“As the title states, this was a blind buy after some extensive research. This is raved about as the best Creed Aventus clone, and my first impressions are that this is VERY close for much much cheaper. I do not get that "pledge cleaner" vibe when I spray this unless I spray it too close to the skin and it pools up. Definitely get a good dose of lemon initially and then it mellows out within 5-10 minutes. The dry down is where this shines. After 20 minutes, you're ready to take on the world. I've been wearing fragrances for 20 years, and this has to be one of my all time favorite scents. This will definitely be one of my new signature scents. If you're looking for a good Creed clone, don't hesitate on this. Yes, it's not exactly the same in every note, but this is very good. Atomizer works well, the bottle is heavy duty, the packaging is sleek.UPDATE: The wife loves it, I love it, I'm already receiving unsolicited positive comments...yeah...you need to get this. Buy this for what it is instead of for what it's not. This isn't Creed Aventus...this is better. It's a little heavier, it performs well (8-10hrs), it projects a little better. For the price, this blows Aventus out of the water in my opinion.”
