Our Creation of D&G's The One For Men

An incredible offering from the House of Creed. Beautifully peppery and citrusy without any piercing synthetic smell. The birch and tonka bean in the base keep it smooth and sweet throughout the day. Projection is about the same, maybe marginally worse than Aventus- though the increased longevity makes up for it. This is one of the few fragrances from Creed that actually justifies the price tag. 9.5/10! Note that this fragrance smells very hollow and neutered on paper- it must be tested and worn on skin.

Aventus Cologne, a great fragrance and a fresher take on the regular Aventus. It carries the same DNA with the beautiful soft birch and the patchouli. I like this more than traditional Aventus because of the citrus notes and the fresher opening. The longevity is a problem and this is problem is prevalent in majority of the Creed fragrances. I think if this fragrance could last two hours longer on the skin it would be a masterpiece. Sadly, this isn't the case. I love the fragrance despite this but maybe one day, Creed reformulates and actually makes their fragrances last longer than a lunch out with friends.

I've heard so much about the House of Creed, but have never tried any of their fragrances. Maybe this one will be my first!

If you want a nice, niche version of Chanel's Allure Homme Sport with less performance and without Allure Homme Sport's creamy quality, Aventus cologne might be for you.

I've been looking for a new fragrance to try, and this review has definitely convinced me to give this one a shot!
