“I'm not a cologne reviewer or a noob to colognes so take this as you may. This is pretty close to Creed Aventus and a great price for a large bottle. I get compliments on it and some people say “oh you're wearing creed aventus, I love that cologne!â€. Sure some people can tell it may not be creed, but it's close. I will buy again in a year or two when this runs empty. lol”
