I like this more than standard aventus. I do love the drydown. Can’t justify the price.

You know what won't be limited edition.... The dupes when they come out, waiting on armaf's version.👍👍

Aaron's review was literally going to determine if I bought it or not. I sincerely doubt this will be a limited edition. It's already at discounters. Just my opinion, but I think it's marketing (it's creed) trying to see how it sells and how it's received. The first batch may be limited, but if people are buying it, they're not going to discontinue it.

I think Creed did a smart thing by making it limited. And seeing how so many people would chase after this and grab a bottle regardless of the price.

I also prefer this to all the regular Aventus I've smelled before. Love it.

I love it, happy with my purchase as I don't have many bottles but invest in special ones. I think this is going to be a yearly release.

I’m surprised you are cool with the price. $545 for 75ml. Limited but all so familiar a scent.

I absolutely love this stuff, just a shame about the price. Definitely don't think it'll be limited edition though, probably just a PR stunt to get more sales, knowing the horrible greedy company creed has become nowadays 😢.

Didn’t expect this one from you so fast, but was happy to see it. I picked this one up straight away after testing it 😊

Thank you Aaron❤great video as always,love it 🦄🥰

Great breakdown as you said it better then I. its a real winner and sad the price will keep this out of so many hands...

Tried this in Harrods yesterday. The guy sprayed the original on left and this on right. The original smelt totally flat compared to this, its lovely in the opening and mid. Dry down honestly they smelt the same to me and didn't last as long either. If the drydown remained like the start/mid I would of picked up a bottle I think.

So happy I only bought a decant of this. I don’t mind spending extra for a great fragrance but this is definitely not it, at least for myself.

Great review Aaron, spot on. Muchas gracias!!!

It may be limited temporarily to see how it sells. I'd imagine Aventus Absolu will continue if there's a great response to it.

Always a pleasure listening to your reviews. Thank you, my friend.

Glad you like it, I quite enjoy this one as well!

Wow i was expecting Aaron to take it apart and say it isn't worth it etc but it's a perfect 10, I ain't paying for it though i have the original aventus and i like it but not enough to repurchase it,

I have a sample, I actually like the scent. It has vibes of Dior Sauvage Elixir….just fresher and lighter. The prices are already dropping in the Facebook groups. I’ve seen these sell low as $320

I got a 10ml of it and it’s really nice imo. Definitely way overpriced, but a lot of people hate on the actual smell of it and I don’t see why.

I like when you say if you would of wouldn’t wear it. It really puts into perspective for me. ✌🏻❤

I think all newer Creed bottles have metallic caps now

i refer to the wonderful video of george "the fragrance apprentice" - a must watch which says it all. nuff said. thanks

The only reason it’s limited edition is so that they can charge more for it. There are no ingredients in this fragrance that are in any way rare or hard to get hold of. Guerlain do limited editions every year (like the Shalimar Milessime’s) that are less than half this price & using just as good (if not higher) quality ingredients, so it is possible to produce limited editions without ripping off buyers.

Great video. Great review. Thank you, Aaron! 🫡

Great so the bottles are priced over 150 dollars higher in the U.S and I bout 3 bottles. I could have gotten another whole bottle in Europe. I’m personally really impressed by the scent and my lady is blown away by it.

Great video. I’m glad to see you didn’t say it was a sauvage clone like some people are saying. I see ZERO sauvage comparison in the smell. It’s a shame that people see “grapefruit” as a listed note and automatically think it’s Sauvage inspired.

I can't wait for your addicted fragrance to be more readily available here in the states.

$500+ for any fragrance is madness.

been a long time since i last watched one of your videos, i dont know why i stopped, prob because been focusing too much on my job, love you Aaron

They said limited yet I’ve seen at least three different batch codes so far. I wonder what bottle he has because one is black currant prominent and another is grapefruit prominent in the opening.

It's insane that this costs so much for being so uninspired.

WOOHOO!! We got a 10!! Excellent video!

Aventus was one of the reasons I started getting into fragrances back in the days. I still consider myself a fan and I can't wait to test out Absolu. Aaron asked why we think this is a limited edition. Probably to justify the hefty price tag. But it could also be due to inflation and agreements with suppliers for a certain ordered ammount of raw ingredients.

I tried it and its much better than newest batches of aventus. Personally i would never pay any money for this fragrance.

Yeah, easy wear just like the original and actually better in my opinion. 2023's best 👍😁

I just bought a 2 ml decant to see what it the hype was about and yes I do like it more than the regular aventus but it's definitely not worth the $540 retail price

I was looking for these review for a long time. Great news.

"One of a kind..." sounds of acknowledgement of their problems with keeping batches consistent.

Well we don’t wear the bottle or the cap. The liquid isn’t different enough to pay the amount. It just isn’t.

Tried it today... on my skin it smells 90% like Dior Sauvage Elixir with a heavy pineapple sillage...

Great review. I love it as well

Loved your review Aaron! I think I’m going to bite the bullet and get it…

Haha standard !! But it must be a do good fragrance because he smelled his arm 8 x that we can see before the final thoughts and 10 times til the end. You think it’s worth it?😊

This has become my most complimented fragrance after a few months.

just got a decant i sprayed it on my arm and its a very nice scent but for the price i think there are better options just my opinion :)

to be fair to creed it is a very nice fragrance yes it smells like aventus but with a more amber, cleaner, more crisp smell to it i can defiantly smell the difference and i enjoy it unfortunately the price is the negative and i wont be purchasing a bottle

It’s smells so good but it’s super expensive for a 75ml. I love the Aventus cologne though I do have Club de Nuit for the Aventus type of dna edt for the Smokey birch feel

I haven't tried yet and hope to but my skeptical feeling is it is limited in order to justify the prices jacked up. By limited I do wonder how many million they made (lol). Always enjoy your perspectives.

Interesting review Aaron I’ve tried aventus twice and don’t care for it

I just want hard candy elixir in the United States please

My Aventus sample is light citrus airy. No smoke or black currant.

The "Limited Edition" is just marketing considering its bin at discounters for over a week all ready.

ive been waiting for this. i have absolu on its way.

Aaron should make a line of fixed your frags, where he fixes the problems of our favorite fragrances

This IMO is not limited at all I think it’s a marketing strategy to get people to pay such a high price for a small amount fragrance.

a 10 creed from mr. ath, never would see that coming

Aaron, i was speaking to one of the creed reps on the creed stand in fenwicks about batch variations and she reckons the time of year that different batches are made could be a reason why there is so much variation. She said due to them using natural raw materials to create the fragrances the availability and quality of certain natural ingredients can change throughout the year and thinks this could be why different batches have different qualities and why sometimes more of birch or pineapple or smokiness comes through. Would that make sense?

I bought a bottle two weeks ago and have been wearing it daily. It reminds me of the old 2011 batches with their smoky, blackcurrant, and birch aromas. I’ve received the usual compliments, which is always nice. Just like the original Aventus, it’s very easy to become anosmic to this fragrance. It smells nothing like Elixir. I must say, Creed has definitely listened to the fans and has delivered a beautiful masterpiece.

It's a good fragrance but I was waiting more from this.

I would like to see you reviewing Nishane - Nefs

I bought it. I like it. Worn once and got 2 compliments. It is a luxury product. It is limited. It is well made. I’d rather have fewer but better fragrances, than shelves full of average.

I had no idea aaron also reviews still water

With that much price I can grab a"ROJA"and "XERJOF"at the same time with gurented performance and luxer😏✌️💪💥

This is my favorite Aventus. Very balanced and great performance. Was able to get it for $150 off retail and no regrets.

If you're on below average wage and buy this you deserve to be.

been looking forward to this review from ATH

Ah interesting that our bottles smell different. What batch do you have?

If aaron gives a creed frag 10, i am getting it

Thank you Aaron.

Im considering buying this fragrence, but dor the price ia it worth it

Creed seems to be far more expensive in the UK than here in Ireland. Absolu Aventus costs €320 here (which is obviously not cheap, €320 is about £275 for you UK folk), but is roughly €60 cheaper than the UK. Similarly Creed is even cheaper in France. UK & USA seem to be screwed even more. Silly prices !

I ended up paying 402 out the door so I could justify the purchase and its uniqueness.

There’s that ethyl maltol whipping thru the base again!😅😅😅

Great video!

Everyone talks about the price but they are pretty tame in comparison to a lot from Boadicea.

My issue with aventus as a whole is they have a fragrance they can't make on a consistent basis. Not ok to have that amount of discrepancy at that price point. This particular one is nice, id agree but generally speaking I find the original and its massive variance, hugely disappointing. Love the show btw

Man ur hair grows super fast

Am I the only one who thinks this and Spicebomb Night Vision have a similar scent??? They both have a similar lingering smell but the Absolu Aventus sample I have is more smooth while Night Vision is more aggressive? I'm not a Scent or Fragrance Guru but they smell similar to me...

Tried this from john lewis today i cant stop smelling it, I think it smells lovely do you have anything like this one im so happy you liked it

It's probably only limited edition for marketing. I bet that next year, they'll make it a permanent item.

They did it limited edition as a trial fragrance. And hoped to be unique but not really

Limited since creed was sold, I have a feeling they wanted to put this out to feel out how it was going to do before they pushed it out. Just my thought.

Creed haters gonna be mad at this review and tell us how they mix armaf cndim/afnan snoi with sauvage elixir and get the same smell 😆

Can you please try Etat Libre d’Orange Hermann? It gets compared to toy boy(which i like a lot) but i dont know if i should blind buy.

Hi Aaron, Ive waited for this review.😊❤ Do you don't get the cardamom and cinnamon note?

Wish it wasn’t so much more expensive in the US than Europe. 320£ (400$) is much more reasonable than the $545+tax in the states

All my ATH bottles, the badges peel, just saying. And yes, same thought. Kept in the tubes, in ammunition boxes

I prefer this over previous Aventus variations, but too expensive for me

This is a heavier scent than the original, I get the more green notes I find it more mossy. Everything from the packaging and bottle is a massive step up by creed. I don't understand all the negative comments or the comparison to sauvage elixir. I think it is a brilliant scent and I was happy to pay the money based on it being a limited edition. Well done creed and Aaron for the honest spot on review ❤

Okay. I have no idea what allows a perfumer to call themselves a “master perfumer”. I’m sure it has everything to do with experience. Probably paying a license fee for the title. Suffering under an actual master perfumer. I don’t know if it’s a “real” thing or a title that’s bought. But I do know that I put a lot of stake in Aaron’s opinions. An acclaimed chemist (I’ve never seen your accommodations, degrees, or licensing). But I do give you your opinion and I agree with most everything you say. I know you have your preferences. And you state them all the time. I feel that you’re extremely transparent and always let us know when you think something is great, but you just don’t like it. I appreciate that. That being said. This gets a lot of hate in the community because it’s like a Sauvage copy. I HAVE NOT SMELLED IT so I have no opinion. But I have to say, I’m intrigued to give it my own opinion. Definitely wouldn’t buy a full bottle. But I might get a sample. Probably 2oz. Sure. I’m curious. Price is just stupid. So yah I won’t buy a bottle. But settling on the opinion of a perfume that is getting a lot of hate right now, and you kind of like it? I’ll check it out at some point. Thanks for your honesty!

I found this perfume SO heavy on the pepper notes that it made impossible to wear it even with just 1 spray. Cloying and headache inducing for me.

It's not limited unless the specify the exact amount that will be produced

I love it, btw 75ml not 70ml

Hot take but speaking of Sauvage Elixir to me it sorta smells like bleu de Chanel parfum 😅

Can u do a review of BULGARI Man in black (EDP)?

wow, aaron actually likes an aventus flanker? crazy times haha. now i am curious.

They want to push the price upwards 1000-2000 $ in the after market ! 😳

It's €320 in Ireland, including tax.

This is the point at which art becomes exploitation to me. Aventus on a base of Sauvage Elixir is going to be easily achievable for the Clone Houses. I remember paying sub £200 for 120ml 'Firehose' Creed Bottles. They made the atomisers worse, they reduced the amount of fragrance to 100ml, they have their batch variation problems and now they're jacking up the price and reducing the volume again? Nah... I'm jumping off that Crazy Train.
