His most complimented
With my ever-blossoming fragrance obsession, I’ve also been slowly trying to get my bf into fragrances. His collection has become a nice mix of freshies, woodies, and a dash of gourmand/sweet scents. But at heart, he is a freshie baby. He loves citruses, fruits, and herbs/aromatics.

Recently and as a way to curate my collection down, I’ve been swapping away some of my frags to get stuff for him. We received this one is a swap and I wasn’t aware that it was a dupe for the infamous Creed Aventus. It’s got a similar note breakdown, but funny enough, this one has much better performance and at a fraction of the cost. It’s much more citrusy, but not in the sharp, cleaning product way, but in a sweet, tangy way (thanks for being so awesome pineapple!!). It still has its woody/smoky base, but it’s not as dry and intense as it is in the OG.

My bf wore it out yesterday and said he’d never been complimented so many times in one EVENING. He said he was breaking necks, having people ask for the name, and just watching him because his trail was so strong and intoxicating. Emperor Extrait is definitely an EXTRAIT because it travels farther and lasts stupidly long.

It was an extremely successful blind swap and I’m very happy to have gotten him this gem. Lowkey, it’s restored my faith in dupes! Definitely check this one out if you’re looking for a great alternative to Aventus!

Nearly spot on
I like pineapple scents & also Aventus.
So i had ta make a try with Emperor extrait!

The opening is a blend between pineapple/lime.. very much lime indeed but its getting more smooth as it dries down. Emperor remeinds me very much about Rasasi pour lui Zebra. But with more quality and better blended.

So how about performance? Well i had higher expectations about Emperor Extrait. Sillage is strong but not as strong a i wanted (5 hours before declining) and longevity about 8-9 hours before it gets into a skinscent.

Worth the hype? Yes i think so even if my expectations was higher.. Emperor is probably the clone with most balance & quality. It,s not a synthetic bomb like CDMi or fading away easily like explorer.

Full bottle is totally different from the sample
I think I was given a bad sample or a sample of a different fragrance, because my full bottle I received yesterday is significantly stronger and more potent than the sample was.

Longevity is very, very good at 8 to 9 hours, with a skin sent lasting almost 24 hours. Projection is moderate for the first couple hours before it becomes slightly closer afterwards. The sillage this stuff leaves is gorgeous, it leaves a beautiful scent trail where you’ve been.

So now the big question, is this better than Aventus? Yes and no. Post 2017? Abso-fucking-lutely, pre-2017? I don’t think so. Before 2017, Aventus still had good staying power and that smoke we all came to love that unfortunately it’s completely gone now. In no way, shape or form, would I recommend buying any current batch of Aventus when this is available. It is objectively a better fragrance in every single way. This is also much better than any version of CDNIM, emperor extrait is worth the extra money.

Swing and a Miss
This is a poor clone, in terms of longevity. I get around 2 hours. Aside from a harsher opening, it's pretty close to the Aventus I bought from a discounter in 2020. But this is supposed to be similar to the glory batches of 2016. So...either I bought a 2016 bottle, which I doubt, since they go for a lot. Or...the 2016 version isn't that different and all the batch stuff is neuroses . Or, this spectacularly fails to emulate what it specifically claims to emulate. I guess all of that could be true. And/or I got a bad batch. Either way, I'm evaluating what's here. And I paid $200 for a 100ml off hype, so shame on me.

not your average Aventus clone
I've seen my fair share of Aventus 'inspired' fragrances, from Vibrant Leather, Rich Leather, London, Explorer and even some versions from Parfums Vintage such as Vanilla Intense, Emperor Napoleon and Gold but this is the one that really nails it.

After sampling so many versions of the Aventus DNA we all know and love you can start to tell the subtleties and appreciate each twist on it so I have grown fond to each version I tried however, when you spray Emperor Extrait you can tell there's a difference right away.
The opening is so bright yet you get that lovely smokiness from Aventus, we all know the scent so I won't go further into details but you can smell the quality here and longevity is just insane.

I love Vanilla Intense but Emperor Extrait is next level.

Excellent spring and summer scent. I've owned Creed Aventus and prefer PV Emperor Extrait. Lasts all day. Compliments all day.

Aventus, is that you? Yes, and I've got my balls back. Some fruit, a lot of leather, and smoke.
PV is now producing very high-quality scents.

By far the best Aventus batch since 2015. Perfectly balanced between fruity and smoky with outstanding longevity of 12+ hours.

Good clone, but nowhere near as high-quality as Aventus. Not really at home in the sought-after price range, otherwise a nice scent.
