Issue 1: What 500 Creed Aventus Listings Actually Told Us
Scentledger Market Pulse — Issue 001
We tracked 500+ Creed Aventus listings across the secondary market. Here is what the data says.
The number everyone wants: $180
The community-derived median for a sealed 100 ml Creed Aventus is $180, roughly 40% of the $445 retail price.
That is the floor. Batch codes push it much higher.
Batch premiums, by era
| Era | Typical range | Multiple of median |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 to 2012 (11Z01, K04) | $900 to $1,400 | 5 to 7x |
| 2013 to 2015 (13Z01, 15Q01) | $400 to $650 | 2 to 3.5x |
| 2016 to 2022 | $180 to $280 | At or near median |
| 2023+ F-prefix | $160 to $210 | At or below median |
For daily wear, a 2020 to 2022 batch near the $180 median is the rational choice: pre-Kering formula, no novelty premium, easy to find.
For collecting, budget $400 to $650 for a 2013 to 2015 batch. 13Z01 or 15Q01 is the conventional answer. Be patient.
The F-prefix question
Post-Kering (2023+) F-prefix bottles are trading $10 to $20 below the pre-Kering median. The market is uncertain whether Kering will maintain the batch-variation tradition that drives collector demand. We will track it monthly.
Per-mL breakdown
The cheapest per-mL entry on the secondary market is the 250 ml decanter pack at roughly $1.69/mL. The worst value is the 110 ml refill at roughly $5.73/mL.
For regular wear, the 100 ml at $1.80/mL is the practical sweet spot.
