What do reviewers say about Aventus and You're So Vain?
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
The blackcurrant sits front and center, dark, almost wine-like, polarizing in the best way. It's fruity, but with mossy depth that keeps it from being sweet.You're So Vain
