Creed Aventus for Her

I used to think Creed was a little too predictable and I didn’t want to buy what everyone else was buying. But…then I decided to try Fleurissimo a few years ago and gradually they’ve become one of my most loved perfume houses. I now have full bottles of Fleurissimo, Spring Flower and Aventus for Her.

I’ve tried a decent number of their other fragrances. Not enough but more than several.

I think what amazes me about Creed is their ability to make what could easily become bourgeois and pretentious fragrances into ethereal, genius creations. Furthermore, I don’t tend to like the gender opposite version of most classic or popular fragrances all that much, but Aventus for Her is one of those rare exceptions when I not only like it but love it. If Chanel La Pausa wasn’t my signature I’d make it Aventus for Her.

Lilac, styrax, rose, pink pepper, musk, black currant, lemon and green apple all made it into this gorgeous scent. Those are some of my favorite notes. But it’s Creed so none of the notes feel cheap, off or miscalculated. It’s a delightful chypre. Absolutely wonderful.

I was given Aventus for Her by my mom last Christmas, which makes it even more special.

Glow Recipe

I love this brand.

Everything I’ve used is luxurious, well packaged works brilliantly and smells amazing. And by amazing I mean utterly delicious. But delicious in the way you’d like a skincare product to smell not like you’re tempted to actually eat the product.

The Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm is my favorite. I’ve had to use copious amounts of eye makeup remover in the past to get off some waterproof mascaras but just a bit of this delightful stuff (used as directed) and my makeup is gone. I’ve also noticed my pores are cleansed the way I’d expect with an average mask or a steam afterwards as well.

Again, these products work and are genuinely fun to use. I very much recommend them.

…Just a quick skincare review for a late winter Monday.
