“Of course, a clone of Aventus. A lot less refined. Somewhat smells like bug spray initially, but eventually dries down similar to aventus. Instead of pineapple, there is a lemon grapefruit note that can be rather harsh. Not bad, but not great either.”
“Once you get past the total weirdness after spraying ( 3-5 min), this Armaf fragrance is pretty darn close to famed Creed Aventus. I find it more smokey though, and it lasts a few hours less on me than Aventus does. I now mix this cologne 40% Armaf to 60% Reyane Insurrection Pure 2 ( using sprays as the measuring stick) in a travel atomizer, then top off with one spray of real Aventus and the results are pretty stunning. Close enough to the more pineapple-esque Creed. 12-8-2, 12-8-2, until the atomizer is full. This saves my Aventus in pure form for special occasions and I doubt many seasoned fragrance buffs can tell the difference.”
