Awesome Pour Homme

Describing an Aventus style fragrance is useless nowadays... I just want to tell you how to interpret this: If you want something like Hawas Black, but smoother and less pungent (that is not a beast), this is good. It has a superb pineapple note compared to other Aventus alternatives that I have (L'Aventure and Rumz Zebra are super well done, but lack the pineapple IMO, Awesome has a good pineapple blast). What I can get in the background, very tamed, but noticeable, is the praline note that amps up that pineapple + a nice clean patchuli. I don't think there is more to say about this as most people have smelled something in this style. Nonetheless , it is a very well done fragrance! Hope this helps! Cheers!

Update: I wore all at once: Creed Aventus Absolu, Armaf Precieux 1, Afnan SCE, Rasasi Awesome, FW Nightclub Absolute. All are clearly in the same scent family—if you like one, you’ll like them all, period. Nightclub Absolute: Closest to the Creed (i tested likely 2025 batch) but also the weakest, similar projection/longevity to Creed. Precieux 1: Stronger and richer/heavier, noticeably deviates from the OG. Chose it over Creed/NA mainly for performance, but price is much higher than NA—judge by budget. Afnan SCE: Biggest deviation from OG, but best-smelling to me. Strongest projection and performance, half the price of Precieux—my favorite overall. Rasasi Awesome: Second closest to OG after NA, but fruitier (ripe, not fresh). Similar performance, maybe slightly stronger. Choice between this and NA depends on mood. Poland prices (approx.): Precieux: 180 PLN / 50 ml SCE: 190 PLN / 100 ml Awesome: 75 PLN / 100 ml Nightclub Absolu: 100 PLN / 100 ml Between NA vs Rasasi: price difference is negligible. Choose NA for closer Creed DNA, Rasasi if you prefer fruitier. Overall: All are good, but Afnan SCE is my top pick. If unavailable, I’d consider Precieux for performance—but price would likely push me toward Awesome/NA instead.

It smells like Afnan Supremacy Collector’s Edition combined with some spices that I also detect in two Sauvage clones I own (Armaf Urban Man Elixir and Hamdan The Sheikh by Arabiyat Prestige). I assume it’s a pink pepper note(?). For some, this might be an interesting alternative to the smell of Afnan SCE; personally, I prefer the Afnan and I have separate clones for the Sauvage-style dna. But as I said, someone might actually enjoy this slight twist in the direction of Sauvage. But still, it's mainly Aventus Absolute smell, only with a noticeable note of pink pepper(?) which i associate very much with Sauvage.

A light aventus absolu inspired fragrance, medium performance, medium quality, a little more flowery, fruity and less depth than the original. Creamy. More unisex. 20-25€ worthy. Edit: after masterating for 3 months, performance gets better and a little bit more complex, it’s a closer take on Absolu now if I compare it to french avenue night club absolute or armaf precieux... this is better, overall. Good job, Rasasi.
