Black Elixir

Everyone saying it's bad or ok is lying it's so good but the performance and scent changes after time for me when I first got it the opening was mix of citrus only lemon and earthy note at the same time the performance was good I smelled on my shirt after washing it but the notes where too simple lemon iris woods earthy note after 2-3 weeks I sprayed and wow I could tell the opening got juicer with lemons and oranges at the opening and a feeling of juicy pineapple though it's not listed in the notes and the earthy woody smell started to shine after 20-30 mins not directly at the opening but the performance started to drop a lot so because of performance dropping I'll give it a 8/10 No Vanilla smell at all

with the market filled with Aventus-inspired fragrances and alters, this one caught my attention. It has a smoother, richer scent that feels more refined. Fresh, elegant than the other 10 million creed aventus alters. if you like creed aventus like me but wants something new at the same time i would recommend frankel black for you.

Creed aventus double number 489 ... but this time it’s actually good

It was called Frankel Aventus, and it was great. I was really disappointed with this "Elixir" version. Despite the claims that only the name changed, both the scent and the performance feel noticeably different. For me, this was a downgrade rather than an upgrade. The "Elixir" label only made things worse.

I don't haven't smelt creed aventus so I can't judge based on that. However, the perfume smells good and has a familiar DNA. The initial 30 minutes to an hour smell amazing but the dry down and longevity is not there with this one ( I could be getting nose blind) I think it generally lasts about 3-4 hours but for the price and size it's pretty good. ( I got it from a bundle $60 US. with wild colt bukhoor and arrogate comete in Saudi Arabia).
