      You'll need that 200ml for that awful longevity, lol. "Equal performance" is a hilarious take. CDNIM is the one to get for an Aventus clone, and Mont Blanc for an office friendly twist. There's no black current or pineapple in mont blanc.

    When it comes to apex, it's Rojas version of savauge elixir, a green version without the licorice. Lataffa asad smells similar to elixir but a bit different. Vertex smells like a green version of asad. I own bolth clones and bolth originals and their different enough that it's not redundant to own bolth the clone and original. In fact just like asad is a bit more versatile then elixir the same is true of vertex, I've found it's versatile enough I can wear it on days where apex might be a little too much
    EDIT: I was incorrect apex is not Rojas take on elixir, but honestly to me they do smell kind of similar, just apex without the licorice and more green. But vertex does also smell like a green version of asad

    • @petermolina1317
      @petermolina1317 7 місяців тому

      So, for you, it is safe to say the clone is better overall ? Which brings more versatility for the sacrifice of probably better quality.

    • @user-sp8uo4or2g
      @user-sp8uo4or2g 7 місяців тому

      @petermolina1317 I like them bolth equally. Apex is higher quality and lasts longer but vertex is a bit brighter and I can pull it off easier in warmer weather so to me they bolth have their place. In terms of versatility though yes vertex is more versatile where apex is more of a situational wear

    Fo for Aventus as a must have for week ends and special places.
    And have explorer for everyday.
    That way you will have the Aventus for longer and have the explorer at the same time.
    Have them both.
    And after that get Silver mountain water EDP
    After that Buy Neroli Portofino edp or Neroli Portofino Aqua edp for super hot summer days.
    If you have all of those you are set .

      Rasasi La Yuqawam Homme is kind of in that style. Closer to TF Tuscan Leather, but definitely similar. Very high quality for a clone, one of those where you can reasonably argue that it's better than the original. But Rasasi likes to ask big for a clone brand, so expect about 50% saving at best. Montale's Aoud Leather is also in the same ballpark and much cheaper, but I just don't like that one personally. Not just as an alternative, but as a scent in general.
