Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Absolu Aventus EDP
This is Aventus, but darker, spicier, and often perceived as more mature. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure, though the Sauvage Elixir comparisons are rife, and the eternal debate around Creed's pricing versus performance rages on. If you want a more potent, less playful Aventus, this is it.
Statement
Our Verdict - Game of Spades High Roller EDP
This one's a dead ringer for Absolu Aventus, at least for some. Expect plenty of compliments, but be warned, batch variations are a real wild card. If you get a good one, it's a stellar, versatile beast.
