What does Creed Aventus smell like?

Aventus is a fruity, smoky and woody fragrance from the French house Creed, released in 2010. Its published notes are bergamot, blackcurrant, apple, lemon and pink pepper on top, pineapple, patchouli and Moroccan jasmine in the heart, and birch, musk, oakmoss, cedarwood and ambroxan in the base (Aventus note list). On skin it reads as juicy pineapple over a light smoke and a clean, mossy musk. A good alternative keeps the pineapple and that musky base.

Here are five perfumes on our shelves that share part of the Aventus note list, with what they share and where they part ways. Notes follow each house's published lists.

Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man: the closest note match

Club de Nuit Intense Man shares nine notes from the Aventus list, as many as any bottle we carry: pineapple, blackcurrant, apple, bergamot, lemon, birch, jasmine, patchouli and musk. It adds rose and vanilla and has no oakmoss. Fragrance communities often name it as an Aventus alternative, and it suits you if you want the closest note match. It is an eau de toilette.

Club de Nuit Intense Man Pure Parfum: the same idea, stronger

The Pure Parfum keeps the same pineapple, birch and ambergris structure and swaps lemon for oakmoss, so it also shares nine notes with Aventus, at parfum strength in a 150 ml bottle. Choose it if you like the eau de toilette and want a stronger concentration.

Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition: cleaner and brighter

Supremacy Collector's Edition opens with pineapple, apple, bergamot and white florals, keeps birch in the heart with orange blossom, and dries down to oakmoss, musk and ambergris. It has no blackcurrant or patchouli, so it reads cleaner and more floral than Aventus.

Rasasi Hawas Black: brighter, with grapefruit

Hawas Black pairs pineapple with grapefruit and bergamot over jasmine, patchouli, oakmoss, cedarwood and amber. There is no birch smoke, so it feels fresher and more citrusy than Aventus.

Amazight by Sara Sakina: warmer and more floral

Amazight is our own perfume, so we will be clear about where it fits. It shares pineapple, apple, jasmine, cedarwood and the musky, mossy base, and it adds red berries, a heart of Turkish and Bulgarian rose with magnolia, and amber and vanilla underneath. It has no birch smoke, so it is warmer and more floral than Aventus. Choose it if you love the pineapple but want something softer. It is an extrait de parfum with our 10 to 12 hour longevity guarantee, and there is a 5 ml tester.
