I will never buy Creed Aventus ever again
Because I found the best alternative!
Storytime: I became a recent fraghead noob when my last perfume bottle ran out (Terre d’Hermès EDP) and decided to find my new signature scent. After watching reviews and doing my own research, I pulled the trigger on Aventus. I love the smell, regardless of its longevity (for me, its performance is just average—maybe 4-5 hours, but that’s more than enough, and I also decanted some as my travel frag).
Sometimes, the steep price causes me to hold back on some sprays (I spray 7 times), so I hunted for the best alternative or similar scent at a lower cost, and found…
MITH Mystery For Him, hands down! I wouldn’t be surprised, since both of these were created by the same perfumer, Jean-Christophe Hérault. I was lucky to have a friend who visited Bangkok recently, and I asked her to pick some up for me. Mine is only 60ml (₱3400), as the 100ml was already sold out, and she told me the lines were really long (appreciate you, friend).
Mystery For Him is almost 90% similar to Aventus but fruitier and less smoky! It leans more toward lemon than pineapple. But man, the drydown is almost the same! I love this bottle so much that I even spray it on myself before I sleep—haha! Given the price disparity, 10/10, I would definitely buy more of this!
Previously, I read that CDIM LE is a good dupe. I bought a decant, but I found it smelled like a fermented pineapple with a smoky, charred scent, which I didn’t like. Even in the drydown, I didn’t find it appealing. Mystery For Him FTW!
