Evento Uomo

The opening is mostly bergamot and blackcurrant, while the other fruits (if any) desperately fight for attention. It feels fruity at first, but there's no sunshine, instead, it's bitter and sharp. After about 10 minutes, the pineapple shows up, wrapped with birch and hints of smoke. As time passes I get even more birch. Moss is known to be smoky in certain compositions, the moss in Evento is no exception. Originally, I didn’t care for this one as it smelled off-balanced and it can come off as synthetic. So it was stowed away in the closet and forgotten about, up until recently. The juice has matured since then, as it's more nuanced now. I love the wafts I get of smoke, birch, and patch in the dry down. This one tops Explorer, and smells better in the air. Performance is moderate, so don't expect beast mode out of this one.

Yep, another Aventus clone confirmed. It is close enough, considering the price (15€ for 100ml). Performance is on the average level of things (not as good as the 'original', or Montblanc Explorer). For the price, good buy. Longevity 7/10 - 5-6 hours. Projection 7/10 - average projection nearly 2 hours. The Scent 7/10 - close enough to Aventus. Value - 10/10 - the cheapest Aventus clone I have seen, yet close enough. A downside with this one, as well as most Capucci fragrances seems to be the availability. I got mine for Farmacosmo (Italian online store). They had stock on Pour Homme, Suave (a very good Dior Sauvage clone) and Evento Uomo.

Many dismiss Capucci Evento Uomo as just another Creed Aventus clone, but the truth is far more interesting. Behind this creation stands a deeply respected, legendary perfumer. To my nose, it actually outperforms the "King" itself—and at one-tenth of the price. I prefer to call it an inspired homage rather than a cheap copy. After all, Roberto Capucci is an iconic, old-school house that scented our parents' generation here in Italy. If anything, the classic Capucci DNA heavily inspired the very first Giorgio Armani releases, proving that the student learned from the master long ago.

Best Aventus clone ever. Pineapple and bergamot in the opening are sublime and in the dry down, the smoky, woody, mossy notes are true gems that really shine. Also longevity exceeds beyond expectations. Almost 10 hours in my case. Really recommend it!

If you can get past the rather heavy dose of DHM in this one, the rest of the blend is excellent for the price. I've seen some comparisons to the original 2015 release of Zara's Vibrant Leather and that's about its closest companion. Really, it' more of a cross between a lighter and fruitier version of Insurrection Pure II and a clone of Cedrat Boise I smelled on a friend once. If you spray enough - especially on clothing - there's a superb hint of vanilla in the mid and base that makes this one stand out above most other clones, especially for the meager price tag. Unfortunately, if you're looking for excellent presentation, a strong projector or even above average longevity, this ain't it. Not sure if I need to let my bottle sit for a few months, because mine is weak juice. Not a problem though since it's about half the price of most clones and I overspray this one like a mofo. Plus it layers really well. Cheap, well balanced, on the fruity side and soft. That's about all you need to know. A strong like for me. Scent - 7.5/10 Longevity - 4/10 Projection - 4/10 Overall - 7.5/10 - mainly because of the value
