What does Absolu Aventus smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Spring and autumn lead slightly, but the seasons are close, and votes spread across leisure, evening, daily and business wear rather than settling on one setting. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, with modern the next most common character.

It opens with the fresh citrus of grapefruit, bergamot and lemon, sharpened by ginger. In the heart, pineapple and cinnamon add sweetness while pink pepper and cardamom deepen the spice. The base of cashmere wood, oakmoss and vetiver gives a woody, slightly smoky footing, softened by musk and ambroxan. Creed Aventus has a close profile.
