Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Creed Aventus is no exception.

This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Musk, Oakmoss, Ambergris and Vanilla anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Creed Aventus leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Fruity, Smoky, Woody, Fresh, making Creed Aventus a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
