Avant Silk

This is a very regal perfume. I’ve never smelled the og, but this is very nice once it settles. I’m sure as it sits it will mellow even more. It’s very dark fruit, incense and leather. I get a little sweetness too, but it’s a stewed fruit/rum kind of sweetness not sugar. I was worried after I read the reviews but I’m glad I took a chance on this! For the price, it’s worth it.

These are not the correct notes! This is an excellent clone of queen of silk, in the air you would be hard pressed to tell them apart and it lasts 8 hours on my skin, longer on clothes.

Epic clone of Creed Queen Of Silk! Sillage is powerful and lasts 10+ hours on skin.

I bought this bc of the reviewer who said this is what a Dominatrix would smell like. It arrived on February 6th, 2026 and I immediately hated it. That's not even a strong enough word for how much I absolutely detested this sucker. And it had HANG TIME too, which was even worse. I put it back in its box and tucked it into the 'fume Tomb to rest and HOPEFULLY smooth out and become something I didnt want to throw through a plate glass window. I checked it a few times between now and then and always felt the same way. Pure dislike. Its cool and breezy here today, and there is a definite nip in the air. I decided to check on Avant Silk again, just to see. Still smells bad when sniffing the bottle. I did two sprays on my breast bone and WOW! SUCH a different (and better!) experience than sniffing the nozzle!! I LIKE it now! After I sprayed it on, I decided to apply some Equate Divine Cocoa body oil gel (not for layering; I was really dry and itchy) and I have to say, the smooth cocoa scent is mixing with the Avant Silk and Im not mad at it! Im smelling yummy and thats awesome! Im glad I listened to that reviewer who said this is what a Dominatrix smells like. I didnt have anything like this in my collection and now I do! As far as how this smells, I smell dark flowers and a sweet softness. Yum!

Just took this out after having left it in the cabinet to mature for several months. Boy! It is still incredibly potent! I have to say, on me it cruises directly to the base notes. Strong patchouli, amber and musk! I have to get to know it better, but I don’t think I enjoy this one much. I get something very menthol/medicinal mixed with a creamy somewhat nutty and leathery scent. It does settle down a bit after twenty minutes or so, but even for me, I just think it’s too in your face. I love a louder fragrance typically but this is maybe too loud and too unusual for me to enjoy. I don’t even think I’d enjoy this on my husband. I think this may be an “either you love it or you hate it” kind of scent. I’m not quite sure where I fall, I need to get to know it better. However, right now I’m leaning for the latter. I don’t find this feminine or sexy. Perhaps it needs a bit longer in the cabinet to mature further. I’ll revisit this again in a couple months before I start pulling out my spring scents and update if it changes. Ok, three hours later, it has settled down so much! I really am starting to enjoy it! This may be one that I only love the deep drydown! I would have to spray this lightly in the morning for it to smell beautiful by dinner but I do think I can grow to like it. I think I don’t care for the saffron leather combo. Once that fades it’s so much more pleasant to my nose. I may keep this and let it sit for about a year and then see how it goes before I get rid of it.
