I sprayed it on my hand in the afternoon and I could still smell it the next morning, so good longevity. However on an EXACT side by side comparison L’Adventure completely blows Aventus out of the water now, in terms of a better more refined and stronger opening, and much stronger projection and much longer longevity. Some mention that the projection and longevity are fantastic, with about 5m and 5 hours but still subtle hints 10 hours.

OK, below here there seems to be a lot of people complaining this doesn't last and doesnt project, you're wrong, period, it does. Only without children, and in a group of 1 or 2 people and having checked in advance that they have sufficient quantities otherwise you could be feeling let down! All in all, a very good clone, albeit no better than CDNI for me personally, aside from the texture, which is MUCH better for me. In my view, L'Adventure is close enough to Aventus (except for the opening) where it will serve well as an Aventus substitute in most cases. Those are few of the comments I received from people around me - ladies' nose in particular seem to gravitate on this one.I would say L’Aventure has a bit more character and a slightly different note finish that on my skin smells warmer. I even asked my girlfriend if she could smell anything, and she said no, nothing and after she took her nose onto my neck she admit it still a bit there but softly. As soon as I sprayed one spray on my left arm in front of my friends we all hated it, let's start with the awful synthetic opening, the only thing I smelled was lemon, if the lemon was rotting in some ones basement for a week. One big advantage of L'Aventure is that it resembles Aventus relatively well at all stages of development (if you ever smelled Club de Nuit opening, you know what I mean). He has stopped wearing it all the time cause he wants to smell good but not so good to the point of being hit on.

The star of the show in both juices is the smooth fruity vanilla pineapple that stays throughout the life of the fragrance, accompanied by the alluring smoke in the base.Still not a 100% naturally smelling but way, waaay more natural than CDNIM and less sweat than Explorer or Aventus. Performance is not as good as CDNIM: that thing glues to my bones from morning to bedtime even after a shower, but it is above average when compared to the designer standard of longevity and sillage. After an hour of a headache inducing smell I washed a fragrance off my skin for the first time ever.

Truth be told, I sprayed it on my hand 45 minutes ago, and this fragrance has been intoxicating me since. lovely setting, nice ambience, food quality was very good, however just did not live up to expectations and there were a number of niggling concerns. It has a tinge of mould, probably from the musk, but it's tied in with something bitter (not the zesty fruit).

There are many good french restaurant in London that you should check if you want a real french experience ! In my eyes, this is even better than Creed Aventus nowadays and this smells actually how Creed Aventus used to smell back in the days.
