“Reading some of these reviews, I don't see how someone could not like this scent. Especially if they're looking for an Aventus cologne. Aventus has terrible QC, constantly changing notes every batch, and this seems to be similar. I have no idea what batch I got, but it is even better than the Aventus decent I had. One thing I loved loved loved about Aventus was the pineapple and muskiness, what I didn't like however was the overpowering smoke and birch.I find CNIM gives me MORE pineapple and musk, less of the wood smoke notes. I can see how some people may argue that it "smells nothing like Aventus" but that seems disingenuous. Sure they may be different in the way I just mentioned, but a far cry from nothing like each other. I don't see myself buying any more Aventus decants after this though. It essentially took my favorite notes from Aventus and brought them forward while pushing the ones I don't like back.Performance is insane, lasts ~8 hours on my skin. No quarrels here. Perfect for a night out and then some scent leftover for the "night in" after.My only downside with this guy is the design of the bottle. Like really? This is unreal. Would gladly pay double the cost it is now just to get a bottle that looks better with nicer packaging.”
“JUST BUY IT ALREADY... if you’re like me, you probably are looking at the alternative to Creed Aventus. Well it’s not Creed Aventus but it’s pretty close.Pro: smells pretty close to what we can’t justify spending the big bucks on. The price is right.Con: for me, it doesn’t last that long. A few hours and it’s time for more.I bought it to see if it is worth investing in Creed and after buying this bottle I know it’ll be worth it. Might try to mix both colognes when I finally decide to buy Aventus to prolong the expensive stuff.”
“This is the second time I am buying this cologne. The first one dropped and I immediately ordered another. I fell in love with scents, compliments comes in almost every time. A lot just say it straight with the thought that is CREED. Last longer too, even after days.”
