What do reviewers say about Aventus and Black Citrus?
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
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one breathes. The smoke in the drydown is the twist that keeps it from being just another citrus, and it lingers close, intimate rather than projecting.Black Citrus
