“I must say that I was initially skeptical when I ordered this on last week, but when I received it on today I was literally blown away. Now I must say right off the bat that I have an actual bottle of Creed Aventus, and this folks is the closest duplicate I have ever came across. After picking this up from my UPS box, I opened it up in my car just to smell, and decided to try one spray! Wow! I had a barbershop appointment on this evening and as I was walking into the building to get on the elevator, I pass 2 ladies talking and they immediately stopped me and said, excuse me sir but what in the world is that you are wearing?? Ha! Again I just received this on today, and this is from a person who has 8 Creed scents, 2 bottles of Clive Christensen and assortment of other colognes (Yeah I'm pretty out there with the scents) Do yourself a favor and get this asap. I assure you, that you will not regret it.”
“When tested side by side, Aventus on one wrist, CDNIM on the other, it's very clear which one is Aventus. The quality difference is quite drastic. Also, CDNIM has a very strong citrus note that I find a little off-putting. It's not a nice citrus like fresh lemons, but more of a bathroom cleaning product citrus. This scent would be much closer to Aventus if it didn't have that citrus note, but the citrus overpowers the smokey pineapple that we all love in Aventus.I received the "Made in France" version, so I'm not sure if the UAE version is different.I personally found the Reyanne Insurrection Pure II to be much closer to Aventus than CDNIM. The smokey note may be more subtle in Insurrection, but the pineapple is very clear and not masked by other notes.”
