Too late and too close for the big time

Writing a review of Aventus Cologne without mentioning the omnipresent big brother in every second sentence is probably a bit like describing Ralf Schumacher's career in Formula 1 without mentioning his big brother Michael.

Evil tongues could be inclined to claim that the existence of the career of the one just by the colossal success of the other was only possible.
I refrain from any speculation in this regard, of course.

But back to the matter at hand.
Aventus Cologne will probably never even begin to experience the success story of its big brother. On the one hand, it is simply because many consumers the
"a perfume that everyone finds so great" want to have and on the other hand but also because Aventus Cologne is simply no milestone (more). For this, certain similarities to the well-known original and of course to the various clones existing before Aventus Cologne are too obvious.
To the shadowy existence probably also contributes the unflattering name, which probably makes many inclined customers think of a watered-down original.
The marketing department could have gone here also a little more creatively to the work.

Similar and then yet different, so I personally feel this fragrance.
The DNA is felt to 60% the same and is of course based on the same high-quality natural components.
Main differences are the lack of the popular pineapple as well as the smoky.
Aventus Cologne is sharper, tangier extremely dry. Just somehow fresher summery...

Just that dryness latently reminds of Nishane Hacivat or even Bvlgari pour Homme Extreme.
The common thread here would be oakmoss, which occurs in both mentioned but at least officially in Aventus Cologne no use finds....but what does that mean ;-)

Not to blaspheme now but Aventus with a dash of D&G Light Blue comes to mind.

All in all, Aventus Cologne is an excellent fragrance for me. High quality and fantastically composed. For me currently even better contemporary and modern than the original.
Had it been granted to appear before his big brother, it could have been a real star.
Since the question of the hen or the egg in this case but simply does not arise, it will probably remain the flanker that it is just.
In itself fantastic but too little revolutionary, too close to the big star to still be able to provide real sensation.

The eternal fate of younger siblings of absolute exceptional talents.
