Addicted Intense

I have been building my fragrance collection back up within the last 12 months. One of the trails I have been going down is the "Inspired by" or "clone of" Aventus. I have 2 different decant batches of Aventus. While it's smells good overall, I find it fades quickly on my skin and I would not be willing to pay for a full bottle of it. Having said all that, about 4 months ago one of the YouTubers that specializes in this whole area recommended Hamidi Addicted Intense. While many would say it's "an Aventus clone", I was say, "yes" but it also stands on its own, because it has it's own unique qualities. I personally think it's better than the latest Aventus you would purchase in '2024. I only paid around €55 euros for a 120ml size bottle. What a deal! Not that I am seeking compliments, but I have gotten compliments from women and men. This is the first fragrance I have owned that is water based so it feels a bit more heavier applying on the skin but it's not an issue for me. In terms of sillage, I do not have enough third party feedback to make a judgement call yet. Overall, I am quite happy with this purchase and it's one of my favorites in my collection. It's quite versatile and a robust masculine scent. If you like this one, you might like the following fragrances that (all that I mention, I own and rotate through): Loewe Esencia EDP, | Loewe Esencia Elixir | Loewe Esencia (more boozy, green grass, 70's style) | Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense | Insider Parfums Insidious

Was skeptical to buy this perfume, as I had my doubts about its projection as it is water based, but then I decided to buy it either ways inspite of having ‘CDNIM pure parfum’, which though is well blended and has a beautiful scent profile has a very moderate performance, even after being kept for maturation on my shelf since past one month. Had least expectations from ‘Hamidi Intense’ and guess what I was rejoicing after spraying it for the very first time. It has a very Beautiful lemony opening with a hint of pineapple and some fruitiness, the mid smelling of the aforesaid notes mixed with some smokiness and musk just made it feel more pleasing and the dry down remaining almost the same. Would I recommend it over CDNIM Pure Parfum, A Big Yes. Has superb scent profile, decent longevity and Projection. In fact I found that it projects better than CDNIM. Smells Luxurious.

Addicted Intense by Hamidi is, among the countless Creed Aventus clones and inspirations, my absolute winner. Its alcohol-free, high-oil concentration sets it apart from most competitors, giving the fragrance a richer, smoother feel and helping it last impressively long. Despite its very low price, the scent smells quality and refined, making it an easy recommendation for any Aventus fan. A true standout in the world of budget Aventus interpretations. Scent: 5/5 Longevity & Projection: 1/1 Presentation: 0.5/0 Quality/Price Ratio: 2/2 Compliment Factor: 1/1 Uniqueness: 0/1 Overall: 9.5/10 Office-friendly: Yes Blind buy: Yes (if you love Aventus DNA) Recommended age: 20+ Occasion: Office, smart casual, evening outings Season: Spring, Summer, early Fall

This is genuinely the best Aventus clone on the market. For what you pay it smells fantastic and has pretty good performance (after you let it oxidise for a bit), certainly better than the OG. 120mls of a very high concentration of quite natural smelling oils (this is non alcoholic). It's perfectly balanced between those 3 core notes of Aventus; pineapple/blackcurrant fruity - bergamot/lemon citrus - smokey/birch woodiness. This is definitely better than CDNIM limited edition, even though it's technically the same company and depending on where you look it is actually cheaper than CDNIM. If you want a clone of Aventus and you can get this without a scalper mark up, then it's a no brainer.

High quality perfume that after five minutes of strange opening becomes almost identical to the Aventus. It does not contain alcohol, which you immediately notice. For this reason, although the longevity is very good, the projection is average. It is worth more than its price, 22€ for 120ml. I can compare it to Club de nuit edt that i own and i can easily say that it is far superior in quality. One of Creed Aventus' best clones hands down although I like addicted absolutely intense version more.
