Sweetie ≠ Better

So the first impression was immediately negative. That's probably because I read the comments here first.

The prelude:
i have never had the association WC-stone in any Aventus Dupe, even if I have read this before... This is where it happened. Maybe because I expected the same pineapple as Aventus. Unfortunately, no. Only citrus and that quite penetrating.
But well, I didn't like CDMI at all in the beginning, especially the prelude, only when I used it in winter I started to like it a lot, even the strange synthetic note at the beginning didn't bother me anymore
After 15-20 minutes the citrus was gone and the smell was about zebra + some sweetness. After another 10 minutes the intensity of the sweetness increased, so that one could now speak of vanilla.
From that moment on, the scent was also quite pleasant for me. All in all but somehow not round.

After about 2h the scent was only skin-tight.

Evaluation:
i must say that while I was writing down the thoughts, my evaluation has changed a little (to the positive).
Even if I personally don't like the scent, the scent is "technically" beautiful, it develops, you notice the changes. But if you compare the fragrance with Aventus, it doesn't do very well. (assuming you like Aventus). Compared to Zebra and CDMI, I find the other two better.

CONCLUSION:
Without the prelude good, sweetish-harsh scent with bad H/S.
