  • Which is the best Aventus copy? Can Perfumer Aaron Terence Hughes identify REAL Aventus amongst the many clones? In this video Aaron blind smells Aventus and some of the best Aventus dupes and tries to pick out the real one. I even thrown in a cheeky curveball! How good is his nose?
    Fragrances featured are Creed Aventus, Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man, Parfums Vintage Emperor Extrait, Mont Blanc Explorer, Perfume Parlour, Alexandria Brasilia 13ZZ01 and Dua Fragrances Poseiden's Elixir 13ZZ.

    I learn a lot watching Aaron. I own several clones and I’ve noticed that I can’t pick up much scent on first spray but as the day goes on they start to radiate. But the scent they are radiating is more often than not very simple with one or two notes coming through. This gives me a mall oil vibe. I can buy a bath and body works pineapple oil for around 10 bucks. I’ve found the sweet spot is with Mancera fragrances. They give you that heavy base oil vibe but they smell more sophisticated and well blended than most clone houses. My two cents.

    F me!!! What a nose! Brilliant job from Aaron. Great video as usual, Chris. This was quite a challenge and as you said, I don’t think someone who doesn’t have a trained nose with raw materials would be able to do this.

    Ashton at Gents Scents did a video a while ago where he had his wife give him a blind test of all his Aventus clones (of which he has many). If I recall he was able to, not only tell which was Aventus, but he also correctly guessed what all the others were as well. I was impressed.

      That's cause he literally buys every fragrance and probably just sits in his office sniffing frags all day haha
