    It’s a re-interpretation of Aventus by Jerome Epinette, denser, with more leather and sweetness. In my opinion, it surpasses the original. Later, Jerome released Vibrant Leather Extreme for Zara, which is identical but at a ridiculous price. I wouldn’t pay for Morning Chess, but with Zara you get the same scent and niche quality.

  2. Morning Chess is Vilhelm’s version of Aventus. It smells rich, but like the original, it lasts and projects very little. It seems like a joke to check that niche houses sell these colognes for over €200 with lamentable performance, trying to sell you the idea that it’s a personal treat. A total disappointment.
