Scent Description
Spartacus is yet another homage to Aventus, the iconic scent from the house of Creed, which is one of the most duped fragrances in the world of wet shaving. Aventus is beloved by both men, and the women who love them, and sits in the pantheon of greatest "Date Night" fragrances of the modern age. The magic of Aventus resides in its fruits. For although it is a masculine, fresh, scent, the subtle hints of Blackcurrant and Pineapple add a depth and roundness to the bouquet which is deeply alluring. When combined with the Musk, Leather, Birch and Ambroxan, the mélange is both intoxicating and seductive, but in a manner which isn't brash or assertive, but mature and sophisticated. A must-have for fragrance lovers and a cornerstone of any serious collection. Suitable in any setting, at any time, but shines the brightest on date night.
