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.

  • The deal price may still feel attractive compared with prior lows around $200 to $230.

  • Some buyers view $240 as an excellent price based on earlier purchases at higher prices.

  • Extrait and limited edition versions are described as not harsh and as great options.

  • Some alternatives like Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Extrait are recommended as reasonably priced substitutes.

  • Newer Aventus bottles are reportedly watered down with weaker projection and shorter longevity.

  • Aventus performance is described as requiring multiple sprays and fading quickly during a commute.

  • Aventus quality and scent longevity are reportedly worse after the company was sold.

  • Batch-to-batch variation is reported as significant, and current versions are described as trash compared with older bottles.

Parfums Vintage Emperor Extrait is by far the best clone. If you want more pineapple, get the Pineapple Vintage Intense. These clones are a little pricier, but outperform the the real thing and are comparable to the older batches of Aventus. I bought a bottle from Costco last year. And while the scent profile is still there, it doesn't come close to the old 2016-2017 batches. Creed has gone down hill with their quality control.

Why's Creed so expensive and why you buy it?

PSA - There are recent warnings about all products using the term "parfum" or "parfume". I'd look up recent warnings and know what you're getting, or better yet just stay away. It should come as no surprise, but justified disappointment, that many of the products today are turning out to be hazardous or at best "less than good" for you. Up to you, but it would behoove you to at least look it up and spend a little time reading.Merry New Year....
Sounds tin foil hatty to make a blanket statement about anything with "parfum". All that term means basically is concentration.

Fragrance is a common allergen so I can understand some people not reacting to it well but that doesn't equal "hazardous".

While we're at it we should probably take a deeper look at dihydrogen monoxide that's been popping up in some products at the supermarket...

Damn you guys are balln spending this much on cologne. I thought people couldn't afford groceries right now?
Data is pointing to the US economy growing right now. Americans are spending what they don't have and buying things they don't need. I would say that's case in point for this product and this site in general.

My favorite thing about Aventus threads on SD are the posts from people who don't like it, never used it, or don't care anything about it telling the few that are interested that's it's overpriced, hated by women and overrated.

Yeah, I get it; H2O is a scary thing in the wrong hands. However, no tin foil hat on this one, though they can be quite attractive. Smilie

It's just a suggestion to do some research because some of this stuff (specifically sold under the Parfum/e rubric may be full of toxins). This is very new research but I'm neither an MD nor a PhD researcher (nor do I play one on TV).

There are researchers that I respect however, and though I can no longer do the organic chemistry metabolite break downs I once could/learned (epidemiology at Yale med), there are some aberrant paths this stuff can take. Basically, we're not treated well by most industries when making money is paramount.

Of course anyone is free to eat "cheese like substances" that come from a pressurized can as well. It's still somewhat of a "free" country. Merry New Year...nod

If this was a video game deal, it would have 147 thumbs up. I like to smell good.

One spray bro, the dupe is strong and harsh. Smells better on the comedown
Extrait is not harsh, your talking about EDT. Limited edition is also great
