I know exactly what you mean by Explorer. One time I tried it on my arm with another fragrance on my other arm and couldnt smell it at all. But I now have explorer and by itself it smells really good. Smelling Aventus made you nose blind to it because explorer is a lot more subtle

Great job, your take on Explorer was accurate IMO. Zara Vibrant Leather and Vibrant Leather Oud are pretty good for about $30.00. Thanks for the Banana Republic recommendation. I will definitely go hunting for it.

When I talk about Black Walnut Legend on the channel I always say this! It’s the closest to Aventus that I’ve smelled. Changes a bit later but the opening is almost identical. Nice vid!

Hi Erica Al Haramain L'Aventure is a nice clone and not that expensive. I Had Aventus and I love it but it's just not worth the price IMO. 2 Beautiful women testing men's fragrances, it doesn't get any better than that! ❤💕❤

I bought Aventus 2 years ago from Bloomingdale’s, I was disappointed in the lack of performance. I do think Explorer has great performance, smells like the fruitier batch of Aventus, Also have CDNIM EDP and EDT, they are the smokier batch clones imho. There is one that performs beastly, Al Haramain L’Venture, lasts 12 + hours on my skin. Great vid, wishing you the best and much success 👍

Explorer isn't a clone it's an inspired by fragrance. I'd try another sample that's by far no where near what it smells like. I get no alcohol at all from the two bottles I've already owned and that bottle didn't look legit at all. Great content as always 🤩

Yo thanks! Aventus is amazing.. and expensive. I have the Explorer…you must have got a wonky sample…the one I have is def not as light as yours. I did not know about the Black Walnut Legend…and I just found some…gonna try it soon. Also thanks for pointing out to get the LEGEND… I’m an airhead, and I know I would have picked up the wrong one . ✌️

CDNIM EDP is sooooo much better then the OG CDNIM EDT. The new Aventus just smells of citrus woods n took the smoke note out. That’s why we all love CDNIM EDP cause of the Smokey note in it. CDNIM EDP tones down the lemon opening the CDNIM EDT has so its much smoother n more like 2011 2012 Aventus we men miss so much.
