L'Aventure Intense

Trying both the original and intense versions side by side. There is a difference. After hearing some speculation whether or not the regular and intense were the same thing but repackaged or some other nonsense I can happily say, you WILL be able to tell them apart side by side. I wish they made the bottle black or done something a bit more to tell them apart. It feels like when you go to a 90s yard sale and someone put prices on everything with a label maker. Alright you know Aventus DNA, He does, she does, her mother knows it. What's the difference? The "standard version" has a more lively citrus, When I smell it up close on my wrist it can get a bit sour. The "intense version" is darker, the citrus is more refined instead of going all over the place. The citrus has this almost spicy quality to it with a sweet undertone. It's got more depth as well. By the dry down I am very slightly reminded of Dior Homme 2020 so to me that's a good thing. Either way Intense is better scent to me. Both are really nice fragrances. You'll surely get complements from considering there's what feels like 9999999 copies of Aventus so they must be doing something right.. However. Intense would be my pick if I was in a perfume store and I got to smell both on different wrists. Up close you will tell them apart. However I feel most won't be able to when you're out in public, walking by someone. Most won't be able to if you had the "standard" or "intense" version on. It feels updated where they took something I didn't like about the standard L'Adventure and improved on it as that was a huge reason I never bothered buying my own bottle of L'Adventure was the sourness up close. Even if my brother didn't bathe in two 100ml bottles of the standard version over the past 5 years and it wasn't a new fragrance sort of excitement I'd still prefer intense. longevity and projection felt about the same. To me it's like L'Adventure 2 or something. I would not buy this expecting double the performance of an already beast mode (to me anyways) fragrance. Put some scent free lotion on before you spray the place(s) and or double the sprays if you want the fragrance to be twice as loud and long lasting. If not drink plenty of water. There's plenty of tricks to get fragrances to last longer assuming we're not nose blind to them. You know you're doing it right when your neighbors knock on your door. Is it worth owning both? I'd say no. They aren't $200-400 overpriced niche fragrances so if you're a collector go for it. Only one L'Adventure I haven't liked of the 4 I've tried so far and that's the standard white version for men.

I bought this after much research. I spent some time in the Middle East and have found that they have some lesser known gems in the fragrance world. And the price point is a good buy. My nose makes out the upfront citrus of the bergamot and lemon with woody notes. It is a very nice Summer and warm weather fragrance and very work safe. For me the performance isn't as up to par as the voting suggests. I only get a few hours before I need to reapply and the sillage is just moderate for me. I have heard it is compared to Aventus. I have never smelled Aventus but have a tester of the Aventus for Her. It is nothing amazing nor did its performance justify 300-400 price point. If you have ever had a 3 digit priced bottle of wine you may find it tastes amazing. But not so much more so than others that are under $50 even $30 that are well crafted and delicious and most often indistinguishable to the 3 digit bottles to the common palate. The law of diminishing returns outweighs my need to have Aventus. Maybe I’ll get to test it someday. Scent: 8/10 Performance: 8/10 Price: 7/10

Personally I think this scent is amazing and one of the best clones out there that I have tried, I would highly recommend! I have both the original and the intense and they smell virtually identical with perhaps minute differences. I prefer the intense though, why? Well because it's more intense! lol...I find the intense version a fuller slightly denser scent with a tiny bit more smokiness and I find the citrus a little darker and better done than the original. Performance is excellent! The only negative I can find with this scent is that it is easy to go nose blind from it. Long after I think it has died down or worn off I will keep getting compliments hours later. Damn I wish I could smell it because I absolutely love this scent. For the people that say this isn't close enough to Aventus , I don't care if it is or isn't I would still buy this either way. I don't have a huge collection, I have around maybe 20 bottles but if I could only keep 3 this would definitely be one of them!

I have version with the black plastic written on it "Intense". Using it for a month and i love it, especially the dry down, or the day after when i take the same shirt its hard for me to go for another scent, coz than is when you really feel the drydown, and im like "yea i want more of this" (because you are getting very easy nose blind to this scent). Longevity is good, projection, im not sure coz as i said is very easy to go nose blind to this one. Also need a little bit of warm to shine. I have tested the normal version few times, and i think the difference is that the intense is little bit more dense and a bit more fruity , also the citrus goes for the whole life span of the scent. EDIT: Im starting to think that performance are not that good after all 9/10. I Like it more than, CDNI EDP, Explorer, Way more than Afnan NOI. I got this for 40e, worth every penny. Its similar to the old version of Zara Vibrant Leather.

I'm curious if the people complaining of poor performance are simply becoming anosmic to this fragrance. I have one of the new batch bottles with the "Intense" sticker - and today I wore 3 sprays total - which completely filled a 25x50 ft PT gym. I had no idea how strong I was projecting until a woman standing 15 feet away from me commented on how good it smelled, 2 hours after I had sprayed. I was also getting wiffs 10+ hours after I sprayed. As for the smell, it is the most accurate Aventus clone I've smelled. It's a pretty spot on copy of a fruitier batch of Aventus. Despite it's strength, it has a bit of a "softness" to the smell, and is extremely pleasant and easy going. Compare this to CDNIMs' screaming loud lemon opening, it is much less attention grabbing - maybe this is why people think it is weak? Regardless, I'm really digging this one, one of the best 30ish dollars I've spent on a fragrance.

I was skeptical about buying this but later on gave it a try since I got a extreme good deal. Al Haramain finally got rid of some chemicals from the original that used to burn my skin after applying. This juice is a no joke! The sillage is not overwhelming (I'm fine with it) but it triumphs every clone of KING in the longevity even KING. The most important thing is how I love to sniff my shirt even after a long (north of 10 hours) humid day. Surprisingly it contains the fruitiness of the original L'aventure but successfully achieved to bring the smokiness which was missing in the original. Must try if you have ever smelled KING in your lifetime knowingly or unknowingly and was surprised what was that! Overall 8.5/10 Longevity: 9.5/10 Sillage: 7.5/10 Performance: 9/10

I went to one of their shops today in the Emirates and compared the regular and the Intense. I got to know these perfumes recently so I don’t know how they were before. The guys at the shop told me that the main difference was perfomance. Smelling the two side by side, the Instense opens... well... more intense, it has more power. But then on the dry-down they share the same notes, it just seems you sprayed them with 2 hours of difference, as the intensity difference remains. Still, I do not think the intense is too loud, or too exaggerated if you spray carefully, it just seems what you would expect from a EDP. I love it and I brought it home. After testing a few CA inspired perfumes this is the one I prefer, as it seems the most rounded and natural to me.

I have L'aventure OG and L'aventure intense. There is no comparison!! The intense version blows the original version out the waters. L'aventure intense hits you with a fruity-citrusy lemony scent. The 🍋 lemony remains throughout the life of the scent. It drys down to a woody/birch scent. L'aventure intense performs very well. It last 8 hours on my skin and longer on clothes. This is a worthy buy imo. I am a fan of L'aventure intense.👌 Edited: 4/27/24 L'aventure Intense gets better with time. It took 6-7 months before it started to perform and smell better and balanced. Now it is amazing!! Same for the original L'aventure. It took 9-10 months before it started to perform and smell balanced.

These bottles with the stickers in them are still potent & do last a good 6 to 8 hours on my skin. I go nose blind after 1 hour, but my wife can still smell it on me 6 hours later & 8th hour it is a skin scent. You need to do a few sprays & let this macerate for at least 1 month. 6 months later this is at its even more maturity. I believe that some reviewers out there have made a good few people think that this is a magical formula that radiates & fills a room for hours on end, but no, this is still a fragrance & it does outstrip Aventus in longevity & does smell brilliant on my skin. Best value for money against other clones out there.

L'Aventure Intense is definitely much more cirtusy and lemondry straight from the opening. I have Aventus decants and full bottle and I'm testing the LAI with 19S41 batch of Aventus. You'll still get the differences due to the citrusy and lemondry LAI compared with the smokey pineapple in Aventus, especially on skin. That's the main differences other than Aventus smelling better quality and the LAI can be synthetic to some. I still prefer the Cdnim LE since it's also fruity smokey. However for Singapore $45+- anyone can just use this sparingly overspraying as compared to the more treasured Aventus bottle.

It's a good scent.. nothing wow but last longer than aventus.. good for autumn and summer. Longevity is definitely not as people have voted. On skin it's 4hour and after 4 it slowly fade away. About 6 hour and there is no scent of it left... Last probably 8+hours on clothes but I haven't try it yet.. overall 7/10 Waiting for summer to come and I will give it another shot.. maybe will last longer in a higher heat. I do recommend this over aventus for sure, you can blind buy this due to its price and it is pleasant for everyone around you. Everyone will like it but not everyone will love it.

Clone Time: Creed Aventus - I have the feeling this is even a bit stronger, solid scent structure which will last you 7-10 hrs. It is strong. Solid Wear. Great wear for warmer weather. (Review after 4 months of Maceration ... Great!) I would buy it again. Performance: 7-10 hours Sillage: Within 6ft For whom: Gentlemen >30 My background: I only write reviews about scents I have worn already (until the bottle is finished) or are in current use. I'm a Gentlemen - middle aged - predominantly in an executive office environment wearing suits and representing with many official gatherings

Just to settle things, this is in fact much better than CDNIM. I have the CDNIM edt, edp, and parfum oil, I even bought another edt bottle because I thought I had a bad batch. This is better and better performing than any of the CDNIMs I’ve tried and smells better than the edt and edp. The oil smells best with amped up vanilla and more natural citrus but it doesn’t perform. This overall smells more natural than the edt/edp and you can perceive more of the listed notes, with the Armaf I just get lemon cleaner and smoke that smells like a house fire rather than birch or wood smoke.

This and Armaf CDNIM Limited Edition are currently the two best Aventus clones on the market. I had the original L'Aventure which was also good, but the performance was only decent. They definitely fixed it with a more Intense formula as the name suggests. This is basically your fruity batch of Aventus while the Armaf Limited Edition is the more smokey batch. I find layering them together leads to the all around greatest results. Performance is easily 16 hours or possibly more because I've usually showered and fallen asleep while the juice is still going. Great buy.

@Infevo If you get a fishy opening, you more likely got a fake Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense. It happened to me too, when I ordered from Notino, but with a different Afnan product (Turathi Blue). You should get your perfumes from a legit store / website. I have This and Supremacy NOI as well. I enjoy the hell out of both. They are insanely great perfumes and I love their smells and performance. I don't have any "fishy" opening scent as you. BTW, once I ordered Turathi Blue from a different store, I know why many people loved Turathi Blue.

Best citrus fragrance in my collection, on par with Dolce & Gabbana's classic Pour Homme EDT minus the wood background (replaced by musk). If you like lemon/bergamot this is your number one choice. Potency, however, is a bit disappointing: expect anywhere between two to three hours of decent performance and sillage. Reapply as needed. Great for hot summer days... Update: wore L'Aventure Intense for a bday party at a bar and got complimented by both a male and female friend within two hours of applying it. It does get noticed!

I have this for over a month and I have thus trying for a time now. Today I have been wearing it from 9am and it is now 9 pm. I applied 2 wiffs to the back of my neck and from 2 to each side behind my ear and it is still very much alive, very nice blended and for its price which by now has doubled, I have no complains. I don't compare it with Aventus but I find it a very wearable, for every occasion scent

I own 2 bottles of Aventus, 1 bottle of CDIM edp. To me this is the best clone I've smelled. Yes, Creed is awesome but I'm not ever buying another bottle. This one has good performance, but this dna does seem to lend itself to noseblindness. Creed does it too. 100ml for 40 bucks shipped is a great deal if you want an Aventus clone. I'm super happy with it!

Woody fresh and a little hint of citrus. Close enough to aventus creed. If you’re looking for a cheap way to get aventus creed this is the closest one. More mature than the playful aventus creed. More suitable for 40+ of age because of it’s mid musky and Mediterranean scent. I suggest research for other alternative if you want something younger scent.

If you are looking for an Aventus clone, this one is the best. Its longevity is much better than CDNI (haven't tried the Limited Edition) and smells too close to Aventus. CDNI's opening is much better than any other clone but this smells better when everything settles down. I can easily give 8.5/10 (or maybe even 9 for the price). Safe for blind buy.
