“I just received this yesterday and was shocked at how expensive the packaging and bottle looked- it really looks like a $200+ fragrance. The scent is very nice - I would say it’s an 80% copy of Creed Aventus. The Creed fragrance is a bit more citrusy and this one is a little stronger on the smokey woody note but its still excellent. Average longevity- lasts for maybe 5/6 hours after applying. I definitely don’t regret purchasing this - and I expect to get some positive comments after wearing this a while.”

“Smells excellent, more towards the sweet side of Aventus by Creed. It could be a little more smokey to make it more balanced i feel. The projection is good anywhere from 45 minutes to about an hour then i get a few whiffs of this scent every now and then. Becomes a skin scent in 4 to 5 hours. Overall a good blind buy. If this scent performed better, staying power of at least 8 or more hours. I would rate it as good as CDNIM, which is more smokey due to the birch note and lasts 8 to 10 hours for me. I have tried layering it under CDNIM, it does mellow out the harsh, lemony opening, which doesn't bother me, so that's an interesting subject to delve on as i have experimented layering fragrances such as Aventus with perfumo, wow!”
