“Smells almost exactly like Creed. It has a little more hints of musk rather than citrus. Takes about an hour to set in. Lasts 10+ hours with one spray. My girlfriend loves it. The batch I received was #316664.”
“Aventus and its clones are on their way to being this generation's Polo Green / Cool Water / Acqua Di Gio. That means that as popularity hits critical mass, you are more and more likely to run into people wearing the same thing. A victim of its own success.Of course, many people still wear the aforementioned three, but I would urge you to consider taking a moment to find a fragrance that is more unique to you, there are many out there. Scent is the sense most strongly tied to memory, and you lose a valuable opportunity to make a lasting impression on someone when you are wearing a fragrance someone else in their life already wears.If it sounds like I am overthinking it and you just want a simple smell-gooder, then I would recommend Afnan Supremacy Silver. It is the Aventus clone I used most before moving on to better things.For this "fresh" space, I would recommend Guerlain Homme EDP (very classy) and Bulgari Aqua. Also worth sampling would be Dunhill Icon Elite, Carolina Herrera Chic for Men, Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir (or Cartier Declaration Parfum).”
