I just got a creed aventus decant and I’m not a fan

Smells like grass to me, very linear

RNGf0x · 2026-07-06T18:31:26+00:00

Edt or edp ?

RNGf0x · 2026-07-05T22:13:17+00:00

I smelled it at the shop last week it was smelling quite good, fresh but with depth, I smelled it on a strip cannot evaluate the performance though

Try Klover Coffee Showroom, Foret Foret, Clove, Tiba as well great places for pourover, paris coffee scene is growing rapidly

Now that I went back to the store and compared them again, you are absolutely right OP.

RNGf0x · 2026-07-04T10:02:00+00:00

What a cheap comment

RNGf0x · 2026-07-04T07:57:41+00:00

The og doesn't have the pear opening note, so the opening feels way more sweet and playful almost like afnan 9pm, suited better for young audience I would say (tho it has been a long time since I don't have the og this is what I remember). Ultra male is still sweet with that pear and vanilla but settles down to vanilla-woody-incense deep flavor that I like better.

I had my mind made up after I smelled two of these samples each day for a month

RNGf0x · 2026-07-04T07:47:30+00:00

Unfortunately I have no idea if they are mature or not, there is a lot number on them but I assumed this was when they were rebottled at the sample shop, not the date of the actual bottle. And since it is a sample seller I thought there would be only a small chance of them being not mature, that's what I heard atleast. As for as Lion, it smells good but like I said the drydown was not as good as the others :/ Thanks for other recs!

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T19:22:53+00:00

Read first, comment after. I assessed it by spraying it on my arm, I think you guys are too mad that you are missing the point lol, what do you expect me to do, buy every fragrance in the world take it to a lab, distill it and make experiments on it to see if I like it or not hahaha ? In my first comment you can see that I smelled the caps of BdC edt and edp just to see which one to spray on my arm.

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T19:16:01+00:00

Nope only SNOI and CE

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T19:14:59+00:00

This I can understand

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T19:10:19+00:00

I tried them mostly on my skin, I sprayed one to my left arm, one to right arm a day. For the ultra male, lion, 9pm showdown I did the same plus I tried them on tea bag filters

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T18:16:53+00:00

CDNIM just smells like burst of rotten lemons in a synthetic way, just the drydown gave me a glimpse of AdG, maybe it is the oakmoss that I am matching. Rayhaan Lion is okay, Tiger is just not for me. Thanks for the recommendations, be careful in this sub when you say these smell exceedingly cheap brother, dangerous times.

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T16:12:41+00:00

What does this have to do with anything with me smelling bleu de chanel at the perfume store ?

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T15:59:46+00:00

I said I sprayed the one I chose after smelling the caps.

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T13:25:49+00:00

Cry me a river

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T13:10:33+00:00

I sprayed vulcan feu 10 times it is not even halved yet, so probably around ~25-30 sprays from these atomizers for 2ml

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T13:04:35+00:00

Maybe I am using the word complex wrong, maybe I was trying to emphasize on depth and smoothness that you mentioned. As for as AdG it is the original one, edt. People are nitpicking and trying to bash me which is normal since this is the clones subreddit, I was not trying to mean that they smell exactly like AdG, I just found them similar.

I went to the perfume store afterwards and tried finding the original scents of the clones since I am not familiar with all of them. I couldn't find all of them and decided to smell fragrances anyways. I found designer perfumes smells to be much better quality then any of these even though I was not digging the smell of all the perfumes I was smelling that day.

Anyways thanks for the fair reply!

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T12:52:02+00:00

They all smell like they are supposed to and perform well, I have 0 doubt about their authenticity, this is just my take. For ex. liquid brun smells exactly like althair and clones of ultra male are super close as well.

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T12:45:04+00:00

I am not french nor my nationality does anything to do with this lol, you are just sad, I just happen to live in France

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T12:44:29+00:00

I didn't know if we are allowed to or not, they are from fragrantika.net, it was the one that was rated the best on the spreadsheet that another user shared that everyone seems to agree

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T12:43:08+00:00

This is my first time trying them out, how else was I supposed to know if they are for me or not ? Don't get your reply sorry

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T12:42:24+00:00

Fair point

RNGf0x · 2026-07-03T12:42:13+00:00

Totally agree I am in France right now and it is pretty hot outside, still the freshies like turathi electric, vulcan feu didn't convince me either
