Emperor Extrait Parfums Vintage 2018 Extrait

... kratos said to Zeus and fought to the bitter end.

So or so similarly I perceive Emperor Extrait of Parfums Vintage in comparison to Creed Aventus, a comparison that almost imposes itself.
Aventus on the one hand by many, of course also by me, absolutely idolized, a fragrance that lives forever from its image, be it the constant batch discussions or the numerous dupes,
but today is to be about Emperor Extrait which is metaphorically then represented by Kratos, who has no divine status to begin with.

Parfums Vintage is a perfume house from Great Britain which has specialized mainly in the cloning of well-known fragrances, especially Aventus with various batches
Preliminary, I collect since late 2019 fragrances and have then also bought my Aventus and can only refer to this in a comparison, but it is also far too mystical for me to deal with Aventus batches. It is simply indifferent to me, because one I would not be the type of the ready to spend a lot of money on something what perhaps my expectations for the vast sums one would have to spend would not meet.
To the fragrance:

The opening is already a battle of fruity notes, especially the dominant pineapple against the very nice patchouli musk base, which from the beginning gives the fragrance its smoky character. The pineapple is the main actor of the fragrance in the first 2 hours.

In the drydown finally joins a great pear note, for me the most beautiful part of the fragrance, simply unbeatable in combination with the smoky base, which also makes Aventus.
The eternal twist is just what I like so much, I don't know what I like better but you get both for a very long time, very homogeneous.

The fragrance eventually fades out with the smoky character.
About the performance:

The durability is with me about 10-12 hours, Sillage is pretty good, no Beastmode, rather always very well present, but still radiates very well from the skin, just typical of Extrait de Parfum.
He is a little less power than Aventus initially, hälte but longer.
To the packaging:

Well, the fragrance comes in a very nice looking, albeit equally plain box.
3 out of 10 points.
To the conclusion:
I like the word clone in relation to this fragrance is, even though it is obviously one.
It is a fragrance for Aventus lovers, which absolutely does not have to hide, on the contrary, it is for me both from the quality and DNA on a par.
With Aventus you also buy the brand name, here not.
The Emperor Extrait had to prove itself with me also first, because no less than Aventus itself was the measure and he has with bravura.

Just as in the end Kratos, who is a demigod, Zeus struck down the father of the gods,
so too, in the end, Emperor Extrait is my narrow winner.
