Brasilia

The scent is actually pretty close to the original but the scent does not stick around very long. Where I typically only have to apply once a day, this has to be reapplied 2-3 times. The lack of staying power is why I ranked so low.

The Fragrance Smells exactly like the original Creed Aventus to my nose. The signature pineapple, bergamot, smoky woods, and musk are all there, with excellent quality and performance. Side-by-side, it’s incredibly close to the OG and captures the same fresh, fruity, masculine DNA that made Aventus famous. Amazing value for the price and easily one of the best Aventus-inspired fragrances I’ve tried. The Packaging Packaging and bubble wrap could be improve. Unfortunately, the shipment arrived with 1 broken bottle and leakage inside the package. The leaked perfume damaged the Brasilia label on my bottle, which was disappointing to see. But Alexandria Team was fast enough to send a new bottle. Thank youu

This mimics the fruit forward batches of Aventus- which are more mass appealing, but not my thing personally. It really does smell pretty good though. Not sure it'll pass as a 1:1- but, as with previous products, I'm going to let it sit a bit and try again. So, for now, knowing Alexandria is usually spot on- five stars.
