What Fragrance Did You Use Today?

Look at @GearNoir coming up in the world, all Creed Aventus now :)

Did you like it? I always feel like a party boy when I use any kind of pineapple scent, but haven't ever smelled the good stuff.

The Cologne version of Creed Aventus is supposed to be a bit more of a lighter/subdued version of the regular Aventus. I like it! Never used the regular before as of yet.

The pineapple scent is only really one of the upfront notes, it dries down into a more mature smoky scent within an hour I’d say. No wear near the party boy pants that PR 1 Million wears :ROFLMAO:

Hows that one Kirk? Isn’t it supposed to be along the lines of a barbershop/Rive Gauche?

It's supposed to be similar to Aventus.

It's been a while since. I've sampled Aventus. But I remembered liking it a lot. Just couldn't afford the department store price and kind of forgot about it.

I'd say that it's ok. Not quite as natural as creed Aventus is. But it's ok for a $25 frag. Couldn't really smell it on me 3hrs later.

Think I need to try it out a few more times to get a better opinion of it.

I don't know if either of you have tried Floid Black, it's as strong as a perfume, lasts a long time and is supposed to be an Aventus clone. I don't wear it often, just for festive occasions, but for the price it's worth a shot.

I have it on my radar. Plan to get an Aventus type shave soap and aftershave to pair with the Insurection II.

Seems like there a lot of choices out there right now for that.

I’d also seen it! Have you tried Fine Platinum? Any comparison?

How do you like this scent in EDT? I've used it for shave soap, aftershave balm, bath soap and shampoo bar but the scent is always pretty mild. Been tempted by the EDT but not sure how I'd like it with that much strength. Just added a sample of it to my next Stirling order.

Personally I love. Not much projection but great staying power. Especially if you spray some on your clothes.
