Top Notes (Initial Impression): The opening of Creed Aventus is fresh and fruity with blackcurrant and Italian bergamot. The blackcurrant provides a modern twist and adds a zesty, almost gourmand touch, while the Italian bergamot is bright and uplifting, setting the stage for richer notes to follow. Middle Notes (Heart of the Fragrance): The heart of Aventus features rose, dry birch, jasmine, and patchouli. The rose and jasmine contribute a floral elegance to the scent, while the dry birch introduces a woody and slightly smoky element. The patchouli adds depth and complexity, bridging the gap between the top notes' freshness and the base notes' richness.
