“Ordered some of this a little while back. When I received it, took it out of the box, which was very nice I must say, sprayed it on some cardboard. 30 minutes later, I took it to my wife and said "smell this." She immediately said, "oh, that's your Creed, right?" (NOTE: I only have a little 5ml decant of Aventus, as I can't justify spending $400 on a bottle of cologne given my current economic status). Admittedly, the opening is different, I can definitely smell the lemony scent that people talk about. But it is not off-putting to me. And after 30 minutes, it would be very hard to discern this from Creed Aventus. So to me, this is a total win! I'm so glad I bought all the hype and ordered a bottle, which is also very nice - atomizer works great. I sprayed some on before leaving work at 6am this morning. It's 3pm now, and I am still smelling it on me, so great longevity too. My take : if you are economically capable and don't want to wait 30 minutes for the drydown, then by all means, buy Creed Aventus. But if you are willing to wait 30 minutes for the smell to develop to something that is a 95% match to Creed and save $370, then definitely give this a try. I'm definitely glad I did!”
“This is the best cologne I ever bought, people complain about the harsh smell in the opening is not bad it last like 2 days in you clothes this is the 4 bottle I bought the dry down is amazing better than creed don’t smell like lemon pledge like people say my wife love this cologne I bought creed and this one last longer and smell better”
“I went to the mall to get some stuff and decided I would stop and test smell all the colognes that everyone rants and raves about but literally none came close to smelling as good as what I had on. Might mess around and buy the limited edition next since it’s EDP”
