Glory

Like Aventus without the pineapple and smoke and so that makes it closer to Eros Energy to me. But way weaker.

Somewhat identical to Creed Aventus 👍🏼

Upon the first spray, I was greeted by a burst of vibrant citrus notes—bright and refreshing, reminiscent of the opening of Eros Energy but with a slightly more synthetic twist. The citrus is quite prominent, projecting well for about ten minutes before transitioning into the middle notes. At this stage, the citrus is complemented by an earthy, almost smoky wood aroma, similar to the dry down of Montblanc's Explorer, but without the smokiness that Aventus is known for. This pleasant blend lingers for around two hours, with a projection of around a foot. As the scent settles in, it becomes more of a skin scent, sticking around until just after the three-hour mark. In summary, I’d describe this aroma as a hybrid—it captures the essence of Aventus without the iconic pineapple opening and the smoky middle notes. You could say it combines the Eros Energy opening with an Explorer-esque middle. Overall, it offers a satisfying take on the Aventus DNA, with its unique twists. However, I must caution that the performance leaves something to be desired, as it is a colonge concentration. At the full retail price, I wouldn’t recommend it since you’ll likely need to reapply a couple of times throughout the day. That said, Bath & Body Works frequently has sales, so if you can pick it up for under $25, it’s a worthwhile find. For that price, you get about three hours of a fragrance that emulates Aventus—perfect for the gym or the office, especially if you carry a travel atomizer with you. In conclusion, if you stumble upon Glory during a sale, it’s definitely worth considering as a budget-friendly alternative to Aventus.

Nothing to talk about here. Usual scent profile as seen in notes above. Longevity is 10 mins max for opening and 1 hour for base notes. That's about it. It's like they forgot to put 90% of the oil in there. I would give this to a high schooler and let them shower themselves in this 4 times a day to use it up. Worse performance than some Walmart frags.

Do you want a mediocre clone of a clone of Aventus? For $60 retail you too can vaguely smell like Aventus (Glory is more like Explorer by Montblanc) for 30 minutes before the cologne completely wears off. Performance is really mediocre. 12 sprays it became a skin scent after 30 minutes. Lasts a couple hours as a skin scent, but that's the kind of performance I expect from a $5 body spray, not a $60 retail cologne (I know sale prices are $15, but that's a couple times a year if it's in stock, it's not even adequate at that price). Took another 10ish sprays to refresh it enough for an hour of noticeable scent. Still became a skin scent after that hour. A single spray and on that spot it'll fade into a skin scent in 5 minutes or so. If you can find it I'd get AB Spirit Silver by Lomani instead. Hell, Axe Royal Pineapple would probably have better performance than this. Better yet just get a bottle of Cuba Milestone. Probably the best cheap option that's still easily available.
