Authentic Man

Who is voting that this one is similar to any Dior Homme?. Makes me think the world is going mad!!!!. This in indeed, similar to Aventus, but not sweet. The mixture of citrus at the top creates a heavy bergamot note at the top. Around 1 hour later, there is a leather note (suede I guess), woody and fresh feel that makes it a bit closer to Aventus when the pineapple note is long gone. And basically that is it. This one has been beaten everywhere and I think on a very unfair way. This has better quality to me than most of the “Aventus Clones”. Much better. It’s very pleasant, and the 2 times I have used it for a complete day, I have received questions about “what cologne are you using”. Trust me, that does not happen every day no matter what you are using, or from what brand. Lasts about 5-6 hours which is more than fine, and really projects great for about 2. It’s not Eros, but common.....it’s use is a different one for sure. Also, the bottle is super nice with its magnetic cap shaped like the Bvlgari Homme and Blv one, and grey denim front logo. My advice....don’t trust the bad reviews and test it yourself!!!!.

I can see why people say it's a dupe of aventus, but it is not actually a dupe. It has its own character and I love it. It has a very fresh fruity smell with a touch of wood and suede. The performance on my skin is not that bad at all. I got around 6 hours of longevity and around half an arm sillage. This is a fragrance for people who don't want to choke other people out but still want to have a good smell on their bodies. I think this fragrance is best when a guy invites his girlfriend to come over to his house. For such close contact, this fragrance is amazing. Don't wear this fragrance on the street and expect people to compliment you. I don't think it is highly possible.

This should be name as Aventus Aqva colonge/tonic without wood, very mild and refreshing,excelent for a hot day or summer evening , extremely compliments magnet from ladies specially where I am living, office,elevator and interview friendly , I am already on second bottle as this one have made my habits bad of getting compliments every single time I wear, go hard on trigger and i mean real hard like 10 sprays and mostly on clothes, yes indeed performance sucks like heavy, better then Zara vibrant edp but this one have some character, if they make real edp of this one that can last 6hrs atleast then easily it will get a lot of attention with small hype.

This fragrance comes off as quite linear to me and the only notes my nose detects is a rather dominant ginger and some spicy accord, might be the pink pepper. This is very wearable as a man, but be aware, the fragrance only lasts for about three hours before it vanish from your skin. I’d say it’s great value for money as the price tag is very affordable to most people. To me it’s a nice scent to have in my collection, but it doesn’t bring back any memories, nor is it the one I find myself grabbing the most. I’ve had it for a good eight months and there’s no visible dent to the bottle as I write this review.

I sprayed it on and thought it was nice. After a few seconds, I sniffed it again and thought "hmm, where have I smelled this before" and then it hit me. It is very similar to Mont Blanc Explorer. A little fresher and more pepper but its definitely mont blanc explorer. I didn't mention Aventus cause this only has the top notes of Aventus without the mossy dry down of Aventus and that is basically what Explorer smells like to me. Since its a part of this DNA, it definitely smells nice. I think Explorer beats this in the performance area tho. Overall, a really nice fresh lighter take on the Aventus DNA.
