It is absolutely not worth the price anymore.
I had a 2015 and 2017 bottle - paid $300-400 each.. both smelled fantastic and lasted me years (like 5 years with occasional use). One spray was WAY more than enough for the day.
This new stuff is watered down garbage. It smells the same, yes. But the projection and longevity are awful. It takes 3 or 4 sprays to get a good scent, and it's almost gone by the time I get to work (45 minute drive). Cremo lasts longer. Just avoid - the old Aventus is dead.
Community Reviews
Creed Aventus is still prized for its smoky pineapple scent, but the community focus is on whether the current bottle justifies the premium. The current Costco price around $239.99 after rebate is viewed as decent by some, especially versus past prices near $270 or more, and Mont Blanc Explorer, Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Extrait, and Parfums Vintage Emperor Extrait come up as popular alternatives. The main concern is weaker newer batches, with shorter longevity, softer projection, and a scent that no longer matches older bottles as closely. A solid option if you want the name and profile, but the value depends heavily on batch and expectations.
Shoppers comparing Aventus to clones, because several alternatives are described as close, long lasting, or better value.
Fragrance collectors chasing the older Aventus profile, because vintage bottles are described as richer and longer lasting than current production.
Wearers wanting a strong daytime scent trail, because the EDT is described as projecting hard and lasting through the work commute.
Buyers who want a recognizable luxury fragrance and are comfortable paying for the name, because the scent profile is still there even when newer batches are weaker.
People expecting the current bottle to match older batches, because newer production is described as watered down with weaker projection and shorter longevity.
Buyers looking for the best value over brand prestige, because several alternatives are described as lasting longer or outperforming it.
Shoppers who want a smooth, gentle opening, because the EDT can smell strong and harsh at first spray.
People who need a fragrance that stays consistent across purchases, because batch variation is described as unusually large.

Has anyone tried this and intense by armaf ? Had that one awhile back and liked it. Is this worth the premium over the clones ? Or not

Absolutely not worth the premium. I will give Armaf credit because they do not water their product down (at least what I have). You get a lasting smell. $CPB situation - what if we just save money by replacing ingredients with water? Works for a bit...
Can some women tell the difference? Absolutely. Are they happy you don't smell like a combination body odor and Axe body spray? Yes.
But always make sure to order any cologne, parfume, perfume from a reputable distributor. Alibaba and Temu have this for like $8. Totally not a scam.
As I said, it's all new, and I had the same skeptical reaction when I first heard it. That's not the half of it though; she also talks about the toxicity of the thermal receipts we get at the average store.
I'm pretty sure that if I hear/read/see any more of this kind of research/material I'll be left with one final, but inevitable rational conclusion......
No one - to my knowledge so far - gets out of here alive.... Life causes death....

Although slightly more expensive than the other suggested dupes here, you should be able to easily find this scent in a department store. Unlike the cheaper dupes that aren't generally carried in brick-and-mortar stores, you don't have to blind buy this one.
I also own and have smelled several clones and none capture all the stages of the good years of aventus. I stopped using my bottle because 120ml bottles are valued at over 1 thousand on eBay so I think I'd be a fool to use it knowing some die hards would pay 5 times what I paid for it.
In the end, there are so many great smelling fragrances that you don't need this exact one as no fragrance is magic.
Current versions of aventus are trash, they just riding the fame from their golden years. I much rather buy mont Blanc explorer (captures the opening of Ave tus well but not the dry down) for a fraction than be scammed with current weak aventus.
