We shall see.

I had the same thoughts when I was reading the scent notes... all its missing is the pineapple

Molten:
Scent Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Birch Tar, Acacia, Cistus labdanum, Malt, Vanilla, and oakmoss.

Aventus:
Top Notes
Blackcurrant, Italian bergamot, French apples, Pineapple
Heart Notes
Rose, Dry birch, Moroccan jasmine, Patchouli
Base notes
Musk, Oakmoss, Ambergris, Vanilla

The most desirable batches being doninated by pineapple; fresh and crisp, the least smokey pineapple

Not sure get the nexus. The foreward notes of Molten would seem the minor and discreet notes of Aventus

Glad to know I'm not the only one, but please read on. Molten is missing more than pinapple, and it has some notes not found in Aventus.

I'm not sure how big the nexus is, or even if it is big, which is why I used the word "vaguely" in my post. (I used "intriguingly" because Molten is Mohammad's work, and I was - and still am - very curious to see what Mohammad has created.) In any case, I have bolded the notes that caught my attention. I expect people will see widely different degrees of similarity, if any, and that is fine with me.

From Fragrentica for Creed Aventus:
........Top notes: blackcurrant, bergamot, apple and pineapple.
........Heart: rose, dry birch, Moroccan jasmine and patchouli.
........Base: oak moss, musk, ambergris, and vanilla.

From Grooming Dept for Molton:
........Scent Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Birch Tar, Acacia, Cistus labdanum, Malt, Vanilla, and oakmoss.

What is Aventus? Excuse my ignorance!!
By the way, love the scent smells of both of these new soaps. The Molten smells very smoky and spicy!

Aventus is a fragrance made by a French company called Creed; it is often cloned. Shave soaps in Creed Aventus clones are WSP Olympus, Declaration Sellout, Murphy and McNeil Trinity, Ariana and Evans Spartacus etc.

It is a very popular scent.
