Vivamor Navitus Parfums 2020 Parfum

A very crisp opening, with full focus on the pineapple and lemon top notes. Almost thirst inducing. The woody and mossy notes are mostly secondary here. I detected no saffron, but the oakmoss is a key player and comes full throttle during the last phase still allowing those fresher notes to remain dominant. Does it smell like Aventus? While it is definitely in the family, it also resembles Mancera Wind Wood. However Vivamor and Wind Wood runs laps around Aventus, because it simply doesn't last. There isn't much more to say here. It's a very safe, familiar and mainstream offering from this brand. The variation of oakmoss they use here for some reason always has this "Raid-like" effect or that's how I perceive it. On my skin, it was pleasant until the drydown. Vivamor is worth trying if you're looking for another option to weigh against the many Aventus dupes that now exist.
