Bond No 9 BondNo9.com EDP opens with a moderate projection of sweet, fruity, and woody smoky notes. The opening is fresh, aromatic, delectable, and very pleasant. The bergamot and pineapple open the fragrance, with a sharp, intense, sour, and fruity accord, the bergamot dissipates in just a moment, but it gets quickly replaced with the also sharp scent of the juniper berries and black currant. The pineapple is mildly sweet, intense, and delicious. The juniper berries bring a fresh, woody, green, and piney note; the black currant is a note with berry, fruity, tangy, green, with slightly ammoniac accords, that sharpens the notes of the fragrance. The combination of these two notes is evocative birch, a woody and smoky type of note. The apple is next in the list, it isn’t as noticeable as the previous notes, but it adds a softer fruity touch. The cedar is the last of the most noticeable notes, a fresh woody touch. The rest of the notes are there to provide support but aren’t prominent. The fragrance has only one noticeable opening to dry-down change, the bergamot is noticeable during the opening, very citrusy, bright, and crisp; however, it dissipates quickly and the rest of the featured notes come up to replace it. Once Bond No 9 BondNo9.com EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, fruity (pineapple), woody (juniper berries, black currant), and citrusy (bergamot) fragrance with light green, mossy, and musk accords.

I have owned this scent for about 2 years now. I do see the whole comparing to Aventus thing but that's only because of some of the same notes. Scent wise it is great. It has a lot more cedar wood in it than Birch which makes Aventus smokey and dark in certain batches. People who like Aventus will like this too. It is about the same with the big difference being cedar wood. The bottle in person is an epic bright yellow and blue QR code. I love it. I wear this on hot days when I want the Aventus vibe just because I know this is like 1/4 the price and if i sweat it off.. it's not that big of a deal to me. And yes.. I own Aventus too.. Who doesn't? Lol. I really like both and for the money.. this gets you in the same ball park for sure. You will have that sweet pineapple, apple, juniper berry, and black currant mixture going on. To the untrained nose passing by.. It will just smell fresh and great. It is actually pretty strong. I wear this and it gets on my clothing during the day and when I wash my clothes it will Still be on there sometimes. I don't know if you can qualify this in the Moderate longevity section or the Long Lasting.. It is for me like right in between the long end of moderate and short end of long lasting. Sometimes it does get 8-9 hours on me.. Depending on my day if I am active a lot or not. Mainly it is like 7ish. I would really say try this one and Scent of Peace For him and fight between those 2 on which is better. Personally I own both and I trade back and forth quite often.

This shit right here is the Aventus killa that I was hoping it would be!Creed bow down to the real perfect batch that you should be making at the cost you charge for that smoke in a bottle you call Aventus!Oh now for my review:clean,fruit vibe I get now that I just sprayed it 1 hour ago and its still rocking out without any hint of smoke.Will edit if anything changes as I will wear it to work tonight and get the full effects of what my co-workers think of it.As a side note the bottle isn't bad its hip and up to date with the times of which we live.This is not even close to Fresco which I own.So if you think that puting Fresco on here as a similar scent will devalue BOND9.COM then you must not own Fresco which is not a bad sent but doesn't even hold a candle to this BEAST.4hrs. now still going strong.Just woke up to go to work its been a total of 9 1/2 hrs.and I can still smell it close on skin but damn its like a energizer battery.I will say that there is one great thing about all Creeds that do beat out Bond 9's and that's their atomizers. EDIT.Everytime I wear this to work I get complements on how good I smell.This is my new favorite fragrance.Also I sometimes use Aventus soap and it works great with this I guess because there is no smokiness in the soap at all but it's a little expensive.

Masterpiece! This is one of the first bonds I sampled. It is bright, fresh, citrusy, woody and slightly musky. I honesly cannot express how much I LOVE this fragrance. The juniper and pineapple hit you right away and never seem to totaly dissappear. This opening lasts for almost an hour on my skin and transitions seamlessly to the heart of black currant and cedar. The musky, patchouli base is a great compliment to the symphony that is Bond.com. When I put this on , I just grin because I know for the rest of the day that myself and everyone around me will enjoy this awesome creation. I get no shrotage of compliments with this. In fact, the very first time I put this on, my best friend exclaimed "JESUS, even I want to f#*! you!"(he's not very subtle...) I do not consider this to be a unisex fragrance. Men only. Also, apply lightly. This one is a beast on me. Longevity and sillage are through the roof! Lasts all damn day on my skin, even in cold weather. I can wear this all year around. Not sure why most people concider this a summer scent... This may not be for everyone(although I have not met anyone who has a single negative thing to say about it, unlike Aventus...)so, as always, try before you buy. Longevity: Beast Mode!! 14 hours Projection: 6 feet Sillage: 6+ hours

Bond No. 9.com is a masterpiece. It is an underrated niche fragrance suitable for any occasion. To date, I have 21 Bond fragrances and Bond 9.com ranks at the top of the list and garners the most compliments. Simply put – it is everything you could ask for in a fragrance – a beautiful scent, great flexibility, unobtrusive in an office environment, huge “Wow Factor”, and a cool design (I love the way Bond 9 bottles fit my hand). Out of the bottle, you get the overwhelming pineapple notes that surround the amber, herbal, and musk notes that make this fragrance one of the best made. It has catapulted into my Top 5. Yes – there are many similarities to Creed’s Aventus, but I find that I get greater longevity and projection/sillage from No. 9.com. Speaking of the “rock star” performance, Bond 9.com lasts at least 8 hours on me (longer on clothing) with projection greater than arm’s length. While a challenge to get your hands on a bottle (ordered mine direct from Bond), I highly recommend adding to your collection. The final tally for Bond No 9.com is 4.9 stars out of 5 stars. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy your day...

Really enjoy this stuff. Forgive my ignorance, but I don't get when people complain of a scent smelling synthetic. I mean, I don't knock a more "natural" smelling fragrance, but, to me, they all more or less smell "synthetic". Too, just because a fragrance smells synthetic doesn't necessarily make it smell cheap. Some of the best smelling fragrances are clearly synthetic. Do you think Dior Homme Parfum smells spot on? Yet, it's at the top of a LOT of people's lists. I can go on. Personally, I can appreciate a fragrance that doesn't go for the whole photorealistic thing. When people smell it they'll know you intentionally sprayed something nice on as oppose to smelling like you was just in a room with flowers or use potpourri in your closets at home. Again, I'm not knocking "natural" smelling fragrances. I just think some people get too carried away with saying a fragrance smells synthetic and forget like, at least, 85% of what goes in a perfume is synthetic. Unless it says natural on the the tin.. and even then... Ok, rant over. Good day everyone.

BondNo9.com is an Aventus "clone" and there's really no point arguing otherwise. lol This may also be the "best" Aventus clone on the market right now too. BondNo9.com is extremely well formulated, high quality, long lasting, with excellent performance/projection. Definitely a masculine fragrance, but can easily be pulled off by women too. As a woman's skin chemistry will likely tone down the musk notes. With that said, BondNo9.com has an effervescent-like scent character, with prominent pineapple notes, and musk notes that are well balanced, and not overwhelming. Ultimately, making BondNo9.com very easy to wear in any situation, and perfect for summer/hot weather wearings -- which is Aventus's shortcoming. BondNo9.com is also what I would call an excellent beach/tropical vacation cologne too. Definitely get your noise on BondNo9.com if you enjoy Aventus, but can appreciate a different house's take on Aventus, or if you just enjoy owning various Aventus clones. Overall: 10/10 -- Prefer BondNo9.com over Aventus :-)

This is the best fresh bond I've smelled. It opens like a fruity batch of Aventus but then it goes an interesting (and wonderful) direction. The Pineapple and the cedar is a fantastic mix and works very well together. Black current is a note that I don't care for in high doses unless it's blended well and it is here. Patchouli can also go sideways and lean fem or overpowering but its also blended well. My favorite part of Aventus is the musk in the base and I can smell it clearly here. It's similar to the Aventus upscale musk, and equal quality. This is just as good as Aventus IMO and possibly better because I've grown tired of Aventus. This is different and interesting. I had several meetings with clients and potential clients, and received several compliments. Even mixed with sweat in the Texas heat this stuff sang off my skin. It also passed the most important test: my wife likes it 🙂 All and all, this stuff is better than Hacivat and better than modern aventus. Smell 9/10 Performance 7.5/10

Finally purchased 3 samples directly from Bond, since I can't find anyone selling decants. At least not yet. Absolutely, the scent is similar to Creed Aventus, but let's be honest... many colognes smell "similar to" other colognes, and whether intentional or not this is a common occurrence with fragrances. Having said that, I find this scent to be like Creed Aventus, but was done with underripe pineapples and too many apples, happily/accidentally. There's a greenness,a crispness to it that just has me HOOKED. I absolutely love this and even though I've only been wearing it for several hours, I already feel "signature scent" with this one. I love Aventus and almost any aroma that reminds me of it, and this disputably outdoes Aventus. Unisex? ---personally I don't think so, but this is definitely a scent that will appeal to women. But, on a guy in my opinion. 10/10 for me.

I've been wearing this stuff every week, for the last 3 years. Still not sick of it. Still my #1. In a nutshell, i like to call this "Aventus for non-smokers". The resemblance is uncanny, whether it's an intentional dupe, a clone, I don't care. It's still very much its own thing. The musk in it is amazing and has honestly made me appreciate musks in other fragrances. The woody drydown is also very clean, smells like fresh clean laundry with some of the opening sweet pineapple/apple still hanging on. It's crisp from start to finish. Sillage is good at first but fair after a couple hours, longevity is just ok. The overall aroma is so satisfying and addicting to me, I wonder if I'll ever grow bored of it. I now understand why some people might wear the same fragrance for decades. 10/10, if i wasn't already clear about that :)

Received the "sample" from Bond No 9. Sprayed a couple of times on my chest. I'm really diggin' this scent. Asked my fiancé what she thought: "makes me want to eat you!" Those were her exact words. Haven't really walked around in public with this scent, yet...but I'm willing to bet it will smell great out-and-about. I feel as if I could wear this any time of the year, day, or place. Thumbs up from me! Edit: I have realized another reason I love this scent: I am headache free. What I mean is, sometimes scents have a headache-way about them. Even the ones that I am fond of .... they sometimes cause a headache. I have crappy sinus problems, but this fragrance doesn't irritate my head at all. Plus, it lasts a nice, long time, too!

This one is really hard to get for me (although not as hard as H.O.T Always), but yeah, I needed to buy it online, sent it to my cousin in Amsterdam, and waited until someone returned to my country bringing it to me, which took a couple of months waiting period, but finally I've got it. This smells like fruitier Aventus if you really like to make Aventus as a benchmark for every pineapple based fragrance, which is sad... because I see in Fragrantica, almost all fragrance with pineapple are associated with Aventus. Come on people... This one really makes me feel tropical, very beautiful, with 10 hours or so longevity and above average projection. This perfume really is worth the effort, one of the best from Bond No. 9.

This is a very classy with a blast of apple and Pineapple. This is my new signature scent. My wife stated that I can only wear this cologne with her because a women stated that I smelled edible when I was at the market. Bond has a hit that rivals Aventus. Its more fruity and when it mixing with your body chemistry the sillage and longevity last 8-12 hours or more. Update: Man this one is so fresh and so clean with fruity notes. A must for any collector of great colognes. I have received a ton of compliments with this one. I had one lady to follow me in Dillards just because she like my cologne and cole haans. She wanted to know the name of the cologne and where to buy this great scent.

This fragrance is very well done! I really do love it, regardless of it's comparisons to a slew of other well known fragrances. Yes it does have similar traits to Creed Aventus, BN9 Scent of Peace for Him, Reyane Insurrection Pure II and Lomani AB Silver. While I do not care for AB Silver, I do like the remaining three. This is probably the closest direct relative to Aventus. While that might be great, the price tag doesn't warrant choosing this over Aventus. Find the one that you like best and go with it. If money isn't an issue, get all of the above (minus AB Silver). You'll be able to use and love each for different reasons. Happy Hunting!

@JEDI 2.0 you nailed it bro! I also ordered a couple of the directly off bonds website for $8.00 each and wow.. This is actually a little better than aventus in my opinion. Do they share some similarities in notes, yes. This is a great projector as well! I ve gotten more compliments with this than aventus also. I did the spray test one on each hand and this one won. But so did insurrection pure 2 so who knows. If you guys like aventus you have to try this or you are missing out major! Scent 10/10 Projection 9/10 Longevity 9/10 This also causes nose blindness so be careful

Six years later, I still wear this weekly with amazing effect to myself and anyone blessed enough to smell it off of me. Clean, sweet, unoffensive. Pleasing. Inspiring. This fragrance makes me feel like "me". I said it before and I'll say it again, this fragrance made me understand why some people wear the same scent for decades. The clean "pineapple dryer sheets" accord is a place I can live indefinitely. I'd love a pillow spray; this stuff itself is too heavy, trust me. 11 out of 10. This stuff is so signature for me, I sign my checks with a spray of it.

I just got in and after a couple hours on my skin; I must say this is a great scent. There is a little bit of an Aventus vibe but it's nothing like Aventus; you REALLY smell the apple in it. It somewhat reminds me of Aventus dry down but take out the pineapple and add in bursts of apple with less of a smoke vibe. I really enjoy this one and was happy it turned out the way it did. I agree with what GatorNY said; it's lighter and more fruity than Aventus.

Powerful fragrance - very strong. Lasts nearly 10 hours on skin and all day on clothing. Many thanks to Fiona for the free sample! Aventus similarities?...perhaps but the clean green notes and lack of birch make this decidedly different. Almost like a sparkling mix of Cedrat Boise from Mancera and Aventus having a less fruity offspring. More herbal while still having non-synthetic fruit notes and playfulness. Fantastic fragrance FB worthy to me.

My 3rd from the house and personally enjoy its creations. This one is a great fruity-musky-smoky scent with great projection for first 1-2hrs and skins scent for 6 to 8 hours. Very versatile and office safe and perfect for summers. Shukran Habibi!

My go to, dumb reach during the summer! Its sweet, but not cloying. Its fresh, and i get compliments regularly. My favorite bond hands down, and you can find a 100 ml at diacounters for a third of the King...

This as an amalgamation of Aventus and Scent of Pease for him. Very happy to have it in my collection. I don’t feel it’s redundant if you already own one or both of the above mentioned.

This is a much fruitier version of The Scent of Peace for Him. I think it's better! They never should have discontinued this, but they brought New Haarlem back, so we'll see...

This is a more fruity version of Hacivat. It has similarities to Aventus as well, but it is not smoky. It has better performance then both of those. Shame it is discontinued.

This is a fragrance for the wearer. Love it (and don’t care what others think) but doubt I’ll ever get s complement. Wife doesn’t appreciate it either.

Bond.Com has a little similarity vibe which in the scent of peace and Aventus, it's very fruity and addicting. Love this scent and yellowish bottle.

Good pineapple scent dor spring and summer. They could've called this Scent of Peace intense. Similar to Aventus but I wouldn't call it a clone

Does have a lot of similarities to Aventus. BBB is right. It does smells a little bit like fruit loops. Other than that is a pleasant scent.

If you like Aventus and are looking for something which has a cleaner vibe I suggest you try this. Amazing longevity and performance too!

Aventus killer. -That's all I have to say

Familiar scent...new and digital?

i ordered a few samples of this so i have given it a few tries and for most of the first sample, it smelled almost entirely too fruity / single-noted pineapple-y to me and it was just a turn-off. however, after waiting a few days, and re-applying, it smells ENTIRELY different to me. i don't really like to compare scents per se, unless they smell close to "identical" for the sake of the dollar! (which i have not smelled one that smells "identical" to this, so i will not compare). my notes: a very woodsy (i.e. a DEFINITE cedar) scent with a VERY light citrus swing to it. dry-down = definite oak moss + cedar + juniper berries; a slight bite of the apple. it is a nice wood fragrance; not at all too masculine, although slightly "masculine" leaning; it is not "strong" enough to be off-putting for women, and i do think women could wear this; i would certainly deem this a "unisex" scent. it is almost a sweet cedar fragrance, definitely softened by the bergamot and amber (although i wouldn't say i could necessarily "pick out" either note, they sort of "lift" the usually "heavy" woodsy scent) and citrus notes (after the initial "pineapple" punch, it doesn't really seem to smell so pineapple-y to me, it just lends a "citrusy" sweet air to this) with noticeable juniper berry, oak moss, patchouli (as with almost all bond no 9 fragrances!), and again, that slight bite of apple. to me, this is what good wood smells like. like if you were to open a fragrant cedarwood box that just screams “FOREST!!!” and you want to bury your nose in it. it is nice. the only problem is that (on me) it doesn’t last very long and the projection is also fairly weak. i do like it, at any rate. it would make a nice "cozy" scent for the late fall and winter for women, and could be worn almost any time of year by men (actually probably more summery for men; i would imagine this would smell very good on a man, if it smelled the way it does on me! that whole woodsy "bury your nose in it" thing is a definite turn-on for a scent on a guy! a girl? not so much, but it is a nice change of pace, and i do think it could be pulled off fairly easily by strong women.) *note: it may just be me, but i have noticed that w/my body chemistry, bond no 9. fragrances tend to "smell" better and more full when applied COLD! i let the bottles sit in a chilly room or by the window in the winter and apply straight to my skin. i have also noticed these fragrances, in general, need to be applied, again, DIRECTLY to the skin; i.e., if you spray your left wrist and rub your wrists together, the scent will only last on your left wrist - so spray both wrists, or wherever you want the scent to stay! that could, again, just be my body chemistry, but i have found this to be unique to bond scents.*

This stuff is really loud upon application! Super tart green and pine-apple are present right away along with a really juicy bergamot and a nice crisp patchouli note. I'm surprised that everyone has the musk voted as more prominent than the patchouli. I don't really get any amber or cedar, but I've had a busy day today and I haven't had much time to sit down and anylize this but I definitely plan to later. It's nice, and definitely loud at first. But the longevity is not good on my skin, definitely nothing close to Al Haramain L'Aventure. And I am partial to it over actual Aventus. But to me, this is very different from Aventus. Better? I don't really like either one. L'Aventure is better than them both to me. But, everyone has their own personal preference. If I wanted something that was in the same genre but was actually worth niche fragrance prices, it would definitely be Hacivat by Nishane! Now that is a masterpiece. Edit: Now that I've spent several months with this I can definitely say that it has a place and a purpose in my collection. Even if someone owned Aventus, which I don't, this is still serviceable alongside it. I still prefer Nishane's Hacivat, and actually Al Haramain's L'Aventure as well to Aventus. I would slot this one in between those two as far as which Aventus style fragrance I actually prefer to wear. Hacivat first, then Bond No.9 .Com, and then L'Aventure.

I’ve come to know the ‘Aventus thing’ very well due to smelling a billion and one, either deliberate clones or extremely similar, ballpark fragrances and this is undoubtedly one of those. I remember when this was released and people talking about it, I had kinda dismissed it for being a Aventus smellalike and largely that’s what you get. However if you are accustomed with the batch variations and very slight differences within this accord you get that it’s a fruitier opening, certianly than my Aventus, bergamot, Apple, black currant but undoubtedly a pineapple smell. Then there’s the smoky base which is more cedar to me than birch but inherantly has the same qualities of smelling a bit like a fresh, fruity musk fragrance on a man who’s just been for a cigarette and it’s clinging to his clothes. I don’t see how this thing became so popular and there’s a school of nuance on the different vibes within it but needless to say it has, and I’ve become adept at sniffing subtle difference of which there is some. One thing is for sure .com has monster Sillage and longevity, comparable to even the best batches of the Creed. My ramblings do sound a bit negative but they’re not I’m really glad I finally got around to sampling this stuff coz it’s pretty good, I’m just a bit weary of this smell. In fairness this was a relatively early dupe.

BondNo9.com - Amplified Juicy Pineapple. All those lusting after the fruity holy grail batch of Aventus, please give this one a try. If the fruity top notes of aventus is all you seek, you shall find it here. This is quite a linear scent, and right from the word go, it bombs you with its delicious fruity pineapple and apple note. So delicious and fruity but it can get quite sweet and cloying if not worn properly. I made a mistake of wearing it to office, as I had misjudged its strength and potency. I was like a walking pineapple all throughout the day and it just wasn't in any mood to let go of me. Due to its linearity, it can get boring quickly. But those seeking the Z01 /xyz fruity batch (only for the fruity notes ? ) should definitely give this one a try. Personally, I'm not that impressed. I prefer a little bit more complexity (Oh hi, Aventus!) than what it offers, and the sweet juicy smell becomes a bit too much for me. One of the better releases from Bond No 9 though.

I have both this and The Scent of Peace, and could never quite figure out what it is I like more about TSOP...and today it finally hit me. I also have New York Musk, and in that one there is a very prominent note in the opening that I have trouble moving past. It’s not “awful”, just “off” to me. This morning when I gave this a spray I got that same not, only buried and traceable only in whiffs now and then. The only real difference I can see, is that the Black Currant is shared between NYM, and 9.Com, but absent in TSOP, and everyone says that is the prominent note they smell in NYM, “one of the best”...my nose disagrees. Obviously, fragrance is subjective, and there could be a lot of factors going into WHY I don’t get along with Bond’s black currant, so I won’t say it’s “bad” by any means. Performance is great, and this rivals PV Intense for pineapple, I just wish I got along better with that one note.

Bond No9.Com (AKA The Digital Village) is a good performing but shorter lasting and versatile compliment getting scent. It projects a decent amount, even though you can get anosmic to it very quickly but doesn't last a massive amount of time, although not bad. It definitely garners positive attention because it is very bright and uplifting. It is comparable to a mix of Aventus in the air and Scent Of Peace on skin but i find it to be less interesting than the 2 aforementioned. Overall, i would highly recommend this one, especially for the hot weather. The only reason i did not hold on to this one is because i feel that Aventus and Orion (Another similar scent) do this vibe just a bit better. I also dislike the name and wish they would have just named it Digital Village like in the official description. Longevity- 6 Performance- 8 Compliments- 8 Scent Character- 8 Overall- 8

As a person who own's Creed Aventus (2017 batch). This is a very similar scent on the opening. However I must say I enjoy the dry down on this scent vs the spiciness I get from Aventus. The pineapple in Bond no 9 .COM keeps going, even on the dry end. The smell has it's own unique take on freshness. However, I do notice that the longevity on this one is average for the price you pay. Just buy it at a discounter and you've got a pretty great scent and AWESOME looking bottle for around 120$. At least it's what I paid, and I think it's worth every penny. The smell: 10/10 (LOVE THAT PINEAPPLE OPENING!) Quality : 6/10 (It's iffy, my wife gets better longevity on her skin.) Price: 4/10 (I can't stress this enough. Do NOT buy at retail price! I'm not saying I don't support Bond no 9. Hell I bought New York oud for full price and that was definitely worth it! But not this!).

I wanted to love the house of Bond No. 9 so badly, but after sampling the vast majority of their products I have to admit that I'm dissappointed. They are so prolific that they are the Mormon family of perfume houses. With so many options one is bound to find something that they like...sort of. My main problem with Bond No. 9 is the overly synthetic DNA of their fragrances. It's enough of a problem that I can't see myself ever buying let alone wearing one of their scents, even though there a few I really like. Bondno9.com is probably my favorite, I'm tempted to wear it but again the synthetic nature keeps me away. If You don't have a problem with this I highly recommend this one, the fruity woodsy accords are very pleasant and fairly bold. If it smelled natural I would rate it 8.6/10, but as it is I have to score it at 6.6/10.

This is a weird one. It’s very synthetic. To the person below: I agree that synthetic isn’t bad necessarily. But .com has a lot of very heavy, cheap musks and Iso E super in the base and that’s what I think puts people off of this one (and off of Bond No 9 generally). It comes off very “chemically” after the fruit tops fades an hour or so in. This one has a pineapple top that’s juicy and some juniper with heavy musk and woody cedar in the base. It’s clearly an early Aventus inspired by scent but a lot of the cheaper and newer clones do what .com was trying to do but at 10% of the cost and they do it far better. Longevity is solid around 6-7 hours with okay longevity for an hour. A 7.75/10. It’s good and it’s interesting but I prefer L’Aventure Intense or CDNIM Parfum...or Esencia EDP being the best of all!

I received a bottle of this as a gift a couple of years ago. I do wear it time to time specially in the warmer periods. The scent opens with a fresh fruity note that is immediately reminiscent of Aventus. After a few minutes, the fresh fruity aspect subsides and it settles to a pleasant scent in which the citrus aromatic notes have a more prominent role. Indeed, in the dry down it's less Aventus and more a familiar citrus aromatic combination that Bond No 9 has developed in it's previous creations. It is a nice fresh and uplifting scent that has good quality and is very pleasant to the nose. On my skin it's longevity is below average but while it is there the projection is OK. If it's my money, I would save it for the other options at this price.

Far from Aventus, strong, linear, deodorant like smell, not elegant, complex or upscale like Aventus is. Very fruity in the opening and ambery towards the end (weird combination). Very synthetic smelling and very overwhelming and cloying at times. In small doses could be a good summer scent. While this is inspired by Aventus, one more time, it isn't Aventus. I'd say performance wise, this is by far stronger than any Creed (once again, synthetic means strong). I guarantee you a lot more people will like Aventus over this, but it's not a bad scent and I will use it in my collection (just not as a big hitter). That's all you need to know. :)

If you’re a fan of aventus, Hacivat, pineapple vintage...You’ll also enjoy this one. Another pineapple heavy fragrance. I believe it is bonds version of aventus. The scent is mass appealing. Each of the frags mentioned are similar, but have slight differences. I think this one in particular doesn’t last as long as the others mentioned or project as much. With that said it’s still stronger than the current batches of aventus. I believe at the time of this review it’s been discontinued, and is selling for much more than what it’s worth. And if you own the others mentioned it would be a redundant pick up. Good fragrance nonetheless.

Based on my first wearing, this one is extremely similar to The scent of peace. This is a bit unfortunate as although i like The scent of peace, i bought this one because i was hoping it would have a similar vibe to Aventus- which i also own. Whoever said this one makes you nose blind is 100% correct. The first time i wore it, i thought it faded off after an hour but eventually got a very enthusiastic compliment. I do like it and it seems like it will be quite mass appealing but i will test it a lot more first to see if i end up really liking it or if it falls off for me.

Just got a 20ml split. This is nothing like Aventus. The quality is not even close to Creeds. This is sweet n fresh with a hint of musk and amber. Was very excited to try this but first impressions are not great. Perhaps my skin chemistry is causing it to smell rather cheap. Will try it on my clothes and see if that improves things. This is not a bad fragrance but its no great shakes either. 3/5

Top notch pineapple fix. A strong and outgoing type of pineapple. Also contagiously fun. It's tailor made for summer but an easy-reach type that can brighten the atmosphere anytime. Above average projection and stays strong on clothes and even skin 12+ hours. It's linear and smells very clean. Totally different fragrance than Aventus. Rating - 8.5-9/10

Tried a small decant of this after reading all the comparisons to Aventus. They are in the same family - similar but not nearly identical. This smells a lot more synthetic to me, especially after first sprayed. The apple note is a lot more noticeable here too. Overall, it's nice but I don't think it's worthy of its price.

The bergamot at the beginning smells fresh, and yet feels “baked”, as if sticky pineapple syrup has been spilled on it. It is musky and smoky, and artificial. It bears the name of a website, of course it should be more digital than natural. There is a hot sense of something burning, and I am smiling. ****(*)

This smells EXACTLY like Insurrection II Pure. The only difference is quality. It starts out with the same pineapple as the Z01 batch of Aventus. I think this is Aventus without any smoke at all. To make your own classic Z01 batch spray one spray of Aventus and two sprays of this!

A really good alternative for people who like Creed Aventus but think it's a little too heavy/smoky. The cedar wood makes all the difference here.

This smells a lot like Aventus to me. The dry down is missing the smokiness of Aventus but the opening is too similar to warrant having both.
