What wearers say
“As others have stated, performance could be better, and I have the F batch. Disregarding performance, this stuff smells amazing. Smells like sparkling orange juice in a forest, incredibly fresh, and perfect for any summer occasion IMO. Summer signature worthy, and I haven't found anyone who dislikes it.”
“This is my go-to summer niche. I get about 7 hours of performance, which is way more than the 4ish I usually got from Erolfa, VIW, Neroli Sauvage, and Milliseme Imperial and most other summer niches. Opening is very Aventus, the mid and dry lose the smoke and dials down the pepper. It gets quite a few compliments. The comparison to Chanel AHS is good, though I find AHS smells a little dated to me. A rebuy for certain. I think this will be what I smell like in summer for the foreseeable future.”
“If u like Aventus but want something fresher, this one is for You. Aventus DNA but instead of smoky pineapple u get fresh mandarin, longevity is nothing more than average but still longer lasting than some of original aventus batches. Great scent amazing for compliments but don't expect long lasting beast.”
