Aventus came Out in 2010 where you still could use Birchtar in more quantities and Oakmoss wasnt regulated until 2012 and completly banned in the end of 2018! That's why its Not smokey anymore and it lost it's Aftershave Like drydown that i adored!
I've ordered a bottle of Insidious. I do own a 2017 batch of Aventus but that's strictly for special occasions. Insidious sounds very much like the Aventus batch I first got my nose on in a 10ml decant. I tried it in my car one warm afternoon, got out locked up caught a slight breeze and Bam! I was mesmerised, an olfactory orgasim.
Matt you absolutely nailed it! The main question I always ask when trying any Aventus clone, will it be crisp? Because my first ever impression when trying Aventus for the first time was, ooh boy that’s crisp!
I brought a 50ml decant in 2017 & have been nursing the b*stard like it’s on life support, not anymore!. If this has been questioned & passed the test, I’m in. Thanks for the steer Matt.
@10:00 I totally get you! That "Blub Blub Blub" sound perfectly describes the difference between most clones and Aventus, they almost never capture that pick me up effect of the original. From the ones I've tried, Vibrant Leather and Al Haramain L'Aventure came closest but both lacked performance on my skin.
Great video. Glad that you are doing reviews again. You have a presentation style that comes across as very genuine which cannot be said of many other fragrance reviewers. I’ve bought a few fragrances following your recommendations. Not good for my bank balance 🤣
I resold my CDN LE because it was too smoky and boom in your face! I got no pineapple at the top. I owned Zara vibrant leather and it was my best thus far but lasted about 4 hrs on skin. Since then, I’ve had a hard time finding the best smoothest clone. A lot of the middle eastern clones turn out to be too synthetic to me. 😢
fucking hell been searching for something like these for the past week. was ready to purchase. They don't fucking ship to italy. Not giving up tho. will find a way have you ever heard about Poseidon's Elixir 11Z mate? great video by the way, I feel your honesty through the screen fella. good fucking job
Grabbed a bottle of this after the chat about it on a FB group. Ive tried several inspired and have a 2017 OG and this is definitely up there ..though am not a batch w@@er. The price reflects the quality.
Interesting review, i have the damber wabsolute and think its great. Any experience woth the harajuku plum? I loved plum japonais from TF hopefully they have nailed that one also
@davebee70 nothing like buddy , Vespero is much muskier and of course leathery, they are not the same. The opening of Vespero is a little similar but this one is pure Aventus
Good to see you back Matt. 🙌 I've been waiting for a review of this. I have had it on my list for a while but have been holding off. I trust your judgment so will go ahead and purchase. Btw, I'm hoping you also own Plum Harajuku; if so, what's your take?
@QuestioningScents Quick update Matt. I went ahead and ordered both Insidious and Plum Harajuku with my bottles arriving yesterday......and I'm so glad I did. I don't own older batches of Aventus nor have I smelt Plum Japonais so can't make any direct comparisons. I can only judge on the quality of the smell and my verdict is that Insider Parfums have, once again, done an amazing job.
At 310$ AUD BEFORE shipping for 100ml they're taking the piss. Paid 318$ for 100ml of actual Aventus. Maybe if they start doing 100mls at a decent price it'd be worth picking up.
Nope. Never been paid a penny for a review either here or on Instagram. I did make it quite clear that the bottle was given to me , but I would have happily bought it , its a cracking perfume.
I wondered this myself but I have to say I agree with these reviews. I've never understood the Aventus hype as I've tried it multiple times and always been underwhelmed, I chose Hacivat as an alternative myself. However, I wasn't into niche fragrances when Aventus came out and have only smelt the new formulations. I tried Absolu Aventus and while it was nice I'd never buy it as I already have Savage Elixir but find it obnoxious on its own. So layering with an Aventus like scent would be perfect. This started getting recommended and I found a sample, wore it once and bought a bottle, I instantly understood why people loved it. I can't compare to the old batches obviously, but it's much better than the new ones IMO. Performs well, has elegance and subtlety, it's great.
Just ordered it, excited for this one! Insider parfums also says that it contains pink pepper. Is this noticeable? Most of the aventus clones don’t have this note and i think its an important note, like armaf cdnim limited edition has it. I gives this nice sweet smell, i don’t know if its the pinkpepper or blackcurrent. Anyway both are in there :)
People are complaining about not buying expensive clones but they'll buy Hacivat for $300 LOL
Spot on mate, they’re lunatics!

You are in for a treat then buddy
Matt you absolutely nailed it! The main question I always ask when trying any Aventus clone, will it be crisp? Because my first ever impression when trying Aventus for the first time was, ooh boy that’s crisp!
And they nearly always miss it for some reason. This one though , its on point buddy

Welcome buddy , so glad you are enjoying this awesome perfume
Great to see you’re back 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
So it looks like they just did a new website refresh, they have a lot of interesting inspirations but their shipping to US $35 is alot!

I took the bait and bought it, and man thank you bc this smells like they took the old batches of aventus and infused it in the insidious bottles 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's sooo good isn't it buddy ? Awesome , glad you are enjoying it mate
and happy new year by the way!!
fucking hell been searching for something like these for the past week. was ready to purchase. They don't fucking ship to italy. Not giving up tho. will find a way
have you ever heard about Poseidon's Elixir 11Z mate?
great video by the way, I feel your honesty through the screen fella. good fucking job
Id really like to see your opinion on parfums vintage house, emperor or emperor extrait to be exact.
How does it compare to Hacivat by the way good sir?
It's not like Hacivat buddy , Apart from the juicy fruity accords it's not like the Nishane
Grabbed a bottle of this after the chat about it on a FB group. Ive tried several inspired and have a 2017 OG and this is definitely up there ..though am not a batch w@@er. The price reflects the quality.
Yeah the quality is awesome indeed mate
Interesting review, i have the damber wabsolute and think its great. Any experience woth the harajuku plum? I loved plum japonais from TF hopefully they have nailed that one also
Not tried it yet buddy , when I do , my thoughts will be here 😀
In the US , just got mine and wow it smells so goood compared to all these other middle eastern clones.
Brilliant perfume, I'm so glad you are enjoying it buddy
@@QuestioningScents does it get better with maceration??
@@BlessedDelight1 Mine got a bit more potent after a month or so
@@QuestioningScents how was yours when you first got it? Mine seems light so far.
@BlessedDelight1 It was very bright and sharp note definition, decent performance with excellent sillage
Great video mate 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
Hi, how does it compare to Vespero?
@davebee70 nothing like buddy , Vespero is much muskier and of course leathery, they are not the same. The opening of Vespero is a little similar but this one is pure Aventus
Great review bought one ,now must give up UA-cam and social media in new year between runners and fragrances I’d be better off down the bookies 😊
Ha , I know that feeling. Hope you enjoy the perfume as much as I do mate
10 out of 10 I must say I’ve worn many fragrances and insidious is the only one my wife picked up on and complimented
9:54 😂 i totally get this 👌🏿
Good to see you back Matt. 🙌 I've been waiting for a review of this. I have had it on my list for a while but have been holding off. I trust your judgment so will go ahead and purchase. Btw, I'm hoping you also own Plum Harajuku; if so, what's your take?
Ahhh I don't have PH sadly, but I'll endeavour to find out. This one however is such a wonderful perfume
@QuestioningScents Thanks Matt. 😊

@sandymcconnell1969 they really are very good indeed , glad you are enjoying them mate
How was Insidious for you Sandy?
Have you tried offerings from Montagne and parfums vintage?
Not the Montagne but I have tried a couple of PV over the years
@@QuestioningScents Which one is a better clone of Aventus?
@alirezanadali6524 this is the most accurate interpretation of older Aventus I have ever tried
@@QuestioningScents Thanks!
Dove acquistare
How does it compare to niche4all pineapple oak?
Much more like Aventus , remember pineapple oak is an Aventus/ Hacivat hybrid
@@QuestioningScents Is it of similar quality? I use PO almost daily, but I'm missing a bit of birch from aventus :P
@andreasyiangou84 The quality is on par or even better than Aventus. It's easily thr best quality Aventus like perfume I have tried
At 310$ AUD BEFORE shipping for 100ml they're taking the piss. Paid 318$ for 100ml of actual Aventus. Maybe if they start doing 100mls at a decent price it'd be worth picking up.
Fair enough
Or you could just buy 50ml and stop whinging?
@@tastematters1870 😂
or I could put my money into the original and forget this brand exists. Weird how that happened.@@tastematters1870
Qualcuno puo tradurre 😭 in italiano le impressioni su questo dupe
who compared insidious with emperor extrait?
Stick with emperor extrait these reviewers are getting paid.
It sounds like a perfect clone?
It's more than a clone if that makes sense , it's just fantastic
You cant get a 50ml vintage, aventus was 120ml and 75ml and 30ml
Amazing !
Is this a paid plug ? Seems a lot of UA-camrs been paid to plug this !
Nope. Never been paid a penny for a review either here or on Instagram. I did make it quite clear that the bottle was given to me , but I would have happily bought it , its a cracking perfume.

Performs well, has elegance and subtlety, it's great.
The it smell well blended? How’s performance?
Nice
Great
Does it have ambroxan/ambergris?
Yes it certainly smells like it. Not sure which they have used but if it's Ambrox it's been done delicately as it's a rather natural smelling perfume.
Just ordered it, excited for this one! Insider parfums also says that it contains pink pepper. Is this noticeable? Most of the aventus clones don’t have this note and i think its an important note, like armaf cdnim limited edition has it. I gives this nice sweet smell, i don’t know if its the pinkpepper or blackcurrent. Anyway both are in there :)
Ah man it will be good to hear your thoughts when you do get it. Extremely tempted to buy it.
@@Philippe_R its on his way, will let you know :)
@@Philippe_R are you still interested in a bottle?
Creed cologne and avenues is still the king also clive Christian no 1
sounds good, but not gonna spend 100€ on a clone..
Fair enough
