Solid Aventus clone with weaknesses
Experience with L'Aventure: 100ml bottle almost completely exhausted, worn in autumn 2017 and spring/summer 2018
Immediately after spraying, citric notes dominate, especially the bergamot stands out. Unfortunately, it is a sweet-synthetic bergamot that reminds me more of effervescent powder than of the real fruit. In short: the first 10-15 minutes are the biggest weakness of this perfume, then it gets much better fast.
As soon as the woody notes and the musk from the heart and base join in, L'Aventure clearly goes in the direction of the great model Aventus. Even if the note pyramid does not contain a birch, there is a smoky note in the background, typical of Aventus; it remains unclear to me where it comes from. Another note typical for Aventus, the pineapple, is missing (strangely enough) as well. The combination of citric notes and elemi resin comes close to a pineapple note, but the famous fruity-true Aventus pineapple is never reached.
The performance of L'Aventure is good to very good, but not any more. The direct competitor CDNIM is clearly in the lead, but due to the extreme smokiness it may also be more suitable for other occasions. L'Aventure can easily be worn as an everyday working fragrance, with CDNIM I think you should be more careful. The bottle looks very chic, but looks cheap when touched and lies badly in the hand.
Conclusion: Opening terrible, then a super everyday fragrance with solid performance. There is a similarity to Aventus, but the (real) pineapple note is missing. Price/performance is top.
