“This is an excellent fragrance in its own right not compared to aventus. They did a great job in cloning aventus however it’s not 100% exact. You do however get a pretty similar dry down, it’s just missing the ambergris you get with creed. This is definitely blind buy worthy.”
“This is an interesting scent... It's often touted as a Creed Aventis 'knock off'. While similar, it's not going to fool anyone who knows Creed Aventis. It starts off with a strong lemon note and dries down to a much more 'smoky' scent. The dry down is much better than the opening so give it a chance. That said it has very good performance at a good price. It's pleasant but 'dark' - a fall/winter scent. More mature, less sweet smelling. More business exec than surfer boy like so many scents today. Definitely masculine, also unlike many scents today.Bottom line, if you are looking for something unique and mature smelling that is somewhat like Creed Aventis, this is a decent pick. Standing on its own, I have to say this is better than 80% of the fragrances on the market - even the very popular ones like Aqua di Gio, Dolce and Gabanna The One, etc...”
