Brasilia Prive

My go to Creed Aventus for the early batches. Very well blended and hits the musky, smokey base perfectly. Thank God I finally found one that doesn't just smell like pineapple (which everyone seems to think makes it something "Aventus").

Can't say it enough...absolute best Aventus clone there is. Not a fruit forward option like some other options. So be warned. This is a smokey, musky, bold (well blended) option.

I will start by saying that I've been on the Aventus clone rabbit hole for years- 28 options later, I finally found the one here!! I originally ordered every Brasilia in the line but the original Brasilia (which is coming) based on so many saying that it wasn't even close. I eventually decided that these were likely the same people who think CDN Intense Man is a close match- so I decided to get that one anyway. So far, I can speak on the Prive as the best in the Brasilia line, it ended up being spot on (1:1) to the original (F000976, F003136). This is the first clone I've smelled that actually gets the musk base notes perfectly- most get it wrong or don't even have it. I have since ordered the 100mL and this has now become my go-to when I don't want to use my Aventus. I will add- this is so close, that I can spray Aventus on my neck, and use Prive on my pulse points, and to refresh during the day. Beautiful and worth it. If Brasilia is good, I'll let y'all know!!
