Santal Royal vs Aventus

Santal Royal is a highly divisive fragrance in the community that generates strong reactions both positive and negative. While fans appreciate its bold, distinctive character and strong performance, many find it too heavy, oud-forward, and overwhelmingly intense for comfortable wear, with several reports of negative reactions from others.

Aventus is respected within the r/fragrance community as a high-performing, universally compliment-worthy fragrance with revolutionary fruity chypre characteristics. However, opinions are divided on whether its premium price and personal wearability justify the hype, with many experiencing rapid nose blindness despite strong projection, and batch inconsistency creating variable experiences across users.
