Ultra

haven't worn this, but writing a review for a classmate's perfume. She's a gal that likes to wear cologne, but it definitely reads masculine because someone mistook it for mine and I'm a man. MOntblanc Explorer is one of my all-time favorites, this is not that, but it's adjacent. I absolutely HATE Sauvage, so I know this isn't related to it. I'm not sure what it is a dupe of, but the listed notes are very accurate, pineapple when she gets to class, then bergamot and black pepper throughout the day. I worked an eight hour clinical rotation next to her and she still smelled very lightly fresh from an appropriate distance. Smells great. Would recommend to anyone. Amazing work for $30.

My thoughts on this fragrance. This is a juicy, almost 'photorealistic pineapple' forward fragrance that brings out the best of aventus' opening for a good 4-5 hours. Linear, fresh and clean, and genuinely fun to wear. I've sampled aventus and CDNIM, and picked up a 10ml of this for 10 bucks, and I'm delighted with this pickup! Easy to wear, the great glass vial for the 10ml bottle looks much better than the full size in my opinion. If you like the aventus DNA or are new to fragrances, the 10ml is a great pickup, but it's not worth a full bottle. 6.9/10

For a Target fragrance, you really can’t go wrong with Fine’ry. I had a $20 gift card so I only paid around $12 and change for the 60mL bottle. Ultra is clean & masculine. I can see why others say it’s close to Aventus. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear this one all day yet so I cannot speak to the performance. However, the opening & dry down after about 10 mins have been pleasant. If you’re newer to fragrances or don’t have an unlimited budget, the Fine’ry line from Target is really a good place to start.

Chances are you bought this as an aventus dupe, for that I'd say it's pretty well worth its money. Well not exactly the same, It is quite similar, and pleasant. However, the performance is near pathetic. Sillage is next to non-existent, And you'll find yourself needing to reapply it every half hour. It's worth the money, but the performance is laughable and therefore I would recommend just going for the real thing

Scent is great as it’s copying a very mass appealing DNA, but for the price point there’s better Aventus clones. $30 for 60ml isn’t horrible, but with subpar longevity, projection, and price/ml to CDNIM it’s just okay value. It is a very linear black pepper and pineapple profile, and while it does work, it’s just a like not a love.
