The review

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

The Essence Vault 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 $32 per 100ml it costs 94% less than Aventus Cologne — the 2nd cheapest of 13 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 The Essence Vault 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 Aventus Cologne is working from.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • bergamot
  • ginger

Base

Aventus's smoky pineapple lightened into a zesty ginger-citrus daytime version.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
