Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aventus
Aventus is the definitive modern statement scent: assertive pineapple and smoky birch create a signature that is both crowd-pleasing and distinctive. Effortlessly confident, it commands attention without shouting.

Our Verdict - Catch De Noire
This is a seriously punchy, modern take on a classic chypre. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a bold statement that demands attention and gets it, but perhaps not universally. Expect compliments, or a bit of head-scratching.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aventus

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Aventus' vibrant fruits and citrus sparkle in spring and summer, while smoky birch, oakmoss, and leather ground it for autumn. The freshness tapers off in winter but remains wearable year round.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Well-balanced projection and sophistication make Aventus versatile for office, date, and casual wear. Its assertive presence also suits formal occasions, but is too rich for sport or gym.

Catch De Noire

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and strong character make it less suitable for a discreet office environment. However, its sophisticated fruity-woody profile is perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event, and its modern edge works well in casual settings too.
