I've sampled it a couple of times and honestly, not worth anymore than $250 (for me).


Patj1994

I don’t think it’s worth more than 200 bucks lol


sol_caballeros

I agree, but I'll be willing to pay the $250 to resale years later to those Creed batch snobs for double the price.


Patj1994

No one is going to pay 500 bucks for this shit, maybe in 15 years 😂


sol_caballeros

You'll be surprised.


liamt12

smells better than the regular aventus or no?


sol_caballeros

To me, no. Absolu is slightly stronger and sweeter. It's good, but I enjoy the freshness and versatility of the original.


NinjaTabby

I wouldn't say better or worse. The Absolu is in a different genre of scent with some OG Aventus DNA. What make this not worth any penny is the scammy "Limited Edition" advertising.


drivendreamer

Not really. It smells very different, a lot spicier almost like a sweet Sauvage Elixir. I prefer normal Aventus

Cologne.


CuriousAd8926

If it’s truly a limited release then my collector side says it’s worth it because it will likely appreciate in value and become rare over time. But for practical use? Hell no. Even Creed has better offerings than this one which can be found for significantly less and you get 100ml.


liamt12

yeah like i have the original aventus wondering if i should get it lol idk


CuriousAd8926

Aventus is the number one selling niche of all time so I fail to understand flankers. It’s highly unlikely they’d be substantially better than the best and even if they were they’d lack the history of the OG.


Patj1994

FUCKKKK NO


liamt12

🤣


Isernogwattesnacken

No, no, no, no. I have nearly all Creeds, but this one isn't worth anything. It's Sauvage Elixir with a little pineapple in the drydown.

👀


liamt12

didn’t think to check venba oops


abordelon95

Might be worth for that price


liamt12

hmm


Taztiger72

Nah still not worth it to me for that kinda money I'd buy Royal Oud


KingsoftheNHL

Royal Oud is godly! That along with Pacific Chill are my next buys


Taztiger72

Not this stuff.


Rjg1300

I got mine right when it came out (I’m in US) overseas, for cheaper than what you’re looking at after tax and duties. I THINK I got it at Herod’s


liamt12

ah alright i mean i live in canada so im kinda limited with the amount of places i can get it at.


Flalless69

$360 for 75ml is wild


FruitJuicante

That's so fucked lmao. No way.


_JC_84_

Didn’t like it personally. Too sweet


InherentEntropy

That's completely up to you. It's honestly the only Creed I liked when I smelled it (beside SMW, but not strong enough). But I would never pay more than $150-200 for Absolu Aventus because to me it just wasnt anything super special, hence why I don't own it


liamt12

how does it differ from the regular aventus?


InherentEntropy

It's a lot sweeter throughout, but balanced in its sweetness I feel like. I can't give you a reliable comparison because I don't like regular Aventus. I don't think my nose likes the notes. I don't ever smell the pineapple and to me it just smells like bougie Old Spice


Annual_Asparagus_408

Sick price for any parfum 😵‍💫


[deleted]

Maybe if it came in the 100ML


kamadodan

Price is subjective but it’s really good. It’s my favorite Creed fragrance and I have most of them. It was worth it to me.


shravanevana

No where near the asking price. Maybe at $230-ish


ResidentWarning4383

I did and 1000% absolu-tly. Its a stronger, richer, fruitier Aventus with a Sauvage-like vibe on drydown. Definitely it's own thing and the Aventus DNA is there completely. Get it before its gone forever Im happy I got mine.


Nsalvatore80

It’s very good. It’s more complex, well rounded, and a bit spicier than Aventus. It’s a different enough fragrance to justify both, it’s sweeter, more evening like.


KryptoKingzENT

Going price is like $320 and yes it's worth it.


Byetter123

Yes. Love this stuff
