"Isn't that Creed Aventus?" No, it's not!

TL;DR: Similarities to Aventus in the opening, much fruitier and becomes earthy-green with wonderful oakmoss à la Hacivat in the drydown. Batch problems.

There are several reviews of this fragrance on Parfumo, YouTube and other social media. Yes, SNOI has rudimentary similarities to Creed Aventus, but it goes its own way and, in my opinion, sits exactly between Aventus and Hacivat.
Right at the opening, you are met with a wonderfully fresh, fruity and citrusy start that is reminiscent of Creed Aventus, but much stronger and more intense. Although not listed, I get a good dose of pineapple right at the beginning.
This fruity start leads into a minimally fougère-like heart of musk and lavender. I enjoy this phase, as the fragrance is still easily perceptible and wonderfully distinctive and spicy.
Unfortunately, batch variations are an issue with this fragrance and so I was only able to enjoy the drydown for a short time. Perhaps it used to be a beast, but I only get a light, tepid breeze from the aforementioned Hacivat drydown with its earthy patch, sweet-tart saffron and distinctly green oakmoss.
On me, the fragrance lasts around 8 hours with a noticeable presence in the first 3 hours.
It is very versatile and can be worn all year round thanks to its fragrance profile. It is a little more mature than Aventus in my opinion, so I would rather see this fragrance on men over 25.
When you factor in the affordable price, the fact that it smells high quality and combines two great fragrances, it is definitely recommended and worth every penny.
So why my review title? When I wore this fragrance to the gym, I was asked several times and on different days whether it was Creed Aventus. In my opinion, it's a testament to how well-crafted and high-quality this fragrance is in the air before it sadly becomes skin-deep after a few hours, crawls into the earth and goes to sleep with patchouli leaves and a blanket of moss ;-)

Well, I hope it's just batch problems and not a general reformulation. My batch is so strong, it really pulls the creases out of the bag.

It's the same with mine. I hardly notice anything in the DD.
