In terms of price/performance, far superior to the original!!!!!
I have tested several Aventus clones. Until now, my favorite was Insurrection 2 Pure. It smells like a very fruity Aventus batch and, for a fragrance priced at 20-25€, it smells very luxurious and well-crafted. However, the sillage and longevity are in the lower middle range, which is simply not an option for me. Insurrection also smells a bit synthetic, but for a 20€ fragrance, it's within a really acceptable range. I became aware of more Aventus clones through YouTube. Among them: Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man and L'Aventure. I decided to test L'Aventure first, as Club De Nuit Intense was described as quite smoky, and I prefer the fruity Aventus batches. And what can I say? L'Aventure simply smells fantastic. The opening is very citrusy. The strong lemon masks the wonderful scent for a few minutes, which slowly emerges from the lemon peel. Now, the elemi resin gradually blends with jasmine and lily of the valley. The whole thing has a slightly sweet scent. I suspect the slight sweetness comes from the lily of the valley and jasmine. This light sweetness mixes with the fresh and slightly sour lemon and the subtly smoky and slightly spicy elemi resin. This mixture is now laid on slightly damp, earthy wood. After a while, the remaining base notes come in. Amber adds a slight oriental and soft component to the fragrance. Musk forms a sweet base that connects with the woody and earthy notes of the perfume. The fragrance has a consistently sweet and at the same time woody-fresh scent mixed with a bit of smoke and some spices, along with a hint of powder.
Despite the fact that I describe the scent as sweet and even slightly powdery, it smells thoroughly masculine. After about 20 minutes, the fragrance has developed into its full glory and then becomes slightly drier during the dry down. Towards the end, the sweet, fresh, and powdery notes almost completely yield to the woods.
The fragrance has excellent longevity. On my skin, I easily achieve 7-8 hours, and on clothing, it lasts for days, and even if you haven't sprayed it again, it can still be detected from time to time.
The sillage is also very strong. Especially in the first 2-3 hours, you will definitely stand out in closed rooms. After that, it is not as strong, but people who are near you (I mean at a distance of 1-2 m) will still catch a whiff of you and roll their eyes in delight, of course ;)
This brings us to the compliment factor, which is certainly not irrelevant for us men. For the ladies, it is certainly no different, as people generally like to be confirmed that they smell good.
I receive compliments for this fragrance repeatedly, from both men and women. They all love the scent. Some of my male friends have already wanted to buy it for themselves, and the women find it irresistible and sexy. I've heard several times how damn good I smell. Even a very good friend, who only complimented me once on Dior Homme Intense and never again, commented as I walked past her with the following words: "Okay, that really smells damn great, what is that?"
And even women who come physically closer to you won't be able to stop smelling you ;)
In comparison to Aventus: Yes, it is a fragrance that can be said to be a copy/a clone. However, for me, it is not a clone. Yes, it is indeed very similar. In my case, I would say only about 80%. The masculine and sexy vibe that Aventus has is also present in L'Aventure. Nevertheless, it has a definitive individuality for me and smells different from Aventus. This is due to the fact that L'Aventure does not have a fruity pineapple and is not as strongly smoky. In classification, many describe it as fruity, but for me, it is in no way so. Perhaps some people confuse this with the sweet musk, combined with amber and the slightly floral notes. During the dry down, it does become more similar to Aventus, so that in the end, we probably reach a similarity of 90%. If you want even more similarity to Aventus, then buy a little good pineapple fragrance oil and mix a few drops into L'Aventure when you put it in a spray bottle.
For me, it's a brilliant fragrance that makes it 100% unnecessary to spend so much money on Aventus. Here, supposed perfume experts can criticize all they want. A quality difference is certainly present, but none that would make it necessary to spend 150€ for 50 ml of Aventus and not even 50€ for double the amount, that is, 100 ml of L'Aventure.
Absolutely an amazing compliment getter and a great fragrance for going out. You will find yourself smelling it throughout the day and not getting enough of it. Elegant, sexy, and masculine.

And the sillage and longevity are really top-notch and in my case, not worse than Aventus at all. Only in summer, Aventus has that sexy pineapple vibe that’s a bit better than this one.
