Best Dua clone of Aventus, and perhaps one of the best, period
Poseidon’s Elixir 13ZZ (introduced in 2018) is my favorite Dua inspired expression of Creed Aventus to date, based on batch 13ZZ01, specifically. I regard this version as excellently balanced the bright/fresh/fruit and smoky/birch-risk aspects, with a good balance of invigorating freshness and long-lasting depth. While its reputation precedes itself, Aventus is not even among my top Creed scents, but when executed well either by Creed itself or various other interpreters, it’s very versatile and satisfying.

Of course, the Dua inspired expressions of Aventus are not the cheapest, as it (seemingly) is the most duplicate fragrance or line of fragrances out there, with many clones by very, very cheap houses, but I do find that 13ZZ is one of the very best from Dua and in general, so I’d recommend checking it out since it flies a bit under the radar, in my opinion, since the Dua catalogue alone contains many Aventus clones, hybrids, etc. and it can sometimes be difficult to keep up.

Green, tart, fresh!
I'll get straight to the point: the 13zz opens very green, mossy, tart and fresh at the same time, and the comparison to today's Aventus variant is a bit of a misnomer, as this fragrance copies an older fragrance DNA. Here there is not the sporty pineapple opening but more green, delicately spicy, and overall more in the fougère range. I can definitely get something out of the fragrance, even if it is a bit old-fashioned, it smells elegant and fresh, for seasoned men over 40:-)

Good but not good enough
A quite successful clone, which is very close to the Aventus after the drydown.
But: On the one hand, the top note can't keep up with the original, it's not quite there, but it doesn't look as fresh and qualitative as the original. After half an hour, however, a 98 percent Aventus.
Since I've tested 3 different Aventus (2 of them are better), I have to say that I can't fully understand the batchhype, but that's another topic.
The 13ZZ is closer to the skin but still good in durability and sillage, vil. even an advantage because Aventus can sometimes be a bit too intrusive.

The bottle, of course: it couldn't be cheaper, which can be forgiven by a clone, except for the bad atomizer, which even gets dirty from time to time.

Is the purchase worth it? If you consider that 30ml cost 60 dollars and again I think 12 dollars were it dispatched to it comes, one is also here quite clear in the area of the Nichendufte if also not in the upper one. A 120 ml Aventus bottle can be bought from trustworthy retailers without discount code for as little as 285 Euros If you consider the much more valuable flacon, the existing packaging in contrast to Duas and the fact that Creed has created the fragrance and an original is always a bit more expensive, not only for perfumes, I come to the conclusion that 252 dollars are not far enough away to choose the clone.
The situation is different for customers in the USA, where Creed charges much higher prices than in Europe. Probably also with a reason that this clone house is hyped there so strongly.

Still a nice fragrance, especially for people who spray it less often and a 30ml bottle lasts long enough.
