Bleu Satin

I’ve been in the niche fragrance game for years, like always,I blind bought a bunch of samples by going off notes and no reviews. Reviews, including mine should never be taken seriously, rather give you general direction or for me entertainment. I’ve missed out on so many gems and found so many by being my own.. ANYWAYS. this reminds me of Aventus, like a lot. But it’s not, it’s a well crafted and unique fragrance. This is definitely masculine, which as a 33 yr old male, I prefer. It’s so vibrant and young feeling , yet has a highly sophisticated and dollar value to it . IF you like Nishane havicat and Creeds Aventus, do yourself a favor and try this, gives you a different take on the genre I personally think Aventus isn’t what people make it out to be. I remember when it came out and all the hype it had, I couldn’t wait to get my nose on it ... then it came and I was like, hmmm yeah this smells good, but I wanted more. I am not a fan of clones, it’s not original. However, Nishane killed Aventus in my opinion and That makes me excited. This fragrance didn’t kill anything but it’s good. It will be a hit as well.

I've smelled and owned Aventus, Hacivat, Bond.com, SOP, Orion, Morning Chess and others and I think this is just as good as Aventus, and better than current batches on the drydown (where it's similar).But the opening and mid (first 45 minutes) are different imo. This opens with prominent black currant/cassis. Watermelon note comes in later and it smells better than I was expecting. Not synthetic smelling. This is also pretty strong and has decent longevity and projection. This is better than current batches of Aventus which have more bergamot and less musk. There's a high quality saffron and blackberry here too but I don't get leather or much woods on my skin. In the drydown you do get some Aventus feels. This might be may favorite take on this type of scent except vintage batches of Aventus, which are better. Over the years I've grown tired of the Aventus DNA, but this is different enough to get me excited about it again. Quality, blending, ingredients, uniqueness (somewhat), performance, it's all here. Scent 8.5/10 Performance 7/10

Well, it took me a few wearings, but I think I've found my favorite fragrance in the Aventus scent profile orbit. At first I thought "oh, just another Aventus clone". But I just enjoy this more. The "fruity" and "woody" accords on the Fragrantica page should be reversed. For both Bleu Satin and Aventus. "Fruity" should be listed high up on the accord stack for this, and "woody" should be lower. Bleu Satin, for me at least, is far more fruity than Aventus, in both prominence and persistence. I like Aventus and have a full bottle, but have always been a bit annoyed with the pencil-smelling smokey birch drydown. Aventus would be better with the fruitiness of Bleu Satin. MDCI comes through again. I have full bottles of Invasion Barbare and Chypré Palatin, and have already put Ambre Topkapi and Le Barbier de Tanger on my full bottle to-buy list. Bleu Satin will join them.

Oh wow – the Aventus feel is there, but this just feels better and just more elevated. This has a slight bubblegum element to it, which I do enjoy, as well as the fruity-citrus accord. I feel it works, as a unified scent, with a concept, a theme and the execution. I’m gonna need to try this out a few more times as I am quite taken by it. I usually give a scent a few wears before I make a decision on it, but as far as first impressions, it’s a big yes. ***EDIT*** Sampled this three or four more times, and to me it is too much like Aventus. That might not be the experience you have, but it is mine. Nothing at all wrong with Aventus, or even that this smells like that, but it just isn't amazing enough for me and my tastes. You might love it, though. I didn't love it enough...

Was super worried about the bad reviews below... I really like Aventus smells, but creed has lost it’s quality, I have 3 bottles from MDCI which I like it so much!! Ceclie is also one of my favorite perfumer, so i bought it yesterday. Sprayed 4 times today, the longevity and sillage is surprisingly good with my body chemistry! I sprayed at 7am I still can smell it at 6pm I’m so so so happy the dried down is way smoother than Aventus. A must try, try it on your skin! Don’t let the comments below disappoint you Edit: have been wearing this for 5 days performance is amazing it lasts on my skin for 10hours+
