Well, lick me
...what a wonder water!!!

I got to know the scent today.
A patient of ours, about 35 years old, went for his examinations through radiology. At first, I thought, wow, Aventus my dear, a bit of overkill, but anyone who can afford Aventus probably doesn’t care anyway.
Since he had several examinations to go through, it wasn't long before not only the entire hallway smelled, but also all the examination rooms and their changing areas that he used.
However, I noticed that it hardly smelled like that California fruity candy pineapple, but birch, apple, and the citrus note were really intense.
Okay, it must be a clone or maybe Elysium, which you’ve only tested twice and also goes in that direction. The sillage from other perfume wearers never seems the same to me as when I wear the scent myself, so it must be one of the better Aventus counterparts, except for Club de Nuit or Explorer, because the citrus note was of too good quality for that.
I had asked my colleague to ask him what he was wearing, but unfortunately, she mistakenly assumed he was not the said scent tree.
It turned out shortly after that she simply hadn’t smelled him, thanks to her FFP3 mask.
He was gone, but I knew where his room was, so I gathered my courage and went to him.
NO JOKE, I would have found him anyway. It had been more than half an hour since he was done with everything, but no matter where I walked, on the way this Aventus opening, mega delicious.
I went in and asked him what perfume he was wearing. He stared at me in confusion, wondering what I wanted from him. After I repeated the question, he said he would show me.
He pulled the bottle from his cabinet, pressed it into my hand, and my confusion was boundless.
The bottle was, first of all, not Aventus, Roja, or one of the more well-known dupes, and secondly, not even nice to look at.
Okay, he just handed me some puddle water because he didn’t understand me.
I turned it a bit in my hand and saw the Adidas logo on the cap.
Never in my life did I think, but a quick check at the spray head, yep, Issa!
It smells terribly synthetic from a short distance, but that doesn’t mean anything.
Gratefully, I took 2 sprays on my arm, setting off again, well aware that he now has just as many question marks floating above his head.
If you don’t hold the spot constantly to your face, the synthetic note decreases with every cm, which can later be distinctly identified as Ambroxan.
Good thing I still wanted to send a scent post, a bit of fresh air always does good for the tormented nose, and indeed, on the way there, I kept encountering that little cloud.
Later, my girlfriend confirmed that the entire hallway smelled like me, even though my arm had been dry for over an hour and a half.
Now, 5 hours later, I can say it’s an Ambroxan-birch mix with a citrus undertone.
I can’t understand the complaints about the performance. An EDT in this price range, you just spray again, done.
It’s still holding up and gets a slight Sauvage twist.

Maybe my nose is just broken, but treat yourself to the next drugstore, secretly spray your companion with it, and let them stroll through the store. You won’t feel this effect on test strips or your own skin.
Sure, in a direct sniff comparison with Aventus, the STRK looks old, but on the next bike ride, I’ll treat myself to it (I’ve already bought it^^) and ride by people with a smile, hopefully causing positive reactions.

Maximally synthetic, but by no means as bad as rated here. I like wearing it for sports and it has been well received so far :-)

Very very sweet and I can't pick out the notes. At most, a teenage scent.

While the newer Adidas fragrances aren't bad, this one is definitely not good.
