“I give this 5 stars if you are a fan of Creed Aventus. I love Aventus and I own it as well. I tried this because I saw the reviews that said it was a lot like Aventus. I do agree with the lemon pledge-like opening. I noticed that more when I sprayed it on fabric. On my skin, I didn’t smell it and it dries down very quickly into the smoky layers like Aventus. If I bought this before I bought Creed, I’m not sure I would buy Aventus. I do own both and will continue to. This one is great!”
