I like to wear this instead of Aventus for places i dont need projection. I would say, for someone who loves aventus and concerned about offenend others at work place, pick this instead. You would not get any pineapple with this one.
– May be a BUY (not a certain).

Own both this and Aventus, Amber is basically a 2D version of Aventus. It doesn’t give you that scent cloud Aventus gives and doesn’t have that pineapple note, more of a 2d lime. Its a good fragrance at its 80 euro price but it doesn’t replace Aventus. Gorse however can completely replace VIW.

Straight up Aventus clone and a good one at that. More balanced in the opening than CDNIM, with none of the Lemon Pledge harshness, but it loses out to CDNIM for me due to the lack of smoke. A little linear but a very smooth and pleasant fragrance. Can’t speak to performance as only tried it on a card.

beautiful smell, have never tried aventus but I love this, amber, powdery , spicy drydown, love it
GaaNanof – :
Dry down is very ‘Aventus’ as others have commented.
Not sure the opening shares the same pattern, but given that only lasts 20 mins or so, if you are looking for an ‘Aventus’ substitute that most would not recognize as such, this is definitely one option.

MMmm…I can see why the fellas have pounced on this lovely. I love the intense spicey greeness. I like the salty seashore aspect of the ambergris. This is very unisex for me. Its not sweet or powdery but its fresh like a new crisp white cotton shirt. If your not into florals or other perfumey fragrance then I would recommend this for the gals. Its not harsh enough to make it very masculine.
I cant say it develops much although the spiciness does recede quite a bit in the first hour. It just remains bright, green, a touch aromatic with the smell of the sea in the distance. I get moderate sillage and longevity.

Won’t compare it to Aventus since I never smelled that. What this DOES smell like is Armaf’s Club De Nuit Intense Man but without that strong alcohol opening. But on dry down, they smell extremely similar.
Citrusy, smokey but not quite as strong as CDNIM but smoother. I’m digging it.

I think this may be my perfect amber fragrance. I love amber like in the L’Artisan amber balls, but as a perfume I usually find it to be too sweet, too heavy, too linear… and I’ve tried so many over the years. This is noticeably amber-y but it’s transparent and has a freshness from the green notes. Absolutely suitable for a man or a woman. I made a snap decision when I purchased this and thought I might wind up giving it to my husband, but he’ll have to fight me for it now. This line reminds me of Heeley – very modern, sophisticated, well-crafted.

Was planning on getting Creed Aventus in the near future… Till I smelled this!
Very similar notes and in my opinion with a spray of each on each wrist, Laboratory Perfumes Amber has better longevity and sillage.
To my nose the ambergris and spices sit at the forefront throughout its life making it a little linear but oh my, I couldn’t stop sniffing!
Big thumbs up from me!
Oh, shortly after spraying this on the streets of York where I was shopping a man asked me ‘is that Aventus your wearing’ This is the first time a fellow like minded ‘nose’ has ever stopped me and questioned me on a fragrance. Kudos to you buddy for such a keen sense of smell!
