Fragrance Review by Antonio

Creed Aventus

• Pros: Beautiful fragrance, highly praised initially.
• Cons:
  • Longevity/Projection: Only lasts about 5 hours, projection not strong after initial hours.
  • Price: Very expensive (over $400 retail for 100ml).
  • Presentation: Not great for the price (plastic lid, cardboard box).
• Comparison to Clones: Many clones offer better longevity and projection at a fraction of the price.
• Rating: Not in top category; suggested reformulation for better longevity/projection.
