Avalanche Woody For Men 1848 - Batch - A42B11S01

Option Review:30ml Spray Extract
This is soo good! From all the Aventus inspired scents this is my favourite. (I have CDNI (edt, edp), Exlorer, Hacivat, Insurrection Pure II and a 19p11 batch of real Aventus). Avalanche Woody hits the creamy roasted birch of Aventus really well! Also the fruity pineapple freshness is there and well done. Smelling it side by side to Aventus 19p11 it is scary good how close the accords are to my nose. It misses a few peripheral notes that I can pick up in the original, so yes, there are differences, but not differences in terms of wrong notes but in terms of missing notes. But the basic characteristic accords that really build Aventus are spot on! Blindly smelling I would think is a batch of the original (can‘t say that of the other clones I know)! Also the whole dry drown stays close to Aventus, it doesn’t fall apart or drives off to a different smell. Longevity and Projection is similar, maybe even better than the original one. I tried the other Avalanches and would not recommend them.

If you like sweet vanilla and toffee notes, this one's for you. Way too sweet for my liking though, but I know loads of people love this type of scent :) It projects well and lasts for ages ahhh it wouldn't go away lol

Bright Citrus For Women 0956

Option Review:2ml Tester
Definitely unisex, a lovely fresh fragrance for anyone. The grapefruit note is spot on here, with the black currant and orange sitting in the background, the greener notes come through later. Lots of flowers are listed, but I get more citrus throughout this (male reviewing) with a rose note coming through after 20 minutes. Maybe the flowers come through more on a women? Aas with any scent skin chemistry can alter it. Personally I don't like vanilla and I couldn't detect it in the drydown. This one is not sweet, just lovely fresh citrus with a hint of flowers, projects well, lasts a good amount of time too. It was one of 4 free samples with an order. I'd never have picked this otherwise, but it's well worth trying. A lovely surprise, 3 people already told me how fresh it smells, so it deserved a review :)

Wood Fire - 1874

Option Review:50ml Spray
I bought this dupe as I was hoping for a stronger more projecting version of 'by the fireplace'. I sprayed one hand each with btfp and wood fire . First initial smell from both was a bit chemically then the scents came through. Almost immediately I could smell the lovely throaty woody spice from the original but the dupe was just sweet. As it dried down the scent became a little more similar, but only a little. I asked my daughter to smell both hands, she could smell btfp but not the dupe. Its projection is even weaker than the original sadly, maybe it will perform better sprayed on clothes rather than skin. Wood fire is in itself a nice perfume but lacks the beautiful smokiness that appeals to me. I purchased a cheap body spray from Avon (fireside glow) which has captured btfp very well, no longevity though but more projection. I will keep on the hunt for that wonderful smokiness with a good projection and longevity.

I strongly recommend you let the fragrance macerate for a few weeks and then check.

Avalanche Fruity For Men 0022

Option Review:13ml Spray
Very pleasant fresh fragrance, lasts quite well, not over-powering

Isle of Vert For Men 0583

Option Review:13ml Spray
Quite a warm fragrance but not quite to my taste, fades fairly quickly.

Hawk 0239

Option Review:13ml Spray
Gorgeous warm and smooth leather. Absolute bang on 100% accurate to the original. Longevity is incredible (at least 10 hours), but the projection is not too aggressive, so it's a safe and unique scent.
