Sexy, woody frag - just don't come here for A.ventus
I have a few tiptupu fragrances and have overall been quite impressed with their quality and presentation so far. Although their dupes aren't always spot-on to the inspiration frag, they still typically smell really good! Their A.ventus clone falls in this category, to me - while I don't think it resembles A.ventus much at all, I really love this fragrance.It is beautifully presented, especially for the price - a sleek bottle, smooth pressurized atomizer, and it even includes two additional sample vials of their other fragrance offerings in the box.It diverges from A.ventus immediately in the opening; it lacks the fresh, sparkling, bright citrus and juicy pineapple pop that defines the original. Instead, the most prominent notes on my skin are patchouli and birch, giving it a deeper, woodier, more masculine impression right from the start. It also seems to be missing the powdery, musky drydown I love in A.ventus.It's a slightly fresh but rich, earthy, woody fragrance that gives sexy fall lumberjack rather than a fruity‑fresh Aventus vibe (I would compare Fruity Chypre more to TF Oud Wood or K.ilian Straight to Heaven). It's definitely more masculine than Aventus (at least imo).Longevity is quite good; I can smell it on my skin for about 5–6 hours, with moderate projection and sillage. Overall, this is a very enjoyable woody fragrance, but it doesn’t capture the Aventus spirit. For the current price though ($15.99 on Amazon), the price really can't be beat!Ver másVer menos
