“You may be aware this a clone of Creed Aventus. So you might asking, "how close is it to Creed? Honestly, I never smelled Creed Aventus so I wouldn't know. I'm judging this as it own cologne. So, I waited 4 months to review this product. Why so long? because I wanted to wear it in the real world. On vacation in the Caribbean, Mexico, and home in New York. First let me start with the positive. The longevity with this cologne is incredible. It's the real deal, I'm getting at least 8hrs. As far as the projection, it's a beast. You'll will get notice when working in a room. This cologne is seriously strong, so I recommend not over spraying it. Honestly, I recommend just one spay behind the ear, at least that work for me. The Smell? I won’t say this a negative since everyone personal taste is different. As far as the opening, my first spray on my body is overwhelming and I don’t like the smell. My wife really hates it. But after some time, about 2 hours in. I really like it. Can’t say I love, but really like. So would I recommend this cologne. Yes, but you have to pick your moment. You have to know when, where and how much to put it. You don’t want to choke out the room. Pretty good cologne.”
