Aventus was birthed in 2010 by perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault and Erwin Creed, the scion of the founding family. The dawn of a brave new era of scent history weaving the old with the new. The Latin words of the name of the perfume — suggesting gravity and reliability—of course, do not contradict themselves, but, like the facets of the image of the ancient deity or excellency, give it depth and light.

A powerful yet sophisticated design to match the scent it carries.

In draws you in and sets the stage—a lively mix, like a dawn full of promise and the potential for renewal.
The heart is a meaty yet delicate cluster that Aventus flaunts. Birch and patchouli give a woody tone to floral notes of rose and jasmine, with a touch of a fine cyclamen and hedione. Neroli and melon bring an electric, sparkling effect to this heart, while Arsenal is still the central pillar around which the composition revolves.
Aventus Wood
In terms of true depth and sophistication, it is in the base that Aventus reveals the woodiness. The base of moss, musk, and vanilla wrap you up like a cozy sweater, and ambergris and ambrox sound almost transparent up top. This is not all sweet though; cedar and leather give it an irreversible smartness, anchoring the fragrance into unadulterated man land.
