“Can't give any fancy cologne review, but I can give an honest opinion. Never tried Creed, but if this is close, what a value. On its own merit, the smell is very masculine. The original spray was nothing like Lemon Pledge; not sure where that comes from, but not even close. Didnt take long for dry down, but its over 4 hours since I sprayed a test spray on my arm, and its still there. The wife really liked it. One of the best cologne smells I've encountered. At the end of the evening, this is what you want to smell like (up close).. I'm sure it's going to get compliments!”
“Maybe it’s the batch that I received but this doesn’t smell like Creed Aventus to me AT ALL. I own various niche and designer fragrances so my nose is pretty good at picking up notes. The opening is harsh but it does get better on the dry down. In my honest opinion, I think that Montblanc Explorer is closer to Creed Aventus than this is but at this price point, it’s worth a try and if you don’t like it, just send it back lol.”

“I have Aventus Creed so I was curious to see if this truly was its clone...yes! A very minute difference most people wouldn't notice at all.. it is lighter and doesn't last that long so you have to use vigorously 5 - 6 sprays . But for the price it's worth the buy..”
