Mister Marvelous vs Aventus

Mister Marvelous inspires passionate devotion among those who owned the original, with some considering it their favorite Byredo fragrance. However, the broader r/fragrance community shows mixed views on Byredo as a brand, with some praising quality while others dismiss it as mediocre, making consensus elusive.

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.
