If you are going to buy Aventus you can afford Parfums De Marley is my point. Its a better product for the money. Fam when you walk into any event with brothers 50% of them have on Aventus, or Sauvage.
Fragrances def are cyclical, its very similar to fashion, but some trends kinda stick. Well the leaders stick. So Tobacco Vanille is more seasonal but it stuck and is a staple, same with Aventus.
It usually takes one big brand to lead the way, and its not that they lead the way they just make the most noise. The niche fragrances move the fragrance market, but the avg consumer will think oh Gucci came out with Oud, meanwhile 10000 smaller houses came out with ouds. Companies like PDM, Mancera, HOS, Kilian, they ONLY sell fragrances, so they are usually the pulse.
We have several that are dropping, that the avg consumer will catch up in 2-3 years. We have been selling Aventus 15 years. I know its not for everyone to be into fragrances, but if you want to be ahead of the curve niche fragrances are where its at.
To be honest you can get the same type of smell from many fragrances. The projection and spillage differs at some points. It I want Aventus I cqb get Mont blanc explorer, club de nuit or Mancera Cerat Boise. If I want a Sauvage smell I can go prada luna Rossa carbon. But then you venture into Parfume de Marley, Maision Margiela, or Amouage and they have a distinct event that can't be denied.
