Smell This | CREED Aventus

As every man knows, or should know, you’ve got to have a few go-to fra­grances for all sorts of occa­sions.  The first date fra­grance, the busi­ness lunch, the happy hour, the day-to-day…the list goes on.  When I caught a whiff of the new CREED fra­grance, aptly named Aven­tus (an archaic word mean­ing suc­cess), I had to add it to my cologne cabinet.

All the top notes are fruits; black­cur­rant, berg­amot, Calville Blanc apples, Royal pineapple…whatever that means. How­ever, it doesn’t give off a sum­mery, day­time scent.  Its def­i­nitely going into my smell like a king and get laid, ehh, have a great evening out reper­toire. Base note is oak moss, amber­gris, and Gour­mand vanilla.  Oak is one of the most mas­cu­line base notes you can have in a scent — always gets my approval.

Its exclu­sively at Neiman Mar­cus in stores & online, and, of course, the CREED bou­tique on Madi­son.  So go and grab a sam­ple, wear it around — you will…I repeat…YOU WILL fall for it.  Mark. My. Word.

In Novem­ber it’ll go national at Saks, select Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s, Von Maur, and Halls…but why wait, really?
