Option Review:30ml Spray Since my spray has macerated, I want to leave a more detailed review. It's even closer to the original now! And my absolute favorite.
The only difference I can notice compared to the original is this having less cedar. It makes saffron a little more prominent on the skin. But there's zero difference in the air! To my nose, this is like airy cotton candy with sparkling flowery and salty touches. Very transparent. One spray lasts for hours, but keeps vanishing and reappearing.
If this disappears to your nose quickly, keep wearing one spray and avoid smelling the spraying location. Let it surprise you in the air! I originally didn't smell this at all. I just needed to become familiar with it. This is actually more concentrated and lasts even longer than the original.
This is probably the best smell I have ever experienced in my life, so I'm glad to have it for so cheap. 10 times cheaper than BR540. Even if this was half the price, it'd still be a no-brainer. Give it a shot and find out whether you like this rather weird and different scent!

This totally skips the original's opening, but is 99% identical after 15 mins. Over time they start becoming different again. The original's base is a very natural and clean vanilla with some woods and pepper. Here it's a thick caramel with pepper. Smells a lot like Prada Candy, even though the original has no resemblance! If you like the original, you'll like this. This is a bit thicker and more for cold weather. Both last very long.

Lasts longer than the original. If you find this to disappear quickly, you're simply anosmic to it, and would find the original even more short-lived. Scent is almost identical, with a tiny bit more saffron. Not noticeable unless comparing side by side.

Simply great, on par with other Aventus clones that cost 4x as much! If you think the longevity is weak, you'd probably be amazed if this was 24 pounds for 50ml and lasted twice as long. But it's just 12 pounds, so you can apply twice as much to make up for it.

Insane projection and longevity. Even better than the normal version, which is already good! Fresh pine tree / pencil shavings scent is a little stronger than in the normal version, so I can notice the addition of Iso-E Super as a booster. But it improves the scent in my opinion.
