The analysis
Buy the dupe. Of Creed Aventus's 9 notes Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man carries 6: pineapple, blackcurrant and smoky birch. Missing: oakmoss. Without oakmoss, Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man's drydown ends somewhere else. Plus bergamot and ambergris, which Creed Aventus doesn't list. Longevity runs its way: 8.1 to Creed Aventus's 7.3. That is 9% of Creed Aventus's price — $44 against $495.
From a fragrance specialist
The cologne that smells most like Creed Aventus is Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man — and honestly, it's the best dupe I've tested for this site. It smells so close to the real thing that it beats some recent batches of the original.
I'll be straight with you: of every dupe I've put on this site, this is the one I'd recommend hardest. It opens fantastic — that smoky-pineapple Aventus signature is right there — and the projection is impressive, staying intense for the first two hours before it settles closer to the skin, with six to eight hours total on me. If you love Aventus, buy this before you drop $400 on the original; you're not losing much but the price.
