“I purchased this based on seeing so many positive reviews and glad i did! For the price this is one hell of a fragrance. If you like fresh scents with a bit of citrus and spice this is for you. Being that i never owned Creed Aventus its hard for me to compare it to that. I do though compare it to Mont Black Explorer which is a very nice sent. Scent lasts a fairly good amount of time and the dry down is even better than the initial spray. Very pleased!”
