L'Aventure Knight

Another Hidden Gem is called L'Aventure Knight SOTD: Al Haramain L'Aventure Knight: As of 01/02/19 My opinion on the L'Aventure Knight is a clone of GIT on what people compare it to, and I don't own GIT to compare it to but I own Cool Water. And L'Aventure Knight has the GIT/Cool Water DNA, but to my nose I love the scent coming from L'Aventure Knight then Cool Water. Cool Water was my signature scent several ions ago, Cool Water has that tobacco, sea water and green notes in which I love, but now my taste on fragrance has bit matured which is still growing and learning the notes of different genres of fragrances. L'Aventure Knight has the floral notes like violet leaf, iris and bergamot which is more mellow and pleasing to my nose than Cool Water. Don't get me wrong I love my Cool Water, but down the road I will gravitate more to L'Aventure Knight than Cool Water to wear on occasions or a dumb reach. L'Aventure is a surprise scent to me, which I liked and probably love as well. Overall my rating of L'Aventure Knight is 8.25/10. To me is a must buy/purchase. Rating Scent: 8.0/10 Value: 9/10 Presentation/Design: 9/10 Performance/Longevity: 9/10: Lasted on my skin tapping at 14+ hrs Overall: 8.25/10 My SOTD (Scent of the Day): Al Haramain L'Aventure Knight: As of 02/15/19 Revisited again this scent/fragrance made my SOTD as of 02/15/19, and it hasn't change my opinion about this fragrance to me in my honest opinion this is a better clone of GIT out there in Frag.com at the moment, it's better than Tres Nuit and Cool Water and of course is not better than the OG GIT. Again my nose detects the Iris, powdery notes, musk, tea, lemon verbena, and bergamot. I'm still getting beastly longevity/performance 8-10 sprays, lasted on my skin as a skin scent around 14+ hrs. Presentation and design is superb, just not a fan of the boxy shaped fragrance it can be hard to hold or grip when it comes to spraying the fragrance and it is a finger print magnet, but it does not take away value and how close the scent is to GIT even though I don't own a GIT. It a great buy and a must have if you don't own GIT and if your in a budget. L'Aventure Knight from the house of Al Haramain is a gem. My overall rating has slightly change from a 8.25 to 8.5 out of 10.

After trying Tres Nuit and giving the bottle away, mostly due to performance, I wanted a GIT type of scent on a budget, so I bought this hoping for that, and I love it! Performance is there. Not a beast, maybe on a really hot day it would be a beast, but it lasts a good amount of time, so if I want to be annoying, I'll just spray more. xD I notice that most folks have given the sillage a moderate rating, but I will admit, this stuff is absolutely radiating off of me currently, much more than I had anticipated, so I'm happy for that! The scent is really nice. I get a fairly green kind of grassy scent but with a really nice freshness (I assume this to be the lemon verbena). It does have a slight powdery vibe, but not in the type of way that I think about powder. To me its just fresh, clean, and more what I imagined GIT smelling like than Tres Nuit, which very much reminded me of Cool Water. This has the same sort of thing, but its way more of a green vibe than a watery vibe. I've read on both Tres Nuit and this, saying "it smells like Irish Spring" and I personally don't pick up too much of that, maybe the smallest bit, but not to the point that I feel I had just bathed a second time after spraying. A nifty side note for myself atleast, I used to LOVE the Usher cologne back in the day, but remember it not being the greatest performer. Thankfully, atleast to my nose, this smells in so many ways identical to that, a little different, but almost if it was a little more refined and with HEAPS more performance overall. So again, its a big win there for me! I do seem to notice, that my nose for some reason wants to call this a slightly more "mature" scent, but I believe I'm being a bit deceived by a note as I feel like young me would like this as much as current me does, and I feel old me would like this as much as now as well. Edit after a wearing at work: stuff performed on me really well for the first 5 hours or so. After that point, it didn't loft up as much, but almost 10 hours later, and I still smell it on me albeit a bit faintly. Good stuff!

Yep. Ditto. Best GIT clone I've tried yet! L'aventure Knight is SOOO close to the real thing and yet honestly better than GIT, because it resembles the darker batches of GIT that I've come to love. Armaf Le Parfait is better than GIT for me also, in spite of Le Parfait not being an exact clone, since it has a little Aventus in the background. I'd say either of them would be a fine replacement for GIT, and both are far better than Cool Water and the likes. But, L'aventure Knight is hands down the best GIT clone I've tried. Tres Nuit can't even touch this stuff... well actually, Tres Nuit's floral notes are pretty dang close to GIT too, however Tres Nuit is so weak, and L'aventure Knight just WEARS more similar to GIT in a real life situation. And often lasts longer! Testing side by side with GIT, the main difference is that L'aventure Knight is more woody/musky in the start, but the ambergris is certainly there in L'aventure Knight, and detectable right from the beginning. After about 5-10 minutes, it smells just like GIT's opening, and remains that way for the majority of its life. In the dry down, the woody notes fade, which finds more verbena, violet and ambergris. It's a little backwards to GIT, which is verbena, violet and ambergris in the beginning, and woody violet ambergris in the dry down. Also, the projection of L'aventure Knight is surprisingly good, actually better than Le Parfait. I still like Le Parfait's scent more as a GIT replacement, personally, but this is equally as good in its own way, since it's such a spot on clone to the darker batches of GIT that I've liked so much in the past. You'd be VERY hard pressed to tell the difference between the two if you weren't comparing them side by side, and even then, it's surprisingly close after 5-10 minutes.

A solid offering from Al Haramain and to date the closest GIT clone I own but only in the drydown! This opens up very fresh,green, but also slightly dark and powdery and there’s a slightly off putting ink note in here (I’m guessing from the tea) which I didn’t like initially but it’s grown on me As it dries down this gets more smooth and that sharpness and powderiness dries down and your left with a very refreshing and smooth green scent !!! The drydown is pretty much the same except this loses pretty much all sharpness and your left with a gorgeous drydown and at this stage (about 2 hours in) that’s where the magic lies ! Also where it smells very close to GIT !! A great scent on its own though as compared to GIT I’d say it’s more modern,sweet and powdery !! Another great clone that’s inspired by GIT is EGra by Rasasi !! That’s another one similar to GIT but that goes more into a green shower gel vibe and smells like a more sophisticated Aspen!! Performance is great as it lasts 8-12 hours and decent projection for 2 hours but leaves a great scent trail and scent bubble when smelled up close !! I’d say this has gotten more compliments that all the GIT inspired scents as it does have a bit more character but my personal favorite is Egra by Rasasi Overall rating -8 out of 10 !! Lovely smell for a great price that also performs very well but what it loses points in is that inky smell which is not a game changer but a smell I could do without

I’m still amazed by this smell and if you’re looking for a GIT inspired fragrance I would say for me anyways this is the best one and I have tried pretty much all of them. However it does have some uniqueness and character of its own !! This opens up a bit synthetic and unpleasant and has a bitter inky note that does not sit well with me some days (it does smell much better in the air) as it dries down you get that fresh,soapy,dewey, fresh laundry by a lake type of vibe but where this differs is I also get a watery note in Knight that I don’t get from GIT which I actually quite prefer and I’ve got compliments from this saying it also slightly reminds them of the beach and was similar to a Nautica fragrance. I DO kind of get that as in the air there’s a green but also blue quality to this fragrance making it more modern than other GIT inspired fragrances! This is probably my 3rd most complimented fragrances so this does have mass appeal and to many different age groups as well making this very versatile! Performance on me has been excellent as it projects very well (not quite beast mode) for 2 hours and then is a very noticeable skin scent for the duration of the scent life. It lasts me also 12-16 hours Overall rating -9 out of 10 !!! Very enjoyable scent and very mass appealing smell for a great price. I also actually prefer this to GIT
