Күн бұрынWhich is the best Aventus copy? Can Perfumer Aaron Terence Hughes identify REAL Aventus amongst the many clones? In this video Aaron blind smells Aventus and some of the best Aventus dupes and tries to pick out the real one. I even thrown in a cheeky curveball! How good is his nose?

I learn a lot watching Aaron. I own several clones and I’ve noticed that I can’t pick up much scent on first spray but as the day goes on they start to radiate. But the scent they are radiating is more often than not very simple with one or two notes coming through. This gives me a mall oil vibe. I can buy a bath and body works pineapple oil for around 10 bucks. I’ve found the sweet spot is with Mancera fragrances. They give you that heavy base oil vibe but they smell more sophisticated and well blended than most clone houses. My two cents.

Great video, Chris! Always a pleasure seeing the two of you together. One *slight* thing, though: the CDNIM Parfum is not the same juice as the Limited Edition Parfum (which is the one that Aaron reviewed very positively recently). The Limited Edition is noticeably smoother and more 'airy' than the straight parfum.

I bought about 6-8 250ml Aventus over the last years. Plus additional normal spray bottles. So I really fed Creed well. I loved Aventus back then. But Today I opened a new bottle. And over the last years I noticed that Aventus went weaker and weaker. But today it blew my mind. This has nothing to do with the Aventus from 2016. You cant smell any pineapple. There is almost zero smoke compared to older batches. When I spray the 2016 version, my arm is shiny from all the oil and boy it is gorgeos smelling. The new version after just 1 hour you cant smell anything of it anymore. I compared it to the old formula and guys trust me: Dont give Creed any more money, they are ripping you off. Im crying wirh one eye but now I just ordered the Emperor Extrait.

Even after the horrendous opening it smells like a chemical bomb. I felt like I was getting harsh chemical fumes all day and couldn’t wait to wash it off.

It's been my most complimented fragrance for sure but I see where people think the opening is harsh. But the reason I'm done with CDNIM is because I've purchased it twice and both times the atomizer stopped spraying after a couple of months and I had to pry the cap off and transfer the contents to a new bottle. I tried all the tricks to unclog the atomizers or fix them but nothing worked. That should be the easiest thing to get right and I won't be buying it again
