The community holds divided opinions on Aventus for Her, with some appreciating its longevity and unisex appeal while others find it disappointing given its three-year development and high price point. Skin chemistry appears to dramatically affect the scent profile, making it polarizing—some detect fruity-citrus notes while others perceive only woody or musky notes. Most agree it fails to live up to the legacy of the original male Aventus.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
