Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Avant lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aventus.
Maison Alhambra describes it with black cherry, saffron and pink pepper — a different vocabulary from Aventus's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $25 per 100ml it costs 95% less than Aventus — the 8th cheapest of 71 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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
What it is chasing: pineapple, bergamot and apple up top, birch, patchouli and rose in the middle, oakmoss, musk and ambergris underneath — the shape of Creed Aventus.
Top
- pineapple
- bergamot
- apple
Heart
- birch
- patchouli
- rose
Base
- oakmoss
- musk
- ambergris
For the maker of moments. Smoky pineapple and birch crown oakmoss and musk — the confident benchmark every modern man measures against.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
