The most discussed Creed perfumes in the fragrance communities Scendira tracks are Aventus, Green Irish Tweed and Absolu Aventus.
The picks, note by note
Aventus (2010) smells like bright fruit, smoky woods, cool cedar breeze, starting with bergamot and apple before birch, cedarwood and musk take over. Green Irish Tweed (Eau de Parfum, 1985) reads as fresh minty greenery with bergamot on cedar, opening on vervain and bergamot and drying down to oakmoss, ambergris and cedarwood. Absolu Aventus (Eau de Parfum, 2025) is described as sparkling citrus fruit punch with peppery spice; the opening brings pineapple and black currant, and the base settles on vetiver and patchouli.
