As an owner of the original Aventus, I was extremely positively surprised.
The opening is much more citrusy but the rest is almost identical.

Really a very good dupe.

There are days when the original lasts hardly longer than 2 hours. Sometimes all day.
Dark Cedrus performs almost identically. Slightly worse. But for the price?

At the end of the scent trail, it feels less deep and "rich" but that doesn't make the fragrance any worse.

Absolute no-brainer / blind buy if you find it anywhere. Highly recommended.

A very masculine, fresh, spicy, deep scent. I like it a lot.

I use it in everyday life or whenever I feel like it.

Go for it!

Over 20 years ago, Sculpture Homme Eau de Toilette was my all-time favorite. I thought I had outgrown it, but the new fragrance from Simone has simply enhanced this flavor and made it more mature.

To begin with, I am actually a fan of aquatic scents. The sweetness in this fragrance is not aquatic at all. But due to the perfect balance, the scent smells exactly how I imagine it.

Even the vanilla, which is more noticeable at the end of the day, doesn't bother me here. Ah yes. Vanilla is a no-go. Here, it works.

Hats off to this masterpiece. I already endlessly celebrate "Silver Marble | Simone Andreoli." Kite in Crystal Reef fits in seamlessly.

The scent is easily perceptible on my dry skin for over 8 hours. On clothes? Even after washing, you can still smell a bit of the perfume / nectar.

Give it a try. On the skin. Some will love it, others will not.

I wear it during the day and also enjoy it in the evening. Since the fragrance hasn't been around for long, I've only tried it for a few days.

I am already a fan :)

For the price of €14 for 150ml, we shouldn't expect anything great. I thought. But the scent really blows me away.

A great fresh aquatic for everyday use, the office, or sports. Soft fresh fragrance. Not much spice, in my opinion. But yes, it supports the summery idea of a beach vacation.

It is very subtle and not overpowering. Unfortunately, also a bit too shy.

After 10 sprays, there's nothing left to smell after an hour. Still detectable on clothes, but only if you get close.

Despite everything, you really can't go wrong here. I would have liked the scent to last longer, but well. You can't have it all :)

Once again, I looked for perfume shops in a foreign city and found one with niche fragrances.

This store had completely new brands, allowing me to update myself and my nose.

I got stuck on this scent Cap d'Antibes.
After an hour on the skin, it was still so good that I treated myself to it.

At first, the scent starts off very fresh and somehow aquatic. Very nice. The mint and violet harmonize very well, even though I'm not a fan of flowers.

By the way: Cinnamon only works in fragrances to a limited extent, but here it has a good quality. It supports the heart note and really reflects a certain spiciness. Less cinnamon-y. Thank goodness. I find the moss super. Greenish but just exactly my style.

Base note: just as a note: I hate vanilla in perfumes.

Here, the incense overpowers the vanilla. It is still noticeable, though. But let me put it this way:
For a going-out scent, it's actually just right.

After about 6 hours, the scent was unfortunately already gone from me. Although my skin isn't really perfect.

The "freshness" remains very noticeable for about 3-4 hours. After that, everything quickly fades into the base note, and then the fresh scent becomes more of a deep gourmand scent.

I don't have anything like this yet, and I'm cool with it.

Give it a try. I think it's an all-rounder. Neither a specific summer nor autumn/winter scent.

Occasions as mentioned: everyday and going out / dining out.
Better not for sports.

I'm satisfied with my 30ml bottle and will wear the scent on selected occasions :)

This is a gentleman's scent. It feels like a super expensive (ok, it really is) shower gel. But it doesn't come off as cheap.

By no means is it a typical fresh or aquatic fragrance. It's a mix of everything. Although my perception may not be entirely accurate.

The opening is fresh and briefly resembles a "green" version of Chrome Eau de Toilette. However, it remains green. But not mossy. More of a fresh green.

The slightly floral notes (and believe me, I usually don't like that at all) work perfectly here. They soften the fragrance and underline the statement: I'm here without shouting.

The scent is not loud. But it is noticeable.

It was a spontaneous purchase - after wearing it a few times, I find the fragrance simply brilliant.

If you want to feel more upscale, you can wear the perfume in everyday life. But it is certainly better suited for something special.

Great perfume. Unfortunately, the price is more than proud.
