Aventus & siblings

Thank you to all the enablers on here. It's been costing me a small fortune lately. Yesterday, Aventus found a few more siblings in Bangkok. Will there be any more, perhaps? We still have a week here to do more damage :)

Thank you. I'm too surprised just how nice Himalaya is. In fact, they are all very unique in their own right. It's going to fun each morning trying decide which to wear.

The whole Creed line is really amazing stuff! Half the fun is figuring which ones you like!

Enjoy your vacation

I'm trying creed aventus out as a friend is sending me a sample. Can't wait. I've heard every batch is unique.

Wow!
I love colognes and have many of them but the price on this is nuts!
Does it guarantee more sex? Better sex? Anything?
I am in if so.

Aventus guarantees me a migraine.

Millesime imperial on the other hand is the greatest smelling thing ever.

The price isn't bad for the amount you get. I've paid that and more for a few grams of pure scent oils in the middle east. I have one called kiswa that was $250 for 8 grams, but is worth every penny.

You get what you pay with fine perfumes.

Yes, and Paragon is still out of stock. I was in Bkk again over the weekend. I was looking to get another bottle, as my current one is almost done. In Sydney, the price is A$150 dearer.

I wear Millesime Imperial, Green Irish Tweed, Virgin Island Water, Tabarome, Origina Santal, and Bois du Portugal. That pretty much covers all my bases.
I keep trying to like Aventus, and I've had spontaneous compliments while wearing it, but I don't love it like so many people do.
MI for me today BTW!

Wearing Creed will guarantee that you're smelling good, the rest is up to you.
I will reiterate that while I don't love Aventus myself, it really does get the compliments. Apparently men are wearing the Aventus for her as well.

At least you have it available there... Malaysia dont have an importer/distributor (there was a independent boutique selling it but the prices were astronomical!)
I checked in Jakarta and most places have never heard of it so another dead end....
Ill be in BKK next week so ill check again

Huge Creed fan here too! Try the Virgin Island water for a great summery scent.

Good work!

When you consider the minimum wage in Thailand is around 300Baht, a bottle of Aventus is around a month's wage! Crazy huh?
