“The opening scent is incredibly harsh to the point that it starts to make the nose tingle. Once it drys however its smells pretty good however nothing really special. For the price and for what most are looking for I’d say it’s a good pick up however there are other ones that are far better”
“Bottle arrived very scratched up and the little chain was broken. The smell is ok kind of a lingering musty smell smells like lemon pledge right when you spray it on but gets a little better at the dry down.”
“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.”
“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.”
