What this scent is trying to tell me.
It starts with a rather violently synthetic salty raspberry. Fortunately this is softened by spices and some smoke. The first shock seems to be overcomeable.
The opening strangely reminds me very much of the salty mandarin of Aqva Amara. Sounds funny to you, but it is to me. Somehow fruity, metallic and very salty. After the opening the fragrance becomes more pleasing.
But strangely enough, it smells like rose to me in the air. This spicy raspberry has something of a noble rose.
But then I wonder what the scent wants or who should wear it.
In my opinion it is too spicy for the ladies, and too pompously rosy for gentlemen. So somehow the ultimate unisex scent and at the same time not on both sides.
Funny...
I carried him to an evening Christmas market visit with friends and felt funny about it. I find it good at times and unsuitable for me at other times.
You will surely notice that it is very difficult for me to make a rating.
I would classify the durability of the EDP as very unhealthy. After 2 days and two showers still smelling slightly on the back of the hand. The Sillage is strong in the first 2-3 hours, then very moderate.

Hey, guys,
i don't own Creed Aventus myself but nevertheless I have often smelled this scent and have worn it on me.
A friend who belongs to the Rockabilly scene has this scent (CA) and invited me to play it. In his opinion, it is the best Barbershop fragrance.
I put it on and immediately noticed this unbelievably powerful freshness coupled with grandpa's best aftershave. Fantastic somehow oldschool but also modern.
That was a pretty good one. Granddad's aftershave, shower gel, wood, leather, citrus, sweet pineapple, pepper but unfortunately also this smoky touch. I think it's awesome, except for the smoked one. At first he is incredibly strong and horny in the sillage but after 3 hours ca he is also away with me. Only smellable on the skin but not so interesting anymore. Just pineapple and something smoky.
An interesting fragrance before I knew the price.
After I asked around a bit and read in, I came to Vibrant Leather from Zara.
They said, "It smells like Creed Aventus, but it's much cheaper"!
Zack towards the next shed and sprayed and bought for the narrow thaler.
What do you want me to say? Smells amazingly similar at first. There's something going on.
Grandpa is back, even more fresh, somehow lighter (if you can put it that way), citric, peppery and sweet pineapple (though less). Thank God no smoke!
Actually it smells like a super thing, but Creed Aventus remains exciting, while Vibrant Leather becomes boring, even exaggeratedly vulgar. The first hour VL remains very complex, but little by little he seems to lose the components abruptly (leather and wood from the beginning already rather less). Strade smelled and already after short time away. Too bad!
What unfortunately remains in the end is only to be smelled on the skin. And unfortunately, that's just sweet plörre. It's like tipping cans of pineapple juice over your skin. And that's a shame!
Aventus, without smoke, in cheap would have been so beautiful. But unfortunately it's not .
Still, I'd recommend VL to anyone who loves Aventus DNA. In the club or at parties you will attract positive attention anyway.
I now own Montblanc Explorer, which is another similar fragrance to Creed Aventus.
If you liked my opinion, I would like to write you another review about Montblanc Explorer!
