Aventus 10th Anniversary

to the reviews below that claims the 10th anniversary aventus is different from the current regular bottled aventus, you're all either lying, never owned or tried the actual 10th anniversary aventus, or was scammed into buying a fake or a watered down bottle. as for performance, I actually read this page around 10am this morning and wanted to respond to the lies posted here right away but refrained as it would be better for me to wear the perfume and monitor the performance hour by hour and then post the results here. from my wear: 10:20am = I applied a single spray on the top of my left hand and went about my day. the scent is as fruity and as woody as the current normal aventus bottles. 11:20am - 3:20pm = still smells and projects exactly like it did when I first sprayed it. 4:20pm - 6:20pm = still smells the same. the sillage and projection reduced to around an arms length, it still smells the same. anyone seated next to you can tell its aventus given they are familiar with the scent. 7:20pm = still smells the same. it starts to become a skin scent. I could still catch whiffs of it whenever there's a light draft. 8:20pm = still smells the same. now its actual skin scent. I don't smell it in the air anymore. I have to put my hand close to my nose to smell it. 8:45pm = the smell starts to change. you can still tell its aventus but the ratio will be more towards the basenotes and lesser of the mids but the fruits is still very much present 9:00pm-9:20 = the scent becomes fainter, projection is about an inch off the skin its 9:25pm now, i'm about to take a shower, its been over 11hours and the scent has not disappear nor has it fallen apart. it still smells like aventus. Advice to anyone interested in the 10th anniversary bottle or any aventus: 1. Do not take the risk buying a bottle from ebay. 2. Do not take the risk of buying an unwrapped bottle from any website 3. Do not take the risk of buying a bottle from lesser known websites / shops 4. Either purchase one direct from Creed or New/Wrapped from any well established websites. Aventus is a stupidly popular fragrance that's known to have people rushing to buy them for less, this exposes the buyer to all sorts of scams by freaks online. anyone can buy a full bottle of aventus + an empty aventus bottle and packaging, decant half the bottle into the empty one, dilute them and sell them off as slightly used. anyone can sell fake bottles on ebay. imagine now the innocent buyer who unfortunately purchased these scams. they will get a bad impression of aventus, and what happens next? either give it away or try and resell it off to another innocent buyer that will also inherit the bad impression, rinse repeat... same thing for unwrapped bottles from some discounters, whose to say the previous buyer who returned it did not decant a good amount of the juice and then dilute it before returning it for a refund? good luck!

I personally notice the ambroxan is increased also more lemon than bergamot. The fruit mix has more of an Aventus Cologne twist to it than the original. (Could it be the orange). A better dry down than original Aventus with an incredibly smooth leather and smokiness. Also better performance and longevity. Closer to vintage batches but not quite there.

Just acquired a NOS bottle and was tickled to find countless "reviews" proclaiming that this is anything other than Aventus in a limited edition package. The original listing is still up on creedboutique and easy to find through Google.

I am now the Proud owner of the Anniversary edition bottle. The question everyone wants to know, is it different from the original? The answer is....... No. I’d say it’s 98% the same. The other 2% could just be a batch thing more than a difference in composition. I don’t get any of the new notes listed, although it is very fruity compared to my other batch from earlier this year. So maybe the melon and additional notes have added to that. I’d say it’s woodier also. But we are talking minuscule differences here. I’m really searching for the different nuances. Like a previous post said, if you love Aventus you will love it, if you hate it you will hate it. It’s as simple as that really. The longevity also seems to be a bit better than my previous batch. But again, we are talking little differences. I’m just happy to add this to my collection and to use it very sparingly. The bottle also doesn’t look as bad as the promo pictures. I’m happy with it.

Fragrance 9.5/10 Longevity 7/10 Price 4.5/10 It has a much fruitier opening than the original Aventus. What's not to love here, you got more notes for the same price plus the "limited badge". I am not a professional neither do I have a nose of one, I am sure that I can't be more knowledgeable than Erwin and Olivier Creed. What I know for fact, the Creed family knows their trade so I highly doubt they would release a limited edition of Aventus that doesn't smell like the original Aventus. I will only say there are hundreds of fragrances that don't last as long as when it first came out all because of the latest IFRA reformulations, I bet Aventus got under that rule as well. So for those that remember how good was Aventus in 2010 I lower my hat! To me, it smells the same as any post-2015 batches of Aventus +++ plus fruitier 10 min opening due to the larger number of notes added. I LOVE IT!

I love this. I love Aventus. This is Aventus. THIS IS NOT A DIFFERENT FRAGRANCE. To be more precise, i literally asked at creed and they said it's a normal 2020 batch of Aventus in a collectors bottle. Can we all stop with the pretentious talk now please ? I know that batch variety is a thing with Aventus and even Creed in general but some of what you guys type here is straight up ridiculous. How can so many people cry about current Aventus batches (btw i agree that they are worse now) but at the same time praise this 10th anniversary when it's literally just a different bottle ? lmao Edit: BTW i literally own this and another 2020 batch of regular Aventus and they smell 100% the same.

I love it!!! Must say one of my favorite batches of aventus. Bit fruity in the opening like in the 2019 batch but I got a little bit better Performance. The dry down is typical aventus.. just loveable. I think it was worth the purchase and makes a good collector Item. I get about 9 hour of performance with like 1.5-2 hours Sillage. The performance is okay but i guess it will get better over the next few months due to maceration. I would recommend it. A good batch of Aventus that will rise in Price because of the limitation. Gotta keep in mind that creed got sold to he Spanish businessman and chairman of Diageo. Maybe reformulations in future... so it could be a great investment.

After wearing a handful of times.. I'm noticing much more vanilla than any other iterations of Aventus or batches. Needless to say it's one of the best quality vanillas I've ever smelled. Also the fruity opening is less fuzzy than any newer batches I've smelled. I definitely pick up an apple melon combination with other citrus 🍋🍊 that gives me a bit of an Eros vibe just a million times better. Cheers.

Just bought a bottle and it is the same juice as the regular Aventus. Might be an investment for the future due to the limited nature. If you love Aventus, you'll love this. If you hate Aventus, you'll hate this. I think that's the only thing we can agree on.

The notes listed here on Fragrantica are verbatim from the noseparis website. The note list there was there even before reformulation. Please don't think this is going to be any different then any other 20 batch.

This is going to be a grail batch in the future. Love the smoky birch! As Perfumeboy22 said, this opens up more citrusy and less pineapple than regular Aventus. Then the smoke kicks in, amazing.

Adds a hint of playfulness to normal Aventus. But still not so different???? Feels like just a collector bottle than a different fragrance.

Aventus but the pineapple and other fruit notes are amped up a little.

Complimented after 12 hours with only two sprays.

Anyone telling you this 10th anniversary edition is the same as any other Aventus makes me wonder if they actually smelled both(if not any) before posting their review. So far I own(or have owned) 17V01, 19Y11N, 20A01N, 20C01N(10th annivesary edition) and tried many other 2018-2020 batches in perfumeries. The differences between the 10th anniversary edition and regular Aventus are noticeable from the moment you spray it on yourself. Upon spraying, I sometimes(can only detect it once out of ~5 wears) detect a smell strongly resembling melon, it's only perceptible in the first 2 minutes. The next ~40 minutes that follow are truly marvelous, juicy pineapple combined with an unknown citrus and a smokier vibe than any other batch I've tried so far. After the initial stage of euphoria, some notes start unveiling, the pink pepper(which contributes to the smoky vibe) and an extremely natural smelling orange. The pineapple gradually loses strength and is eventually overpowered by the orange. This middle stage lasts 2-3 hours. As someone mentioned in another review, it does remind one of Aventus Cologne. I believe the pink pepper note used here is the same as the one used in AC, and the orange here does remind you a bit of the mandarin in AC, though the latter feels lighter, airier. The far drydown is the most disappointing stage, to me at least. There's no sweetness at all, all I can pick up is the remnants of the orange and a smoky vibe which kind of reminds of the smoke in CDNIM, without all the chemical/synthetic/sharp qualities. I also don't pick up any woodiness at all, it's just dry smoke with some leftover orange... Performance on my skin is decent, 2-3 hours of decent projection and a longevity of ~10 hours. Smell wise I much prefer traditional Aventus to this 10th anniversary edition, mainly due to the lack of pineapple after the initial stage and the lack of sweetness in the drydown in the 10th anniversary one.

I have Aventus (batch 2020) and the 20th anniversary Aventus (black holo bottle). I cannot detect the ingredients listed on here but there is a difference to regular Aventus. It’s citrusy in the opening similar to Aventus cologne but right after that it becomes a smoky scent, much more smoky than Aventus which opens pineapple. Unfortunately the smokiness doesn’t translate to better performance. I still get an hour or two more from Aventus. It’s a shame because I really like the fact that this one smells smokier, and think of it as if it was another flanker of Aventus in a way. If I had to choose one I prefer Aventus because it has better performance and longevity. Stick with the original.

I've got a January 2020 aventus and code on my bottle of this is February 2020 and they're different. Not massively and only noticeable when comparing side by side. I only bought this version as it was cheaper than a new standard aventus. I needed a new bottle otherwise I wouldn't have bothered and definitely not worth overpaying for unless to complete a collection or as an investment. My son has an aventus from last year and that smells more like my normal aventus and my son doesn't like this version. Skanky as he said

Sadly it's just like regular Aventus. I've compared it with the different batches of regular Aventus in my collection and it's totally similar to 2014 version of the og. There's a bit more smokiness in it and the pineapple note feels less pronounced. The hype was created just for the bottle, as totally black bottles are rare in creed collections. It gets a score of 8/10 from me.

If you're purchasing this 10th anniversary and thinking its exactly like original Creed Aventus "black", and it has huge projection/sillage with 8 hours + longevity you will be highly dissappointed. This is a similar scent, about 40%-50% similar to original Creed Aventus but this is a very light scent comparatively. It's projection is very soft and only lasts 2 hours with 4-6 sprays on your skin. If you're buying this from Russia, China or Singapore on Ebay or Amazon, well you're probably going to get even worse performance. Scent: 6.5 Sillage/Projection: 5 Longevity: 5 Unique/Industry First: 4 Quality: 5 Overall this is a decent scent but its honestly not worth more than $30 - $35 bucks anywhere. If you paid more than that for this, buyers remorse will hit pretty hard..... This may be 10th anniversary Creed Aventus, but this is about a 5 out of 10 rating when original Creed Aventus is a 10 out of 10. This 10th anniversary version reminds me more of Aventus Cologne than it does Original Creed Aventus.

I find it hilarious how many people think this is different to normal Aventus. It's Aventus in a different bottle. That's it. Creed himself said it, it's just a limited edition bottle with the same juice. All this "it's more fruity, smokier, less vanilla" nonsense etc no, no it isn't, that's you trying to find a pretentious difference where there is none. Reminds me of those wine snobs that people have fooled into waxing lyrical over a £5 house wine because someone has put it into a £4,000 vintage bottle. I bought this as an investment. It'll pay off. Especially in 5-10 years time when sausages are saying it's some grail batch because it's in a nicer bottle. CDNIM still smells better than this as its closer to the original 2010 Aventus than Aventus is itself. Much like Sillage and Milestone are closer to the old formula Creed's than the originals are. You're all being fooled, and it's funny.
