Aventus by Creed

Fruity Chypre · 2010 · Tier: luxury · Approx $445

The modern king of men's fragrance. Fresh fruit on smoky birch — Napoleon in a bottle. Universally desired, cloned endlessly for a reason.

The psychology

The pineapple-birch smokiness reads as success — bright and celebratory on top, smoldering underneath. The scent of someone who just closed something big.
