How is that Aventus batch? I haven't yet seen any testers of the 2016 stuff.

So far, It's pretty similar to the 15X01 batch I have, though I would likely choose that if I had to pick. Have read that this is the "best" so far of 16

Based on my memory, started off a little brighter / fruitier and is starting to get smokey (only 1.5 - 2 hours in). Not as nasally blinding yet, which isn't a bad think for me. Will let you know final thoughts after I wear 15X01 tomorrow.

Following up from yesterday, I ended up going with 15X01 on the opposite wrist. My findings were that 15X01 is all around much stronger with bigger fruit and more roasted goodness. 16C01 likely had a more nuanced initial pinneapple, but less smoke and overall much more subtle vibe. It still had sillage and I could also smell on my shirt the next day / this morning. My wife also told me that I smelled really good.

All in all I think that 16C01 is a great performer for days when you want a more subtle Aventus experience.

YSL Kouros mixed with Gendarme - used as body spray and on the neck, 5 sprays Kouros and 7 sprays Gendarme, still smelling it nicely now 3 hours later.......

Thanks for the comparison! 15X01 sounds awesome! Glad to hear that the new batches still perform decently.

Frapin L'Humaniste today.
