I know people are going to jump in with their hate toward expensive colognes, but this is the best price I've ever seen for Aventus. We get it, you prefer $12 Amazon scents, and that's perfectly fine, but just as some people buy designer clothes when $3 boxers will do the trick, some people enjoy more expensive scents. Both are fine, stop projecting.

what's your source of this being watered down? Did you test a current and previous version side by side?

Be very careful buying Creed or any high end fragrance from discount stores. Often we see it can be counterfeit and it can be hard to tell the difference on the packaging. This may be very legit but Creed pricing rarely gets cut that much. I've seen and smelled the fake Creed and it's ok but you can tell it doesn't have the same Top note, middle or base notes and longevity is lacking. Again this could be legit, happy hunting!

Too many great clones for me to ever bite on Aventus, unless it was around $100. Too many people testify that the real stuff isn't made well anymore.

I was at some Louis Vuitton store smelling random scents and one of those colognes smelled like this one but can't remember which one.
I remember that one as well! It was in a bottle.

What's a good clone, I feel like none end up lasting either.

Costco is a publicly traded billion dollar company, not like buying cologne from a local close out store or gas station! It is safe to say they are not sourcing from illegitimate sources!

I've bought two bottle of Aventus this size. One about 8 years ago and another 1.5 years ago from Costco. I am disappointment in the overall scent and performance of my recent bottle. It's had over a year to mature and it's less robust and present compared to what I had when I was first introduced. It's still a decent scent, but I understand why we are seeing it cheaper and cheaper as time moves forward; the scent is slowly losing its value.

I use Executive no 26 at altfragrances and LAventure by Al Haramain for Men at Walmart($28). Get compliments on both. Not sure if it lasts all day, but it does for at least 4-6 hours. I'm sure Creed is better, but the lower projection and 1-2 hour last doesn't really work for me. Some people say the pre-blackrock or direct from boutique ones last all day, but I'll never know because I don't know anyone worth half a grand for a fleeting smell profile.

Quote from Mikholmes :
This is a copy of a email I received from Creed when I had a problem from my Costco purchase in Sept. 2024 Thank you for contacting The House of Creed. I am sorry to hear about the sprayer of your Creed fragrance. Websites offering Creed products at discounted prices are not authorized representatives of Creed. This means that Costco does not work with us; as such, there is no way for us to verify the product purchased at unauthorized retailers, which could be old, fake, tampered with, or defective. Kindly note that the pricing for authentic Creed products sold within North America is consistent across our website, boutiques, and authorized retailers, which can be located here. Unfortunately, at this time, we can only assist with orders that were purchased directly at creedboutique.com. Purchases made from a third-party retailer will require the retailer's assistance to resolve any imposing issues. From here, we do suggest that the store is contacted directly to provide any potential resolutions pertaining to this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
What a cop-out response by Creed. The is absolutely no way they don't have a hand—directly or indirectly—in their product being sold at a wholesaler as large as Costco.

Creed was bought by Blackrock and sold to Gucci last year. It's probably isn't like the Creed we knew from a decade ago. Likely watered down or changed to sell cheap to the masses. This should be $130 or less.
I haven't smelled the recent years but I've smelled from 2015 to 2021 and people have been complaining about batch differences and reformulations every year. It all smells the same. Let it macerate a year and you won't be able to tell the difference from an older bottle

Agreed! Aren't you the same one who added $7 boxer brief deal from Duluth Trading Company few days ago? A bit unfair to someone who gets impressed by you based upon Aventus only to discover a Duluth Trading Company boxer brief not a Versace Big Grin

Thanks for the recommendation. do you recommend any other good quality dupes?
Tom ford tobacco vanilla, or an impression of it. A good looking bartender literally walked around the bar to ask me what I was wearing last week. That was about 3 hours after I put it on. I used to wear creed aventus back in 2019, 2020 because it got the same reaction. It's weaker now and I haven't had that reaction in years. I have ordered their testers hoping it gets better, but it hasn't. Just wore some last night, no one mentioned a thing.

Creed Delphiniums is what gets noticed most. But it's not a woody scent. Or Tom Ford Oud Wood if you like the smell of oud.

despite the rave and constant reviews on slickdeals about this scent, i bought it a year ago and returned it. it is not for everyone and is VERY strong. i like lighter, more personal smells. i don't need someone sitting 4 tables away to know what i'm wearing, only the person hugging up on me.
