larger one, and perhaps other Creed fragrances. I just cannot believe a house with this level of reputation, compromises quality over money.
thats what creed stands for meanwhile, money > quality. if you want to buy a bottle of aventus, just look the web up for an older batch. the newer ones are not worth it ;). 19 (without the "N" or older)
@@Maiji24 I bought it, and I can say it is absolutely superb in all senses. It lasts on me not less than 8 hrs, with a good silage. It has the WOW factor wherever I go.
@@arturogomez3387 then you probably never tried an old batch, it’s like the difference between a 10€ fragrance from the supermarket and a niche fragrance ;)
@@Maiji24 you’re right, I have never tried older batches.
@@Maiji24 I believe you are overexaggerating like most other Aventus fans. I have a batch from late 2021 and it's magical. Those older smoky batches, I would most likely not like at all, I like the fruity freshness of my current Aventus bottle - and it's lasting me 10+ hours easy.
I love my clone CDNIM but would love the real thing. Out of interest how many bottles of Creed do you own?
You missed the longevity. How longs it last?
Thanks for the review scored a great deal on new batch and been using my first bottle of 2017 aventus batch sparingly.
I would say that if people let their Aventus macerate then they will get a better performance :)
Well My aventus I couldn’t smell it after 2 hours and i thought it’s a bad batch, then 4 hours later at work 2 people complimented me on it. so I must of been nose blind
Does it have a strong smell ? How long does it stay on the skin ?
You are right it’s very hard to wear any other fragrance when adventus is around, I got 13 different fragrances niche and designers but always drawn to the adventus DNA.
I bought a 2022 bottle, and its the first time ive been extremely disappointed with it. A couple of months before i bought a new bottle of green irish tweed as well and even that one was weak, musky and not cery long lasting.
The aventus smelled great for a couple of seconds, then it starts getting weaker really quickly.
I have tested on paper, clothes skin etc. And same result.
Club de nuit was outperferforming it to the point where it got weird.
Now it only lasts a couple of hours, and it turns into musky ambroxian. Everyone says the same thing around me.
Back in 2016 and before that, I was projecting like a beast with 2 sprays.
Now, I can put on 5 sprays, and it smells just okay for 2 hours.
I think you might be blinded by sudden changes happening iver time if you buy it yearly. Like when you dont notice how someone close to you gains weight until they are enormous, because tou see them everyday.
I never bought into the batch thing and never saw it as a significant problem to even care about it, but this conpletely changed everything for me.
My biggest disappointment was the GIT. Its always been a powerhouse for longer than aventus. And now it was useless..:/
ME TOO! This is my first time buying it but after all the reviews I expected it to be amazing, I bought it from the official store in Paris this summer and after 15 minutes using 3 sprays you have to literally touch the nose with the skin to smell something.
Right! And the reviewers wont say anything unless they want to get blacklisted by creed.
The fragrances have become completely useless.
The funny thing is that I took my gf to a store where they sold creed, and 1 spray of womans aventus lasted and projected heavily the whole day.
White the male ones had no performance. I tried aventus (again), himalaya, Silver Mountain and original santal.
Nothing. All of them disappear right after you spray them...
Hi, what batch do you have?
Are all F batches metal caps ?
Ive stopped using my A42B11Y02 which i have about 40mL left and i don't intend to replace it with a new bottle as the newer batches don't compare and the prices now are outrageous
I just bought a bottle and it has the metal cap, but the logo is also painted black! Is it fake?
How long is the duration on this one new one you have??
I just bought Creed aventus as my first expensive cologne and am wondering if one spray is enough & can women smell you (on back of neck) since it's expensive?
U need more than 1 spray ..maybe like 5.. but the trick is to rub a small portion of Vaseline on your desired spots and spray the cologne on top of the Vaseline..the smell would last for hrs without fading
I have a bottle of F212, it’s less complex than my 21p11 but much denser and better performing with the only downside being linearity. Wound up being my most worn frag this year
Again, a change in packaging or bottle says nothing about the juice (batch) inside a perfume bottle!
Bought my first bottle of creed aventus couple weeks ago fell in love with it and have gotten alot of compliments. All of my other colognes smell cheap to me now lol. Any suggestions on a good fragrance to compliment Aventus. Creed Sliver Mountain water or Creed Imperial ??
Silver mountain water
Don’t get the creed imperial silver mountain is okay my opinion is the Adventus is best by far Santal is also nice
Get viking. It is one of the best creeds!
Get original vetiver. It’s green fresh and lasts all day. It’s my morning fragrance. I love it.
I appreciate this video. Thanks for the info.
Did creed update all their bottles or just Aventus?
The best honest most balanced review of any single fragrance I’ve heard. I just bought L4221T01. Do you have that batch? What are your thoughts on it compared to others?
Very good and fair review, my friend ! By the way - I noticed the spraying routine too, will not spray now in front or on my chest any strong perfume or it does not "smell" at all .. on the sides is the best option.
I just purchased a 50ml bottle. Lot F000308 and it has the plastic cap and painted lettering. Do all the 50 ML bottles have the plastic cap and painted lettering?
Yeah I've got my 21R01 which I've used about 6 times got like 95 percent left and have left it sit and it has gotten stronger with sitting for over a year. I also have about 35ml left of a 2015 batch and I still think that one has more depth, more vanilla but my 21R01 after sitting for a year smells very close of course and performs a good 6-7 hours on my skin.
I ran through my 2015 bottle of aventus this July and looking to buy a new one. Quite frankly my most complimented scent DNA (even the clones and aventus inspired ones).
This is Blackrock making the decisions, since Olivier Creed sold the brand to them recently.
Very sad and scary, glad people know about this
I have four 4 ounce bottles of Aventus from 2016 and they all smell fantastic,each one a teeny-tiny bit different if I smell them next to each other,but great nonetheless
I just bought my first ever bottle, batch F000973. Love the smell but I feel it doesn't project as much as I hoped for. Could it just be the batch or does Aventus usually have this? Anyone got any clues?
I seriously appreciate all this information
But is it magnetic though
Thanks for sharing this I finally got a bottle ans was a little worried why my didn't look like the others
Where did he get the newest bottle with the metal cap?
My Aventus batch is F000972
Does anyone know when this batch was produced? I’ve worn it once and it seems to be performing well
Hey Dallas, If you think about it ...Creed is quite savvy. Please follow ; Since a fragrance is always judged by the "Introduction or launch batch" that's where the argument starts. Everyone will say "It's not as great as the first batch , 2010 " But that's what all Introduction batches do . And not just for Creed but for every popular fragrance. So what they are doing is creating there private "Stock market" for that particular fragrance. If they change the recipe every now and then , they are only driving up prices in the after market like Ebay as well as other fragrance collection sites. So this is a mind F!@k for the collector but also brilliant for the "House strategy" to keep the fragrance relevant, create buzz , so they will sell more of the latest incarnation while driving up the cost of past issues.
Great smell but it doesn't perform well in my opinion. The Tom Forde Ombre Leather & Tobacco Vanille is where it's at if you want it to last all day and even into the next day.
in your opinion which year is the best?
I just got a F batch with metal cap, the “creed” lettering is clear. I’m guessing 2023 F batches had black lettering, and 2024 F batches have clear lettering? Can anyone confirm? Because I noticed some new metal cap bottles have black or clear lettering.
Also I’ve read a few times F batches with lot numbers over 500 are better smelling or stronger than F batches with lot numbers under 500 aren’t as good?
I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much on a bottle so I bought a couple of samples and let me tell you I am blown away it is probably the best smelling cologne I've ever smelled. Now I've got to have some women smell it against some of my other brands that I know they like and see how it smells to them because in the end I'm wearing it to smell good for the ladies not me.
i checked your batchcode and it wasn't found.
i tried mine and it wasn't found either. thats quite odd.
but i'm sure mine is genuine though.
its from a certified store so..
Never count on batch code checkers online they arnt reliable at all.
I am one of the first here....good video bro as always...keep them coming...always can learn something new
I just love when a man speaks truth.
Bravo.
If I buy directly from the Creed Website, will I get the metal cap?
What discounters do you recommend to get this from? I didn’t see the link
Just got my bottle with the metal cap! OMG, it smells delicious! Batch F000316. Smoky, pineapple bomb on the opening!
I'm looking to purchase a bottle did you buy it from a few of the links that he posted in his video
So wait? Is this actually a New improved batch?? I have been holding on buying after reading all the negative comments of 2020-2021 badgea
F000316 was the worst batch I have ever had. I use Aventus nonstop since 2017
@@mrnice00 what new batch do you suggest for smoky side
I can’t believe there’s beef amongst cologne owners and RUclipsrs…that’s crazy, all you did was keep it real man, it’s not like their product is in everyone’s reach because it’s expensive as hell..crazy how they get their feelings hurt like that.. love your videos my dude keep it up 💯
Once my ‘17 4oz bottle is gone, I’m done wit Aventus. After over 100 fragrances purchased afterwards, it’s not even that special anymore. Wit that being said, I wouldn’t sell my 3/4 4oz bottle for $1000
Armaf CDNIM gonna change their caps to metal for sure 😂 a cube that can break a windshield.
Don’t give them any ideas 😂
Shit I think mine is metal, atleast metal plated over the plastic
I fell for this CDNIM is Aventus at 1/10th the cost. CDNIM felt quite synthetic and I hated it from the get go. Aventus by comparison feels like a more natural smell. Threw CDNIM away, it was insulting to my Aventus 😃😃
@@bluffmaster4222 me too I just bought the Parfum version but it's no way even close to aventus. My theory is that people just repeat what others are saying or what Jeremy fragrance says and 99% don't even own the real thing lol😂
Yesterday my girlfriend got me a creed aventus with black metal cap, it's the 2022 version, new batch code. What can I say... this smell stays on me for more than a day, on my clothes for a few days..... now the smell is more intense, louder and brighter. Instead of pineapple smokiness I smell melon :)
Creed is kinda trash these days I don't think it's just Aventus that is constantly going downhill.
What is your second favorite creed fragrance other than Aventis?
What site has the best prices for Creed Aventus? I love this cologne, but it is so pricey. I love this DNA and I have to have it. I don't care about batches, they all have the same smell and quality with very small differences in scent.
Costco
Hi there, can you recommend any place where to buy Creed´s caps (new or old)? I would like to replace the cap of my Royal Oud bottle. Thanks!
where do I buy Creed fragrances with metal cap? thanks :)
This is an amazing long lasting scent that is best in fall and winter, one of the greatest musk forward scents
Hey Bro..Where did you grab your new metal cap version?
the new ones look abit more lemon / yellow colour ? not transparent correct ?
do the newest version in 2023 come shrink wrapped ? i bought an Aventus and Aventus Cologne from Macy's and neither were shrink wrapped.
Nice to see the improvement of the presentation. The plastic cap was such a crap!
And also great to hear that the scent itself is still a fantastic one. I´m one of those who did not blame for changing Aventus into a more modern approach and skipt the smokey notes. When I wear Nishane Hacivat the smokey note is always a bit disturbing.
I´m excited to smell this one!
How can you tell if you got a fake bottle or not? I’m a weed man so I can tell with weed but not cologne.
Nice video. I bought Aventus, straight from Creed, F000308. The best way I can describe it is, it's the the best possible Aventus Clone created. It just feels constructed to have those old Aventus smells instead of blended. I still wear it, and I still get compliments. I wear it on my wrists. Aventus smells better away from the nose.
My 2015 Aventus, I almost got sick of the compliments. Women, men, friends, randoms, EVERYONE. Sometimes would follow me around. I thought I read somewhere some of Creeds ingredients got banned so some changes had to be made. It's worth noting, I'm terrible at describing scents.
I always get my bottles for around $280 from discounters. Still expensive for a 100ml, but I can more justify that that's a common price among higher end fragrances and it's not like I'm buying more than 1 a year.
I have F000213 and mine also has metal black cap, but the lettering is still black!? I'm confused now ...
Hi Dallas, I have a 17W01 batch. Ot got better when i put it in the fridge for 24 hours. I know it sounds weird. But it's true. I also own the 10th anniversary bottle. It's completely different. Great video!
I notice that refrigerating a fragrance can help with the performance and smell.
@@KeyScents223how was the new batch?
@KeyScents223 Yes, it is. And I also just got a 21 batch. Mine is very pineapple heavy. But it lasts about 6 to 8 hours on me with molecule 01.
I've just opened batch F000211. Can't smell it after 5 minutes. Is this normal?
Thanks this just made my day
