I made a purchase at Fragranceshop today, being a fan of Aventus, I also ordered a small sampler of Windsor and Silver mountain water.

Thanks Snoop, hopefully they really are identical and lasts long.

I went into Holf Refrew last night and sprayed 1 spray of aventus on my hand.. My SO loved the smell.. She said it was the best selling cologne I've ever worn and could understand why its $500+

But that's all subjective to me.. I was looking for tangible results.. I passed by this one girl at the BAY shopping outlet and as I past her she closed her eyes and went all dreamy like she is in heaven.

That was the only tangible experience I got out of it.. No one else wherever I went, complimented me on the scent.

Would I blow $500 on it?

I ponder this.. Just think how many mones I could buy!

haha, If you have the money, its one of the best. I buy the samples so I can buy pheromones.

Bought CREED AVENTUS today! Already noticed many looks without smiles. Mostly from women 25 and up.

Unfortunately as a cologne that's about as much as you'll get to work with

Can't wait to cover some amazing mone formulas with it for more practical uses

How much cologne do you use in a single application?

Aventus is very strong, I always put the windows down when I drive to places so I don't risk overdose.

2 sprays to neck is enough

Thanks. I believe my sample is coming in a 5 ml sprayer. Not sure how much one spray produces. Fortunately cologne amounts are easy for me to gauge.

I'd suggest getting a 5ml travel atomizer. I use one by travalo, you can get it on Amazon for about 10 bucks. Works quite well. Two sprays from that lasts me most of the day and it helps spread out your usage so you don't go through your supply quickly. I find that the Creed spray nozzles are a bit too liberal in their application.

My 5ml came in a spray atomizer. Smelling the end of the bottle, I detected the pineapple and apple notes everyone speaks of. I applied just a single spray; it is a wonderful cologne. Interesting yet familiar. The pineapple and apple notes are not nearly as detectable once it is on my skin. I'll have to track down more samples and use them sparingly.

Stay away from those discount cologne sellers, you get what you pay for. I thought it was all bullshit, the warnings that Creed put out but I once had two bottles of original Santal and bois du Portugal. Needed to verify if they were legit since I was selling them, so I took it to the local Creed boutique. The woman took two sniffs of both and automatically rejected them as fakes or very old stock. Luckily, Creed stands by their products (even if they are overpriced), she offered me full store credit on both bottles (that's how I got GIT and MI). So yea, go with the samples, TFS's copy or save up and get the legit stuff.

As for longevity, I can usually get about 8 hours out of it where it still projects and I'm in the Mid Atlantic region, so that's during winter time. Summetime, 6 hours solid unless it's as hot and humid as Satan's asscrack. Ladies love it, very smooth. Younger guys can pull it off but I think it works well with late 20's on upward. Works really well if you're in your 30s.

Do you think Creed covers certain mones better than others? If so WHICH mones? Or would you only wear it moneless?

How do you feel its covers L&S of AM? Unfortunately my AM is not unscented so I either use its L&S, One Million covering L&S etc... But I have creed aventus now and wonder if its a better cover for my L&S AM. Do you think it will sync with the Am vibe?

I *KNOW* creed aventus covers Primitive VERY nicely.. But P is not really a great multiuse formula (Mostly just for banging).
