This thread was fucked from the beginning. Moddie and I just added a little seasoning/unwanted flavor to it.

Tom Ford Noir, YSL Y, V&R Spicebomb & Hugo Boss Bottled are my three current fragrances, but I'm looking for another 1-2 cologne additions that truly wow people. The four that I have are nothing out of the ordinary.

You list 4, state 3, all 4 that you list are solid aromas aside from the Boss. I suggest a ban.

Spicebomb is a hot mess IMHO. Boss, I agree, is weak.

Maybe check into Antaeus by Chanel.

I quite like the Boss Bottled. Very Euro-vibe, but I haven't worn it much as it was a gift.
Spicebomb is aight. My go-to for school/work right now in winter, 0 pizazz.
The TF Noir is nice, but I want something extraordinarily seductive (and not too sweet..). Any suggestions?
YSL Y is generic daily. Does the job for summer, but I want something more special.

I'm thinking Sauvage, La Nuit, or AdQ Profumo as my next frag, but gotta do more research.

I ordered a bottle of Creed Aventus for my nephew for his birthday from Amazon. The package came and I was surprised to see that the box wasn't wrapped in plastic nor was the box sealed. I contacted the seller and was told that the Aventus is not sealed in cellophane at the factory. Is this correct?

I find it odd that a $300 bottle of cologne isn't sealed somehow.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure on the cellophane packaging on Aventus but I will say that I ordered some Monte Blanc from Amazon to replace a bottle that I bought at Sephora and the scent wasn't nearly as strong and didn't last nearly as long. Same with a bottle of Spice Bomb ordered from Amazon. Not sure if there is such a thing as "seconds" or cologne's that didn't pass QA from production and being sold in this manner but I do not buy cologne from Amazon anymore.

Thanks. The price wasn't much different than buying direct from retailers and it said new so I didn't give it another thought. If there was a big difference it would have been a flag something wasn't right. I just did Amazon because it was easy. I hope he likes it. But I'm guessing you may be right about the seconds or QA.

"Fake is sealed, genuine isn't." Must've made a plain joke but a simple search

https://www.google.com/search?q=creed+aventus+sealed

has ruined it. I wouldn't buy from a manufacturer that cares that little about their customers. Or buy from them (approved retailers) directly if you need it that badly.

LOL! I never thought to google if it comes in cellophane.
