This blows all my other colognes out of the water. On my skin, it's a beast. Will never get tired of this scent. For me, the fragrance slightly changes throughout the day. Will always be in collection as long as they keep selling it.
@@gerardgeorge I have CDNIM EDP and afnan supremacy silver never received a complement from a woman wearing them but CDNIM got me 2 complement from dudes one in Marshall's the other at a gas station truth is the aventus DNA is just a over hyped scent and one that women just don't care for
For years I've had The Departed on my list of classics that I need to watch. I found this video by chance, so I think it's a sign that I need to watch it already.
A buddy of mine was wearing this last fall and it projected off of him like a beast. As a scent, I actually prefer it over the big A. Didn't even recognize it as a clone until he told me. Far more musky and mossy on him.
I know this video is a year old but I’m so glad you mentioned it’s similarity’s to Black Walnut Legend. I prefer that scent profile over all the other Aventus like scents, only it’s performance is so bad that I don’t wear it as much as I’d like to. I’ll be pulling my Afnan out of the mailbox tonight and I’m much more stoked than I already was. If it’s bringing Mont Blanc Explorer/ BWL vibes with heavy performance, then it’ll be everything I’ve been hoping to find. Love your Chanel, thank you for the great content.
Just got mine today. -Opens very very citrusy sweet looks like I got a super bergamot strong batch with the black currant sweetness behind it. No apple at all and a bit headache inducing. -Then after 30 minutes gets mossy with a tint of lavender essential oil. Then it s pretty linear until it becomes a skin scent and I only feel some musk. -The base smells like Montblanc explorer after 5 hours on a test strip lol. -For the performance on me it s average, not beast mode. 1/2 hours of projection on skin. Maybe after maceration things change a bit
This gets the most compliments by far out of any the colognes I wear. I also have Club De Nuit Intense Pure Parfum and it's great but not on the same level as this. My 2nd fave Afnan is 9AM. I bought 9PM and did not like it so I gave it away
No worries about performance with my 9/23 Batch, it's very potent and only improving. I've never seen so many comments claiming a lack of performance. My gut said they were mistaken and my nose says I was right in that assumption. This is great stuff
My friend I just got a large bottle of this on Mercari for $21. I can't wait to get this in my hands. I have wanted to try this fragrance for a bit now but just haven't pulled the trigger. I just couldn't pass it up for $21. CRAZY!!! Thank you for making this video. Really really good. Be well my friend and have a beautiful day today.
I had a decant and it gives me Hacivat vibes more than Aventus, but the DNA is definitely there. Thanks for the video, I just ordered that 5oz bottle from Kingdom Frags. Couldn't pass that up for only 49.98!
@@gerardgeorge Are you sure abt that? Coz I'm about to pull the trigger but was skeptical on performance and smell on BIGASS bottle, coz there was a difference in TUMI Continuum 200ml bottle and the sample. So, I am 5050 now.
This is nothing like Hacivat, I don't understand how people get Hacivat from this. The hacivat is way more mossy and foresty whereas this is so fruity, like overly fruity compared to both Hacivat and Aventus.
I haven't tried this one, but love Supremacy in Oud and have Supremacy Incense, the Interlude Man clone, which is awesome as well as a beast. Might have to pick this one up!
This stuff lasts on me. I get 12 hours plus on my skin and much longer on my clothes. It just gets better hour by hour. That’s rare air. Big time compliment getter too. I have CDIM. This is less synthetic and smooths out nicely.
My Supremacy NOI has just arrived this morning. I've owned CDNIM EDT, and also got a chance to test NOI at a frag shop. It's more fruity, and slightly less smoky than CDNIM (probably due to the no birch note in NOI)... but its near identical to it. Think of it like the EDT, but with amped up projection, sillage and performance. 2 sprays of NOI and it is nuclear. The blend is smooth from start to finish, and the blackcurrant gives it a rich, tart depth in the opening. The mixture of blackcurrant and apple gives it that pineapple vibe. Was worried about how well performance would be, after reading comments about reformulations, but so far, NOI is a beast. I find Afnan fragrances tend to only get better with maceration (my 9pm became a lot better after a couple months), so I can imagine NOI will do so too. Absolutely delighted with my purchase and I will probably get Supremacy Silver for layering and to save this glorious juice!
@@latinuomo I hope you like it man! I can’t recommend this enough! The opening is so juicy and blended really well…I love how to my nose it’s seems like it’s only 70-80% AVENTUS for the 1st hour to and then around hour 2/3 the dry down gets closer to Aventus but even after that I’ll get whiffs that are exactly like Aventus and other times it smells pleasantly different 🤷🏾♂️…Definitely a compliment magnet in the cool crisp air…in the heat it’s becomes even more deliciously fruity! It’s a banger!
just got mine. Didn't know it was 250 ml. got it for $30 and I'm watching your video while I sprayed it on my hand. I'm blown away. I'll have to compare my limited edition with it. Great video as always my brother
I absolutely love not only intense! Actually on my second bottle! Bit you're right it's not a 1 to 1 but it's pretty damn close! Great video Gerard! Have a great day my friend!
I would like to check that one. I got yesterday a few Zara fragrances, and the Creed Aventus clone/inspired by, I got was Vibrant Leather Eau de Parfum Zara It has the smoked and pineapple vibe. It projects decent for the first hour, then is a skin scent. It doesn’t smell cheap or overly synthetic. I cannot smell CDNIM anymore. I got a 100ml Creed Aventus but I wanted to have a decent alternative. Great video.
This one surprised me as well. Really good. I like it better than the regular supremacy. And I have not compared it to the CDNIMLEP yet but I am not sure which one I like better. I have to compare as well. I think it comes down to occasion and what I am in the mood for. Great video!
I have the cologne and two spray projects like crazy. I get compliments all the time at the hospital where i work at. The guys are asking what im wearing and im like uhh its creed aventus 😂😂. This, hawas and greenly is my favorite summer rotation.
Its definitely one of My best Aventus clones with Mont Blanc Explorer on top followed up by Supremacy Not only intense then Al Haramain adventure and Club de nuit intense man edt (still wanting to try the special edition version) great review ✌🏽
I just got this but it smells nothing like aventus like people say no pineapple or smokiness but its almost identical to parfums de marley greenley, was there a reformulation or does it need to macerate?
Hello bro! I choose this over CLUB DE NUIT EDP 200ml. I didnt choose CDNIM EDPeven i have the EDT version. I THINK this is redundant. This Armaf has a new DNA i think better than Club de Nuit. What do you think?😅
Imo between this one and cdnim limited parfum. Cdnim limited parfum edges it out for the win. Afnan s.n.o.i. seems more smokier though, but their just barely different. Im just a fan of that scent so having both is a plus for me.
Great review Gerard. Looking forward to the update on the weekly rotation. Can’t believe I have a ton of Fragrances but no Aventus clone 😮. Tried CDNIM EDT some time ago. My wife said it smelt like cleaning fluid which killed that one dead. Has anyone smelt the CDNIM Parfum? Or should I go down the L’Aventure or the intense L’Aventure. It’s such a rabbit hole buying an Aventus clone. Could do with some advice from someone who has tried most of the hyped clones out there.
I agree Steve. Someone said the LAventure intense is comparable to this. I did a vid on the CDNIM Limited Edition Parfum which I like as well. This is also great!
@@gerardgeorge Thanks Gerrard. I will check out that CDIM Parfum video. I guess there is no one size fits all clone. This one looks a good fragrance in any event. Have a great day Gerard. Look forward as always to the weekly rotation video. 👍
@@gerardgeorge Please don't grab. The one from 2019 used to oast 7 days on clothes(very woody and masculine with cedarwood and Oakmoss). But these days, it's a cheap quality moss Idk wtf they've been using nowadays and doesn't even last a day in clothes, let's not even talk about the performance on skin. TERRIBLE!
Hey Gerard ! Could you please compare this to Armaf Limited edition and the Loewe Esencia edp (I also own that one) .. As to which one is the best replacement for Aventus 🙏🏽
I bought a decant for afnan supremacy not only intense and was confused because it smelled exactly like cdnim. Like an exact one to one from the citrus opening til the dry down. Did i just get scammed or are the two fragrances that similar?
Love this one. Lasts forever on my skin, and I can't spray on clothes or it outlasts the washing machine. I get a lot of Black currant up top, and an oak moss bomb on the dry down. Reminds me of a cross of Hacivat and Aventus.
The only thing that I like of Supremacy NOI is performance, but I do not consider it a direct Aventus clone, it is fruity? yes but there is no pineapple, is this smoky? not really, there is no birch in the composition and at least from my personal perspective pineapple and birch are the main players in the Aventus magic and then musk, vanilla, oakmoss, apple and as usual ambergris... to me SNOI is mostly black currant and apple in the opening and since i tried the first Aventus batches and I only like the smokier ones I guess that's why this fruity take on Aventus is not for me, but if someone like that fruitiness they won't be disappointed because performance is there.... or is maybe that i'm getting tired of new Aventus clones?
i have 2 questions and i would appreciate an answer.. i have already azzaro the most wanted parfum intense. i want one more Cheap fragnace with a different smell but good projectivity and last longevity.. is this fragnace a good choice? can it be worm also on summer?
@@gerardgeorge ty for the answer! i watched some of ur videos and u definitely deserve a subscribe + ur are active and will to answer to our questions. i really enjoy my azzaro fragnace, great woody and toffe smell. I'm excited to see the afnan one, that fruity smell gonna be top. but between supremacy not only intense and 9pm, which one u suggest? (since i have the azzaro one aswell).
I have 9 PM and Supremacy NOI. I must say, Afnan is the best when it comes to clone fragrances. Beats all middle eastern perfume companies in my books.
Is it wise to buy both afnan supremacy not only intense and armaf club de nuit intense man edt? I worry they smell similar. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
@@gerardgeorge thanks gerard , i have decant of afnan noi and waiting for another decant of cdnim edt. Appreciate your answer, i guess i need to choose between one of them. I need for great projection
I think the better projectors are Eros or Hawas. Hawas probably the best of all in terms of projection. I think Eros is the overall better scent. I’m not a big fan of Y EDP.
Have u picked one? I'm trying to decide between ysl edp, hawas and afnan. Out of the 3 I prefer the scent profile of Ysl edp but I think hawas and this afnan are levels above in terms of performance.
@@gerardgeorge thank you I have the 3 ounce bottle and loved it so much. I bought the 5 ounce for a back up but I’ve been having issues with getting counterfeit fragrances lately appreciate the info
So the box is not that nice because it is 5oz? Because I saw the box of the 3.4 and it was very very nice… I know.. box does not matter.. 😅 I am looking into this one now after I sold my CDNIM edt.. just lemon and smoke was not enough for me
so... I got this one... I LOVED IT it reminds me of montblanc explorer a lot... but stronger and better.. and I loved the smell of explorer I believe I did the right choice.. you helped when you mentioned the parfum is still lemon and how you described this one thanks
Supremacy Not Only Intense is a beastmode fragrance. Definitely one of my top 10 fragrances in my collection. Supremacy Not Only Intense performs very well. It last 9+ hours on my skin and days on clothes. The Sillage is incredible. This fragrance will definitely get you noticed. That fruity-citrusy black currant is amazing. Another amazing and powerful fragrance is CDNIM Pure Parfum. Another beast mode fragrance. Excellent performer!! 👌👍🔥💨🍋🪵♨️
This is the cheapest in my collection but gets me the most compliments. Uncountable times i had to write the name down for people who want to know what im wearing
@@gerardgeorge Funny you say that. Chanel is the one I can’t live without. Think about it. How many absolute masterpieces they have created. And even their skin care products. That’s just me though. There is no second place but if Chanel wasn’t around it would be Creed.
@@gerardgeorge yeah man. I love my millisium imperial but the new batch isn’t like the old one. So I use milestone instead. It’s a powerhouse. I would love to see a video on that. I’m curious what the fragrance community would choose as their favorite house. I mean I have like 42 that I love but I can’t live without any of my Chanel’s. Not even one. Over the last three weeks I’ve been loving homme sport that I’m killing the bottle in record time.
I think Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense is the best smelling of the Aventus clones, but you're right, it's not a 1 to 1. There's an unlisted incense note and virtually none of the signature pineapple. I almost have to think of it as a different scent because it's removed one of the hero notes of Aventus.
First off thanks so much for the care package! Appreciate it so much Danny. Secondly I agree. It’s Smokey but not in a woody way. The more I smell it the less Aventus I get but it’s not a bad thing. It feels like a different scent.
I agree Danny! It’s definitely a pleasant and great Aventus twist clone…I really think the magic is in the dry down! Off my skin I’ll get whiffs of “whoa EXACTLY like Aventus” and other times it comes off more fruity and more dense
@@Charlestoofire this was my first one.. and I ordered turathi blue.. will get this week Now I feel getting the not only intense… but yeah… it seems to have better quality overall This rare carbon.. I just sprayed on my hand.. it smells amazing
@@gerardgeorge my son always gives me shit when I hit him with fragrance names and I'll clash some together and in his Best Southie lingo""hell say your a zippahead" pops he doesn't get me"🤔😏✊
@Mike Bernard Supremacy Silver smells good but does not perform well at all. It starts off strong maybe 30 minutes and then quickly becomes a lite skin scent. They need to make a stronger version of Supremacy Silver.. maybe Supremacy Silver Intense!!
@@gerardgeorge L'adventure is cheap, 25 to 30, but there's a new L'adventure Intense that puts the original to shame. Just like the Afnan, it's not a 1 to 1, but the intense is such an improvement on the original L'adventure that there's no reason to own both.
This blows all my other colognes out of the water. On my skin, it's a beast. Will never get tired of this scent. For me, the fragrance slightly changes throughout the day. Will always be in collection as long as they keep selling it.

Thanks Antwain!
Get it Antwain! You heard right! It’s a performance AND compliment BEAST for sure…Projects strong in the heat and windy days
First impression was great. After 10 Month for me the Durabilty is annoying. I prefer, that a scent come and go but this is really a beast.
Understandable.
I really really love this fragrance !! Super review
Thanks Saint!
I've heard that it's a combination of Aventus and Hacivat by Nishane.... Looking at the notes I definitely want to get my nose on the Nishane 😊
I might blind buy the Hacivat.
I would like to check that one.
I got yesterday a few Zara fragrances, and the Creed Aventus clone/inspired by, I got was Vibrant Leather Eau de Parfum Zara
It has the smoked and pineapple vibe. It projects decent for the first hour, then is a skin scent. It doesn’t smell cheap or overly synthetic.
I cannot smell CDNIM anymore.
I got a 100ml Creed Aventus but I wanted to have a decent alternative.
Great video.
I have a few alternatives for that same reason BH. Vibrant leather is nice.
This one surprised me as well. Really good. I like it better than the regular supremacy. And I have not compared it to the CDNIMLEP yet but I am not sure which one I like better. I have to compare as well. I think it comes down to occasion and what I am in the mood for. Great video!
I think you are right occasion and overall what do you feel like teaching for at that moment. Been there before! Thanks for watching!
The regular supremacy is a aventus clone with 1.1 notes. Supremacy not only intense is kind of a hybrid
Great vid. The creed aventus clone i am fond of is Al haramain L aventure. But i would like to check this one out.
I still need to try this one Jorge.
I have the cologne and two spray projects like crazy. I get compliments all the time at the hospital where i work at. The guys are asking what im wearing and im like uhh its creed aventus 😂😂. This, hawas and greenly is my favorite summer rotation.
Hawas and Greenly are fantastic as well. You have your bases covered!
Hawas or this afnan? I'm actually trying to decide between these 2 and ysl edp but i know ysl edp doesn't project as the 2 mentioned above
Same, i work at hospital and this gets me most compliments than any perfume in my collection. When im ask, i do say aventus tho😂😂.
Question, does this 5.07 ounce come with the fancy box? Just got mine in and it didnt have thw fancy box as the 3.4 oz bottle?
Yea i have had it for awhile. Great stuff😎
I’m liking it Rojo.
Very nice review , is it still a good buy in 2024 ??
Yes still good for sure.
Its definitely one of My best Aventus clones with Mont Blanc Explorer on top followed up by Supremacy Not only intense then Al Haramain adventure and Club de nuit intense man edt (still wanting to try the special edition version) great review ✌🏽
Thanks Wayne you really can’t go wrong with it..
I just got this but it smells nothing like aventus like people say no pineapple or smokiness but its almost identical to parfums de marley greenley, was there a reformulation or does it need to macerate?
I definitely get Aventus vibes but some say it’s close to Hacivat.
Got boh Cdnim EDP and afnan NOI, and they're similar but this one feels more an inspiration, where as Cdnim is a straight up clone.
I think you are correct.
Is the maceration done for this? Trust me ive tried afnans almost all bangers the smell becomes more richer the notes aline and hell of a beast mode
I completely agree. It happens for me with Lattafa Asad
gosh Gerard... now you make me want to buy this... very famous in Malaysia.. Afnan/Armaf (clone perfume)
It’s damn good Khai.

Out of these three which on is the best to you?
Afnan Supremacy or Mont Blanc explorer or CDNI? Thank you
Man great question I like all 3 for different reasons. I think CDNIM is the closest to Aventus. All are great.

They are very similar. There is definitely more oakmoss green in the Afnan but dry downs are close. You didn’t get scammed these are easily confused.

but between supremacy not only intense and 9pm, which one u suggest? (since i have the azzaro one aswell).
Buy this without a doubt
L’Aventure is really close from what I hear. Have you tried it?
I haven’t yet want to though.
@@gerardgeorge same here. I think I might try it next!
Do a video on Lattafa Dur Al Maknoon, a smokier Creed aventus
I’ll have to check it out!
I have 9 PM and Supremacy NOI. I must say, Afnan is the best when it comes to clone fragrances. Beats all middle eastern perfume companies in my books.
Everything I've tried from them I've enjoyed.
hey which supremacy noi du you have extrait de parfum or eau de parfum? and can you tell me about the longevity and projection? ❤️❤️
get your hand on Afnan Supremacy Silver. And tell me which of the three is actually the best Aventus clone ;)
I’ll try it Josh eventually!
Is it wise to buy both afnan supremacy not only intense and armaf club de nuit intense man edt? I worry they smell similar. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
You only need one or the other. They do smell similar. The supremacy has more of an oak moss green feel to it that’s it. Both perform well.
@@gerardgeorge thanks gerard , i have decant of afnan noi and waiting for another decant of cdnim edt. Appreciate your answer, i guess i need to choose between one of them. I need for great projection
CDNIM edt has no fruitiness .. it’s just lemon and smoke
Supremacy sounds a lot better
hi id like to know is that extrait de parfum or eau de parfum?
extrait de parfum
I have the 7/22 batch, i dont know if I went nose blind to it or it is not performing 😢
Not sure what batch I have I will have to look.
Which one to pick from ysl y edp vs eros edp vs hawas?? Which one’s more projecting and lasting?
I think the better projectors are Eros or Hawas. Hawas probably the best of all in terms of projection. I think Eros is the overall better scent. I’m not a big fan of Y EDP.
Have u picked one? I'm trying to decide between ysl edp, hawas and afnan. Out of the 3 I prefer the scent profile of Ysl edp but I think hawas and this afnan are levels above in terms of performance.
Does the 5 ounce just come in a regular bottle as oppose to the fancy box with the sleeve with a 3 ounce bottle?
I believe so. This is the big bottle and it just came in a regular box.
@@gerardgeorge thank you I have the 3 ounce bottle and loved it so much. I bought the 5 ounce for a back up but I’ve been having issues with getting counterfeit fragrances lately appreciate the info
@@thepinehurstkiller you won’t have that issue with Kingdom Fragrances they only have legit stuff
Which batch do you have ?
Sounds more like Nishane Hacivat
I didn't know until after the vid but I guess people compare it to that.
Nice review. Please is this 2022 release?
2021 release but I believe my bottle is a 2022.
@@gerardgeorge ok. I appreciate
Bro help please there is a 5oz size and a 3.4oz size and idk which is stronger. I also got the supremacy in oud in 5oz
I've only owned the larger bottle. They should both be the same you should be good either way.
@@gerardgeorgeI just got my bottle. The production date is 6/23 and I'm not sure it's beast mode. What's the Production day on yours?
Who is best for 21 old boy club de nuit or supremacy not only intens??
I think the Club de nuit would be the better pick for a younger guy.
bro hi! what is your batch code? cuz i heard that this stuff was reformulated
I have to track down the box I don't have a batch code on the actual bottle.
Open only smells like Aventus. Dry down IS Hacivat. ALL THE WAY
Thanks brotha
So the box is not that nice because it is 5oz?
Because I saw the box of the 3.4 and it was very very nice…
I know.. box does not matter.. 😅
I am looking into this one now after I sold my CDNIM edt.. just lemon and smoke was not enough for me
That makes sense Ismael. The limited edition parfum is a far better scent than the edt.
@@gerardgeorge yeah.. I heard that.. but still lemon right?
Not only intense sounds more interesting
so... I got this one... I LOVED IT
it reminds me of montblanc explorer a lot... but stronger and better.. and I loved the smell of explorer
I believe I did the right choice.. you helped when you mentioned the parfum is still lemon and how you described this one
thanks
@@ismael85 glad I could help Ismael!
Supremacy Not Only Intense is a beastmode fragrance. Definitely one of my top 10 fragrances in my collection. Supremacy Not Only Intense performs very well. It last 9+ hours on my skin and days on clothes. The Sillage is incredible. This fragrance will definitely get you noticed. That fruity-citrusy black currant is amazing. Another amazing and powerful fragrance is CDNIM Pure Parfum. Another beast mode fragrance. Excellent performer!! 👌👍🔥💨🍋🪵♨️
I agree Jay!!
Batch ?? 11/22?
@@46bektas
05/2022 batch
This is the cheapest in my collection but gets me the most compliments. Uncountable times i had to write the name down for people who want to know what im wearing
I have 6/23 and don't feel like its beast mode
What up tough guy? Let me ask you a question. If you had to pick only one fragrance house to rock only their colognes,which house would it be?🧐
Man impossible question to answer! Let me think about it. Maybe Chanel? 🤷🏻♂️. I need more time to decide!! Haha
@@gerardgeorge Funny you say that. Chanel is the one I can’t live without. Think about it. How many absolute masterpieces they have created. And even their skin care products. That’s just me though. There is no second place but if Chanel wasn’t around it would be Creed.
@@EliteScentsOnly I’m going back and forth between the two. Creed lacks a sweet gourmand leaning scent that I know of.
@@gerardgeorge yeah man. I love my millisium imperial but the new batch isn’t like the old one. So I use milestone instead. It’s a powerhouse. I would love to see a video on that. I’m curious what the fragrance community would choose as their favorite house. I mean I have like 42 that I love but I can’t live without any of my Chanel’s. Not even one. Over the last three weeks I’ve been loving homme sport that I’m killing the bottle in record time.
can someone please give me the link from the video he made after this and talks about supremacy not only intense again?
I’ve talked about it a few times since
I think Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense is the best smelling of the Aventus clones, but you're right, it's not a 1 to 1. There's an unlisted incense note and virtually none of the signature pineapple. I almost have to think of it as a different scent because it's removed one of the hero notes of Aventus.
First off thanks so much for the care package! Appreciate it so much Danny. Secondly I agree. It’s Smokey but not in a woody way. The more I smell it the less Aventus I get but it’s not a bad thing. It feels like a different scent.
@@gerardgeorge let me know what you think of those three! I definitely have my own opinions, but I'm curious what you think.
I agree Danny! It’s definitely a pleasant and great Aventus twist clone…I really think the magic is in the dry down! Off my skin I’ll get whiffs of “whoa EXACTLY like Aventus” and other times it comes off more fruity and more dense
@gerardgeorge are you loving this scent. Do you find it addictive. Does your woman think it's sexy?
is it suitable for teenagers? And would you say it’s a safe blind buy?
Definitely Ollie. I think it’s blind buy safe.
why the bottle nd the box is silver now??
This is the largest bottle so I know the box is different than the 100ml box.
Try afnan rare carbon too
Thanks Charles!
Indeed! My last purchase
I would never thought I would like that much since it’s so diff from all I have
It smells amazing
@@ismael85 yes it smells great. They are my favorite middle eastern house and then Lataffa. Afnan’s quality is great
@@Charlestoofire this was my first one.. and I ordered turathi blue.. will get this week
Now I feel getting the not only intense… but yeah… it seems to have better quality overall
This rare carbon.. I just sprayed on my hand.. it smells amazing
not only intense is more Hacivat than Aventis
I haven’t smelled Hacivat but this does smell like Aventus with more oakmoss. Is that all Hacivat is?
@Gerard George juicy pineapple and oakmoss basically but really well blended
Al Harmain is the best clone bro
Everyone has their go to. Glad you like it.
Can you tell me what season the perfume is for?
For summer?
It’s definitely a year round scent. Summer it will be good just don’t go too heavy on the sprays.
for me it's nothing like aventus. it's much more like paco rabanne black xs
I haven't tried black XS just yet!
It's more hachivantus""to me
You should trademark that!
@@gerardgeorge my son always gives me shit when I hit him with fragrance names and I'll clash some together and in his Best Southie lingo""hell say your a zippahead" pops he doesn't get me"🤔😏✊
This is Hacivat clone.. Afnan Supremacy SILVER is the Aventus clone. A little research before you make the video 👍🏼
Thanks Mike 👍🏼. Smells like Aventus though.
Hey Mike where did you do your research?
@@lexasuncion7060 LFG!!!!
@Mike Bernard
Supremacy Silver smells good but does not perform well at all. It starts off strong maybe 30 minutes and then quickly becomes a lite skin scent. They need to make a stronger version of Supremacy Silver.. maybe Supremacy Silver Intense!!
If this doesnt smell like aventus then i dont think any of the clones does. I have CDNIM and this.
I cant stand this one. Nasty in the biggining. Takes about 5-6 hours to smell good. Hard pass. Stick to l'adventure people.
What’s a bottle of l’adventure run these days?
@@gerardgeorge - I'd say $30 range bud. It's about 99% close to aventus.
@@gerardgeorge L'adventure is cheap, 25 to 30, but there's a new L'adventure Intense that puts the original to shame. Just like the Afnan, it's not a 1 to 1, but the intense is such an improvement on the original L'adventure that there's no reason to own both.
@@DannyBellTheAuthor good to know
@gerardgeorge I have both l'aventure and intense. Gorgeous clean scent. But major performance issues. They don't last and project at all.
