L'aventure by Al Haramain Eau De Parfum Spray (L'aventure 3.3 oz)

Product Information

I sprayed in the evening, I worked out in the morning getting sweaty, then showered and I could still smell L'Aventure on my arm! L’aventure and CDNIM both smell like the better batches of Aventus that Creed use to make a few years back which is why I own both of them because It’s like owning 2 different batches of Aventus to me lol I love both of these tho. Its "lemon" top-note actually smells a lot like Aventus pineapple, but then the whole thing dries up and dies off in about 30 minutes max.

take Creed's Aventus, use lemony notes instead of smokey pineapple, and woody/nutty notes instead of a leathery birch note, and you pretty much have L'Aventure; a fresher take on the famed Aventus DNA, minus the spicy notes that some dupes have. This is not a close clone but rather a fragrance that will remind you of Aventus and good to be on its own.After pressing, the juice is transferred into French o It has the most beautiful opening of all the Aventus-y fragrances I own, including Montblanc Explorer. It's got this dark freshly squeezed pineapple feel to it, it has this sweet yet slightly sour opening that is on the darker side. CDNIM has gotten me more compliments than any other fragrance I've worn, and yesterday L'A got a me a few (but those were solicited).

It smells like a resinous branch from a tree in the woods, but still light because of the citrus note. The biggest drawback to this vs Aventus is the harsh top notes but It won’t bother you if you don’t stick your nose to it right away and it won’t smell that way to others so just spray and go. One big advantage of L'Aventure is that it resembles Aventus relatively well at all stages of development (if you ever smelled Club de Nuit opening, you know what I mean).A figure that symbolizes Michelin: close to the public, in perpetual evolution, but remaining faithful to its values.

Projection could have been better and the sillage is not very strong but it last 24 hours on my skin. I sprayed it on my arm and didn’t think much of it and was on my way out, but before I went out, I made my mother smell it and she was blown away with the scent and said it smells than Club De Nuit Intense, I was skeptical. Sure, you get the lemon blast in the top with CDNIM, but soon after comes the great beastly drydown.All in all, a very good clone, albeit no better than CDNI for me personally, aside from the texture, which is MUCH better for me. This beats Club de Nuit Intense Man as a clone on the initial pineapple burst (whereas CDNIM is totally lemon) but CDNIM completely destroys this from about 15 minutes in, all the way until the end. Over the years, they have built close personal relationships with a large number of growers from all appellations. And yes, I have nothing better to do with my time and money other than collect Aventus clones of varying quality. EDIT: I forgot to mention that while I compared many parts of this to Aventus, I agree that it is not an exact clone.
