“Great Blind Buy. Have not had the chance yet to smell the real creed aventus so i can't compare but i can tell you i love this scent. Other reviews warn about the opening and DAMN it is obnoxious! synthetic and a little harsh. I kind of like it but my girlfriend was offended just being in the same room when i sprayed it on a button down shirt. This is good for getting ready in the morning and giving it a chance to dry down a little.. do not try to carry a bottle with you and apply mid day and think it will go un noticed.. opening is SUPER loud. BUT the scent it leaves you with in an awesome manly smoky scent all day that really projects. Its not fresh smelling like aquatic but it still smells really clean somehow.. maybe the lemon note? Really really good and different. Go ahead and pick this up for the price.. you can't go wrong. Just wear with confidence.”
“A little aggressive upfront, but it levels out in an hour or so and I'm 16 hours in and it still is very noticable from one spray. Fantastic after the initial hour.”
