Brasilia

The review

Strong contender. That is where Brasilia lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aventus.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aventus'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 — the 57th cheapest of 71 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.
