Hi friends, there are a few comments now saying the bottles of Aventus are fake. I specifically bought them from Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges to avoid fake bottles.

Aaron, you've rapidly become one of my favorite perfume reviewers on KZread. Love this series! Also, if you want to send any of the Aventus batches you don't like to a good home, I'll happily adopt them 😉.

Nishane is one of rare fragrance houses today, that creates strong fragrances, with gorgeous silage and projection. Some of their gems are Sultan Vetiver, Patchouli Kozha, Monegu, Africa Olifant, Musiqa Oud, Vjola, Sued et safran, Spice Bazar..... a signature fragrances. Purchasing Creed today is a robbery, fragrances that are gone in 1-3 hours are not worth a purchase at that price point, altho they where and felt luxurious few decades ago.

I don't think one can even say Creed is a niche fragrance any longer.

I love your honest brutality when you review. You’re the best, Aaron! 🥂

Maaaaaannnn YOU'RE LOOKING GREAT!!!! Beard, hair, clothing, and jewelry are coordinated, identify perfectly with your style, and you are KILLING IT. Looking fantastic Aaron and thank you for the review!

I really love this new style of video. It seems the more you discuss the chemistry of fragrance, the more engaged I am with the content👌

Thanks a lot for this review. This is sooo much better than the traditional "10 unique frag" or " 10 sexy frag" and so on. There is real content in you reviews and every time I can learn something (i.e. what a product is used for in a formula) which is top! At the end, I have the feeling I did not waste my time. Quality of content that s what you have on this channel. The comparison of Aventus batches was interesting to watch. Thanks a lot Aaron. Keep going!

I love that you reviewed Hacivat! Very misunderstood frag! Also my jaw dropped when I saw you’re going into batch variation with Aventus! Somebody’s been spending his nights in the fragcom!

Aaron thank you SO much for taking the time to do this! I have been waiting for something detailed and in-depth like this for years. This was exemplary; thank you.

Yet another outstanding review and great comparison! Great job, Aaron!

Thanks for another amazing video. Your fragrance breakdowns are incredibly informative and entertaining. Awesome video!

The way your shirt logo fits perfectly inside your necklace is genius.

Very explanatory and detailed review Aaron, very well done! I seriously think Aventus is way too overpriced for what it is and the huge inconsistency is unacceptable from batch to batch. On the opponent side, Nishane has done an exquisite job with Hacivat. Extremely good quality and high consistency.

Dear ATH, this review format and the review itself is the best you have made so far, for me at least. Thanks for the good work !

I have both and absolutely love both. My Aventus is a 2019 batch and is very smoky and dark in the dry down. The Nishane edges it for me though; it’s joyful to wear and smell all day.

I'm so happy you reviewed Hacivat and the Aventus comparison was very good. I never found them even remotely similar and I'm glad you confirm this. Something I was wondering, does Hacivat contain a lot of naturals?

I adore Hacivat, as I’ve told you before. Glad to see this video Aaron!

Excellent review Aaron!... Love the scientific breakdown of the chemicals involved and your knowledge of the perfumes. You are right, they are similar but different. If I had to choose it will be Hacivat, as I wear this already. The price, performance, projection, packaging is all worth the price in comparison to Aventus!.... at one stage I really wanted to buy this, but is over priced and performance is poor. However, the smell is refined, smooth and favorable. It is a great shame, so many colleagues and friends have bought this and regret it once they smelt Hacivat on me!.... All have been motivated to go and buy Hacivat as you smell awesome, heavy and powerful. You are correct all the Creed Aventus batches smell different and performance level has become poor by the batch. What is going on? They really need to have a look at this. I would like to have a bottle but it currently is getting negative reviews from colleagues, friends and others which has put me off this perfume plus its price and performance is ridiculous. One can get other alternatives and clones for cheaper and still smell great!... such a shame from a much hyped perfume when it came out first, but I found Hacivat to be better and stronger!

I've never tried Knee-shah-nay Ha-chi-vaht (^_^), but I hear great things about it. I'm actually quite glad you say it's very different from Aventus. What I dislike most about Aventus is the Birch note which I believe gives it the 'smokiness'. I'll get a sample of Hacivat. Thanks.

Good evening Aaron, enjoyed your thoughts on these two, be safe and BLESSED

Very informative video, Aaron. I had a bottle of Aventus. It was nice, but not that fantastic. Sold it and recovered most of my money. Picked up a bottle of the Naraf Club de Nuit and while I know you don't care for it, it does smell exactly like Aventus and for a 1/10 of the price, I will keep it. Keep up the good work.

I wish Creed would step out of their comfort zone of releasing classic gentleman style fragrances and do something really dark, sweet, resinous. Unfortunately their newest release is just a “cologne” flanker of Viking so they’re clearly content to rest on their laurels.

FYI Creed has been bought by BlackRock, and are now more interested in being a commercial brand.

Amazing video yet again! Ive already recently purchased Nishane Hacviat, and I’ve noticed it’s not as crazy strong as Hyped, maybe I turn nose blind to it very quickly, or there is a chance it a bad batch either way I do enjoy it. Keep up the great work, loving the videos! 👍🏽

Thank you! 🙏 I could never understand how people compare the two. But I never say anything to avoid unnecessary conflict lol. Hacivat is a very dry, dense, patchouli bomb on me with some oak moss adding to the earthy ness, and I definitely smell the lemon and orange, in fact that’s the color that comes to mind. Smells very Middle Eastern, and like a head shop. Yes, very base heavy, like straight oil lol Aventus is very light and airy, ozonic, woodsy, salty with nuances of leather and a very strong musk with pepper and juniper berry adding to the dryness. Slight smokiness and a tart sweetness. Very westernized. The two are completely different imo as well.

Nice and very informative video as always mr aaron, one question tho if its not too much to ask for could you write down the whole LOT number on these so we know what year they are from?

I had the same feeling with Hacivat. I can’t explain how it is compared with Aventus. I mean i smelled some similar notes maybe but it’s a totally different fragrance. Almost thought i had a fake or something like that. Thanks for your thoughts Aaron!

Hey, as far as I know in 2014 Aventus was priced at about 120-150 pounds. The price of Aventus skyrocketed in the last few years, as it was the case with other Creeds. I think George the Fragrance Apprentice also have said that in his Creed related videos.

Great and on point comparison maestro unicorno 👌I was also wondering why people linking pineapple notes instantly with Aventus, or saffron with baccarat rouge :D It's like these notes are patented to those two fragrances 🤣

Great stuff Aaron really enjoyed that in depth review. Your dedication to detail is refreshing. If you ever want to donate that Hactivat il gladly take it 😂

This is great review. I hope you will do more on Guerlain, Hermès and Amouage. Which are your favorite from Hermès and Amouage. Especially I would like to know which ones you like from house of Amouage.

Well wouldn't you know it video unicorn was right, I was looking forward to this video especially because last week I tried Hacivat for the first time and I did not like the opening it was too much of pineapple-like overripe pineapple but I like the dry down because it turned creamy and pineapple was toned down a lot

Thank you Aaron. You are very detailed, and that's impressive!

Would you be able to tell me which one is best for me from your range. I adore Perfumes de Marly Pegasus and Amouage Reflections. I know they are two different fragrances but what would you suggest between these two. Thanks 🙂

Great review have you yet reviewed creed viking? I'd be interested in what you make of that, the original creed viking I'm curious about apparently has an old school feel to it so a lot of people have said

Aaron, great as always, would you consider reviewing YSL lhomme ultime, and Mercedes Benz club black those are really good and i would love to know your wise opinion. Thanks for all the amazing info and the passion you spread with your work.

I really enjoyed your comparison of these two. Hacivat is marketed as a "unisex" fragrance - could a woman pull this scent off well in your opinion?

Finally the creed review also Aaron there’s many more fragrances that smell like it it’s like they took aventus and made there own version , they have done the same with Paco Ranbane invictus

I would love to know what you think of tiziana terenzi line, specifically orion and spirito fiorentino, 2 of my favorites. People always try to say orion is like aventus, and I don't think it is at all. Very much it's own thing.

just bought this the other day with nishane ani, im glad you think its nothing like aventus as i too think there completely different. i also agree its monsterous! one spray lasted over 12 hours on my skin. Be good if you reviewed ani, its fantastic and i like it way more than havicat. It has a green note though....

?..Do you always smell a scent and get the apinion from a skin and emediatly after spraying?

So if I'm going to drop half a weeks wage on a perfume here in Australia, which should I take, Aventus, Hacivat or ?

Hello my frag brother, I got to say out of all of the videos I have seen out of these 2 fragrances on KZread this is the best today. In fact,we don't need anymore previews on these 2 frags lol. I would have said myself that hacivat is alot different than aventus,but I am a small channel right now and nobody in frag com would have heard me,but I digress bro you killed it thanks for saying something I have been thinking for a long time much love King and much success peace Russell R Mack of Solomon's Vineyard

hacivat is one of the longest lasting I have ever owned. It stays and lets you know it is still there

What a great comparison video. Me personally i love my Aventus and I always have someone asking what I'm wearing. I can understand your point of view as a perfumer the inconsistentcy of batches and every company making ambroxan variations and clones that diminish the Aventus phenomenon to make it a tiresome cliché.

Just out of curiosity how do you tell if it is legally safe what do you look out for on the box... Ps I totally agree with your assessment of hacivat 💯

You nailed your overall assessment. I sampled both before I bought them thankfully. I personally thought Aventus smelled awful and I swear, I did not receive one compliment. Hacivat on the other hand is a monster. Smells amazing and will fill up a room. I absolutely smelled it the next morning and got compliments from men and women alike. Unfortunately I think the lazy comparison comes from both of them having pineapple. They really are nothing alike.

Eh, the Creed aventus-batch saga is a dang shame. I fell in love with the aventus back in '14/15, when first getting a sample and then a full bottle. Got a newer batch about a year ago, and frankly, it's so disappointing. It smells "kind of" the same, but the balance between notes is WAY off, the richness is gone, and the depth has suffered as well.

I don't know if I got a dud sample but all I can smell is lemon with Nishane Hacivat. I'm not game enough to buy aventus

Hello, friend in my head. YESSSS!!... I thought the same about them Smelling nothing a like. I get the similarities, but totally different... love your reviews! 😁😁😉

Presumably for there to be such big batch differences either the materials going in have to be very different - or the ratios do? I am assuming that the conditions they are added in don't make a large difference - but of course I could be wrong about that? One would think that the raw materials (particularly as many of them must be aroma-chemicals still, rather than natural extracts - which would vary more, but still surely not that much?) wouldn't change so much - so does it not suggest they are playing with the formula - either perhaps as a way of making it better, or as a cynical commercial ploy to get people to talk about it & pay outrageous sums for other batches (or would you say I am being too cynical?). I am intrigued by the length fragrances last on people's skins. I've noticed on my own pale skin - nearly all fragrances, cheap or less so last for a long time, but do not project. I've had clone fragrances that lasted nearly a week on my skin, even though I was showering daily (admittedly they were a skin scent long before the end). Do you think that there is much variation in how long different molecules will last on different skins - as in some will last long on mine, but not on yours and vice versa - or is the main difference say my skin vs others? Fascinating video - the first bit of course as good as yours always are, but the latter aspect, and the comparisons in general really did add a new level, and some education. Alas I never have samples of the fragrances you are trying, but I do tend to be inspired by your videos to smell any bottles of essential oils I have to hand, just trying to smell what different things smell like. Today was sandalwood oil (Santalum Album - very different in smell from my other sandalwood oil, which I think is Amyris Balsamifera). Definitely keep making videos!
