AVENTUS is hard to clone even creed can't do that himself 😂

Aaron is a real professional. Such a joy to follow the analysis and reactions to these clones, and the real deals. A great video!

[@jimiola2781]

Pretty amazing that the way he picked out the real one was from the weakness of the scent. It’s a hard pass for me.

[@bmoneybby]

I'm still laughing.

The weakness wasn’t the only reason why he guessed correct

I sub to a ton of frag channels but you guys seem really cool. Probably a blast to hang out with. Great job on the video and Aaron’s 100% correct with creed not paying attention to customers. I hate my current batches of Aventus. Used to love my old ones. Damn shame

Cheers!

[@Demi1369]

This was just magical to watch! The way he analyzes the composition of each fragrance to determine the authentic fragrance amongst the clones is astounding! As a fragrance enthusiast, I aspire to reach his level of detection some day. Hefty aspiration for sure, but quite an accomplishment if managed. Aaron does set a high bar! 🥰💕

Aaron is really talented but very humble guy, I really enjoy his style of thinking about perfume. Please send him my regards, and thank you for bringing him in!

[@paulwoolgar5384]

Great video, Chris! Always a pleasure seeing the two of you together. One *slight* thing, though: the CDNIM Parfum is not the same juice as the Limited Edition Parfum (which is the one that Aaron reviewed very positively recently). The Limited Edition is noticeably smoother and more 'airy' than the straight parfum.

[@DivineFrag]

Wow - Chris tried to trick poor Aaron and Aaron still got it right haha. Brilliant stuff.

[@MGBlast669]

Awesome video just thought of this today 👍

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Could literally put some lemon pledge under Aaron's nose and it's identical to new batches of Creed, absolutely vile whatever muck they're producing currently. ATH fragrances absolutely wipe the floor with Creed right now, more love and care is directed towards the consumer and everything is done wonderfully and with such a personable attitude.

[@genki2genki]

Love this and you guys are awesome!

[@adelinamiller5667]

Speaking of fragrance longevity, I sprayed a small amount of ATH Luna at 9am yesterday and at 9pm after a whole day at work I walked into my friend's house and was immediately asked what fragrance I was wearing because it was so strong! THAT IS QUALITY

[@lukasmilet2028]

hi chris and aaron. great video. only i was missing is to get ratings aarons usually does and chose his favourite.. for next time maybe.. thanks

[@willmarshall4685]

I learn a lot watching Aaron. I own several clones and I’ve noticed that I can’t pick up much scent on first spray but as the day goes on they start to radiate. But the scent they are radiating is more often than not very simple with one or two notes coming through. This gives me a mall oil vibe. I can buy a bath and body works pineapple oil for around 10 bucks. I’ve found the sweet spot is with Mancera fragrances. They give you that heavy base oil vibe but they smell more sophisticated and well blended than most clone houses. My two cents.

[@ColdComrade]

good job, you're not wrong.

[@theeddld]

I always dig the vids with Aaron. And it's quite a statement that he was able to pick out the...what is a $500 bottle here in the States...by the fact that it wouldn't last long at all.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Great video and you both are amazing. Would love to support Aaron’s brand, but we cant buy his fragrances in Australia yet😔. I have a new metal cap bottle of Aventus and when compared with the 2019 batch, it is much more smokier and lasts longer too. But Like Aaron, I have no idea how the OG’s smelt and so could mean nothing.😊

[@militariacollectablesbelgium]

Aaron is the man of smelling perfume! ❤

[@edgardozara97]

Chris, is it possible to ask Aaron to identify which Aventus take is best be it clone like cdnim or inspired by like Hacivat and include aventus grail batches to determine which dna smells the best or the blend that smells the best version or take on what should be the King's royal blood

[@Cooliewhistles]

Now that’s a damn good video

[@joeS163]

I may be going mad, but I just saw a Jet2 advert on tv, and swear down it’s you doing the voiceover. 🧐

[@LucidAnomalies_]

I have a 2013 W01 batch of Aventus that is really heavy on the birch tar, patchouli and black currant… but the performance on it is pretty insane. The sweet and creamy woody dry down is really quality. Half way through my 4.0oz bottle

[@SteveJarek]

Aaron has been wanting to test an early batch, see if he will review a sample

[@andrewmanzanares6618]

I have a 2021 batch decant and it goes away after 5 minutes on my skin like Aaron mentioned. It smells great in the opening but it QUICKLY fades to a lemony/woody/smoky skin scent that's barely detectable. The clones are MUCH better than current batches and at a way better price point.

[@EliasUlrich1984]

Great video, BTW Aventus in México costs around 8000 pesos, which is quite expensive for its current performance. To give you an idea, that is the monthly salary of a mall security officer before taxes. Saludos mi estimado Aaron!

[@terryhollifield9343]

Cheers, Aaron! Not that anyone needs another Aventus clone, but, to my nose, Montagne Parfums Pineapple Musk is essentially a 1:1 recreation of vintage Aventus.

[@ssj4kevin]

Ashton at Gents Scents did a video a while ago where he had his wife give him a blind test of all his Aventus clones (of which he has many). If I recall he was able to, not only tell which was Aventus, but he also correctly guessed what all the others were as well. I was impressed.

[@veganchiefwarrior6444]

That's cause he literally buys every fragrance and probably just sits in his office sniffing frags all day haha

[@FRAGTASTICO]

F me!!! What a nose! Brilliant job from Aaron. Great video as usual, Chris. This was quite a challenge and as you said, I don’t think someone who doesn’t have a trained nose with raw materials would be able to do this.
