No.467 Aventis For Her

Eden Perfumes' No.467 is a vegan take on Creed's Aventus for Her, and it opens on the same green apple and blackcurrant combination that defines the original, brightened here with bergamot, lemon and pink pepper. Where Aventus for Her balances that fruity opening against a crisp, almost sparkling musk, Eden's version pushes the sweetness forward earlier, with violet and patchouli giving the top accord a slightly softer, powdery edge. The heart of sandalwood, rose, styrax and musk keeps things fresh and floral without much heaviness, and the base folds in peach, more blackcurrant, lilac, ylang-ylang and amber for a fruity-floral finish that stays light rather than developing the polished sophistication reviewers associate with the Creed original. It reads as an easy, approachable fruity-musk fragrance well suited to daytime or office wear, though the projection and depth fall noticeably short of the designer version, and the green apple brightness fades faster than in Aventus for Her, leaving a softer, more generic musky-floral drydown for the remainder of the wear.
