This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a bold, confident statement for the 'boss lady', others find it screechy, masculine-leaning, and overpriced, smelling like anything from cleaning products to old-lady perfume. Definitely try before you buy, as Creed's pricing is no joke.

420 chases Creed's Aventus for Her - green apple and bergamot up top, rose and sandalwood at the heart, blackcurrant and amber underneath. The apple note is louder and more synthetic here than Creed's polished fruit accord, and the whole thing thins out much faster, but the fruity-woody shape of the original is recognisably there for a fraction of the price.
