   |  I like this however there's something in it (possibly the musk) that puts off people around me (i.e. they sneeze a lot). I do not like that in a fragrance. Avantre Garde is a fresh musky scent that feels casual. The freshness is too much, though and feel unbalanced with the musk leaving an odd peppery note that lingers around. It also feels very robust and thick. I wouldn't spend a lot of money on a bottle.09 October 2009 |
  |  Although this is a combination of fresh notes with cocoa bean, tonka and amber, it smelt like a high quality acquatic to me. This would appeal to those who love the fresh modern releases by Creed but, for me, it was nothing spectacular. My female companion considered this to be one of the best that I tested from this house. But then again, in her defence, her perfume knowledge is painfully limited to designer fragrances.[Original submission date: 22 July 2008] 26 June 2009 |
 | If you put 70% cocoa pebbles and 30% fruity pebbles in a bowl and top it with grape soda you may get an idea of what Avante Garde smells like. As it dries to the base it only gets more chalky. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any real base notes at all. If worn on clothes a fruity wet smell stays prominent throughout even after the cocoa and grape soda dissipate, which is better than chalkiness, but has been done much more pleasantly by countless other perfumers. I really wanted to like this considering that at the time of this writing there is only one review, but there just is no hiding this unpleasantness. 09 April 2009 |
