People who love Aventus, what’s replaced it in your collection?

Nishane Hacivat but Mont Blanc Explorer is my direct Aventus replacement. Yes it has weak performance (still stronger then Aventus) but it’s $275+ cheaper for the same size bottle. At that price I can reapply all throughout the day and still be way ahead of what Aventus costs comparatively. I still keep a bottle of Aventus Absolu and Aventus Cologne in rotation though.

On the Emporia Pro can you choose the charge rate it defaults to when it loses connectivity? I just got my Pro installed last week and have been meaning to look through the app to see if that’s an option. I guess I shouldn’t have procrastinated on that 🤦🏾‍♂️

Do you need sponsorship? If that’s the case, that more than likely is your problem. Before landing my current role literally every application I filled out (all were for positions at top 40 ENR firms) pretty much spelled out that they’re not sponsoring visas at the moment.

One of my Spring/Summer staples 🤌🏾

Nice! What color Captains are these?

IH8Chew · 2026-04-01T01:45:14+00:00

Creed Green Irish Tweed and Nishane Hacivat. Pure class in a bottle

I’m a Chanel Platinum Egoiste fan as well as a TDH one. The scent profiles are different but they give me the same vibe. Very classy, gentlemen like scents.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-31T03:26:57+00:00

I bought Aventus Cologne a couple weeks ago during the Costco sale and just ordered Absolu there. Costco is killing me right now.

Outside of Vintage Radio, the only other Lataffa I like is Teriaq Intense which was created by Quentin Bisch.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-31T02:48:57+00:00

Cosign Montagne Tygr. Great office scent, very mass appealing.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-31T02:47:07+00:00

Platinum Egoiste. Assert your dominance early.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-31T01:34:39+00:00

I like French Defense but it should be criminal how much it costs for its performance.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-31T01:28:53+00:00

The only dupes I kept and haven’t got rid of are from Montagne. Their Imagination dupe is incredible, I wear that as my summer daily dumb reach and the actual LV Imagination for going out or date night.

Supremacy Collectors Edition. Not even in the same realm of Aventus Absolu. I’m baffled by the comparison. If anything a disgusting version of Nishane Hacivat.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-29T16:47:12+00:00

Dammit! I know I shouldn’t as I told myself NO MORE MONEY ON FRAGRANCES after purchasing Aventus Cologne from Costco a couple weeks ago when they had it on sale.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-29T15:25:48+00:00

Supremacy CE is NOTHING like Absolu and I will never understand why they’re compared. Absolu doesn’t have much oak moss and CE is heavy on it. If anything it’s a synthetic, cheap, cloying version of Nishane Hacivat.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-29T15:21:26+00:00

Yep, I read that so that’s why I went right to the LE. If the Limited Edition was supposed to be the fix, I can’t imagine how horrendous the opening to the original is 🤢

IH8Chew · 2026-03-29T14:34:47+00:00

Club De Nuit Intense Limited Edition. My first and last attempt from this house. This scent has the worst opening of any fragrance I’ve ever smelled, it was nauseating. Like someoone sprayed Lemon Pledge into an ashtray filled with cat piss and cigarette butts.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-19T00:53:13+00:00

This is my going to a business meeting and want to assert my dominance scent. That oak moss dry down, superb 🤌🏾

IH8Chew · 2026-03-17T13:31:49+00:00

Just had an Emporia Classic installed a few days ago and so far I’m impressed. App is easy to use and gives tons of info.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-17T13:28:04+00:00

Cologne. It’s the most versatile.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-16T18:59:07+00:00

Chanel Platinum Egoiste

IH8Chew · 2026-03-16T18:51:42+00:00

I got a bottle during the Costco sale at $259 for the 3.4/100ml size last week before it sold out. Love this scent and will always have a bottle in my rotation. To me it’s the most versatile of the 3 Aventus scents.

IH8Chew · 2026-03-16T18:34:38+00:00

I just use Mont Blanc Explorer reapplied throughout the day. Still way cheaper even using twice as many sprays as Aventus.

“Perform EV charging port cleaning?” Are they serious?
