Poseidon's Elixir 11Z

@La Nuit Noir is a bold faced liar. This is why you should NEVER read reviews. This clown actually recommends Al Haramain over dua. Thats like recommending Mcdonalds over a 5 star Ribeye steak. Theres IDIOTS all over on the Internet. POSEIDON 11Z is the KING! Ive smelled all the arab clones from armaf to al haramain and Afnan etc and none of them come close to Duas quality, except Parfums Vintage. This batch has the Birch Tar from Spain. Mahsam from Dua did his research and had to track down where Creed actually got their Birch Tar from and found out its from Spain. Its an ultra realistic smoke and pineapple. Its super strong and a room filler. Duas bottles are mixed fresh per order so let it macerate for 2 weeks and its good to go. Mine was strong from the get go. Every time I wear this I get compliments from left to right. Dont let these dirty, bad hygiene clowns discourage you from trying this fragrance its an absolute MASTERPIECE. Also Dua Poseidon 13ZZ is a Masterpiece as well, smells vastly different from 11Z. 13ZZ is more of a vanilla fragrance than the smoke bomb 11Z.

I agree with guy below me this stuff is amazing. By far my favorite aventus dupe. Ive smelled a lot of them and currently have the poseidons elixir 2.0 which is too much citrus and fruit and not enough smokiness but this captures the perfect amount of birch and smoke and it somehow seems fresher being less fruity. Smells more natural and high quality than the CND IM and IM Extraits that I have as well although I do like those for the differences they bring to the table. Anyway long story short this is underrated, could be the best Aventus dupe out there for all i know 9/10 easy! And I suspect performance will be great since dua never disappoints with that

Just an update to inform people better. The smoke in this one is not the BBQ or beef Jerry smoked meat smell. This is a fresh and uplifting birch that you smell on the very opening of the OG that disappears within 20-30 seconds. This is that smoke at its core. If you want the BBQ smoke then get 13N, its beautiful also. Way better smoke and quality than all the middle eastern clones.

I don't know what Aventus smells like but this is supposedly a 2011 batch clone. All I'll say is that it projects and lasts a long time. My first time I sprayed 3 times on neck (2 under ears and 1 on the back of the neck), and I was immediately dizzy because of how strong the smell is. It does smell a little synthetic at first (I only have myself to blame because I sprayed extrait de parfum 3 full sprays lol), but it drys down to a more soothing smell after about 10 minutes or so.

Sits very close to skin as it is extrait de parfum. If this is what 11z01 smells like, then it is not a whole lot different from supremacy not only intense; however that frag is so black currant heavy, I get nauseated from it. This is not nauseating; quite pleasant. Would not spend more than $45 on 30mL though. Edit: fades fast, maybe the bottle needs time to open up.

11Z had artificial sweet fruity notes, and doesn't actually smell close enough to Aventus to be considered a clone, and as a stand-alone not worth it compared to any other general citrus woody scents. I also tried 13Z which was actually awful, a really bad smokey fake wood accord and way off from Aventus. I'd instead recommend clones like Al Haramain L'Aventure. Alexandria 13Z is actually a rather close fragrance for that batch, and has a spot-on pineapple note with light smokey birch that actually smells like woods and not just smoke. Tried a 1ml sample to see if Dua were worth it or not, and tried a few of the fragrances that had the most positive receptions. I found they mostly weren't very good at all, with a few exceptions however, but even those weren't as good as the originals they were based on.

ive smelt MANY aventus style fragrances and this is definitely top 3. the quality is top notch. so perfectly blended, very smooth. very citrus heavy, a tad creamy, pineapple, woods, clean. not even close to as harsh as alot of others in this genre. wish club de nuit wasnt as harsh and synthetic? this is the one you've been looking for!
