What does Aventus smell like?
Aventus has good longevity and sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, fall also fits, and winter plays a smaller part. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Most voters read it as masculine, while modern and classic readings also appear.
It opens with bergamot, lemon, apple and blackcurrant, a bright fruity start with a thread of spice from pink pepper. In the heart, patchouli, jasmine and pineapple soften the sweetness. As it dries down, cedarwood, birch and oakmoss leave a woody, smoky trail. Monkoku Royal Vento and Mazzolari Nero have a close profile.
