Ineffable

Is it spot on. No. Is it wearable, very much Yes. I have 60+ Aventus clones, and this fits squarely in the top 5 or 6 for wear ability. At least it doesn't fall into the dirty patchouli CDNIM catagory that many others do, with that overly synthetic, scratchy opening and drydown. This falls right into the woody Al Haramain L'Adventure series catagory- which is one of the better M.E. options you can get. It has a slight fruity opening, then the woods shine through, with a slight amount of smoke added to the fruit and wood drydown. This has higher quality oils and is smoother to wear and doesn't pick up that sourness that some do in the Mid. Also, keep in mind, that at a price point below a few hundred dollars, this DNA is almost impossible to replicate because the raw materials alone are expensive, and most of the good ones have been banned by the IFRA (believe me, I've tried and have had other professionals try with banned raw materials, and even then the perfumer said it was tricky).

Very woodsy(cedar) smell. Reminds me of Ralph Lauren polo. My husband use this as a layer with Giorgio Armani acqua di gio parfum (earthy and woody)

Smells Divine

I purchased this for my husband as we love Creed but not the price and I think we found something very comparable. The scent is wonderful and long lasting and the packaging is above what I expected. The bottle is boxed in so well I feel comfortable knowing I would never receive a damaged product. Pleasantly surprised!
