The review

On paper, Brasilia Cologne is a strong bet if you want Aventus Cologne for less.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aventus Cologne's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as a cologne, a lighter concentration than most originals.

At $110 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Aventus Cologne — the 10th cheapest of 13 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on pink pepper, bergamot and ginger, turns to apple, patchouli and vetiver, and settles into musk, sandalwood and vanilla. That is the brief Brasilia Cologne is working from.
