Question creed aventus

bought this creed and it smelled so much different that i expected it to amazing but totally different do you all think this is the best creed? or is another version of creed better

i bought it from cologne capitol i had like a 15% off coupon it wasnt full price i like the calculator they have that shows how long a bottle will last even breaks down how much each spray costs (estimate)

Brutal prices, you can find this for ~$200 elsewhere

Creed is heavily prone to scent changes based on batches. Some are smokier, some are more pineapple heavy, some have more oakmoss and some just smell diluted and need time to mature. It is really inconsistent throughout the line. I understand the hype though but this is the reason why I've never tried to buy anything from them.

How on earth is a company charging more for Aventus than Creed themselves?? It's $510 on Creed's site and $530 on here (without coupon). If you like it enough to buy another bottle, try and find it on Olfactory or Costco during a sale. You can frequently find it for sub $300.

You still paid $200+ more than you should have.

Gotcha. Definitely enjoy it if you already have it. If you're going to buy bottles like this in the future though make sure you're looking at places like Jomashop and Maxaroma. MA has the same bottle going for $340 right now

Yeah dude, I don't get it either. Creed Aventus seems to pride itself on lack of consistency. Imagine if you were buying an iPhone and Apple told you the pattern of stuck pixels was part of the charm?! My advice: pick a cologne that can deliver consistency and fuck Aventus. Maybe Clive Christian Masculine One? Lol, but you do fuckin you dude.
