If you like Aventus and are looking for a solid alternative, you are definitely in the right place. Unfortunately, I have to say that when I tried to compensate for the slightly shorter longevity with more sprays, I got a severe headache - probably due to the high alcohol content. So: definitely do not overspray
The pineapple really kicks in at the beginning. Once it calms down a bit, the scent becomes very citrusy and smoky. So, anyone expecting a 1:1 Aventus right from the opening will be disappointed at first.
But: As soon as it reaches the drydown, things look different - Aventus says hello. It really takes its time, but with a little patience and without overdoing it with the spraying, you will definitely enjoy it.
I have also often read that the EDP comes even closer to the original - based on this impression, I can well imagine that it is true. Nevertheless: For the price, it's really top-notch.
