Rock star with a few dents
So, Creed Aventus. Where do I start? This fragrance isn't just any fragrance, it's like a rock star in the fragrance world. It has practically created its own fragrance category. At least that way I can excuse the countless dupes ;-)
What's inside:
We're talking about a combination of smoky pineapple and woody notes. Sounds unusual at first, but somehow it just works. It's as if someone thought: "Let's try something crazy", and the result is brilliant. This characteristic combination of smoky, woody notes and the fresh fruitiness of pineapple gives it a masculine and powerful aura.
The famous (or infamous) "Pantydropper" thing:
Honestly, all the hype about Aventus being a "pantydropper" is a bit overblown. Sure, it's a great fragrance and attracts attention, but it's not like everyone is suddenly melting away by the dozen. It's more like wearing a really good suit - you feel great, but it's not the suit alone that makes the difference.
Also, it's not necessarily sexy to smell like every third person...
Performance:
This is where it gets a little tricky. Over the years, the longevity has diminished in my opinion. The fragrance used to be a fortress that lasted for hours, but today it seems somehow watered down. The scent is still there, but not as powerful and present as it used to be. The sillage is still considerable, but it has also lost some of its former strength. Aventus still leaves a trace, but it has become more subtle and restrained. Of course, it could be that I simply no longer perceive the fragrance as strongly because I have smelled it so often.
Conclusion:
Creed Aventus is probably (not) a statement fragrance. It has really shaken up the perfume world and will probably continue to be a talking point. Whether it really is a "pantydropper" or not - it remains a fragrance that makes an impression and is memorable.
