I have that same batch. I can't smell anything after 2-3 hours.. I have to spray about 6x on my shirt for it to last 5-6 hours. Some people here in the forums have mentioned that it takes a while for the juice to "age" inside the bottle, but I find that hard to believe.

Which is the 2012 E01 batch? The one I have purchased is A42B12E01. I get a lot of smokey ash in this one but it could just be my nose.
post #1506 of 1704
sorry i meant to say 2011 z01 is good and the 2012 e01 is A42B12E01 and i found it very balanced and i liked it, the z01 had the stronger pineapple which was nice.

I too have batch A42B12C02, but as I mentioned earlier, I don't understand why people dislike it. The smell is fabulous and the longevity & projection is pretty decent. To each their own I guess.

I have this batch is very balanced and has lots of pineapple, I can get bursts of pineapple after 10 hours, the perfume sample I had been testing more smoke but I also liked.

+1 for A42B12E01, just got a bottle and it's great, nice pineapple blast on opening and lovely ashy heart with whiffs of pineapple now and then. Very happy with silage / longevity

There is already a huge thread on Aventus batch variations: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/267...-batch-numbers

But there isn't 1 single post that sums up everyone's feedback. The general conclusion is, 2010 batches are hit and miss with scent, longevity, and projection... while 2011 batches are all extremely good. All reports are the 11X02 batch is an abnormally potent, great-smelling Aventus on steroids. Too bad it only comes in 500 ml flacons, lol.

Where did you get this info? There was a basenoter selling an X02 batch in a 4oz bottle.

This.
post #1512 of 1704
2012 C01 is very good ;-)
post #1513 of 1704
Dare I ask if anyone has bought a 2013 batch yet?
post #1514 of 1704
I doubt we're going to see more batch variations. If you look at the history of the scent, it seems clear what happened.

Early 2010: the scent is created. It smells fantastic.

Mid 2010: the scent becomes a best seller. Creed can't keep up with demand. Rather than allow it to sell out and be unavailable until they can properly source ingredients and make more without sacrificing quality, they do whatever they have to keep it on the shelves. The new batch is different but close enough, right? Hello smokey batch.

By 2011, they got their act together in terms of keeping up with supply and demand.

2012 batches seem to have been very consistent. Actually, the 2011 batches were pretty consistent too, except there was one that had a sharper/stronger pineapple (the X02 batch).

I could be wrong, but I think the whole batch variation thing is blown waaaaaaaaay out of proportion.

The 2010 K04 batch was extra smokey and weak.
The 2011 X02/Z01 batches were heavier on the pineapple and longevity.
Everything else seems to have been really consistent.
post #1515 of 1704
I just tried the K04 batch and it smells like someone squeezed an orange on a campfire.
post #1516 of 1704
The K batches are not weak, i own a K batch and they are powerhouses. Longevity smashes my E01 batch. Love em both.
post #1517 of 1704
I bought the Y01 batch. Is this a good batch? Can someone tell me how smokey it is?

If you bought it, you own it, right? Spray it on your skin. Sniff.
Does it smell good? If it does, it is good.
Does it smell smokey? If it does, that's how smokey it is.

Just recevied mine, ordered it through Ebay seller ($50 cheaper cheapest 'major' online retailer and $60 cheaper than Strawberrynet) and got this batch.

As stated above, seems really balanced, not too smoky yet, huge pineapple burst on spray but it has quickly mellowed out. Seems quite spicey actually after settling on my skin. Lovely

Which has more longevity on your skin?
They are very different these two batches?
post #1524 of 1704
Can't comment on K01, but longevity of E01 blows my official carded sample out of the water. So I'm very happy with it. I get 6 hours projection, and still a skin scent after 12+ hours, with 3 sprays. Projection for first 4 hours is crazy.
post #1525 of 1704
Ok so i'm now officially a believer in Creed batch variation. Just received my second bottle as my first was running low - tried them both on skin - it's unmistakable.

E01 (my new bottle) is noticeably darker and smokier than my older bottle in the opening. My old bottle (THINK it says N01? hard to see - very faint now) smells like a fruit bowl next to E01! Although I have to say they do start to resemble each other a lot more when they dry down. At this point, the average person wouldn't tell the difference if not smelling them side by side.

It seems that the 2012 batches are all fantastic....

I ordered last night at that price.

I don't see any reason not to trust Amazon. It probably drop ships from another reputable place.

my e01 2012 batch has a roasted marshmellow vibe in it during the drydown for a while

post #1533 of 1704
Just got my amazon order....it is s42b112001b...anybody smell / know about this one? package not shrink wrapped, number is on back of bottle right at bottom, not on bottom of bottle...bottle appears to have leaked a tiny bit into cap, cap doesn't fit firmly on bottle...smells good, haven't worn for full day-
post #1534 of 1704
I've owned that lot. It's legit. I have had a lot of Creed caps
That are loose fitting. I wish they'd fix that problem, but otherwise everything seems to be good. Enjoy.
post #1535 of 1704
Same here, my older GIT and Aventus caps fall to the floor when turned upside down, the GIT emblem in the cap has also come unstuck and fallen out. Both bought from Creed boutiques.

Er, probably not. Check it again.
post #1537 of 1704
I'm pretty sure you got the number wrong. As Jouho said, you'll want to check it again.

Aventus doesn't come shrink wrapped, so no worries there. Also, the cap on mine is really loose too. In fact, I stopped using the cap to prevent myself from ever accidentally picking the bottle up that way. It's loose. Is the sticker label starting to peel on your bottle? Mine is. Isn't Creed quality control awesome? Luckily, the scent only costs a few dollars. Oh, wait...

Really, it all comes down to how it smells, and Aventus smells wonderful. Enjoy it.

Looking at it again, it says LOT: S42B12001B or the end could be D01B

That sound right?

last try....
S42B12D01 then there is also a B at the very end-
post #1542 of 1704
I have A42B12E01, one of the best batches I've had since the initial launch. Extremely balanced and excellent longevity.
post #1543 of 1704
What amazon dealer do you all use? Also, anyone have any experience with A42B12C01? One dealer currently has this batch in stock. Assumign this is a 2012 batch? Amazon seems to have the best prices.

I own this batch and it's very good IMO. Kron has split this batch before too and rates it highly

Anyone else got a F01 batch they tested?

I just got in a F01 (2012) on Monday from Amazon. This stuff is screaming pineapple!

You need to make sure it's being fulfilled by Amazon themselves or another reputable wholesaler such as FragranceNet. I got mine for $164 fulfilled by Amazon.
post #1547 of 1704
i look on amazon and the cheapest i see it for is 177. and the seller is 99perfume. all positive reviews. Where are you seeing it for 164? Also, anyone used this seller?

That's what I paid for it on the day I ordered. Amazon fluctuates their price from time to time.

I've never heard of 99Perfume.

I would order it from either Amazon or FragranceNet, whichever is cheaper.

I wonder if they get their product from fragrancenet, i read some of their reviews on aventus and they mentioned fragrancenet in them.

You are viewing reviews on Aventus period, not ones specifically purchased from Amazon.
post #1551 of 1704
Thanks for pointing that out. I saw a listing for Aventus for roughly 188 sold by Amazon, only problem is i can't contact the seller to see what batch they are currently shipping out.

I have ordered several times from 99perfume on amazon and had no problems.
post #1553 of 1704
Ordering through Amazon or FragranceNet is going to just about guarantee a 2012 batch. I haven't heard much about what people are receiving from the other sites.
post #1554 of 1704
Ordered a 2012 F01 batch. I hope I like it!
post #1555 of 1704
I got my hands on a bottle of Aventus A42B10K04 the so called "bad batch" of Aventus. When I get it I will see if it really is all that bad, or just conspiracy. I own 3 batches right now A42B11N01, A42B11Y01, and C42B11X02 and they all smell identical. Excited to see what this "bad batch" smells like. I'm sure I'll love it like I have every other batch.

I have also purchased many things from 99perfume, not through Amazon, but directly off their website and never have had a problem. I would feel very confident in ordering from them.

Found three different batches on Ebay.C01, E01 and F01. Decided to try F01. Ordered from seller Perfume4us. I hope it's authentic. Same price as Amazon, but I got to pick out of the batches he has. I just hope worrying about batch numbers didn't get me a fake!

I think you will like F01, hopefully it's legit.

Let us know what you think.
