Me personally I’m excited about D&G The One Parfum I’ll definitely be picking up a few bottles https://youtu.be/nca55y_5OQ8?si=qydSLs--m5gNHUka

Hi guys, I am in Europe and just received a 100 ml bottle of Creed Aventus from online discounter Notino.pl for $278. Apparently they’re present in many European countries. I am wondering if I got the real thing. Batch number is F003857 and I can’t find it on websites like checkfresh.com - says it is invalid data. I sent a message to Creed and awaiting response but perhaps someone here is able to help verify? I am attaching pictures below.

my jaw dropped today when i learned two hours ago, that Prada just acquired Versace. what’s your guys opinion on this? do you think it’s for good or for bad? any changes at all? and if so, what changes do you think will be made?

Versatile, masculine, and modern. I would say this is a scent that I can use in most occasions. Clean and modern enough for office wear, sweet and masculine enough for dates. While the opening is quite harsh with the spiciness of ginger, the dry down is amazing with sage and the hint of cedar and tonka beans, which are clean and masculine. Moreover, it performs pretty well on my skin, staying for nearly 8 hours, and projects within arm length for the first 4 hours.

Remember a bit of hype surrounding this one when it came out earlier this year. To be honest it never really garnered much attention from me. Created by Marie Salamagne, Bruno Jovanovic and Nicolas Bonneville, it's a woody amber number, although nice, it does nothing to wow me or justify the price tag. Even now, it still sells for €135 for a 100ml. The opening is a unique clash of deep, warm ambery woods and a powerful clean, citrusy freshness. It's somewhat familiar, like I have something in my collection that has a similar profile. They seem to be pushing the, everything back to front vibe with a quote, inverted olfactive architecture, meaning the heavy, warm base notes are designed to be immediately present, tracing a path from depth to light. Base notes include Ambery Woods Accord, Peru Balsam, Benzoin Resin & Guaiac Wood. What you get is depth with a resinous, balsamic warmt. At its heart, Bourbon Geranium & Floral Rosy Facets which lead to a clean, bright, and slightly aromatic green floral core. The top notes are Calabrian Bergamot and airy musks.sharp and clean, with a fusing burst of citrus freshness. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm getting YSL Myslf or Polo 67 vibes here? Performance is not so bad, I'm getting 5hrs before it starts drifting away and it projects strongly forthe first hour, creating a noticeablescent bubble. Yes it's good, but it ain't nothing new, a lot of unwarranted hype IMO, wrapped in a fancy nonsensical story. A hard pass for me I'm afraid. There is a lot better out there. My Rating: 5/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 1 Y/N: 0
