It doesn’t disgust me, but it disappears from my skin in the blink of an eye after several tests. I love that woody touch; the birch moss dominates and slides into something green. At €7 in DM (Germany), it’s more than acceptable as a battle cologne. My second favourite male scent from Rive.

A very good fragrance; according to the brand, it’s an inspiration for Aventus. Here you get it for $6, and for that price, it lasts well. It smells very friendly and the longevity is more than decent. To those who have plenty of money and demand a lot, one must understand that these are budget perfumes. Still, you can tell it’s good quality, competing against many low-end designers. Look, not all of us can afford the perfumes we dream of, and these alternatives could be someone’s happiness…

It’s an inspiration for ARMAF Club de Nuit but with much less punch. If you’re looking for something cheaper, it’s an option. I don’t think it comes close to the beast, but 🤷🏻♂️

IT IS DEFINITELY A MINOR CLONE OF AVENTUS, JUST SWEETER. MAYBE IT’S FOR YOUNG PEOPLE OR BEGINNERS, AS IT’S BUDGET-FRIENDLY. I BOUGHT IT FOR THE COLLECTION JUST BECAUSE IT HAS MY SURNAME HAHAHA.

Indeed, you can tell there is inspiration from Creed Aventus, but it smells sweeter and of very poor quality. I set it aside because that low quality and sweetness became unpleasant to me. I cannot recommend it at all. The best option on the Creed path is Mercedes Benz Select (it is spectacular).

A low-range Aventus clone, another one. The quality of the nuances and the trail are far inferior, but the longevity is surprisingly decent on my skin. It is precisely in the base notes where it most resembles the Creed original. In its opening and early phases, it smells dirtier and more synthetic. Good price.
