What do reviewers say about Proxima and Aventus?
This is the fragrance for someone who's watched first-contact films and thought: yes, but what would it smell like? The aldehydic lift keeps everything feeling airy and otherworldly.Proxima
Batch variations became part of the appeal. Tracking down the right one, then knowing exactly what you're wearing, that's the Aventus experience. Not just a fragrance.Aventus
