“The atomizer on the bottle I received did not need to be primed. Usually with a new bottle of cologne the first 2 -3 pumps of the sprayer are empty but this one sprayed on the very first pump. Not really sure what all this means but i thought I would mention it.As far as the fragrance, the open is very harsh and has an almost chemical smell to it, reminiscent of being in a shoe repair shop. Sorry that's the best comparison I could make :) There's definitely a strong lemon note in the open as well. I didn't care for the open so much. The dry down is nice and it mellows to a leathery spice with floral notes; very classy fragrance. This is not something I would normally go for or wear every day but maybe to go out to parties and such.I sprayed it on in the early afternoon and it lasted through the evening and was still noticeable the next morning. All in all, this is not the kind of cologne I would necessarily buy If I had tried it out first but it's not bad and I will probably wear it on occasion.”
“I heard this was a aveentus clone so I said ok, it's cheap why not? Never smelled aveentus. Very strong scent at first. I didn't really enjoy it. However it does dry down OK. I may buy a small decant of aveentus just to try to see any resemblance.”
“Im not sure about the authenticity of this bottle. Definitely it is not long lasting (2019 batch),it does smells super citric leaving behind the other notes that are supposed to be in the fragrance also. Definitely not buying from this site again.”
“Didn't get the projection and the longevity as read in the reviews. The smell after the top notes fade is good but I don't think this is so close to Creed Aventus.”
