Revered by Creed connoisseurs the world over, this one-of-a-kind creation now makes its eagerly awaited return.
While both fragrances echo The House of Creed’s rich legacy of creating highly original perfumes using only the finest ingredients, they each explore different textures, taking the wearer on their own sensory journeys. Read on to uncover what sets Aventus and Absolu Aventus apart to find the right masterpiece for you.
The Key Differences Between Aventus and Absolu Aventus
Fragrance Profile
A fragrance of true distinction, original Aventus is an Eau de Parfum of Millésime quality, namely a masterful creation from The House of Creed that has been hand-crafted using the finest ingredients and labour-intensive techniques - and Absolu Aventus mirrors this on account of its similarly high concentration of exquisite fragranced oils that have been weighed, mixed and macerated mostly by hand. This unwavering commitment to artisanal excellence is the key to their shared longevity, with both perfumes leaving an equally intoxicating impression that endures.
Aventus and Absolu Aventus also belong to the same woody fragrance olfactive group, each balancing the ruggedness of dry woods with the spirited energy of sparkling citrus and luscious fruits. Despite these common qualities, Aventus and Absolu Aventus have their own identity on account of their unique interplay of these ingredients.
Ingredients
Absolu Aventus is a masterful reinterpretation of Aventus, respecting the essence of this beloved classic while unchaining its boundaries in a daring exploration of new textures and depths.
Both fragrances open with a similarly bright citrus burst, yet Absolu Aventus heightens the olfactive experience with an unexpected twist of grapefruit, unleashing further zestiness and refined bitterness from the outset. It also captures the same distinctive rush of fresh pineapple found at the heart of original Aventus, but reimagines it with the introduction of Haitian vetiver. This adds a sophisticated smokiness and a dimension of intrigue to Absolu Aventus while the additions of spicy ginger, cardamom and cinnamon together linger enticingly on the skin for a more audacious dry-down.
Occasion and Wearability
As unique sensory celebrations of modern-day masculinity, both Aventus and Absolu Aventus would be fine complementary additions to any man’s perfume portfolio. Some favour the contemporary classic composition of Aventus for more of an everyday option, and then reach for Absolu Aventus to entice the senses with its unexpected layers and daring edge that pushes olfactive boundaries. Two intoxicating treasures, both Aventus fragrances have been expertly crafted for enjoyment at any moment.
