Bergamot & Musk

I really do not understand how people can review a fragrance and make comparisons to a specific other fragrance when they haven't even smelled the fragrance they are making the comparison to. It doesn't make any sense. Such as comparing this fragrance to Creed Aventus. They never smelled one or the other, yet they say "I've never smelled it, but.." Stop right there. Don't even bother. Any credibility just went out the window. SMH. I've owned a smaller bottle of Aventus and Cremo Bergamot and Musk fragrance has a very similar scent to it. It lacks a little of pineapple note, but Bergamot & Musk does a good job of smelling like Creed Aventus (85-90%) at a fraction of the price and is a delightful, bright, uplifting and beautiful fragrance all on it's own. One of the best from their line of fragrances. Well done Cremo! I can say this one is a Home Run! It makes me feel good when I wear it. It smells so good and the responses from others have been great. A daily fragrance, work and gym friendly with 4 sprays or maybe even less. Especially good for a date night in warmer temps. I know, some people think its only a daytime fragrance. Night wearing also works, depending on the setting. Definitely a Spring/Summer scent. Could be worn in the Fall. It's a wonderful fresh fragrance that shouldn't be overlooked. I'm saying don't sleep on it! Cremo fragrances would sell easily for much more if they were in a different bottle and had a brand name on it. Fact. Cremo offers great bang-for-the-buck scents and well worth owning. Unless of course you're a frag snob. To you I say "Good day."

My church family went a little Cremo crazy for me this year. I got Bourbon Vanilla, Blue Cedar & Cypress, Iced Citron & Driftwood and this one, Bergamot & Musk along with some of the shampoo/conditioners. For the price, these fragrances are all very solid. Bergamot & Musk does remind me a bit of a fruitier batch of Creed's Aventus. None of the Cremo's are 100% clones but would be cheaper alternatives that are inspired by the higher end designers and niche brands they are trying to emulate. Out all the Cremos, Spice & Black Vanilla is by far the best smelling and longest lasting but none of them are slouches. If you're on a budget and don't have access to a good online discounter, then this is good enough to get the scent profile of Aventus without the quality. If you do have a good discounter, there are better options for Aventus clones but this is still an okay option for the price. I'm glad that I didn't pay for this but also glad to add it to my collection. I'm now only missing 3 Cremo's in order to have the whole line. At the price of them, I'd be happy to own them all.

Hello and welcome to my second Cremo review! My previous review was for Blue Cedar Cypress, another great frag. I can almost smell what people mean when they say that this is an Aventus clone, but I disagree. On first spray, it smells like the drydown for Club de Nuit Intense Man; dry wood (birch), pineapple, and an herbal tone. I'll give you that one. However, this frag's drydown is what differentiates it from Aventus/Aventus clones. The drydown on this is amped-up musk and woody notes with just a touch of fruit coming through: think of it like a birch-scented dryersheet that went through the wash with a shirt that so happened to have Aventus sprayed on it and you come pretty close. I personally think this is another excellent standalone frag from Cremo: it has a clean, office-friendly vibe that is great for spring and summer.

The opening will absolutely remind you of the fruity, sweet and fresh opening of Aventus but when it dries down, it's a creamy, fruity musk fragrance that shouldn't last forever but somehow it does. Absolutely stellar performance for the price. I was gifted a bottle and put on the shelf thinking to myself, "oh great, another Aventus clone" and just forgot about it but I decided to wear it as my scent of the evening yesterday and dang, it's good. I first sprayed it on at 5:30pm and this morning as I was getting ready for work, 12 hours later, I was still catching wafts. Absolutely great smelling and amazing performance for a $20 cheapie. Cremo does it again...

Cremo Bergamot and Musk smells like the dry down of Aventus. Im not sure how people dont get that but it does. Is it exactly like Aventus? No, but it's in the ballpark. It's not smoky but it has that similar DNA and smells terrific! Cremo B&M lasts forever and the 1st day I wore it I got a compliment 11hrs after I put it on, which is insane. It's a $22.99 fragrance sold at Target that in no way shape or form smells cheap. Check it out and judge for yourself. It's a winner in my book.
