Creed Aventus Cologne
« on: December 30, 2018, 08:38:06 PM »
I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how to get ahold of this for well below market price. It's $300+ a bottle.

Lol. Sample is actually legit. You can pay upwards of $80/oz, so a free sample is gold. I'm specifically looking for their quality, although I want the fragrance too. Just can't bring myself to spend that much.

Buy in Europe and get a tax refund. Someone actually asked me on my last trip but the store I went to didn't have 3.3oz.

What would the savings actually be?

Aliexpress will be a poor knock off.

It depends where you'd get it from here. Jet has 100ml for 290 but Neiman Marcus is 435 + tax of course. This store in Paris for example has 100ml for 194 Euros = $193 after change and tax refund. https://nose.fr/fr/aventus

Wow, that is cheap. That's $100 off. How do you go about a tax refund?

Like anything else, meet the minimum total purchase requirement (175.01 Eur over your stay in France), ask the store for the papers that you get stamped on your way out of the country and receive the refund on your card a few weeks later.

Right, never done that. Heard of the concept though. Appreciate the input.

I've seen Creed on sale on gilt.  Not sure about this particular version but might be worth checking.

I tried getting one at Saks once and they said they could only ship it to my house, which never came...

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Will do.

Yes, but that's only part of it. The quality is amazing, and it last forever. This company is exclusively fragrances I bee, unlike many others that happen to have a fragrance line.

@as2 how did you even find this?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

It's a well known iconic fragrance. A friend introduced it to me.
