“I have a few decants of Creed's Aventus from various decanters and salespeople. This Armaf clone smells more like one of the decants, than the others (a smoke heavy batch from Nordstrom), but really it's very close to all of them.The opening spray is a bit harsh, but once it dries down after a few minutes, the cloneday match comes out. It's powerful, pineappley, smokey and good. All in all, this will get me through a couple more months without springing for a real bottle of Creed, but at the end of the day, only the original will truly satisfy me. To the inexperienced noise, though, this will be indistinguishable from the real Mccoy. Great blind but for me. As with all fragrance, YMMV.”
“This is a nice addition to any collection. Neither I nor my wife are fans of Aventus. It just doesn't smell great on my skin, and for +$200 it needs to smell amazing. I have also smelled it on co-workers and it just doesn't work for everybody. I still appreciate the uniqueness of the smell, and this provides that at a price that is reasonable. This is something I wear around the house just for me.”
“Smells just like the smokey version of Aventus. Lingers throughout the room. I get compliments every time I wear it. Excellent fragrance. Armaf got this one right.”
“Great product/service but this scent is very strong/spicy/overbearing It doesn't work for me.. I received the version made in the UAE. The good reviews I've heard about this scent all refer to the version made in France.”
“Two words....Lemon Pledge.That's exactly what this smells like. I bought this blindly based on a lot of hype, but have been very underwhelmed with this purchase.I don't get any of the fruity notes everyone is talking about. All I smell is lemon pledge and ashtrays.”
