I had this good few years ago , when I was a newbie in the fragrance world .
Actually this is one of the perfumes which triggered me to get into the perfume game .
This definitely has an Aventus vibe , one day when I wore this and went to work someone asked me wether I was wearing Aventus , At that time I did not have a clue what Aventus is .
Whilst it does not perform for more than 3 hours still I think it’s worth the money . Best to carry a decant when going out for long hours .
I will be buying one again just to add to my collection , definitely worth it .

Note of CREED AVENTUS
shdv1 – :
Not worth the blind buy. Lasts 20 minutes tops. The box and cap is ridiculous. If anyone wants to buy mine I’ll sell it for 15 shipped. It’s full
IeGorka – :
I do have this and aventus and being honest they smells fairly similar not the same. Both have performance issues due to being freshies. But this does smell like a synthetic version of aventus.
coaphissala – :
It lasts about 20 minutes and that’s being nice… you could wear half a bottle of this stuff and no will smell you…
Would I buy Creed Aventus??? Definitely Not why??? Simple answer very over priced and also has performance issues.
nab329Negeltzex – :
This is a acceptable copies from the world of imitative aventus scents..
but very very poor…. by force 30min!

یک کپی خوب و ماهرانه از اونتوس که اگه ضعف پخش و ماندگاری صرف نظر بشه، واقعا نمره قابل قبولی رو نسبت به باقی این تبار رو به رشد میگیره

I own both Creed’s Aventus and Lomani’s AB Spirit Silver. They are NOT interchangeable. AB Silver is the Billy Bob to Aventus’ board member. I like AB Silver because of the opening of citrus, specifically oranges and tangerines to me. Hickory smoke takes over with much fanfare of musk and a tiny bit of floral. I was pleasantly surprised by the hickory scent which I am very familiar with due regular grilling. My two favorite woods are hickory and mesquite, so, I know the scent of hickory coming off my body after a long slow BBQ cooking. The very low price makes it worth having around. For men only. No femininity it AB Spirit Silver, but, it has moderate longevity and silage.
maksik – :
Pretty good replica of creed aventus but with less naturally smelling and a bit more metallic.
A-Z – :
Chris Adams Dreamz Man is a new kid on the block in terms of Aventus clones. Beautiful bottle and presentation. Aventus or CDNIM, it isn’t, but it’s a respectable representation for less than £10!
Неццу – :
Oh holy crap…. There’s no substitute for the mighty Aventus.. I’d rather save up for the real deal than to wear this.. Thumbs down
chel.wik – :
Sincerment je vous donne mon avis sur ce parfum, c un perfum avec un odeur metalique ( LOMANI 🙁 TRES DECU ) LOIN D etre doux est agreable croiyer moi ….. sur fragrantica i faut etre sincer pas mentir au gens…. surment certain vont l apprecier mais burkkkkk
speellutlap – :
great opening cause of the creed similarities then 1 min later the over ripe banana smell kicks in sickly sweet .
Ольга001 – :
This is great scent on clothes than skin. It lasts well on clothes and projects better. By the way I don’t know how Aventus smells which is good so I can enjoy the scent how it is!
Kellen – :
the presentation just gorgeous, the scent itself really beautiful, i had insurrection pure before, and ab spirit smells and perform better on my skin, it gives me a lot of compliment
a must try!!
anbodnar – :
it smells 95% like aventus, performance quite simillar too, for its price it must buy!!
kju629Diobtetty – :
If you want to smell like creed for 5 min , buy this one ..
But it will NEVER be like creed and the change of smells on the original .
Also , It kinna harsh on your nose after a while .. wouldn’t recommend using it on skin , better on clothes .
cheap ..
alexnnn92 – :
Smells nice. “Close” to Aventus but in my honest opinion…think seriously before buying.
Permanence on my skin is close to zero. Is spraying it and after a while it becomes skin scent. My only option has been showering on it.
Emmax – :
Agreed, if you want a cheaper clone of Aventus, this is pretty ok.
I’d say the opening is approximately 90% identical to a smokier batch of Aventus with a hint of sour apple and a slightly “metallic” note added. Downside is, after about an hour it turns into a quite synthetic smell and on me it’s gone within three to fours hours, so you’ll have to carry an atomizer if you’re out and about for longer periods.
But if you’re just looking for something similar and can’t afford the original, go ahead and have a go with this.
yavan8 – :
To save you all the hassle of looking for an aventus clone just get your hands on adnan b noir. I own both adnan and aventus and the similarities are unbelievable. Aventus is smokier and has that edge of quality but adnan for £20 it’s a no brainer!!
sanata – :
Another Lomani Creed clone but this one cancers the chromosome. AB Spirit is better and Intense Black is their best.
uylsvouoonj – :
To those looking for the perfect Aventus clone, you’re going to have to keep waiting. I have tried most of the clones and this one probably comes closest in terms of matching the scent, but there are still huge differences. AB Silver has the fresh pineapple and smokiness of Aventus with none of the quality present and about 1/10 of the performance. For the price ($30 or so) you are well on your way to being able to pick up a split of Aventus so I would advise saving your money, sucking it up and getting a decant of the real deal masterpiece.
Performance: 2.5/10 – This is a skin scent within 30 minutes of applying and sits on the skin for 2-3 hours max.
Overall Scent: 7/10 – This actually smells quite nice, about 70% close to Aventus to me, but the nonexistent performance makes it pointless outside of being a novelty.
dartis5 – :
I wanted this to smell like Aventus SO BAD!! and it does…for like the first 20 seconds.
When I say it “smells like Aventus” for the first few seconds, I mean it smells like a CLONE of it, like Aventus without the Creed quality.
After about a minute the slightly fruity / fresh Aventus type smell goes right into the background and out comes this synthetic / plastic / old / woody scent that lasts the entire duration of the fragrance. So disappointing :/
Also, when I say the entire duration of the fragrance, I mean the whole hour this lasts.. yes… around 1 hour from when I apply it the scent just vanishes (unless you put your nose up to your arm and act like your taking a hit of cocaine LOL).
My advice: Don’t buy this expecting it to be an alternative to Creeds Aventus because it’s just not. Instead, try to see this as an unrelated fragrance and you might like it, even if I think it smells too synthetic and has minimal performance.
Longevity: 2
Projection: 2
Smell: First 20 seconds or so – 7, After That – 2
Overall: A poorly 2
Remember this is just my take on it, I know some people really like this.
golden038 – :
Yet another fragrance that i tried due to the Aventus-clone hype. As with the others, I had to see for myself.
I immediately opened it as soon as it came in the mail. Metal box? –neat. =) The bottle is funky, too; the cap sheaths like 80% of the bottle.
The scent is VERY Aventus-like right at first, in fact it is almost dead-on to Afnan Supremacy Silver for the first few minutes. Ryanmmas26 explains everything well, the scent changes and gets a plastic-bottle sort of tinge to it but it’s still a good cologne. Longevity is horrible; i sprayed it on the crook of my arm and milled around the house doing chores, did 50 minutes of yoga and I already cannot smell it.
I find it okay, but i won’t wear it ever again. 6/10 overall for me.
If anyone wants to buy my 99.5% full bottle, message me.
Beessfusa – :
i bought it after reading everywhere his similarity to aventus; honestly i don’t like it, i feel like an excessive taste of licorice
Лыткаринец – :
A quick comparison of Aventus and it’s “clones” worth mentioning that I’ve gotten around to smelling.
Creed Aventus ($240-400 USD for a 4oz spray bottle):
What I like: QUALITY stuff, amazing scent, refined smokiness, and VERSATILE as heck.
The bad: Price-point :(((
Afnan Supremacy Silver (Approx. $80 USD on eBay):
After the first 5 minutes of intense alcohol, it is BY FAR the closest thing you will find scent wise to Aventus.
Lomani AB Silver ($20 USD):
A REALLY nice fruity and smoky summer frag. Several nuances in the dry down DO remind me of Aventus from time to time. I really like this one. I will be purchasing a second bottle soon.
Glenn Perri Unpredictable Adventure ($17 USD) :
A stale yet sweet vanilla with a thick and heavy ashy note. The ashy note does remind me of that of Aventus but without the quality. A distasteful mess. PASS!
Insurrection Pure ($25 USD): Smells like Aventus but lacks the quality, vibrancy and fruitiness that makes Creed Aventus good. Stale and lifeless to my nose (though a great crowd pleaser).
Projection:
Lomani < Glenn Perri < Insurrection Pure < Aventus < Afnan Supremacy
Longevity:
Glenn Perri < Lomani < Insurrection pure < Aventus < Afnan Supremacy
Smell/Quality of scent:
Glenn Perri < Insurrection Pure < Afnan Supremacy < Lomani < Aventus
Compliments (Not the name of the game but they sure don’t hurt!):
Glenn Perri < Lomani < Afnan Supremacy < Aventus < Insurrection Pure
My personal overall ranking:
Glenn Poopie < Insurrection Poop < Afnan Supremacy < Lomani AB < Aventus
Hope this helps 😀
Godrik – :
Lomani you self centered bastard! I reviewed your old skool cologne from the 80’s and it was ok. Since then I thought we went our seperate ways and moved on with our lives but oh no…you could not resist getting my attention again right? You challenged Aventus, one of my favorite scents of all time, and made me buy you again but now as in the form of AB Silver. AB Silver oh come on that sounds like a Vegas pawn shop! Anyways lets get to the smell.
I must have bought you fresh from the factory because right before I open the bottle I could smell the bottles new car interior scent. Plastic and chemical smells are in my nostrils before I even spray the cologne on my wrist haha! Finally the first spray goes off and yes there is a touch of Aventus but more in the musky side not so smokey side. And then a few minutes later the sweetness reveals itself to the world but the synthetics are playing a brutal role here too. Its a mixture of pineapple juice being served in a cup made of leather and plastic. It carries a punch and those Aventus fan boys like me will find some similarities when comparing Aventus and AB Silver. But here is my MAJOR drawback on AB Silver…a slight headache insues 5 minutes after the first few sprays. That my friends are the synthetics at work and it pains me to say that. The scent is not bad I actually enjoy it but just get ready for the unexpected. Longevity is slightly less than average on me but the sillage is moderate. Wear this on a warm day or night.
Crazy Lomani I salute you for trying to create a more economically friendly version of an expensive brand. If you can get pass the chemical orgy, live on a budget, and want to smell like you cheated to get rich…well heck yeah go for it!
6 out of 10
Would have been 7 out of 10 but my head ouch! Wheres my asprin???
NikolayRudakov – :
First off, this is not Aventus. It is however a good, albeit more synthetic smelling approximation of the bank busting Creed legend. It smells like tangy pineapple with assorted citrus and it has a lingering base scent of wood and leather. The longevity is a bit better than you might expect, and the sillage is pretty decent as well. I like the scent, but if you want Creed’s Aventus then you need to buy Creed’s Aventus. AB Spirit Silver is very nice though. It smells summery, and it has a bit of spice to it, a spice that probably comes from the more synthetic ingredients in the scent as it attempts to imitate the more fresh and natural smelling Aventus. Buy the fragrance if you are looking for an affordable pineapple and citrus that you can liberally apply without worrying that you’re going to have to remortgage your house to purchase your next bottle.
Sarawerfehrdj – :
Opening is absolutely 95% Aventus. With some nuances, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how close it really is.
The phasing is really where things begin to change. It really doesn’t last long (2 hours average).
To fix longevity: Spray on your clothes. It will retain the top and mid notes the whole time, and will probably triple the overall lasting power. Very linear and bland phasing though.
Keep in mind, the sprayer on AB Silver is much weaker than the sprayer on Aventus, which outputs twice as much liquid if not more than Silver. Also, it’s an EDT and not a parfum concentrate. So – don’t feel afraid to spray a bit extra than you normally would.
Granted, it’s not as striking and powerful, the scent is more linear (meaning it doesn’t change a lot), and of course, Aventus is more complex and natural.
Is it Aventus? No. Close? Yes. The distinction is, it doesn’t “feel” like Aventus, so don’t expect it to. It has this metallic note and something else that reminds me of a synthetic varnish or something. It’s not a bad scent, don’t get me wrong. It’s just a very cheap, lackluster clone.
I’ve put a good dent in my bottle and keep going back to Creed. Believe me, I wanted to love this, but after owning AB Silver since October last year, I can assure you it’s not worth your time. At first you’ll love it, but then you start realizing there are much longer lasting better scents out there.
In no offense, I’m trying to be completely honest and straight up with you.
Scent: 6/10
Longevity: 2/10
STR_VOVA – :
Initially I became interested in this perfume due comparisons with Aventus created on YouTube and Basenotes. Previously I experienced a decant of Aventus version and I had enjoyed it very much but the price became a prohibitive element. For the price of a single Aventus I could buy several other good perfumes. Then I tried AB Silver and I’m very pleased with what I found. The pineapple and smoky are in AB Silver in a mode very similar to that proposed in Aventus. I agree with Chris.Kragel about the strength´s lack of the AB Silver compare with Aventus, however, as we are talking about an EDT fragrance and the price of US20,00 I certainly have nothing to complain about. As the price of Silver´s ml is far smaller then others fragrances with same purpose I decide make an experiment. As in my country this formulation (pinneaple-smoky) is unusual I introduced AB Silver for several women who work in my job to evaluate it and praise exceeded my expectations. Although disagrees with my daughter I must say she said it was the best perfume that I had used up to that point. The weather in my region is hot and the projection of it lasts for about 1:30 or 2:00 hours and soon after becomes a skin scent. Definitely is a compliment getter! I believe some notes and considerations expressed here do not take into account that is a cheap EDT and if you like that sort of proposal you must try. My score: 7/10
aleks_666 – :
It is Wood Blast I dont know y Pineapple note is voted most?? Woody note definitely overcomes pineapple.
Good scent, at this price no one can beat this in mimicking Creed Aventus.
U may get compliment for this.
Leksych – :
Just received my bottle of AB Silver. My reaction is kind of “meh”. (not bad, but not great either). I certainly don’t think this is as close to Aventus as many claim. It has a lot of the same characteristics, but to my nose, each phase is easily distinguishable and different. First off, the pineapple/apple/currant in the opening is very different. While Aventus’s pineapple is sharp & very tart, this is more syrupy sweet & candied smelling. I guess it’s a personal preference, but I prefer Aventus’s fresher opening. As it dries down to the mid & base, I also find a difference. Both have that smokey/ashy smell in the mid, but it’s a different smoke. Aventus clearly uses birch, which imparts an ashy/smokey/leathery vibe with a bit of a pine or wintergreen type note. While AB Silver smells more like someone added a shot of the liquid smoke that people use for cooking. It is smokier, but smells more chemical & artificial, and I get zero leather or birch tar overtones from AB Silver. And on to the basenotes: While Aventus has the really musky ambergris/vanilla drydown, I don’t get this at all with AB Silver. Instead, it simply retains the ashy/smoky mid notes, with hints of the candied pineapple peaking through.
Anyway, overall, for the price, AB Silver is ok and is obviously trying to recreate Aventus, but don’t be fooled that this is exactly the same, because it’s not. It follows the same pattern & formula, but the lack of quality is noticeable. Silver kind of reminds me of those Dollar Store knockoffs in it’s ability to copy a scent. If Aventus is fresh pineapple & apples over birch, leather, musk, & ambergris, then AB Silver is a melted pack of pineapple LifeSavers with a shot of Liquid Smoke diluted with water. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying AB Silver is awful & it’s actually ok for what it is & what it costs. But Aventus it is not.
Scackagefap – :
So, I just received this today and did my usual trial runs on longevity and projection. I came across some interesting, yet somewhat expected results.
Here is what I found…
Upon first spray, AB Silver comes out of the gate with a strong fruity blast. It is citrusy, it is sweet, and it is bold. This all combines to form a magnificent scent that projects well for the first ten minutes or so in the top notes. I could easily smell it at arm’s length.
After this dries down, you find yourself with a very peppery, bitter scent that combines with a tamed version of the fruity scent noted earlier. This is the part in which most say resembles Aventus. I can definitely discern a likeness here, but only in the top notes that shine through. I get citrus and fruity, with a smoky layer atop a spice I cannot quite place without looking to the actual page notes. It is quite masculine and powerful, and very reminiscent of Aventus.
This sits well upon the skin, projecting beautifully…for about a 1.5-2 hours. After that, it goes into submission as a strong skin scent.
Now, at this point, the real Aventus would be chugging along with a good amount of steam left, reaching out to the world for all to enjoy.
I had sprayed Aventus on my opposite arm two days before, and could still smell it strong at the 8-10 hour mark. AB Spirit resigned itself at around the five to six hour mark.
At six hours, AB spirit was hardly recognizable. I had to press my nose hard against my skin just to detect traces of it. Aventus, at this point, was still going strong like no man’s business.
While there are similarities between the two, AB Spirit Silver is basically the poor man’s equivalent.
This is to say, if Aventus was a professional bodybuilder, AB Spirit Silver would be much alike a high school wrestler; built, strong and muscular, but shying in comparison to the mass and bulk of this inspiring scent.
If Aventus was a Dodge Viper, AB Spirit Silver would be like A Ford Mustang. Still a sport’s car, but nowhere near in caliber or quality to the original.
In essence, AB Spirit Silver has the body of Aventus, but lacks the balls. It resembles Aventus without containing its core and strength.
A recommendation: buy an atomizer, fill it with AB Spirit Silver, and reapply a single spray at the four hour mark. This way, the scent will go strong and keep you smelling like you own a $200 bottle of the good stuff. And, no one will be the wiser…
Otherwise, I would suggest forking out the big bucks for the real deal.
Needless to say, for $20-some, you can’t beat how close this thing gets. If I had to smell them side by side…yeah, I could probably discern the difference. But they are both pleasing, masculine, and reminiscent of that scent that we all love.
Longevity: 5/10 (4-6 hours)
Projection: 6/10 (Good for first two hours, then a skin scent)
Versatility: 6/10 (Casual, night wear)
Smell: 7/10 (Similar to Aventus, and good for the price)
kitchenaster – :
Aventus clone. Yes. Smells nice. Yes.
Horrible longevity and projection. Not even worth $20. There are better cheapies for that price and it’s not much of a clone if you can’t smell it.
Ticathuch – :
I love Aventus so much but because of the cost I was looking for an alternative to Aventus that would smell similar but be less costly so I looked to this. And wow, I got to tell you this fragrance was exactly what I was looking for.
Of course I like Aventus better, but for the price of this and Silver being very similar Im very satisfied with this purchase ! 🙂
Onto the smell: This smells very citrusy in the opening and you get a fresh pineapple mixed with a sour apple, and slightly soapy smell thats very pleasant to my nose. When this dries down the citrus stays and florals kick in giving this a sweeter smell and theres also a synthetic note in there giving it a plasticy type of smell. And then in the drydown it goes to a woody,but still citrusy base thats more of a calmed down version of the opening.
Most of you are also probably wanting to know the similarities and differences between this and Aventus so this is how they compare to my nose….Aventus is a more rich,full bodied fragrance thats smoother,woodier,better blended and more natural smelling fragrance while Ab Silver has 90% of the DNA of Aventus but to me its more of a citrusy,less serious,soapy,casual fragrance that also has less of that smoky vibe. Like I said to me it smells like 90% of Aventus which is damn good concidering the price.
Performance: This is only average as far as performance. It projects average for the first 1hr and a half and then stays pretty much a skin scent for the rest of the fragrance. This lasts me anywhere from 4-6 hours which is fairly decent.
All in all id rate this a 7.5 ! Amazing smell for the price and performance is decent but not the greatest. But again, for $20 im not going to complain.
(Side note: this to me is the closest Aventus clone out there. Even a closer clone than Fresco or Insurrection Pure)
34Alex – :
Bought this instead of a decant of Aventus, but I’m not blown away by it. Smells pretty dead on with the other reviews here. Initial spray is very synthetic smelling and almost straight up plastic. If it’s warm out it projects a little better, but generally is short lived even with putting on 7-8 sprays this morning, but I’ll try it out on fabric next time. This scent isn’t making me want to rush out to purchase Aventus, but it’s fairly pleasant after the first 5m up to about 2 hours and it’s gone after 3-4 hours of being a skin scent with only some trace elements (faint powdery scent) remaining by 5-6 hours. I will go on a mission to blow through this in order to free up space or see if anyone with Aventus is willing to swap a small decant for their own comparisons.
gelend – :
For the money, this is bang for your buck. Beautiful scent, on my skin I get 8 hours+ and I can still smell it on my clothes the next morning. Grab it for what it is, not for what it’s compared to.
Doyle – :
I don’t get all the reviews stating poor performance of this fragrance. I can use four sprays of this, one between each elbow, one to the neck, and one to the chest, and am still able to faintly smell the fragrance the following morning on my arms. I have noticed however, that if over applied, you will get anosmic to the scent. Don’t worry though, others around you will still smell it, as I found this out the hard way. Four sprays to the areas I mentioned should give you the performance and longevity you are looking for. Btw, I haven’t smelled Aventus before, so I can’t compare the two, but I will say this, Lomani Silver smells damn good, and for less than $25 shipped, it’s an absolute bargain.
shippi – :
I think this is very similar to the smell of Aventus (this one lacks in performance and smells more artificial). From the initial spray, you get the citruses: Sour green apple, tart black currant, and a fresh, barely ripe pineapple ( I think the Aventus I smelled had a stronger pineapple note). With the citrus in the background, top is quickly joined by the mid and base with the leather, musk, woodsy notes, oakmoss, and spices. I barely detect any amber or vanilla, but I assume they’re tempering those heavy aforementioned notes.
I also want to mention my wife likes both this and Aventus…she claims this smells like a very good aftershave. On a side note, I have to add that the performance from this fragrance is disappointing. I only get 4 hours max in longevity with a hour of projection, but it does perform better on cotton clothing. Layering Demeter’s Pineapple with Ab Silver yields a pretty nice result.
уля – :
Really good stuff! Please waste your money on Creed Aventus and leave this for me!
Dimitarr77 – :
The juice is quite nice, a neat reminiscent of legendary aventus by creed as already said (i think in kind of the same way as cool water reminds us of GIT) – actually it could be a ‘concentrated’ aventus even if that may sound overweening -thumbs up for that to Lomani for the effort.
I’ts really manly for my taste and quite elegant smell
a(nother) cult loved-at-first-smell scent for me, probably because reminiscenting well another good scent with a really friendly price while the original that suppose to reminiscenting is ridiculously expensive.
fkk660Bessinepome – :
Hard to write a review without comparing it to Aventus. Decided to buy it as a blind buy a few week ago given the price and immediately went to spray one on one of my hand and Aventus on the other.
For AB Silver, the pineapple note is alot stronger and brighter whereas Aventus opening is more darker (and smokey-incense like with the burnt birch note). It is that brightness that for the first 30min, my hand with the AB Silver on it projects a lot more than my other hand with Aventus. However, AB Silver did have that “metallic” smell that kind of put me off at times. It give me an image of a hot iron is pressing against a pineapple (I believe it is Lomani trying to re-create Aventus smokey burnt birch smell but not doing it that well).
Overall, in terms of quality of the smell, I believe Aventus is a lot better and better balance with the pineapple and “smokiness”. But given the price difference, like many others, I do believe AB silver can be use as replacement for occasions where you feel more causal. For the fun of it, I sometimes use it when I go out and do my groceries which bring to my next input on longevitity. Once I did a groceries run and spray on some AB Silver. I got home an 1hr+ later and decided to go for a run. 30-45mins later after a good sweaty workout, I can still smell AB Silver lingering on my skin which is pretty good as most of my other fragrance kind of dies the moment I start sweating.
Eliplebiree – :
I had never smelled Aventus when I ordered this. I liked it so I ordered another bottle as a gift for a friend and also sampled Aventus from Fragrancex batch(c42c13z01).
Aventus does smell ‘smoother’, ‘richer’, ‘creamier’ or ‘more natural’.
However, AB Silver and Aventus do smell much alike when you first apply them. At least thats what I got.
I really liked c42c13z01 without having tried any other batches of Aventus (or Creeds). AB silver goes from the same vibe as aventus to somewhat smelling weaker /not as full or complete.
My girlfriend said she liked Aventus because “it wasn’t too powerful” (I wore alot of it that day).
Aventus was sweeter in my opinion and was quite linear. AB silver started off with that sweetness, then turns somewhat woody/ashy.
I will definitely finish my bottle of AB Silver though.
depalm – :
It’s certainly similar to Aventus for a while, then a woody note becomes prominent and I find this element to be out of place and unpleasant, because it hinders dynamism. However, it’s not nearly as bad as in other scents, so it may be that most people will hardly notice it. For the original retail price, it is a great deal for those who want something that’s similar to Aventus, though I like Zara’s original Gold Man formulation, which is smoother than this Lomani scent, but also similar to Aventus. In general, I’m not a big fan of this idea/composition, so I’m less particular about it. Anyone who really likes Aventus’ drydown might be disappointed in these similar scents, but again for the price, do you really think you are going to get an Aventus drydown (and I don’t think it’s a great drydown in any case, just smoother and more dynamic)?
UPDATE: Second wearing, and things are really interesting. This time the wood doesn’t seem as prominent but instead a kind of slightly burnt coriander is quite obvious a few hours after application, along with some citrus and vanilla, though it’s not sweet. I’m surprised at how natural and unique this seems (among “masculines”), as well as enjoyable – lately coriander notes have been bothering me, but here it seems to be handled just right here. I can’t say I have a good recollection of Aventus’ far drydown but this one holds up nicely, and is not deficient in any way (as its own scent). Overall, while the opening is mediocre for me, the drydown makes it worth the approximate $20 dollar price tag, for sure! And for those interested, it’s kind of like the “masculine” counterpart to Cereus # 12. Note that some of the claims I’ve read in other reviews, such as this has terrible longevity, make no sense at all, unless the people writing them are “top notes people” – then it makes perfect sense. However, saying it’s a strong licorice scent is beyond my comprehension!
lusienoff – :
It is quite a smoky pineapple. It is very similar from top to heart with a certain batch of an Aventus decant I purchased from a perfume buddy. It is almost perfect similar to my 125ml of AngelSin sold at Ebay for $40.00 plus shipping. The difference between these two is that the AngelSin is citrusy stronger in pineapple and AB silver just now, bears a light Aventus dry down. Both earned me many compliments. Both similar in below average longevity. Both bears a classy feel. I can say that these two are like Aventus Eau de Cologne. Is it worth keeping? For the price and volume, oh yes. Unless Axe and Old Spice would come out of way cheaper versions bearing similar smell.
Computer – :
I will spare the Aventus comparisons. It smells like slightly chemical smokey pineapples and that is really it. Very strong scent. Picture several pineapple slices on a charcoal grill and there you have it.
Farantar – :
Smell similar like Aventus but longevity it’s an issue for me. After half an hour it becomes skin scent on me. Not worth my money.

I am very lucky to get this around 18$ before the hype and the increasing price. Does it smell like aventus??? YES, it smell 95% similar with aventus, definitely a success clone. But the problem is, it just doesn’t last on my skin, I have to respray after 2 hours with 8-10 sprays. You might think I am getting old factory fatigue problem, but no one can smell it, they only realize after I put my wrist near to their nose. I have a sample of aventus, the longevity and projection is great on my skin. I think after finish spirit silver , I will ago and buy a big bottle of aventus. Disappoint with spirit silver that doesn’t last. But still, the smell and price is a success.
Presentation: 6/10 tacky bottle, tacky tin box too
Longevity : 2/10 fail in my skin
Projection : 4/10 fail too
Scent : 8/10
Versatility : 10/10
