Try Imperium from Fragrance World, similar scent profile to Roja Elysium. Even the packaging is similar.

Most, if not all of these Aventus inspired clones just can't replicate the smoky pineapple scent from vintage Aventus batches. Some of these clones don't even have pineapple as a note, although Aventus themselves seemed to also have replaced pineapple with apple and citrus notes in newer batches.

Yup sad to say clones nowadays doesn't really have quality compared to the OG Aventus and it's really sad that Creed reformulated Aventus to the current juice today, it just isn't worth paying the hefty price anymore. I've try most of the clones as well. IMO in terms of the quality i think CDNIM Limited Edition for the price point is the better one in terms of the longevity and dry down but the opening though smooth just isn't the same as Aventus. To me, Mont Blanc Explorer has got the closest opening to Aventus, it's really good but problem is it doesn't last long. I have yet to try Parfums Vintage Pineapple Vintage Intense but i heard really good reviews on that especially the emperor and emperor extrait version. I ordered a bottle which will probably arrive 2 weeks later, will give a review on that once i tested it.

Tiktok seller @scenticasg has Divin Asylum in stock on and off, Going for $50+ irrc, But i don't trust and stay away from anything by Fragrance World/FA Paris as its blantantly obvious they have tons of paid shills on tiktok and youtube promoting every single frag release by them like its the best thing since sliced bread. It actually getting pretty ridiculous.

Not sure where is cheaper but also don't see many sellers carrying the limited edition. I got my bottle from Aurel as well

 

[xennon121]

Dont think there's any other store that sells products cheaper than aurel already selling at a reasonable price alr comparing to Mustafa the pricing is about the same with $1-2 difference for armaf sillage/milestone

Aurel e-shop on shopee. For upcominh 11.11 sale, they have $6 seller coupon so if you stacked with shopee site coupon, its porbably at least $10 cheaper than the listed price on Aurel's website.

I tried the absolutely but no the intensely, but i don't see why is it so hyped up hahah maybe its just me but for me it's a total no. The rum just smells too heavy, i actually hate the drydown lol

Hello all! Am looking for my first fragrance. Will be a daily for school. Currently deciding between ADG profondo and CDNIM. Any idea how to better narrow down to which one?

which CDNIM? Personally having owned both, Profondo for me. My CDNIM EDT has transformed into something that doesn't really resemble Aventus anymore. Starts soury, don't have any pineapple smoky leathery vibes anymore. 06/22 batch

Any interesting brand? So far those airport ones are too common. Some of my lady friends who are older loves less common fragrance. They need that “special and uniqueness”
