Decanted Sample of Aventus by Creed

I wasn't sure I even wanted to love this due to the price per bottle, but there's no doubt about it that this is a classic scent. Lasted the entirety of my day, and the dry down is where this one shines. Curious how it stacks up against some of the more affordable dupes out there.

Very disappointed with how long this fragrance lasts. It has weak sillage and lasts around two hours then it basically vanishes. Won't be buying it again.

This fragrance has been duped and copied so many times even the original doesn't seem like itself anymore. The opening is strong and pronounced, but the dry down and longevity suffer. I feel like Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition smells the closest to Aventus but makes up all the slack in the longevity department. Maybe it's the formulation that everyone always talks about but that rabbit hole is sealed off for me.

Get CDNIM it’s the same smell

Expensive, but fantastic. Has a musky finish, but it isn't overpowering. Would definitely but a bottle of this.

I have always wanted to smell this stuff, and decant house seemed like the way to do it. Ordered a small sample, and it smells great! Will probably buy a smaller version to keep for special occasions!

It is popular for a reason. Smells awesome.
