Extreme, but pleasant
It is Friday, 23:30; the working week is over; the weekend begins with this night! The club is full. Anyway, I know the bouncer. He always lets me and my boys in. Inside: dark light, swirling bass, party. And me? I belong here. I wear my white shirt, black jeans, dark leather shoes and Ultra Male, because I know he will stand out and arrive.
This is what I imagine when I smell Ultra Male while sitting in front of the PC, drinking my Capri Sun (orange of course - everything else is whack) and watching the umpteenth YouTube video about leaven.
Well, to each his own. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, just like Ultra Male has: The scent is sweet, very sweet, like a ripe pear, made with puff pastry and vanilla cream. That's often not my case, but sometimes, I want that and then it's eye-twisting good. Ultra Male can be part of a full fragrance collection, but in moderation. (Note in the margin: Please take care not to consume too much sugar, especially added industrial sugar)
Even though Ultra Male seems to be more for the party scene, I think you can wear it during the day, but then only very discreetly and rather on colder days. That's something different than constantly smelling perfume, which smells like perfume, especially in your free time. Fresh and tart are great, but sometimes it can be sweet, even if not everyone likes it. What does it do?
Durability and sillage are good.
The bottle is nice to hold, but is a bit too on the nose for me (Do you understand? Nose -> Scent and nose, because only the torso is shaped. Jokes, where the nose smells to (again!). Oh yes, the last word of the sentence outside the parenthesis is still missing. This parenthesis is hereby closed) Party Stallion.

The definition of "citric".
The strawberry yoghurt does not taste like real strawberries, the peach ice tea does not taste like real peaches. One associates flavours with the real model, but they rarely reach their model. Nevertheless, such industrially processed foods can be delicious. You know what is meant
For me, this also applies to scented waters. The citric scent doesn't smell like real citrus fruits, but just citric-ish, but still great. Now my bergamot and yuzu plants don't grow as well on the windowsill as I would like them to (sarcasm over). So I have never been allowed to smell many fragrances in their original form.
All the better I like Mugler's Fly Away. I smell grapefruit, oranges and lemons, like I just peeled some. A killer bouquet
CAUTION: NOT SUITABLE FOR CONSUMATION!
The shelf life is so sloppy. Enough for a walk to the nearby baker and maybe back.
I think the bottle is just fine.

Conclusion of a fragrance novice: Exceptionally mediocre.
To put it nicely: fully ripe pineapple meets smoky notes.
My impression: The attempt to keep a pineapple that is about to run out of its shelf life edible with a grill/smoker.
Personally, I miss the slightly citric effervescence of a beautiful pineapple. The tart notes are not quite my cup of tea. It should be said that I am not the biggest fan of tart scents. But this - let's call it - "healthy respect" is something that other fragrances like Dior's Sauvage and Terre d'Hermès know how to overcome much better
Directly after the application I take the different (but probably not all of the above) notes still differentiated. After a few hours they become weaker and form a halfway pleasant, tart and fresh unity. I don't perceive a big change of the fragrance character. I wish for such steadfastness also from other fragrances. After all, I usually like to keep the best scent for as long as possible, although slight changes can be interesting. The shelf life is decent.
The bottle appears to me simple, noble and of high quality, which has its charm. I do not find it really beautiful. Rather unwieldy, but with the amount of brands and perfumes, it depends more on the design.
For me Aventus is not worth the price even after several rounds (still?). In my opinion there are better alternatives from other brands and also better scents from Creed. This may also be due to the batches I tested, where nuances can vary, as I read here. But I didn't pay attention to these and I think that a customer doesn't have to, because it should be the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure sufficient consistency.
Opinions differ and that's good. Criticism must be allowed and ideally it brings you forward.

From mild lemon to soap
This comment is based on a sample of the fragrance when buying a perfume. A card where you can peel off a foil to expose the fabric.
In the beginning a very interesting smell, of which I would have liked to have more. The lemon seems creamy and soft to me thanks to coconut and fig. In addition a pleasant light spice. After about 20 min on the wrist the journey ends in the soap region. Certainly not a cheap soap, rather a good sensitive soap that doesn't smell of fruits but wants to achieve results. In the end, however, I think it is easier to achieve this smell.
