I Bought Every Popular Creed Aventus Clone, So You Don't Have To | Mens Cologne/Perfume Buying Guide

I really like this video idea. As someone who doesn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars trying out various different clones to find out which one will work, getting a breakdown of what each one does well is super helpful. Would love to see similar videos for other fragrances that are commonly cloned (GIT for example).

There's an Intense flanker to L'Aventure that's really nice. Balanced between on the smoky-fruity spectrum but has great longevity and projection. The Pineapple Vintage line is quite interesting: They try to clone the spectrum of batch variations and is supposed to be the best quality out of any of Aventus clones, although they're not cheap.

[@tommymom100]

How does it differ from the original?

[@craigdjones1978]

Just bought that from a recommendation from another channel. Awesome for the price

[@Carnivore.A.J]

Not Only Intense got me the most compliments. It’s smells bit deeper and more fruity than the CDNI Edp. Think it’s because of the Extrait the Parfum. CDNI Edp smells fresher and more smoky than Noi. I like both of them i think performance is absolutely Beastmode. I can’t tell wich one performs better. Sillage on Noi is pervert 🤣 I remember one day at the grocery store. A Russian family followed my sillage until they find me just to ask me what I wear. I didn’t own the Montblanc Explorer I tried it once and to be honest with you I wasn’t impressed by it’s performance, the quality was not on the same level as the other 2 and it didn’t last long enough for me to buy it. But I think it’s maybe the better fragrance for you if you work in a small room. One day my boss asked me if i can spray less of my fragrance next time it was too strong for his nose and he was like 4 feet away talking to me. I wore CDNI 4 Sprays and i work in a big hall. Right now i prefer the CDNI more because of it’s freshness. Gets me compliments to and i wore NOI so much that i need a small brake from it.

Then next one is Reyane Insurrection II (not sure about the number), the one in the white bottle.

I had a strange experience with Cedrat Boise. I bought a sample and was super excited, but when I finally sprayed it on I got a sort of gasoline smell behind the citrus accords. I thought maybe it was just my nose but I had a coworker smell it on my arm without me saying anything about my thoughts and they said the SAME thing “it kind of smells like gasoline” and I let another friend of mine wear it and the sillage was fruity and nice off of him. I’m not sure if it just doesn’t work on my skin or if it just smells better in the air like Aventus does, but I usually just wear Explorer when I don’t want to waste sprays of my vintage bottle of Aventus, and I get better reactions with that than my sample of Cedrat Boise, in fact I’ve found that Explorer is one of my most complimented fragrances out of my 100 bottle collection.

If you’re on a budget then you can’t really go wrong with armaf cdnim edt or edp once you get past the opening but if you have $50-60 to spend don’t even bother with either of those go straight for the Limited edition parfum not to be confused with their limited edition pure parfum oil. The limited edition parfum is the pinnacle of the line in my opinion it’s smooth smoky and everything aventus used to be and it blows the creed out of the water performance wise like most of these clones worth mentioning. Once I’m threw with this old bottle of aventus ive had for years I’ll never buy another the new samples I’ve bought don’t have the same character or anywhere near the longevity as you alluded to.

If you wear Hacivat in public expect women to approach you and ask what you’re wearing, where you got it and how much it is (happened to me a dozen times). Cedrat Boise is my weekend easy wear. Big time Saturday afternoon vibes.

the smokiness of cdnim u mentioned is about edt or edp ?

[@K4inan]

​@@의국황충 The smokiness is why you get an aventus clone...

[@richv7749]

Hi Omar. Thanks for these comparisons. I just received decants of Armaf CDNIM EDT and Cedrat Boise. At first I thought they were the same samples as I purchased them from the same person.

[@markus8222]

CDN limited edition is incredible. I get compliments every time I wear it

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

What about cdnim edt? Is that still great?

[@oleberlin5394]

@@oleberlin5394 which version is better regarding sillage /projection? Edp or edt? Or limited edition where I can't even find anywhere?

[@ThinWhiteDuke2007]

I've just bought Creed Aventus, it's an amazing scent, but performance is not good. Why do these fragrance houses, reformulate their signature scents? Does not make scents(see what I did there?) Great video!

[@hworth3]

Great list. Michael Malul has Jetblack Intense which is also very similar to it. I wear that and Hacivat.

[@andrejb.8187]

Awesome vid, i was searching for something like this! Since i ran out of Mont Blanc Explorer i'm looking for a new aventus clone, so this overview really helps. I also heard that Loewe Essencia EDP is supposed to be a rather high quality clone with a nice smelling opening, instead of the possibly harsh clones. Would you make a Review about this one as well? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thank you and will definitely try it!

[@asmoov]

Great job very informative

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thanks!

The Best Clone for me comes from Success Pur Parfum called ''Adonis'' It's also a Extrait de Parfum -> Beastmode Performance, never smelled a better one.

[@AlexSchulzofficial]

Aventus was my signature scent for maaaaany years. I got tons of compliments for it! I also have all clones and inspired by aventus fragrances in my collection. And now i finally found the old smokey aventus again. It is „Club de Nuit“ Limited Edition. Everytime i wear that scent i get a compliment. I bought 10 bottles now for backup, because it will be more expensive soon when the hype starts. Because in the dry down you will get the old aventus from 2015 again.

[@ahmadfaisal698]

respect for 10 bottles bought ser 💯

[@BarAlexC]

Having tested samples of CDNIM: EDT, EDP, Pure Parfum and Limited Edition for about a week now, I can say that PP and LE are the same juice. 100% agree on the drydown. It's 100% old Aventus. Smooth AF smelled up close. No trace of those synthetic EDT compounds (that, to my nose, never fade away). EDP, like EDT is good in the air, but smelled up close is bad. gonna test more, but EDP seems to perform worse than EDT for some reason (maybe batch problems?)

[@jormungandr7885]

I can't seem to find the ltd edition anywhere :(

[@BarAlexC]

@@jormungandr7885 Pure parfum is identical to LE. I tested them side by side about 5 times now. They smell the same (and also develop the same on skin) and they perfom identically. No clone, that I smelled so far, touches the pre 2019 batches of Aventus that I had (opening+dry down+performance), but, to me, PP/LE is a decent replacement if you're not gonna have your neck sniffed up close within 3-5h after applying (after that, it gets smooth that I'd not be able to tell it apart from Aventus). The first 3 hours are meh (classic CDNIM chemical synthetic smell, less so than EDT and EDP), but after that it gets smoother and smoother. I just ordered a full bottle of PP, after smelling the cuff of jacket I wore a week prior, when I sprayed 2 sprays of PP on the wrist. If I didn't know, I'd believe it was Aventus. Try to find a store that sells samples and see what works best for you. Hunting a clone for Aventus made me realise how different we are (some claim certain clones are "95% Aventus", while I smell a completely different scent). If you know what LE smells like, I'd say you can blind buy the PP, as it's the same juice (dunno about batches and stuff, tho).

[@MA-js6hd]

@@BarAlexC Hey mate thanks for your tips/explanation. Ive had the edt which I loved but I upgraded after the edt to edp and got disappointed because I liked the smoke/birch note more on the edt, it was more present. The smoke note in the edp lasts longer in the drydown but far on the background. Is the smoke note stronger and more present in the PP? If not I'll just go back to edt Thanks in advance! P.s. im not able to decant otherwise I wouldve done so

Just in Spain on holidays, woman in parfum shop made me try Spanish brand Loewe, after 5 minutes i came back to her and ask her is that like Creed aventus? smelled similar but much more pleasant to nose, try it

[@mamad504]

Yeah that's Loewe Esencia. I really like it as well.

[@loso6940]

The best club de nuit to get is the limited edition parfum It's better than the two cdnit you mentioned.

[@dragoivanov568]

And for really, I mean really cheap clones: Cuba Millestone - 5 GBP fruity Aventus with moderate performance. Jaguar Ultimate Power - 5 GBP for tester bottle in Bulgaria. Citrusy smelling Aventus. Also moderate performance.

[@cheesychester9647]

Ah wish you could have tried the CDNIM Limited Parfum, it's the closest of the line. Great video tho Omar

[@nathankayanirad3835]

How would you compare the club de nuit intense man limited edition version to these other clones?

[@K4inan]

It's the best one, it's like a 2016 bottle of Aventus.

[@Crazypitbull16]

Which one would you choose if you could only pick 1?
