201 Apex is an Extrait de Parfum inspired by Aventus by Creed for Men, rebuilt for clarity, projection, and wear stability.

It opens with an immediate burst of pineapple, bergamot, and black currant for sharp fruit brightness. The middle introduces birch and patchouli for a dry, smoky contrast. The base is structured with oakmoss, cedarwood, and musk, giving a long, clean trail.

The result: a fruity-woody composition that combines freshness and depth. DT-201 Apex delivers the same confident signature — modern, dynamic, and steady — without the markup or myth.
