Agreed. IMO, the drydown really smells of dried dates usually sold in abundance during the fasting month.

SOTD: Coeur de vetiver sacre

Woah dates?Now that I must check out.

IMHO.Creed Aventus is over-hyped & over-rated.

Pineapple,birch & musk.Smoky pineapple for a large sum of money?No thank you.
Decent projection,decent longevity.Not worth a full bottle but as a decant or sample ONLY.

I think people only get into this Aventus "the best frag ever" craze is due to it being Creed.So far having tried this and SMW,not impressed at all.

Agreed.. Although what I got was mostly smoke with just a tinge of pineapple.. Blegh.

It was fruity at the top then I get A LOT of birch(smoke) with pineapple lingering after the rest of the top notes dried off.The whole time it was smoky pineapple then ended with soft musk.
The ingredients were high quality for sure.

Sprayed it on a few friends and they totally agreed it was nothing special.

Thanx..

Yeah, thats just Creed fanboys talking. Its a nice/good/quality frag for sure. But its not the best thing since sliced bread by far.

I would buy a full bottle if the price was right though. Along with Himalaya. The right price being around SGD100. Its possible, just have to keep eyes open.

Quality ingredients for sure.Well it'll be in one of my next videos,gonna get heat for a negative review.

If there are bottles selling for about $100 +/- then it's about right.
