Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Absolu Aventus Parfum
A vibrant, contemporary twist on the Aventus DNA, Absolu Aventus Parfum electrifies with juicy grapefruit and pineapple over a spicy-woody base. More dynamic and uplifting than the classic, it's a modern Creed standout.
Favourite
Our Verdict - DesirToxic Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper polariser; a love-it-or-hate-it spicy aromatic with a divisive cannabis kick. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, others a cloying, dated mess. You'll either love its sexy, addictive pull or find yourself scrubbing it off with a vengeance.
