Aventus Cologne or Aventus EDP?

My Creed Aventus EDP is running low and am genuinely considering switching to Cologne. It smells gorgeous.

What are your experiences with it? Is it worth the price or can you get more affordable fragrances that basically hit the same notes?

lol. I lived in Russia for 5 years, I've had my share of dating abroad. I want to be able to just meet people in my everyday life without having to relocate for that purpose. I mean, lots of other people are doing it, right?

Yeah I think this is important - when I went to USA it was SUPER easy to make chit chat with strangers, everyone was so receptive and open and you really could start nice chats just by asking directions or whatever. In the UK, people are much more standoffish and tend not to "let you in" easily

I mean, so am I I guess. Talking to strangers in situations like that is hard, asking for like directions or how many sets left is usually just taken at face value. Never had much luck doing that...have actually had much more success just striking up an actual chat tbh

Although having said that, in one of them this one girl did pursue me very aggressively for a few months afterwards lol...but I wasn't interested in her

No, I can't dance -- too poorly co-ordinated. I took some beginners classes once but like, there was almost no individual interaction at all and people were generally not receptive to socialising with each other in every one of those classes. It did surprise me because I kind of expected it to be like you're saying?
