“So people say this is almost a 1 to 1, (about 90% give or take) replica of Creed Aventus, which costs above $200 for the same size. I never had Creed Aventus, so I won't be commenting on that. I'm just putting it out there because that's what all the youtube reviewers seem to say.As far as smell, I'm not a fan. Obviously smell preference is ENTIRELY subjective, so chances are you might end up liking it. I'm more of a aquatic, blue fragrance guy. Something more light.This feels more "heavy". Very masculine, which is cool if you like that type of scent profile, I personally don't.Opening (5minutes after spray) is very harsh and overpowering. But mellows out later on and becomes more pleasant. Projection seems stronger than the average fragrance.I've been watching reviews that say this has fruits and pineapple notes, I smell none of it. I was hoping for a citrusy type scent, but this is very heavy scent.Funny note, my dog, a german shepherd, can't stop sniffing my neck since I sprayed it, hilarious haha.EDIT : I was getting a headache after just 1 day of use, I have to decide this isn't for me. I will never be getting this bottle again, suffice to say.Judging by the mostly positive reception online, certainly this is just me.Smell is too strong, and scent isn't my preference. Just be careful wearing this in an office setting, not everybody might like it.Possible I got a bad batch too, but who knows.”
“I sprayed two shots of this in my son's bedroom yesterday afternoon....today the entire back of the house still smells of cologne. Good GRIEF! I don't get the lemon pledge like many have mentioned...but honestly to me, all cologne has that alcohol musky smell. I'm beginning to think cologne just isn't for me. However, if you're looking for a powerful and long lasting cologne, this is deff it.”
